“Celebrated my birthday here in Michigan. 🇺🇸 Nice food with excellent audience who sang me birthday song when a surprise cake was presented to me. Awesome vibes ❤️❤️❤️🥰🌺💯”
“The carrot cake was deliciously sweet. The deviled eggs were good. The pecan encrusted trout was AMAZING. The baby back ribs were just ok but the sauce was really good. Excellent service!”
“Love J.Alexander's Restaurant! Great selection of steaks, salads, desserts and exceptional specialty cocktails. We've been here a couple times, The service is top notch and there is a great atmosphere to enjoy. I like that even though the servers are all over it, the manager comes by to check on the table to make sure that you are enjoying your dining experience. It is a high end establishment and priced accordingly, but in my opinion, worth every penny and then some! Highly Recommend! Keep up the good work J,Alexander Team!”
“My experience at J. Alexander’s was overwhelmingly positive, especially when it came to the food. We ordered the smoked salmon dip, the Mexico City spinach queso, the Maui steak, the filet mignon, and the Very Best Chocolate Cake. Every dish was exceptional. The salmon dip, which I initially hesitated to try, ended up being the standout—rich, flavorful, and surprisingly addicting. The tortilla chips were served hot and perfectly crisp. Both steaks were cooked to an ideal temperature and required almost no additional seasoning. The quality and execution genuinely tasted homemade, and I have absolutely no complaints about the food. The interior of the restaurant is warm and inviting, with dim lighting and a beautiful barn-style ceiling that creates a comfortable atmosphere. However, a few aspects of the service and environment fell short. Our server was polite but not very attentive; we did not receive silverware until we asked, and each time she dropped something off, she hurried away before we had the chance to request anything else. It also seemed that larger tables received more of her attention, as she spent noticeably more time interacting with them. Additionally, the windows in the dining area appear to have a draft coming through the lower seals. You can feel cold air coming in when placing a hand near them, which made the seating area slightly chilly throughout the meal. Addressing this would significantly improve the comfort of the space. Overall, J. Alexander’s delivers outstanding food and a memorable dining experience. With a bit more attentiveness from the service staff and some maintenance to the seating area, it would easily be a five-star visit.”
“I was there for my birthday dinner the Party of Five. Three of us ordered the prime rib. Two of the Prime ribs were about an inch thick and the guest ate them and they liked it. The piece of prime rib that I had is about 1 inch thick on one side went down to about a half inch in the middle maybe a little less and then went out to about 3/4 of an inch at the end. It was loaded with fat and Grizzle very tough. Very disappointed with it I've never had that poor of a piece of prime rib from them before. I did not say anything because somebody else was picking up the bill and I did not want to make them feel bad. I wish I could post pictures on this review to show what I had.”
