Alexander's Steakhouse

I must say that I was disappointed. I expected much more in regards to food quality and service! The place was not very busy, and I expected the bartender to clear the plates quicker as well as provide my bill. The food was eh, average. The rice was good, but had way too much onion, which I think was a filler to save money. The steak was average at best. I woild not recommend eating here, paying a premium price for average service and food!

Made reservations for 6:15pm and was seated promptly. We decided on 2 hamachi shots, smoked organic duck, the blackened ribeye, 3 oz order of the A5 miyazaki wagyu and bone marrow (my own personalized tasting menu LOL). They offered to bring items one after another which was great so items don't get cold. They first bought us complimentary sparkling wine. I don't drink so they gave me a grape cider. That was nice of them. The hamachi shots came out next. There were refreshing and tasty. They told us to mix it up and then eat it in one bite. It took my 2 bites. I like the flavor and they had these crispy things in it to added to the mouth texture. Then came the bread service, they brought out artisanal bread made in house with their own specialty butter. The bread was normal, nothing special. The main attraction was definitely the butter. They offered 3 types: a wagyu flavor butter, a smokey flavor one and a european butter. My favorite was the wagyu, it was sweet and in second place as the european with a more savory flavor. We devoured the bread and they offered to bring us another. Next came the smoked organic duck. Oh such a great choice. It was very tender and it was served with 2 types of sauces. One was citrusy another was similiar to BBQ sauce. Separately I preferred the citrusy sauce but then I mixed them together it tasted good too. Came with a small side of yau choy which I thought was too salty. Then they decided to bring the A5 Wagyu, the blackend rib eye and the bone marrow all in one go. Nooooo! We went for the A5 Wagyu first since it's the most expensive and the highlight of the night. Unfortunately everything else got sorta cold. The Wagyu was melt in your mouth goodness cooked to medium rare!! They gave us a salt tray that had 6 different salts, so we slowly enjoyed every cut with eat different type of salt. Sooo good and certainly an experience worth trying. Next we attacked the blackened rib eye and the bone marrow. The blackened rib eye was interesting. It was covered in pepper but it didn't taste spicy though. It was also topped with green onions that were soaks in some citrus liquid. I thought it was yuzu but my boyfriend thinks it's pomelo. It tasted good, cooked to perfection (medium rare) but our throats weren't having it. We were recommended to place a spoon of bone marrow with each bite of steak which tasted good. I wonder if it was that combination to caused the irritation. Anyhow, not the restaurant's fault. We enjoyed the bone marrow. By this time, we were all stuffed and had no room for dessert.They were generous to serve us their signature cherry flavors cotton candy and even gave us complimentary hazelnut bonbons and honeybutter tart with blueberry. Service was very good. We were served by two different people forgot their names but they were very attentive and knew the menu items and etc. Our water cuts were filled non stop. Service did go slower near the end since they got a lot of new guests arrive but understandable. Parking we parked on the street (free on Sundays). Otherwise they did offer to validate for the parking structure. Overall it was a great dinner. I will most likely be back to try their other items!

(Grade C+) Like my dad used to say, "You can do better..." We were a bit disappointed. I grill meats fairly regularly and cut/clean my own meats, so I'm fairly experienced in meats, grades & cuts. I have to say though, the Organic Green Salad & the small breads were amazing.The bread came with 3 types of butter, one was in a bone, in the place of the bone marrow. They did offer a complimentary refill for the bread which we declined because we wanted to save our appetite for the steak. So we ordered the Kansas City Strip and the Ribeye Chop, about $70 each, they were not as we expected. I wanted the regular NY steak but our server recommended the larger Kansas City Strip (mistake). The Ribeye has a lot of silver skin, not used to seeing that in prime meats.The meats tasted ok but I had to do a fair bit of dissecting to remove inedible parts. The other thing that bothered me was what seems like the constant badgering of the server to upsell, change from one to the other, as things etc. Not appropriate for a high end restaurant.

This was the BEST dinning experience I’ve ever had! I came here with my fiancé for my birthday. We were taken to our table, and the restaurant had a birthday card waiting for me and served us champagne! It was such an unexpected and lovely touch! The drinks were amazing, the staff were incredibly attentive and polished, the atmosphere was just gorgeous-think modern, high end Japanese/American aesthetic. And the food was perfection!! We ordered the Porterhouse, Mac and cheese and KFC (cauliflower). The porterhouse was one of the best cuts of meat we’ve ever had. For dessert, we had cotton candy and cheesecake. It could not have been more perfect. If you come here, you should be expecting an expensive night out, but you get what you pay for and this was worth it. Especially to celebrate a special occasion or for a romantic dinner-I would highly recommend coming here!
