We came here for dinner on the recommendation from a lot of locals. The locals need to get out more. We had the buratta and scallops for appetizer (fine) and the filet and short ribs for dinner (avg) I Loooove me some short ribs. These were maybe the driest I've had in a long time. They didn't fall off the bone nor were they cooked with food spices and seasoning. My wife had the filet,which I tried, and it was serviceable. It wasn't cooked properly but it was fine. We then had the creme brulee for dessert along with some ice cream the creme was good and the ice cream was freezer burned. I love traveling to other states because it makes me realize that NYC truly has the best restaurants in the country. The food is so well prepared, along with any type of food you want whenever you want it. Reading these.other reviews saying this is the 'best meal of their lives'...people. This restaurant perfectly fine. What made me give 4 stars instead of 3.or even 2 was the service. Angela might be the best waitress my wife and I have had in years. Personable, kind, not intrusive, knew the menu backwards and forwards and seems to be an incredibly hard worker. THIS is the type of employee every restaurant should beg to employ. Without Angela and her incredible service I think this restaurant needs to rethink the chef and see (if possible) if there is another option nearby for a new one.

It was our last night of vacation. Decided to try this restaurant since it was near the Hilton. So glad we did. The food and service was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere was very nice being on the water. We will definitely return when visiting Hilton Head.

We have lived in the Hilton Head area for six years and have dined at many excellent restaurants in this area. My wife and I both agree that this is possibly the best meal we have ever enjoyed here. My wife had the crab cakes which were seasoned perfectly and made with plenty of blue crab meat. I had the blackened snapper which was superb and extremely fresh. Dessert was a delicious key lime pie. We can’t wait to return.

We made a reservation weeks in advance for our family of 10 as we have been visiting this place for many years and it was one of our favorites. We were turned away for a private event. The manager, Honey, who had personally confirmed our resvervation, was unapologetic and shockingly rude. If I were the owner, I would feel embarrassed to have her representing my business. We will never return and will be sure to spread the word to all of our friends who frequent the area.

They claim to be "fine dining" and JUST POSTED a dress code link on their website (which was not present upon booking my reservation). I feel like this is an oxymoron. If you have a dress code, the service should be superb. I don't want melted ice water in a sweaty glass that's been sitting on the table prior to arriving. I want all food delivered at the same time OR the children's food delivered first. My 6 year old son was the last to receive his food, nearly 10 minutes after the rest of the 12 person party received food. I had to ask many times for the drink I ordered before it was finally brought. I ordered their "famous" Shrimp n Grits. There was not a lot of flavor and I chose to not continue eating because the shrimp was not all fully cooked. In fact, I ordered takeout from a different restaurant while sitting on the table. If you want an actual fine dining experience, don't go here. Especially when they have a snobby attitude. Lastly, the bread tasted like a frozen baguette purchased at Publix. Suggestion is to lose the attitude, add in some music to help the overtly stuff atmosphere, and don't run out of "the special" 45 minutes after opening. What's the point of even having one if you are out. For the insensitive reply from the owner of reach out to call me to discuss - no thank you. Just do better. I won't be back though.

We came here for our 25th anniversary after having reservations for 2 months for a specific area of the restaurant. We even showed up 20 minutes early to make sure we could have a table by the window for our special night. We were then told that we were early and although they had a table another couple that was going to get engaged that night had it reserved. We agree we’re early and said we would wait until our reservation time. We waited 45 mins and then were told it would be another 20 minutes because we made a request to be by a window and that is not part of a reservation. I could not in good conscience stay after that remark and we had to find somewhere else to celebrate.It’s a shame because they did not plan well for our last anniversary reservation request last year either but I was giving them the benefit of the doubt since we come to Hilton head often for our anniversary and have enjoyed being here in the pat. But we are now done with Alexander’s and the bad management there. We found a new place… Sage Room who took pity on us when we showed up after this treatment and made sure we were taken care of on our special night.

Was very disappointed with the 4 course wine pairing dinner. Well organized, great atmosphere. Service was wonderful, friendly staff. Food quality was poor. Courses were served cold, food items were under/overcooked. Would not recommend.

Very inattentive and slow service with no explanation offered. Food was mediocre; at best. I observed two tables that were seated after us receive their main course after 45 minutes before we were even served our first course. The 3 course menu was a fixed due to the Easter holiday so really no excuse for delay. Server reached across the table when delivering food or pouring drinks and was sloppy. Manager checked in after food was finally served (despite her many trips past our empty table and frequent check-ins with the tables around us) but was brief and offered no explanation. I observed how both the server and Manager were attentive to the tables around us but did not regard us the same. I will not return. The only reason I am awarding 2 stars is because my husband said the soup was good and the guest who was with us stated that he was impressed by the large portion he received and found it to be fairly good. I watched as the server prepared and bagged up the take home container for the other table but simply placed an empty to-go container on our table and walked away. I really can’t imagine why the service was on-point for others but not for us and I did not ask. I simply paid my bill with a 20% tip which was not deserved and will not return.

My wife and I went for the early specials, a limited, but very good selection, menu offered prior to 5:45 PM. The specials are $25. per person and includes an entree, soup or salad, a vegetable and appropriate starch, which for us was mashed potatoes. She had the mahi, which was a small portion and I had the 8 oz. prime rib. Everything was very good including the service. Dress is nice casual but not Tee-shirts or ball caps.

We have been to Alexander’s many times and the food and service is always excellent. Tonight was a bit different, food was great and service was quirky at best. We arrived 15 minutes early, 7 pm reservation, and were told to wait at the bar or inside/outside as they were seating the 6:45 people. So, we went to the bar. We arrived 10-15 minutes early in the past and were not told to wait at the bar or stand around waiting for a table. What’s changed folks? At exactly 7 pm the bartender told us our table was ready and we could sit down ‘whenever we were ready.’ Won’t that screw up your exact 7 and 7:15 seating if we decide to wait 10 minutes? We sat down and Michele was our server. She brought us water and bread and then walked away and waited on 2 other tables that were seated AFTER us. About 5-10 minutes later, after taking drink and appetizer orders from the other 2 tables she whirled around and realized she forgot about us. She said, ‘ the bar keeps sending people over’ and then took our order. We had the fritto misto appetizer, Wiener schnitzel, and fish special which were all great, nicely presented, and hot. Unfortunately, Michele was not very attentive so when she saw we needed a to go box we also asked for the check. So, I am being nice by saying service was quirky, it was not good.

A decent enough place overall, and the wait staff were very helpful, but the kitchen isn’t really trying, they coast because their main business is the tourists coming down for the week I think. The food is okay, but for the price should be better. I had the fresh catch special which today was blackened sea bass served on spiced navy beans. The fish was good, but the beans were seriously undercooked. Clearly nobody is the kitchen tried them or they wouldn’t have been sent out. It’s nice not to use canned beans, but if you’re going to use dried beans, you need to make sure they’re cooked properly. They also have a mold problem. I looked up to see a ceiling blotched with black mold stains. Which for some people can be a serious health issue. The place needs to fix whatever issues are causing the problem and then strip out all the drywall and treat the framing before putting up new. Where I come from the town would red flag the place and shut it down. I have thirty years in construction and remodeling, so I have a little bit of knowledge about this. I hate to leave bad reviews as I know how difficult the restaurant industry can be, but the management and kitchen have stopped trying. So dine at your own risk.

We arrived in Hilton Head Island tired and hungry. Alexander’s was the closest place so over we went and was it a perfect start to our girls trip. Lovely canal views, attentive yet not annoying service and delicious food. We were early by accident and were able to enjoy the early bird service. So we enjoyed prime rib and mahi-mahi along with soup or salad for $25! My prime rib came as ordered - rare! And it was so tender. We also ordered the pimento cheese appetizer and it was amazing! A great start to our vacation

We love Alexander’s! More of an “old school”Hilton Head restaurant than nouveau cuisine but a good, well rounded menu with something for everyone which we appreciate. Delicious beet, mandarin oranges, feta, pecans and melon salad last night with a nice light Champagne vinaigrette dressing for a starter. My wife and I both chose the filet which was grilled perfectly medium rare with scrumptious sautéed mushrooms and real mashed potatoes and a simple sauce. Delicious! A nice glass of Cabernet and we were happy campers. The hostess had no problem with our early arrival and was very courteous in getting us promptly seated on the back porch overlooking the water and Christine provided us with excellent service, attentive but not fussy or obtrusive. Very much appreciated. Relaxing atmosphere, beautiful location and scenery with great food and service.

Well some good some bad, first the good. Nice place, food was pretty good, service solid. Now the bad, we spent $20 on an appetizer, $13 on a salad, $11 on a bowl of soup, $10 on drinks and $38 on an entree. Since we shared the entree then you want to upcharge me $5 for sharing? That spoiled it for me.

We visited Alexander’s many times in the past 10 years as we enjoyed the venue, great service, and excellent food. This was our first visit back since May 2023 when neither the service nor food were very good. However, this evening was different. Our server, Angela, was attentive, personable, and took good care of us. Our food, the seafood pasta and Wiener schnitzel were excellent and there was plenty of food for leftovers tomorrow. We also had the calamari which were very good. We did not have dessert. Based on our positive experience we will be back.
