We chose Alexander's because of the wonderful reviews they received, and found that they were all deserved. In addition to letting me move my booking to 7:30 from 7:00, at the last minute because of a late arrival in Roanoke, they very kindly allowed me to have their "Shrimp bbq for two" appetizer in a half portion, since my husband...

We had lobster bisque which was watery, salad which was just lettuce (something else like nuts, seeds, onions, olives, anything would have been nice). I was ready to give up on the place, but the entrees we're wonderful! I had salmon and Tom had the seafood trio (scallops, shrimp and crab) and both were excellent. The wine list was pitiful,...

Not cheap but well worth the cost. We had a nice table, excellent waitress and the food was great. My wife had a nice glass on wine.

Alexander's continues to maintain a high standard for its food and service. I have been there often and it never disappoints. Each customer is treated royally and made to feel special. We recently went with a group of six and everyone was thrilled with their entree and appetizer. I especially enjoyed my shrimp, scallop and crab combo. The appearance of... More

We chose Alexander's, to celebrate our anniversary, because of it's reputation, reviews and a previous visit, and we weren't disappointed. As soon as we sat at our table, we were offered a complimentary glass of Champagne by the most gracious hostess, we ordered appetizers, a bottle of wine, main course dessert and coffee. Every course was superb, fresh ingredients, quality... More

My boyfriend and I just celebrated Valentines Day at Alexander's and the food and service was amazing. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate with white table clothes and candlelight. This was our first time dining here and we will go back! You are greeted warmly as you enter and they take your coat for you. For it to be a... More

First off, the food is good and nicely presented. The portions are very small so I was hungry after I left. I ordered the filet of beef and it had a huge chunk of fat right in the middle of it. The steak that I got did not appear to be a filet or even taste like a filet should... More

The food here was absolutely wonderful and the staff was extremely courteous and helpful. We arrived a little early and there was no problem getting us a table. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the food and helping us with a wine selection. Our dinner at Alexander's was a wonderful experience.
