Went on a slower night than usual so it was pretty quiet, the food was great and service was delightful. Attentive, helpful and seating at the bar was well chosen. Our bartender lady was great with my mocktail! Probably had one of the best caviar I've had in a while around in Pasadena. read more

My husband and I came here for DineLA for my birthday and we were pleasantly surprised and impressed by the food and service. We made dinner reservations same day on a Wednesday and arrived at 6pm. There was live jazz music playing in the bar to the left of the restaurant which set a nice romantic lively mood for the evening. There was a slight wait before the hostess escorted us to our table in a dimly lit room. Vibe was romantic, polished, and relaxed. Since it was my birthday, the hostess gifted me a "Happy Birthday" card with a thoughtful message inside. (Because we were celebrating my birthday, we received a free cheesecake dessert and pina colada cotton candy towards end of our meal -- it was spectacular). Eventually our gracious server Steven, arrived and introduced himself and provided us our dinner and drinks menu. Their drink menu was extensive and had a wide selection of wines and cocktails. One of my favorite parts of experience was the "Omakase" customized drink option (I'd come back just for that experience alone). My husband requested for a smoky, spicy cocktail with Tequila and what the server brought back to us was indescribably delicious. We can tell the mixologist who made our drink was a master at her craft. 10/10 recommend. For the food portion, we both selected the 4 course DineLA customized menu and got one of each item on the menu so we can try everything. We loved the Japanese fusion of flavors. I especially enjoyed the Appetizer Hamachi shots and Crispy Shrimp Amaebi. It had a refreshing balance of flavors that were good teasers for the next dish on menu, which was the Wedge salad (loved) and Beef Tataki (it was okay). Then came the main entree, which we both got the Filet mignon, which was a good standard steak at a fine dining steakhouse. I was slightly surprised the steak did not have any Japanese flavor notes since it's a Japanese fusion steakhouse. Nonetheless, that did not take away from our pleasant experience. Next time, I'd probably opt for a ribeye or tomahawk. Last but not least, the dessert finally came. We felt VERY spoiled because not only did we have the incredible flourless chocolate cake (my favorite) and mango sorbet (refreshing), we also got a cheesecake and cotton candy, which we were able to take home to enjoy later. We were beyond satisfied by end of our meal and would definitely consider coming back again. Thank you Alexander's Steakhouse for a great experience! read more

We came here for our anniversary and it's our first visit to the restaurant. When we entered the restaurant, I love the warm, luxury and romantic vibe. The greeter and server were very welcoming. I love how cozy the table is set up. I love a very thoughtful gesture when I saw a happy anniversary card waiting at our table. The menu has a variety of choices. We ordered the filet mignon and paired with a glass of Cabernet, the cod chioppino in lobster broth and paired with a glass of Pinot Grigio. For sides, we ordered the mushroom medley and Korean roasted cauliflower. The food is so perfectly prepared. For dessert, we ordered the cookie and cream soufflé, a yummy dessert. They also gave us our anniversary desserts which are the yizu cheesecake and the fun cotton candy. We are very pleased with this wonderful dinner celebration. Thank you Alexander's steakhouse. read more

Came here to celebrate my birthday, and it was such a memorable experience from start to finish! When we were seated, there was already a birthday card waiting for me at the table, which was such a thoughtful surprise. They provided complimentary bread service with their butter trio and it was incredible! Each butter had its own unique flavor, and every type of bread was warm and delicious. We ordered the grilled octopus as our appetizer, and it was perfectly cooked. It was tender with a nice char and beautifully plated with chorizo. We asked for the bone marrow to come out with the bone-in ribeye, and I'm so glad we did. Spreading the rich, buttery bone marrow onto the steak made every bite even better. The bone-in ribeye was cooked perfectly with a beautiful crust while staying juicy and flavorful inside. Our server even suggested saving some of the butter to enjoy with the steak later, which ended up being a great recommendation. We also ordered the Wagyu fried rice, which was tasty with the roe. The broccolini was a great side. Can't go wrong with that. To end the night, they surprised us with sparkling grapefruit/champagne, a birthday dessert and cotton candy. This was an unforgettable dining experience. It's definitely a splurge, but absolutely worth it for a special occasion. We can't wait to come back! read more

I recently visited Alexander's Steakhouse for a birthday dinner and overall had a pleasant experience. The portions were decent and the ambiance was great with warm lighting, comfortable seating, and a refined atmosphere that made the evening feel special. We ordered the 18 ounce ribeye, the cod cioppino, and the mushrooms and bread as sides. Everything was generous in portion, but the ribeye was cooked a little too much for my liking and lacked the distinctive char/fragrance that usually accompanies steaks at steakhouses. The manager was nice enough to exchange the ribeye for us with one that was on the rarer side which I appreciated. That said, I really appreciated the thoughtful birthday dessert they surprised me with. It was a nice personal touch that helped round out the night. Overall, a solid steakhouse whose accompaniments outshine the steaks in my opinion. read more

Parking: Underground parking shared with other businesses. It's pretty big and easy. Don't forget your validation! Shout out to Frederic! This is the third time that my gf and I have celebrated our anniversary here. It has also always been Frederic to wait on us each time. Not much to say but service has always been above and beyond for us and I love eating here. Alexanders is special for us because it's the time we spend the most eating what we like. Usually we order the A5 kagoshima special, but it was a 20oz which was way too big for us. We opted for a cut of the Miyazaki and Sanuki. They were absolutely delicious. When you've had as much A5 wagyu as you wanted, you know that the small cuts have to be insanely delicious to be meaningful. Every bite was extremely juicy and tasty. The salt plate is always one of the highlights of the night and each one makes the flavour of the meat pop out. Side dishes are also always perfect. They have my favourite mash and also some of the best wagyu fried rice I've ever had. Their bread plate is also the best appetizer, the three butters they bring out always taste fantastic. Alexanders is the go-to anniversary restaurant for a reason and it has always been with every dollar. I honestly wish I could eat here more often but it's always good to save it for a special occasion. Bonus points for Frederic remembering us and our usual orders. It's nice to have history with a place and being remembered. See you guys again! read more

This is a long overdue review of many meals at Alexander's. We try to dine a few times a year and if budget allowed would probably be here monthly. I've never had something that wasn't top tier and always try to experience something new. We always get the hamachi shots and Wagyu rice. I've had multiple different steaks and every cut has been phenomenal. The ambience and service are an elevated high end feel on par with the food quality and pricing. You get your moneys worth all around here. read more

My wife and I were looking for a romantic spot to celebrate her birthday and Alexander's Steakhouse was atop of the list. First impressions is that the restaurant is extremely spacious. It's quite the exhibit with the amount of space there is. We were seated immediately as we had a reservation before hand. Another note is that the restaurant is quite clean and atmosphere is very romantic, such a nice start. Parking - Free 90 minute validation for a underground parking lot right by Alexander's Steakhouse. To start, my wife was provided with a birthday card, it was a nice surprise and a very nice gesture. After exploring the menu for a bit, we decided on the Korean Fried Cauliflower, Fried Rice, and the T Bone Steak (22 oz), all to share. Our staff, Jayce, who was absolutely phenomenal, handed us complimentary bread and a watermelon bite (palette cleanser) before our orders arrived, a wonderful gesture as the breads came with various spreads that were super delicious. All bite size and very savory. The fried rice was very delicious, although it was a bit salty, it complimented the Fried Cauliflower dish we got. The sweet bite from the cauliflower mix with the fried rice created a nice sweet and savory taste. Overall, two wonderful dishes that I highly recommend, very delicious. Star of the show of course, is the T bone steak (medium rare, 22 oz) wow this was amazing. You can have the steak come out with the pieces already sliced off the bone, which we decided to. It was just super soft and melts in your mouth instantly. Each bite was so delicious and it was very cooked, would definitely get this again. After the meal, Jayce brought out a complimentary birthday dessert for my lovely wife, it was a absolute surprise and it was such a grand gesture. Very happy with this as we were able to have extra celebrations. Seem like every table gets handed a cotton candy stand after the meal, which was surprising, but it was my first time trying cotton candy and it was pretty tasty, melts instantly. Overall, I was very impressed with the high quality food, each bite of every dish was just astonishing to be honest. I've never had such high quality food before so this was a exceptional experience. On top of this, service was amazing, and a huge props to our server, Jayce, who made my wife's birthday dinner amazing. Will certainly be back to try other menu items and to celebrate special occasions. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would give infinite stars. read more

Ok, ok....... So this experience has now set the new standard for 5 star food experiences for us. Every single dish, cocktail and desert was top shelf. Cocktails: Vodka Daisy, the Omakase and the high castle we highly recommend. The half dozen oysters in yuzu-apple-mignonette was the perfect pairing. No need for horse radish or Tabasco! The popcorn crab was so unexpectedly delicious! We had the F1 Australian filet and bone in rib eye. Best cuts of meats ever, over the top better than anything in Vegas too. The sauces amazing, recommend the Shiso Bearnaise. Top 3 sides for us were the mushrooms, pork belly fried rice and the Kenneth fries, as fry fans, the best fries ever! The complimentary watermelon cotton candy was so good! We tried the Pina Coloda Pavlova deliciously paired pineapple compot, coconut crumble and more. Service is truly 5 star, atmosphere is that of a fine dining steak house and we recommend dressing up to dine, it's that good. read more

2025 Alexanders! Heard good things about this pasadena restaurant from friends. They were pretty on point with how it is. It's aite but personally I'm not planning on going back unless its a special event. It's Pasadena so you will have to pay for parking and expect to walk unless you take a ride share. We took a Lyft because we wanted to enjoy a couple of drinks. Make an appointment for dinner ahead and expect them to be late to serve you at your reservation time by twenty minutes or hopefully less. Do not expect the hosts to be too friendly either. Luckily you can wait and have a drink at the bar while you wait for them to have your table set up. If you want better service and dont mind sharing the bar with strangers i would suggest to do that. Service overall was not bad! The food came out within the hour and the workers made their rounds around checking up [or one person splashing water on my clothes.] Most of the food was decent. Dont get the fried rice or the oysters. Inside is nice and appears clean. Found it funny & cool they have cotton candy as dessert. We were too full from the food so didnt get to enjoy it. THANK YOU STEVEN FOR YOUR SERVICE! Thank you Remington for your kindness and good vibes. I really appreciate that. Fabian good man. Lawrence please improve your behavior. I dont think other customers would appreciate water being splashed on them when you are refilling a cup. I hope I'm the only one. Thank you for stopping after i kept smiling and being polite to you. read more

I celebrated an absolutely wonderful birthday here thanks to my husband. With a reservation, we were seated right away at a spacious table, which had a small birthday card for me. Our server, Jayce, was phenomenal. After putting in our order, some warm complimentary bread with 3 various spreads were brought out for us. The breads were fantastic and a great start to the rest of our dinner. We were then surprised with small, refreshing watermelon bites to cleanse our palettes. Our steak was definitely the star of the night. We requested it to be cooked medium rare and it came out perfectly. It tasted very flavorful, juicy, and tender. On the side, we shared some fried rice and Korean fried cauliflower. I was surprised at how delicious the fried rice was. You can tell that it is elevated, not your basic fried rice. As for the cauliflower, they were hot, crispy, and only mildly spicy - absolutely perfect. To end off, I was served a complimentary birthday dessert that included a lit candle. I don't fully know what dessert it was, but I do know that it was very tasty and delectable. The texture was super enjoyable to eat. On top of that, we had some pink cotton candy that was marvelously presented to us. I highly recommend celebrating your birthday dinner at Alexander's Steakhouse, which is only open during the evenings. They will not let you down. To make things even better, there is an underground parking structure right beneath the restaurant, and this restaurant will happily validate your ticket for the first 90 minutes. read more

There's street and structure parking nearby. Came on a weekday night. The staff were well dressed. The dining area appeared clean. Really enjoyed the squid ink bread. Got the Caesar Salad, Filet Mignon, and Yuzu Cheesecake. The Caesar Salad was really delicious. Got the Filet Mignon medium rare and thought it was alright. Was not a fan of the mashed potatoes. The Yuzu Cheesecake was really good. Would return for a special occasion. read more

My fiance and I came for my birthday on a Tuesday night. Service was slow. It took 40min to get our appetizer (popcorn crab) but when a large table got sat next to us we noticed they got the same appetizer within 15min of being sat. STRIKE ONE. I ordered a Medium- Filet Mignon but it was actually Medium Rare and still quite red through the center. Tasted fine but I refused to send it back and wait another hour just to eat. If you need 45+ min to cook it at least prepare it correctly. STRIKE TWO. They gave a general Happy Birthday card and a free celebratory champagne + dessert which was nice but the dinner took almost 2.5hr. Overall, we won't be coming back. Felt a more personal experience and better service at Ruth's Chris. read more

Went on Sunday to try their Prime Rib Dinner menu. Service was outstanding and just being at Alexander's feels elegant. Ordered the Prime Rib special served only on Sunday with a half bottle of Pride Mountain Cabernet. The prime rib melted in my mouth. It was so tender. Dipped in horseradish and au jus was the perfect accent. The brocolinni was a bit salty and some were tough, but charred perfectly. The Caesars salad was very good. Alexander's is a perfect place to bring your loved one. read more

I have to say I was a little disappointed, mainly because the steak wasn't what I expected. While it was cooked perfectly medium-rare, it was fattier and chewier than I prefer. On the other hand, the Goddess Salad was a pleasant surprise--absolutely delicious! It was fresh, flavorful, and honestly one of my favorite dishes of the evening. The yuzu cheesecake was divine and the perfect way to end the meal. The venue itself is beautiful and makes a great place for a celebration. We had 18 people, and the private room fit our group perfectly. Parking validation appears to cover only about 1 1/2 hours, so be prepared to pay for additional parking if you stay longer. Service started off strong, but toward the end of the evening it slipped a bit. We requested napkins twice and never received them. For a highly rated steakhouse, it's the small details like that that make a difference. Overall, it's a lovely restaurant for special occasions. If I return, I would probably order the filet mignon instead. The atmosphere, salad, and dessert were definitely highlights of the experience. read more

We tried their Dine LA menu, and unfortunately this visit was a bit underwhelming for us. The fish dish lacked seasoning and felt quite mild in flavor. Even after adding some salt, it still tasted rather bland. While it was served with a sauce, it didn't quite bring the dish together as we had hoped. Service was also slower than expected, especially considering the restaurant's usual standards. The pacing of the courses felt a bit off, which affected the overall experience. I've dined here before and had a much better experience, so this visit was somewhat disappointing by comparison. I hope this was just an off night and that the restaurant can return to the level it was previously known for. read more

Came here for an early wedding anniversary and was immediately greeted with a little card which was a sweet touch. Our table was situated in the back dining hall, in the middle portion of the room and they do have purse holders that you can request. Our main server and all the other staff were excellent. Attentive, kind, presented each dish knowing what was in it, and gave good recommendations. Really made you feel like this was a fine dining establishment. PRIME RIB SUNDAY special that we took advantage of. Cocktails: Split between aromatic and refreshing which is fun! + FROM NICARAGUA, WITH LOVE - Refreshing for sure! Passion fruit shined through, but could also taste the walnut bitters for some nuttiness and complexity. Served in a large glass with ice. + SOME LIKE IT SCOTCH - looked like an espresso martini but tasted like a carajillo. Very smooth and tasty. Complimentary items: + Bread/butter assortment - really tasty, all the bread was warm/soft. Butters were presented really nicely, one in the bone marrow bone. + Watermelon amuse bouche - refreshing starter What we ate: + HAMACHI SHOT - solid cold dish, love the diced radish on top and the crunchies although my partner said could use less of those. + Hokkaido Scallops - our hot starter - bone marrow foam · popcorn grits · grilled peaches · frisée · serrano chips - the peaches overpower the dish but the scallops were cooked perfectly. + Caesar Salad - part of the Prime Rib special - parmesan · anchovy dressing · squid ink croutons - could definitely taste the anchovy which I loved. + RIBEYE CHOP - 18 oz · dry aged · Flannery Beef from California - the real star of the meal and dare I say might be even the best ribeye we've had. Texture was like a wagyu but the seare and cut was like a ribeye. It was really good. + Sauces: PEPPERCORN SAUCE and BEARNAISE were both delicious and both really different flavor profiles so was perfect. + PRIMERIB - 16 oz and came with Au Jus & Zesty Horseradish. A nice piece of prime rib, lightly seasoned + MASHED POTATOES - so velvety smooth, unreal. Included with the prime rib special. + KFC - Korean Fried Cauliflower topped with gochujang sauce and was a large portion. It was tasty, but I don't think it went with the meal as much as I thought. Would pick another side next time. + Barrel Kissed Soufflé - chocolate soufflé · bourbon chocolate sauce · chocolate ice cream - also very tasty, heavy on the chocolate which I loved and the souffle was perfectly raised and airy on the inside. read more

From being seated to service to the food, everything was wonderful. The service was very attentive and friendly and greeted with a warm smile each time. We came here for the Sunday prime rib. The prime rib was delicious, flavorful, tender, and juicy. We also ordered the porterhouse steak and it was just as delicious! I can't believe I've passed by the restaurant so many times and never dined here. I'm definitely coming back here if I want some steak. Bonus: complimentary bread. There were the Hokkaido, cheese, and squid ink bread. We ended up ordering the Hokkaido and cheese bread again because they were so good. read more

My husband and I had a wonderful time when we dined here back in February. We decided to come back for our wedding anniversary tonight and I was utterly disappointed by the lack of care for my Australian Filet Mignon. I asked for medium well and everything was fine until I cut in the middle, it was rare. I stopped eating and informed my waiter. He didn't apologize when he saw it, and offered to take it back to cook it longer. I agreed and asked to pack it to go since it was already toward the end of our meal. When I got home, I opened the box and they didn't even cook it. It was still rare, exactly how it left the table. I'm dumbfounded by what I saw. Here's what we ordered: Glass of Riesling Beachwood Hayabusa Beer Australian Filet Mignon 20z Flannery Rib Eye Asparagus French Fries Peppercorn Sauce Melted Blue Cheese Sauce Chocolate Souffle Greek Silk Panna Cotta Complimentary Cheese Cake Complimentary Cotton Candy Service was good. Peppercorn sauce was packed with flavor. I won't order French Fries again, they were soggy. Unfortunately just very disappointed with how they cooked the Australian Filet Mignon and didn't even cook it again like promised. I just noticed they didn't pack our sauces either, which we paid for. I wanted to try prime ribs and they are only available on Sundays. It is limited so be sure to request it when you call. Not sure if I'll stop by in the future at this time. read more

We had a company dinner here and the service was great! They were so on top of serving, bringing out the constant stream appetizers, made sure everyone had their drinks, taking out plates away, and constantly asking if we needed anything else. So much appreciated for the service! I also liked that they never rushed us. We had one of the side private room. We stayed a long time conversing in the courtyard area before we head into the dining area and they just said we set the pace however we feel and they serve the main dish whenever we are ready. Food-wise, the star of the show for me was the add-on lobster tail! It was absolutely delicious! The Spanish octopus was tender and had all the different elements to it which was great. The yuzu cheesecake was so good (coming from someone who does not even like cheesecake in general). Some things that fell short were the Cesar Salad (very little dressing, wasn't any by the time you get down to the bottom layers of the lettuce) and the broccolini (was so matured that everything down from the top was so hard to chew/bite through). read more

Celebrated my birthday at Alexander's and was pleasantly impressed! The tomahawk steak was nicely seasoned and the lobster Mac n cheese was rich. I really enjoyed the wagyu uni toast, I'm surprised toast and uni work together. The hamachi shot was good but I felt like it had a tad too much ponzu. As for the restaurant itself it's very clean, the dim lighting makes it great for dates or special occasions, our servers were kind and consistently checked in on us. At the beginning offered us complimentary champagne and for dessert cheesecake. I still wanted to try the soufflé which im glad I did, I enjoyed it very much! read more

Came with 2 friends on a Thursday for an early dinner and it was easy to make a reservation online the week of. It was my first time dining here, so I was super excited. It definitely is an overpriced steakhouse, but the food was delicious. Upon walking in, the host did slightly throw me off, as I was expecting her to greet our group with a hello or welcome, or at minimum a smile. She wasn't rude but I expected a bit more for a first impression from a high-end restaurant. We were celebrating a friend's pregnancy, so they brought us out some non-alcoholic sparkling "champagne", which was very kind of them. They started us off with a complementary basket of their bread and butter and their amuse bouche. The bread and butter were interesting with 3 different types of each, and you get one of each type of bread per person. I enjoyed the squid ink bread the most. The amuse bouche was a cube of watermelon topped with cheese and a crispy wonton. I wanted to try their Hamachi Shot, which on their menu comes as a 6 pack for $36. Our waiter let us order just 2 for $6 each, which I appreciated as we didn't want 6. This was delicious and the citrus sauce pairs so well with the yellowtail. For my entree I ordered the 18oz Ribeye Chop medium rare, which was seasoned and cooked perfectly. I also ordered the chimichurri sauce, which paired really well with the steak. It was not necessary, but nice to try for some variety. For my side, I opted for the mashed potato and it was perfectly fluffy and buttery. One minor con was that they forgot one of our mashed potatoes, but they did bring it out quickly after we asked. For dessert, they brought out a fun made in-house cotton candy for the table. Overall, a solid and tasty meal. The ambience is classy and nice, and I'd come back again for a special celebration. read more

Dependable steakhouse with excellent service. Located right across the street from city hall. There is ample street parking available. Located in the heart of Pasadena, it has a relaxing ambiance that is often used for photo shoots. It's pleasant to sit outside to hear the fountains there too. Service is excellent without being overbearing. Food is presented with eye catching finesse. The bread plate was sublime. Reminding me of childhood rolls straight out of the oven. The black bread was pleasant too with its crisp texture. Salad was prettier than it tasted. The filet was plated nicely with smooth potatoes and broccoli rabe. Cheesecake was just right too read more

I really didn't take a picture of like 90% of what I ate, but it's a solid steakhouse and I'm not a big steak person. The scallops, mashed potatoes, and salad were lovely! The steak wasn't hot at all and I didn't love it, but I did appreciate that it wasn't bloody lol. Desserts were cool, but not the best. Chocolate one was probably the best of all of them. Also the cotton candy is really just cotton candy, so don't go expecting something crazy from the pictures. read more

Nice upscale steakhouse in Pasadena. Ambiance and service was great. Bread was good, as was the salad. Would have given this 4 or 5 star but they missed the mark on the most important part - the steak!!! Ordered a medium filet mignon, and it came out rare, even rarer than the medium rare steak my colleague ordered. They took it back, heated it, and it still came out rare. Missing the doneness once is unfortunate but missing it twice is unacceptable. Even Outback wouldn't make that mistake. read more

Alexander's is an upscale steakhouse with a little bit of Japanese influence. Because of that influence, you'll see some wagyu beef on the menu as well. The service is great and feels appropriate with the fine dining experience, but also friendly enough to not feel stuffy. The vibe here feels upscale for sure. Like if you have a carte blanche dinner budget for work or if you're going out for a special occasion. I came here recently with a group of friends/coworkers. We meet up every couple months and choose a new place. I didn't know about this place or too much about it before coming here. But to be honest, I rarely go out to steakhouses anymore. Because we went with the group of friends, we definitely ordered family style, where we ordered a few steaks along with a bunch of sides and other dishes to share. We got: - seafood pasta - blue lake beans - KFC (Korean fried chicken inspired cauliflower) - mashed potatoes - mushroom medley - rib eye chop - Kansas City strip I definitely enjoyed all the sides. I really liked the KFC. The cauliflower had a nice crisp shell on the outside and had delicious sauce well integrated. The steaks were cooked perfectly to order and were very very tasty. As a finishing touch, they gave us some cotton candy as "light "dessert. Very much appreciated. this place is a very good steakhouse and definitely an option to have that special night out. I enjoyed my meal a lot. In terms of parking, I came here on a weeknight so it was past metering time. I found street parking pretty close by for free. read more

We celebrated a group birthday dinner on Valentine's Day, and everywhere we looked there were cozy tables for 2 -- I think we were the only big party! Since Pasadena is a bit of a drive for us, we booked a later reservation (8:00pm) and luckily found street parking. It's free after 6 p.m., except on Saturdays and Sundays. They offer 90-minute validation for the underground lot so I don't think parking would be an issue. The restaurant is in a lovely space right next to CPK. The dining area is spacious, with multiple rooms that make it feel open but not overwhelming. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and seated quickly. As soon as we sat down, the staff offered us a complimentary bread basket with butter -- of course we said yes. The assortment included milk bread, squid ink bread, and a garlic variety (I can't quite remember the last one). All were served warm and paired perfectly with the butter. The portions were generous and most dishes were delicious. My husband ordered the 22oz T-bone medium rare, but it came out closer to a medium. He also expected it to be more tender, but it was unfortunately a bit tough. The other meat dishes, however, were cooked as requested and full of flavor. Although they offered a Valentine's set menu, we chose to order à la carte. The three of us girls shared several dishes while the two guys ordered their own entrées. With all the sides we added, there was more than enough food for everyone to leave satisfied. Here's what we tried: -Beet Salad: The goat cheese complemented the beets nicely, though there wasn't much cheese on the plate. The beets were well prepared. -Grilled Octopus: Tender and nicely cooked, I really liked the almond garlic crumble. -Mushroom Medley: A hint of citrus really enhanced the mushrooms -- surprisingly one of my favorite sides. -Brussels Sprouts: Crispy and delicious. -Korean Fried Cauliflower: I always feel like Korean Cauliflower is always a bit too heavy on the red chili paste no matter where I get it. It might just be me though because my friends enjoyed it. -Mashed Potatoes -Fried Rice: Sesame-heavy and made with crispy rice. We enjoyed it. -Filet Mignon: Cooked as ordered. -T-bone: Overcooked and not as tender as hoped. Our server did check up on us after we received our meal to see if everything was cooked well but at this time, my husband had not gotten too far into this T-bone. He was disappointed. -Australian Rib Eye: We originally considered the Rib Eye Chop, but when the server heard the three of us were sharing, he recommended this instead (there was a $70+ price difference though). It was well cooked, flavorful, and quite large--we had plenty left over. -Candlelit Caramel Apple: Even though we were stuffed, we enjoyed this dessert. We only ordered one to sing happy birthday to my friend, but the server kindly surprised us with a cheesecake topped with a candle as well. At the end of the meal, we were also treated to house-made cotton candy...made by our server! I'm not usually a fan of cotton candy, but this one was quite tasty. -Caramel Latte: Sweet but not TOO sweet. -"Fatally Yours" Cocktail: Recommended by our server. Tasty but definitely on the sweeter side. -"Dual Citizenship" Cocktail: My friend loved it. I'm not a big fan of mezcal since it's a bit too smoky for me. -Espresso Martini: Well made and nicely balanced. Overall, the service was excellent, the food was plentiful and delicious, and the atmosphere was pleasant without being too loud. My pictures are kind of blurry but it was on the darker side in the restaurant. Oh well! I tried! read more

We took a chance in choosing Alexander's Steakhouse in Pasadena to host my wife's Christmas party. Our reserved room was cozy and comfortable. The staff were amazing! The servers were great in making sure your cocktail glasses were never empty and appetizers were being offered to everyone as we socialized before dinner. Dinner service was quickly brought to tables and the Anchovy Cesar salad was perfect to start. I ordered the 16 oz Ribeye steak that was cooked med rare, with a nice crust and fatty seasoned balance. The sides of mashed potato and broccoli complimented the steak as well. Dessert was cheesecake with a fruit sauce puree that finished our meal in a satisfying way. We will be coming back again! read more

DO NOT ORDER THE RIBEYE! Husband and I finally got a kid-free night so we chose our favorite fancy steakhouse to celebrate a romantic solo date and also Valentine's Day. It started amazing...we ordered champagne, oysters, caviar service (baerii delicious!), fig arugula salad (brulee figs FTW!), bone marrow w/ toast, the bread basket... all incredible! Ordered some cocktails, wine and a whiskey flight and I really liked the Slyer's whiskey from Germany! BUT the second part of our dinner was a huge letdown. My husband told out server he wanted his ribeye charred and cooked medium rare, our waiter (who was great btw) confirmed he will get the nicest crust on the outside but when it arrived it was SAD. First of all it was a very THIN cut, fatty and had a boiled look to it. Check my photo. Our server agreed it was not what he asked for and took it back but when it came back it still didn't have the crust we saw on the other steaks and now it was overcooked- so he just ate it. Mushroom medley was a bit sour from too much lemon and the fried rice had too much fish sauce after taste. I ordered lobster as my entree and for $65 I thought it would've been a bigger tail. Flavors were delicious but due to the steak situation my lobster got cold as I wanted to eat with my husband. So our much anticipated dinner date was a disappointment. Alexander's is hands down one of the top tier steakhouses around. We love it here. Their service is above par and they took the ribeye off the bill and gave us a complimentary dessert. But I had to write this honest review to warn others not to order the ribeye. Reading other yelp reviews it seems their ribeye has disappointed a few other patrons within the last few months. Maybe it's time to change the cut? read more

Love this place and have been coming for many years, from before we had kids to now dining here as a family and even bringing our dog once for the patio. The people here are what make it truly special. Over time we've met so many members of the team and built real friendships, which says everything about the level of hospitality. The way they take care of my kids makes every visit feel warm and personal, and being welcomed with champagne when we arrive is always a great start to the night. The steaks are consistently great and almost always cooked perfectly. You can taste the quality, especially knowing they age their own steaks in house. The cocktails are also a must and are just as memorable as the food. On warm nights the outdoor patio is one of the best places to sit and relax. It turns dinner into an experience rather than just a meal. We haven't been back in a few months not by choice, and it's definitely overdue. Looking forward to returning soon. read more

Dine LA Chef's Tasting with incredible wine pairing by their Som, Frederic. If I could give 6 stars out of 5, I would! Amazing food beautifully plated with incredible service. Looks as nice as it tastes. (And if you are nice to Frederic, he gives you 2 Oz pours of 4 amazing red wines on the house! Including a phenomenal 2007 Luce Della Vite Super Tuscan Sangiovese-Merlot blend!) read more

It was our very first time dining at Alexander's Steakhouse and it was such a treat! We celebrated Valentine's Day here and everything was spectacular. Our server, Nick, was great and made our experience so lovely.  There are multiple parking structures near the restaurant. Don't forget to bring your parking ticket so they can validate it for free parking! We checked in and were seated immediately. We've had horrible experiences in the past on Valentine's Day with restaurants overbooking, causing us to be sat much after our reservation time - this was not the case at all. Service was on point and we did not feel rushed.  We ordered the House Bread, Porterhouse Steak with Chimichurri Sauce, Mushroom Medley, and Lobster Mac & Cheese (special for Valentine's Day and is not regularly on the menu). They also brought out their Korean Fried Cauliflower, on the house. EVERYTHING was divine. My favorite side was the Mushroom Medley! Unfortunately, we did not have room for dessert but they brought out complimentary Cotton Candy!  Alexander's Steakhouse will definitely stay on our list for us to check out again. Thanks again to Nick and the Alexander Steakhouse Team! read more
