Food was mediocre at best. Not worth the $115 for my wife, daughter, and I. Service was excellent though.

Decided to visit today for the first time in awhile. Amazed at how bad the food is. Everything was blah besides the French onion soup.
Also, the bathrooms are absolutely disgusting and you can smell them from the dining room. They need some serious cleaning or remodeling to get rid of that smell. Seems like they really let this restaurant go.

Really delicious food. Honestly, all food was perfect or close to it. The filet mignon was cooked to medium rare and was buttery smooth. Mushrooms added as an extra quickly eaten with delight. French onion soup was a cheesy savory celebration. I personally ordered crab stuffed haddock. It was outstanding. Even though I broke my cardinal rule about buying seafood in a steakhouse. The clams casino was a delightful appetizer. Others ordered the 99 cent shrimp cocktail. 6 (small to medium ) sized shrimp with cocktail sauce. The enjoyed the surprisingly generous portion. The desert for the few that ordered them were enjoyed. The atmosphere was almost 80s steak house but appropriate. It just didn't warrant a perfect score. The only downside was the liquor. Super stingy. I ordered a double whiskey on the rocks. The liquid looked a dull yellow gold instead of the rich amber I see a most other restaurants. The servers were friendly and efficient. It was to busy and yet we rarely. Had an empty glass for long .

Had a large gathering. Our poor waitress was solo swerving 50+ guests. She did great but it definitely wasn't fair to her. People in our party did enjoy their meals however, unfortunately, the ribs that I ordered were very dry and I only could eat a small amount.

I don’t typically leave bad reviews BUT today I am, and not because I want to be a nasty person at all. I have been to Alex’s multiple times in the past and had great food. TODAY was not the case. I do want to say we had good service, not great but it was acceptable, the waiter was a young man and he was really trying. The food today was not acceptable in my opinion and I was highly disappointed in 90% of what was ordered. And the not timely manor of receiving our food.
2 tables (2 ppl and 3 ppl) were seated AFTER the waiter took our orders and BOTH of these tables had their meals before we had our meals.
The soup ( seafood chowder) was not a chowder at all. It was not thick and it was not creamy. This soup more like chicken noodle with a few itty bitty shrimp in it. The waiter told me NOPE that’s how we get it and it says chowder…. Not pleased with it at all.
Appetizer (buffalo shrimp) breading was super soggy, although it tasted pretty spicy which I did expect and it was decent…
MY MEAL I was the absolute most disappointed in. I have never ever asked anyone to take a meal off my check until today. I did eat 3 bites of this prime rib which was suppose to be “blackened prime rib over Gorgonzola penne” was pretty horrible. It dawned on me after a few bites that this prime rib was NOT much meat for a $32.99 pasta dish. AND it had Cajun seasoning on it and was NOT blackened at all. Again the waiter did not seem to know anything about the meals or how descriptions of food were not correct. When I said “this is not cooked right, it’s not blackened” he said “yea that’s correct, isn’t it spicy” I then said “umm yes it’s a tad spicy But blackened is BLACKened like slightly charred” and I googled and showed him pictures of a correctly blackened steak. He did not have anything to say after that other then he would not charge me for the meal after I asked him to take it off and that I did not want to order anything different to eat at that moment.
We sat at the bar for around 12-15 mins and waited to be seated and never even got asked for if we would like anything to drink while waiting. And the area that we were seated in was stifling hot 🥵… we literally felt like we were melting and it was an uncomfortable feeling while trying to enjoy dinner.
Picture below of my dinner. I forgot to take a pic of the soup. And a good pic of what a blackened steak/ prime rib should actually look like.
If you come here please try their savory fried Haddock platter it was amazing.

Not what it used to be. Food not so great. Ribs were piled up on side of grill and just heated up when ordered. Tried panko fish fry and not impressed.

I visited this resteraunt last night for dinner as my family is camping in Darien lake. We are from Canada. We would not find a combination of this food quality, service and pricing at home. Our server was so kind, the portions are incredible and could not get over how low the bill was. The resteraunt is beautiful. I will absolutely visit here again.
