The food was fine, but the bartender/waiter was fantastic. He was so charismatic and made great suggestions. I would go back specially because the service was so good. Also I’m gluten free and they were absolutely fantastic about it. It’s a solid neighborhood restaurant for a nice night out.
Didn't start off well given two dirty dates and dirty napkin; then a replacement plate was ALSO dirty. But having survived that, my dinner salad was terrific - made special with candied walnuts and cranberries. Their "build your own pasta" has great selections. I had fusilli with red pepper sauce and Italian sausage. My wife had angel hair with white clam sauce which was respectable. My son had the fried calamari with pasta - the steam from the pasta took off the breading but it tasted good.
We're just finishing dinner at Alexander's. This has been a delightful experience with excellent service from our waiter, Carlo. The Gnocchi Alfredo was beautifully prepared as was the Angel Hair with Marinara and Shrimp.
If, and when, we're back in the area, we'll make a return visit!
The grilled asparagus appetizer comes topped with pesto and tasty goat cheese and is not overcooked or soggy - done just right. I have had the wedding soup appetizer previously and it is good and for an appetizer the portion is generous.. On my last visit I had the Mafalda Alexander which I liked. To me the hot sausages in this dish are not that hot so if you are a bit timid don't worry. The portions are generous and the staff has always been attentive and friendly so give it a try.
