Their appetizers and desserts are the best! I wouldn't bother getting an entrée because the quality and taste of the appetizers and desserts are so much better. I wasn't impressed with their actual entrees. It is also kind of over priced.

My coworkers and I ate dinner here last night. I was excited to see that Meiomi was on their wine list as it is one of my favorite Pinot Noir's and I will say that they had a nice wine list. I started with a side Caesar salad which was huge and delicious; two people really could have split this.... More

The service here was superb, the food...not so much. I ordered char (fish) and it came with a side of couscous. The char was flavorful, but a little dry. The couscous was overcooked and over seasoned. My friend had rotisserie chicken and complained of it being on the dry side and not well seasoned. I also had a pomegranate martini... More

This is the 3rd time I have eaten here, the food is always up to scratch, so no complaints there. The time before the visit last Thursday me and my 2 friends experienced poor, very slow service and a slight attitude.

Had dinner recently with people from work who were in town with me for a meeting. The restaurant was very nice with attentive staff. The smoked salmon app was incredible. I had the roasted chicken for dinner and it was also very good. The location was close to many hotels and it was part of a huge shopping complex.

When just the two of us want to go out for a nice dinner, we always choose J Alexander's. We sit by the fireplace, while we wait for our table. Fresh squeeze orange juice always makes for a great cocktail. The food is always good. Miss the hot croissants though.

My husband and I have been to J Alexander's a number of times. Each time, we try something differant and each time we are very pleased. The atmosphere is quiet (we go early) and the servers are friendly.

My fiancée and I made a visit to J Alexander's for his birthday. The ambiance was perfect! A bit dark but perfect for couples! Dinner and drinks were amazing. Service was amazing. Pricey but well worth it. Will definitely return!
