We were very excited to be going with our friends to celebrate their 45th anniversary at Alexanders on Saturday evening We had reservations for 7:00 and arrived on time and were quickly seated. The restaurant was full and very noisy but lively so I had no complaint with the noise. We told the server that it was our friend's 45th anniversary and he congratulated them on such an exciting event. My friend brought a special bottle of wine to enjoy with our dinner. From that point on it was just awful. We waited forever to order appetizers and to get the bottle of wine opened. We told the server to let the wine breathe before pouring any. He ignored that and poured wine for two of us anyway. We ordered two special cocktails and both we terrible. One was remade and the other we just didn't drink. It took almost an hour (seriously an hour) before the appetizers arrived. The explanation was that they had an 80th birthday party for 30 people upstairs and it had backed up the kitchen so please understand. If they had a party for 30 people they should have planned for that, not just let all of the other guests just wait, and wait and wait. Finally the owner, Joe I guess, came by and said "sorry for the delay". After an hour and twenty-five minutes the food arrived. I will honestly say that at that point I was done and if it had not been our friend's anniversary we would have left. The saving grace was that the steak that I ordered arrived and it was perfection. It was delicious, cooked and prepared perfectly. The other main courses were wonderful also. The sides were okay. At this point we had been there almost two hours, waiting over an hour and half to get food. I expected that at the least, knowing that this was an anniversary dinner and so far it had been less than perfect, the owner would come by and offer dessert to say congratulations and thank us for waiting and staying. I guess my expectations were too high. Instead the server never acknowledged that this was a less than great experience and never offered anything. The owner sat at the bar on the phone. I guess he was busy. Not sure I will ever go back. read more

Great experience! Finally, a real steak house in the area. 10oz filet was cooked to perfection (medium rare). Katie at the bar was great. Met Joe, the owner. Very nice gentleman who filled me in on the history of the building. Highly recommended and I will definitely return. read more

Attended a large group party and the service was relaxing . The fish was fresh and delicious

We've had dinner twice here in both times was very good. The first time you could see that it was a new restaurant that was shaking things out in the service area. Food was great. The second time they have seem to improve the service and was better than the first time. Alexander's is definitely giving Hyde Park a run for their money in the area for steaks. read more

Food is always fabulous! Cozy and private atmosphere with unique artwork in each room. A delightful dinner experience!

Appetizer. Thai chili chicken. Hot fresh Crispy spicy tasty. House chard and beach hippie. For dinner Alexanders burgers and fries. Very tasty!!! Fries are potatoes cut and fried and you can tell the difference. Definitely will be making this a regular stop!!! read more

Alexander's - Burger and great fries - Steakhouses Near Me - Ormond Beach, Florida

When for my Birthday steak was very dry. Cream spinach my favorite was the worst I have ever had. This is not a good restaurant. Will never go back. Plus they are 3 times more expensive than a good restaurant. Sure spoiled a good Birthday. read more

My wife took me to Alexander's for my birthday. We sat at the bar waiting for our table. The drinks were well prepared by the female bartenders that definitely know how to make a perfect dirty martini and Old Fashion! Once seated, our waiter took the time to explain the menu. We had bread and water glasses filled immediately. We had very fresh salads and the steak. Wife had a NY Strip and I the Filet with sides of string beans and mashed potatoes. Everything was cooked to perfection. It is the BEST steak I've had since living here for the past 8 years! Cooked perfect, so tender I could cut it with my fork. During dinner the owner came by to check on us. The story behind the place is very interesting. I recommend Alexander's for special occasions. It's on the expensive side but well worth it, the ambiance and food and drinks, excellent! Go, you won't be disappointed! read more

Very nice! My fiance and I were looking for a memorable place with great food and that's what we got. Our server was attentive and super personable. The food top notch. We'll go again! read more

NY prices with Longhorn quality. 4 different dishes ordered for the table and not one was worth half the price. Atmosphere is okay but service is rushed. Go elsewhere. read more

My husband and I are very happy with this new version of Alexander's. The manager Joe has been super cool and the food there is quite amazing. The service is really really good. read more

Beautiful inside but the ambiance can't hide the disappointing food Started with bone marrow app no fat in it and was full of very tart capers and mushrooms- I wanted marrow usually served with some garlic They took it off the bill - then an enemic Cesar salad over dressed with store bought little cubes for crouton Next came the special Halibut Way over cooked and dry and I believe previously frozen Was told sourced from Chicago fresh? Seems to me Alaska is a long way from Chicago and then to Ormond beach I did not eat it and we skipped out sourced deserts and since I already complained - just didn't feel like complaining again- I would suggest they buy fish next door at Hulls read more

I was in town for the race and we made a wonderful decision dining at Alexander's for dinner. Josh was an incredible server who made the overall experience top notch. The old fashions were great and the strip steak was a 10/10. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thanks Joe for a great night. read more

Food was great. Had the medallion's. Mushrooms excellent. We had a group of 12 and the service was perfect

Excellent food. Service is great. Split the porterhouse for two, really tasty sides of creamed spinach and king crab mac. Drink menu is solid. Wonderful place to go for special night out. read more

What a great evening of dining! Everything was perfect for the attention by the server, the options on the menu and especially how great our dinner was. I recommend this place for an evening of fine dining call for reservations...enjoy a special evening out! read more

We were both feeling steak for our anniversary supper . When I couldn't find th steak house we had gone to a year earlier, we searched the reviews. We were a few blocks from Alexander's and after reading the reviews, decided to give it a try. We are very glad we did. My wife had the NY Strip and fries and I had the 10oz filet mignon with fries. We shared a large house salad and had fried calamari as an appetizer. Everything was really good. The steaks were tasty and season very lightly not over done with spices like you see on the Longhorns commercials. Matt was our server and kept out glasses filled with water and coke as well as giving advice on the different plates. For dessert, we both had the chocolate crunch cake with gelato. We saved it to eat at the condo. Wow! The atmosphere was inviting, warm and nice. The entire staff was friendly. The prices were appropriate and gave us a new restaurant we look forward to revisiting each time we are in the area. It was a wonderful way to begin our anniversary night.

Fantastic restaurant on all points! Took my dad for his 93rd birthday. The food was perfect. My Favorites were the filet mignon medallions. Table sides of spinach soufflé, mashed yukons, hashbrowns, and asparagus were all great. One friend ordered the special of scallops with a green curry that smelled insane! He said they were really tasty. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Our new favorite place! read more

3.5 but I'll push to 4. Seems hard to find amazing restaurants in north Florida. It was good, everyone enjoyed their meal. I wouldn't say the best we have had, but pretty good. Prices are a little too high and the credit card fee was $10 also ridiculous. Nice place but weird layout. I did notice the server stuck her fingers into used glasses to pick them up when bussing the table and then with the same hands was setting the table with clean plates a minute later, so that was a major turnoff and the staff need training on that part. First, you do not ever stick your fingers into a glass to take it off the table, second you're literally transferring that person's saliva onto a clean plate that another will be using. So I question the attention to hygiene. If she washed her hands in between, great, but I didn't see it and perception will make or break you. The owner needs an immediate preshift to address that. read more

Had a wonderful time celebrating our anniversary with a quick unplanned stop to try dessert on a whim. We were treated so special and had a delicious chocolate crunch cake and gelato. High recommendations for a beautiful and unique old style steakhouse that service is unmatched. Thanks to Joe and his team of amazing staff that made the night so great! read more

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent drinks! The two young ladies that were bartending were delightful!! Loved the decor. Will definitely be back!!! read more

The food was awesome! Season and the plate creation were magnificent! Our server Josh was great! Right on time with everything! We decided to spend our 20th anniversary here and we were not disappointed at all! Great food and great service, awesome atmosphere as well. read more

Food was great! Went for our anniversary. They don't do anything special for occasions, we had never been there so we knew nothing about how the menu worked or if they had specials. We had to ask a lot of questions. Wish we knew they had specials . My husband asked but she didn't hear him. Overall it was a great place for steak. Will give them another try when we have a special day to celebrate. That's when we splurge . read more

Food was Great! Service was excellent. Nice to have upscale steakhouse in Ormond Beach. Definitely recommend The King Crab Mac n cheese

Excellence all around. The atmosphere is warm, cozy and invites conversation with background music appropriately heard. The service was efficient, respectful and timely. No cell phones visible and attention to detail just right. The food was top shelf with many choices. My little group shared appetizer and dessert but each selected the burger that was again beautifully plated as though it was the finest filet Mignon. We agreed to return and venture into the prime cuts the next time. Make a reservation! As an aside, there is ample parking in a dedicated lot to the side of the restaurant. So far, the best addition to Ormond Beach! read more

Just don't bother - 4 of us went for dinner. One of us ordered her steak medium well; it arrived medium rare; she sent it back, it came back medium rare again; back it went to be returned well done. The manager came to our table and said they would not do it for her a third time and he would take off her bill. No apology and no offer for a new steak to be prepared the way she ordered. So, she had no dinner. Another of our group ordered his steak medium well and it came medium rare. He ate part of it. The third member of our group ordered salmon, grilled with no spices; it arrived covered in butter and spices that ruined the flavor; he decided to not send back and chalked the dining experience up to a bad experience. Not an impressive first dining experience at the new place. Decor, ambience and service were excellent. read more

We love Alexander's Prime! It's a beautiful restaurant, with great people and wonderful food! Our family goes there anytime we have a special occasion!, which is quite often. We love it! read more

Would not go again, while the food was decent our entire party felt very rushed throughout the whole dinner. You would have thought that the restaurant was closing in ten minutes... our server, Kate maybe? While very attentive and nice, was almost pushy coming back every two minutes while we were just chatting and trying to enjoy our wine and company. The food, as mentioned, was good, but nothing spectacular. Felt like I was trying to be "sold" on more wine, appetizers, sides, etc. read more

awesome service. best steaks and apps in Florida. the owner Joe was great and Josh our server was 10/10!

Went to this restaurant for a special event Saturday night. Decor in the restaurant was fabulous. Our server was outstanding and took excellent care of our party of 20. We started with drinks and appetizers. The crispy calamari was so delicious!!! We moved on to Caesar salad. The salad was very fresh with just the right amount of dressing. The croutons were crispy and delicious. The steaks were cooked to perfection, perfect temperature, juicy and beautifully seasoned. Not to mention wonderfully tender. For sides we had the skillet hash browns, mashed potatoes and the creamed spinach. All of it was absolutely delicious. I don't know what they called the dessert we were served, but it was a like a small round beignet. Nice and warm, the perfect amount of melt in your mouth sweetness. All the food was beyond excellent. And the service was spectacular. I would absolutely return to this venue. We were also very happy to be able to meet the owner and inform him how much we enjoyed the experience at his restaurant read more

What an absolutely AMAZING experience! Thank you Eric for your exquisite service and experience. From beginning to end was 5 stars. The quality of the food was on another level from what we have experienced elsewhere. This 1920'a historic building had such character. Will recommend to everyone for a special experience. Even the bar was welcoming with live music. read more

Finally! A truly exceptional dining experience in Ormond Beach! Surprisingly, Alexander's Restaurant was packed on a Monday night. The place looks refreshed and welcoming! The staff are attentive and friendly. My waiter, Trevor, made spot on recommendations and provided excellent service: The specialty cocktail, a small batch bourbon elixir, was warming and yummy. The bucatini with clams and shrimp was the best pasta dish that is currently being served in all of Volusia County. (In my humble view, of course, and I have tried all of the local restaurants worth trying.). The desserts are made on premise. The carrot cake was just the way that I like it, not too sweet with a moist carrot flavor. The owner, Joe Oliva, is an old-school restaurateur with a lifetime of experience from the high-end NYC restaurant scene. Fantastic quality food and friendly service at a very fair price. Definitely my new favorite! read more

Alexanders is incredible! From soup to nuts, the most enjoyable meal we have enjoyed in a long time. If you like seafood, do not miss the appetizer. We will definitely be back... again and again read more

It was our first time dining at Alexander's. We were a party of four. My boyfriend and I ordered the Delmonico steaks. I ordered mine medium, and he ordered his medium rare. Our friends ordered fillets. Our server, Kayla, was excellent, but, when our steaks came out to the table, our friends filet mignons were cooked perfectly. Our Delmonico steaks looked like they were still "mooing!" We had to send them back to be cooked more the way we ordered them. In the meantime, we told our friends to start eating their meals so they wouldn't get cold. They said they'd wait, but of course, in the meantime, theirs got cold the whole idea of going out to dinner to be served and all eat at the same time the manager or whoever he was, came over to the table and apologized. I was surprised that we were not comped the desserts that we ordered. I believe a great restaurant would do that with no problem. This restaurant was a treat for us as it is very expensive, the desserts are not, the second issue is that they sat us in the very back room, which stinks from cigar smoke. I am highly allergic to any kind of cigarette or cigar smoke. I came home with a headache and a cough. I think maybe they need to change the carpeting or the drapes out which you're holding the smells of the cigars. Not good for a nice restaurant. If they would've at least been kind enough to comp the desserts for their mixup with our meals, we would've certainly come back. Now I'm not so sure that I'll give them another try. read more
