Ive been going here for 20 years different locations. The food and service have always been amazing.Was extremely disappointed this time. Food had absolutely no flavor and the restaurant was freezing, the service was lack luster.

Awful experience. I shouldn't have to ask for silverware, napkin or a water refill. These waiters are so beginner status. Will never come back.

The food was well prepared and seasoned to perfection. Bathrooms were very clean, and I appreciate that. The service was ok. Our server did his job. Sorry that first rating was done accidentally.

The food was very good. I had the veggie burger and it was a top 5 veggie burger that I have ever had. I recommend you trying this if you are a vegetarian.

We wanted to be regulars here but the service wasn’t good the three times we visited this summer. Food arrived before drinks on multiple occasions. Had a really rude server lady (think she was a manager) last time we were there in September, and don’t think we’ll return.

Went in there to grab a steak and it was really good service, my friend and I were highly satisfied with the quality of our food. It was super festive as our waitress was a woman who highly resembles Wednesday adams. She was very attentive and made some good suggestions off the menu. Highly recommend.

First time in. Would highly recommend the Chicken Milanese. Wasn’t crazy about the orzo and rice, it was definitely different (served cold too). Chicken was cooked perfectly though, not too chewy. The mac and cheese was also good. The server came by the table multiple time to check on us which was great service imo. The only con was the lighting of the restaurant. The lights seemed to be angled in a weird way, I would recommend sitting at a booth or the bar. Other than that I would highly recommend this place.

We had the French Dip sandwich with the Not Your Ordinary Mac and Cheese - which is cheesy goodness in a casserole dish. If you haven't tried it before, please do. It will not disappoint. This dish better not, EVER be taken off of their menu. We were too full to have dessert there, so we took home a slice of their Key Lime pie. Delicious!

The food as usual good. The service this time was very disappointed. The waiter came and asked us twice if every thing ok. When he cleared the table and we ordered a dessert, I asked him to wipe the table, the waiter didn't responded and he did a face like he's not satisfied from my request. When we received the dessert from another server, I ask her to wipe our table and she told me, she will notify our server. He never came to wipe our table. The waiter came in the end to give us the check. One of our fish price in the check didn't match to the menu price. We mentioned to the waiter, he tried to tell us that nothing wrong and when we asked him to bring the menu he even didn't say sorry for the confusion. In addition the waiter add the tip for our check, our party 5 peoples. In the menu written "tip will add for party of 6 or more.Overall very dissatisfied from our experience tonight.

I was very much looking forward to a celebration dinner as I had a wonderful experience when I last ate at J Alexander’s. The service was extremely poor for a upscale restaurant on this visit. The waiter was barely available, did not offer additional beverages or dessert or ask if the food was OK. I fully intended to have the carrot cake which was so wonderful last visit but was so turned off with the absent waiter, I was not desperate to have dessert. Food was excellent but there are many excellent restaurant options on the North Shore. When you dine in service is important. Your restaurant did not meet expectations.
