J. Alexander's - Columbus

Excellent meal! We split a New York Strip steak and added a side. It was our anniversary so they had Happy Anniversary on the daily specials card, AND we were given a free dessert of the most incredible Carrot Cake imaginable! Stephanie was wonderful! All around great experience!

A Friday 7pm dinner for 8 adults Should not take over 20 min after Ordering drinks to arrive. Had to ask For water just to get something. Was annoyed by water dripping from above from pipes over our seating area. The food did not arrive at one time so some had to wait while others Felt awkward starting to eat.

Service could have been better. We waited awhile for drinks, our server, etc. I was expecting more based upon the reviews.

Wonderful food! Had the Cesar salad. Just enough dressing not overdone. Had a seafood pasta dinner that was amazing. Very nice wine selection. First time here but we will be back.

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 size and cooked to my liking but lacking seasoning and had little flavor. However, I’m a fan of their shoestring fry’s, they were really good hot and crispy. We also had the Artic Char. It was a great portion size and cooked well and hot when served, but way 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 a fish dish. The service was just okay. Our wait person was a bit slow and we had to ask for refills, not something you should have to do when paying that much. Overall was decent but does not make me want to go back.
