Reviews for J. Alexander's Restaurant in Columbus, OH
My husband and I went there on a spur of the moment this past Friday as we were in Columbus for the OSU game. They were very... busy but very efficiently running we got the perfect table and the perfect server her name was Loretta she was very good at whatshe does and made our experience extra nice! We ordered the prime rib and Alexander salads with a side of broccoli all of it wasout of this world and perfectly prepared! Kudos to the management and entire staff it’s almost worth of a 2 Hour Dr. fromCleveland since ours closed in Lyndhurst a couple years ago- Read more
Food was good! High quality ingredients! My husband and I got the smoked salmon dip, rattlesnake pasta & chicken bacon ranch... salad. Large portions. 4 stars because the restaurant is very dark, more of a candle light experience & just not what we wereexpecting. We would go back for the food. Read more
Been a top-notch restaurant for years. My favorite dish happens to be the the ribs they fall off the bone. The Alex's salad,... filet kabobs right up there with with the soup. Service is really good but not quite as good as it used to be when they seem tohelp each other more. Still a favorite. Read more
The patio was great and would recommend it to anyone. We started off with the queso dip. It wasn't anything special and the... chips were fine. I had the steak burger and loved the bun. It was toasted to perfection. The burger itself was a decent sizeand cooked to my liking but lacking seasoning and had little flavor. However, I’m a fan of their shoestring fry’s, they werereally good - hot and crispy. We also had the Artic Char. It was a great portion size and cooked well and hot when served, butway under seasoned. The slaw they served with it was cold, crunchy, creamy and really good. The downside was the rice pilaf.They used some converted rice, which has no place in an up scale restaurant. It's was underwhelming and texturally off for afish dish. The service was just okay. Our wait person was a bit slow and we had to ask for refills, not something you shouldhave to do when paying that much. Overall was decent but does not make me want to go back. Read more
Made a reservation and was seated as soon as we arrived. Beautiful setting but did not feel uptight. Server was fast and... friendly. Food came out quickly, was very hot, and tasted devine. Would gladly come back to try more of their menu. Read more
Stopped in for dinner. We didn’t have reservations and they were great about getting us a seat. We both had large salads and... shared a side of the Mac and cheese. The grilled chicken salad was giant and really good! It was fresh and I couldn’t finishall of it. My husband had the tuna salad and it was really good and a good portion. We shared the side of Mac and cheese just totry it and it was a hit! Highly recommend trying it if you get a chance. The Mac and cheese side is a good portion and reallyflavorful. We had a bottle of wine and really enjoyed our dinner. Prices are in line with a high end restaurant. Highlyrecommend this restaurant! Read more
I live over an hour away from the closest Redlands Grill. I’ve been here twice as of today and I will be coming back more... often! The first time was great, but the second time it was phenomenal! The food and service was all great! Especially ourwaiter Kraig with a K in Columbus, Ohio on Vantage Drive. He was great from start to finish!! Best service I’ve had in a longlong time! Will be back a lot more. Read more
All I wanted for dinner was a good steak and a glass of wine. I got exactly that and excellent service. This is my filet cooked... rare and I requested a substitution of the potato for brussel sprouts. Would agree with other reviewers who commented on therestaurant being dark, but frankly I like it that way b/c I don't want to see those at other tables. Would definitely return. Read more
