Super food, great service: attentive but not overly so. The prices are not "bargain" but it is a much better value than, e.g., Outback Steakhouse or Cracker Barrel. The food is simply delicious and the waitstaff takes good care of you.

Decent service and the food was good. Prices weren't too high especially compared to restaurants in New York. Had the Cypres Salad and it was pretty tasty. They have Shock Top instead of Blue Moon, I prefer the latter. Shock is a bit cheaper for them to buy so I'm sure this is why they go this way

This restaurant needs to freshen its decor. Seems like it hasn't been updated for 20 years. The food was forggetful. Go to Bonefish Grill instead, really good food and lively atmosphere and not pricey

My husband and I have come to this restaurant for years. As far as I am concerned we will not be going back. The prices have increased and the portion sizes have decreased. They also do not serve the croissants anymore and they do not bring you any bread at all unless you ask for it. We drank water and... More

For this area J Alexandar's is the best. Good food, good service and very clean. Great atmosphere which other restaurants simply do not have. Might intimidate some of the "locals"!!!

I used to really enjoy going here to eat for a special occasion. It had to be special because of their HIGH prices, but it used to be worth it, now not so much. First mistake they made was going el cheapo and getting rid of their free croissants. They give you this crappy bread now that really isnt fit... More

We had great service from the manager and the waiter. We were celebrating a wedding and the manager gave us extra room for the cake and gifts. Our meals were very good. The rattlesnake pasta and crab cakes were the best. The prime rib had a good flavor but had too much fat for me. I would return to J.... More

This place was unreal. The atmosphere alone is enough but they have great food. Everything on their menu is good you can't go wrong. The prime rib sandwich is great!!! Very tender
