We made a 6:15 pm reservation on a Saturday to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. The restaurant was busy, but not loud. We could talk comfortably at a normal volume, which already put this place ahead of a lot of spots on a weekend night.
Service set the tone immediately. Our server, Mario, was excellent. Kind, professional, attentive without hovering, and his recommendations were spot on. On top of that, the entire staff signed an anniversary card for us, which was a genuinely thoughtful touch. The manager, whose name I unfortunately did not catch, stopped by our table, congratulated us, and treated us to a dessert and two glasses of champagne on the house. That kind of hospitality is rare and it mattered.
We started with the deviled eggs. They were overfilled in the best way and topped with maple bacon that complemented them perfectly. We also ordered a bowl of clam chowder. It was not overly creamy, had small chunks of clam, and was well seasoned. All it needed was a little black pepper, which is an easy fix.
For entrées, my wife ordered the redfish and I had the Maui steak. The redfish was fresh and cooked perfectly, not dry at all, finished with a light lemony butter sauce. The couscous was properly cooked and well seasoned, not bland, and the asparagus had a subtle grilled, almost barbecue-like flavor that worked really well. My Maui steak was a 16-ounce boneless ribeye in a tangy marinade with hints of garlic and pineapple. The balance was excellent. Tender, juicy, and cooked a true medium rare. It came with smashed potatoes that were creamy and smooth without being thick or dry. Exactly how they should be.
Dessert sealed it. The carrot cake was outstanding. Warm, soft, moist, not overly sweet, with fine shreds of carrot and nuts throughout. Honestly, it is arguably the best carrot cake I have ever had.
Overall, this was a great experience. Service was top-notch. The manager makes regular rounds to check on tables, which shows real leadership. There are cards at the front listing the manager, assistant manager, and chefs by name, which signals pride and accountability. The only downside is the interior lighting. It is slightly dim and takes a moment for your eyes to adjust. That said, the staff more than makes up for it with warmth and professionalism.
Big thanks to the entire team, and congrats to Mario on his engagement. We will absolutely be back.

What can i say other than wow! I came here with my family given we love the Quarry Location and boy was this Place On Point! The Restaurant looks amazing and the food tastes even better! The music is calming, and the mood they set during dinner is superb. Our Waitress Trinity left a little to be desired, she may of been having an off night but i will not hold the restaurant accountable on her merits. The Seared Tuna, The couscous, and the Prime Rib were Divine! Our Desserts “Pumpkin Pie / Carrot Cake” Were the chefs kiss to a wonderful meal! This place is a Very worthwhile experience we will not soon forget! Great Date Night and Family Spot! 10 out of 10! I definitely recommend! Hopefully trinity is having a better day the next time we visit.

One of my favorite restaurants, so we try to go when we’re in a city that has one. Service was great and speedy. The Mac and cheese was amazing, tomato soup here is always so exquisite. The chicken and lasagna plate we ordered were just ok. I really miss the chicken Milanese they used to have.

We recently celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at J. Alexander’s, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and perfect for a special occasion, but still relaxed enough to feel comfortable. From the moment we were seated, the staff made us feel valued and truly went above and beyond to make the evening special.
For dinner, I ordered the New York Strip steak, and it was cooked to perfection — tender, juicy, and full of flavor. My wife had the crab cakes, which were perfectly seasoned, crisp on the outside, and loaded with fresh crab on the inside. We also enjoyed a fresh, crisp salad that was simple but elevated, a great complement to the main dishes. Everything was served hot and beautifully plated, with clear attention to detail.
The biggest surprise of the night came at the end when the staff brought out a slice of their famous carrot cake — on the house — to help us celebrate our 20th anniversary. It was hands down one of the best desserts I’ve ever had: moist, rich, and generously layered with frosting. That thoughtful touch truly made the night memorable.
J. Alexander’s combines outstanding food with exceptional service, making it a go-to for both everyday dining and life’s biggest celebrations. Highly recommend!
Alexis was a great server.

The special Burrata and Mozzarella appetizer was delicious!! The tomatoes were so fresh my husband doesn’t even like tomatoes and he ate 3! Lol
He also got the special BLT and I got the club sandwich and they both were amazing. The bread from the appetizer as well as both of our sandwiches was so fresh and soft!!

Steak (NY Strip) & Fries tasted fantastic. When they brought the steak out the waitress asked if I could verify the steak was cooked to my liking, it was not. So they took it back and made it right. That goes a long way with me. Crab cakes were good. I don’t understand why crab cakes is not on the menu at the Quarry location on the east side. Can you fix this?
Team you have to try the ice cream cake. YES it will make your back big, but your taste buds will be happy. It’s Oreos, Snickers, vanilla ice cream… chef’s kiss.
Great service and food at the La Cantera this weekend though.

Came to J. Alexander’s to celebrate a V.I.P in our family. Didn’t hesitate to celebrate here. Food is always so good and the service is outstanding. Thanks J.A. for another wonderful family memory we can add into our digital family photos.

We went there to celebrate my mother’s 82 Birthday, when we arrived our server presented my mom with a Birthday Card signed by all the servers, very nice gesture. Service was great, very friendly staff, food was good, but 3 of us ordered the Prime Rib, and when they arrived they were room temperature at best, so we had to ask to have them reheat, which of course cooks them a little more. Rest of the dishes were fine. Definitely recommend the place!
