Came for dinner and left feeling satisfied. We started with some glasses of Prosecco which took a while to arrive but the waiter apologized and said the bar was backed up. For the entree, I got the Brasserie Chicken, without capers and switched the side of broccoli for extra mashed potatoes. The chicken was good, but could have used a little more of the lemon sauce. The bites with the lemon sauce were delicious though. It comes with small tomato chunks on top which added a little extra juice. The mashed potatoes were creamy and had just the right amount of flavor. The portion was substantial and I took the remainder home in a to go box. The wait staff was very friendly, and although my water glass did sit empty a few times, it was never difficult to flag someone down for a quick refill. There are lots of booths, tables, and also some bar seating. We did make a reservation for this and it was moderately busy on a Saturday night. There's a large parking lot so spots are ample.

Chicken tenders were tasty. Burger was juicy. Ambiance 10/10. Fries were crispy and hot

Maui Ribeye with smashed potatoes
Lisa L.

Food! Service! Vibe! We had such a great time! We made a reservation for Friday night 6:45 PM. When we arrived, the restaurant was already very busy. There were people around the bar and it looked like all the tables were full inside and out enjoying the evening. Our server was extremely attentive, cheerful, and made sure we were well taken care of. (Wendy) We ordered the filet with smashed potatoes and the Maui ribeye with broccoli. The food was fantastic. My husband's filet was perfectly woodfired and seasoned with a nice salt crust, and perfectly cooked to medium rare. When I say perfectly, I mean perfectly. I'm not sure who their meat distributor is, but it was an excellent cut of meat or we just hit them on a great night. The Maui ribeye was also fantastic. It has more of a sweet marinade flavor, which I loved. We would definitely return for both of those entrées again. Both of our entrées came with smashed potatoes. Neither of us could finish our meal and we did not order an appetizer before. We are looking forward to going through this menu and returning to enjoy all the J Alexander's has to offer. Thanks for a great first experience!

Mexico City Spinach Con Queso
Jenelle S.

The food here was amazing. My steak was a high quality cut that was perfectly cooked. They had a Cajun seafood pasta that everyone at the table shared and enjoyed. My daughter got the Mac and cheese that she got last time and enjoyed it just as much this time. The spinach con queso and chips was so good we ended up ordering a second round! The staff was attentive and friendly and the establishment was clean and well taken care of. My only "complaint" was that the food was so good we forgot to grab pictures until most of the food was already gone! We will definitely be coming back here next month when we are back in the area.

Steak and Chips
Ellen S.

First...Ana (Server) was great! Food... 1. Sea bass was a little on the dry side. It came with couscous and corn as side dish. The corn was like a Mexican style dish. It did not pair well with the Sea bass! 2. Ribs- they were glazed with a sweet sauce. Very tender, but the sauce was too sweet. Sides: cold slaw and loaded back potato- not bad. 3. Steak and Chips- we asked for Med Well- it came to table Well. Steak Sauce(A1) had a very strong vinegar taste! 4. Chicken Finger Appetizer- no complaints 5. Shrimp Appetizer- no complaints We did not partake in any adult beverages because we had a long drive home.

chicken tenders and fries

Honestly, this is never a bad idea for lunch. We stop in here from time to time if we know we're going to Perimeter Mall, which is just across the street. We are always able to be seated immediately which is nice! Normally it's just me and hubby but we had the two tiny ones in tow this day. Their food came out fast and first (a plus!) and they ate it with no trouble. Having them there also means I spent an inordinate amount of time accompanying someone to the bathroom. Luckily the restroom was spacious and clean. Our food was good as usual. The biggest surprise for me was how tasty the cheesesteak was. Visually, it just looks okay (see pic for evidence) but it was flavorful and delicious!! The STAR of the meal isn't even pictured but it was the carrot cake, which was served warm. The cake was so good that my husband said whenever we're at the mall we should just go pick up some carrot cake from J. Alexander. He's not wrong. The cake was extremely moist, the icing was creamy, and it wasn't overly sweet. Hands down, it's the best carrot cake I've ever had. If you've read this far, you should order it!!

J. Alexander's has become one of our favorite restaurants in the Dunwoody area. The food and service are both consistently good, and for a reasonable price compared to other similar restaurants. I especially like the ribs, and my wife is a big fan of the trout. The french fries are thin and crispy. The coleslaw is one of the best I've had in a restaurant. Highly recommended.

My bride really liked her glass of Sauv Blanc. The glass is a nice size and the pour was really generous. We enjoyed the Fried Calamari app. My bride ordered Fish & Chips and I ordered the Lobster Roll. All the food was excellent. Great fries, really great Cole Slaw. Drinks and food arrived promptly and everything was at the proper temperature. Every staff person we met was cheerful and helpful with Deenie our server best in class. This was my second-ever Lobster Roll and it was the second-best after a Cousins Food Truck. The B's portion seem significantly smaller and, at $35, more expensive. In general, Big B's pricing is what lost them a star in my review. We will definitely return when we earn another $120...

3.5 but I'll round up to 4. Friends decided to do birthday…read moredinner here and it was the first time for all of us! First impressions - it was really busy on a Tuesday night, must be good! Really loud though, so you'll need to project your voice across the table lol. Our server was really friendly and explained all the menu items well. For apps we got the grilled oysters & lobster bites. Both were delicious and flavorful - wish the portions were larger haha. I usually don't like oysters but these were really good. I ended up getting the grouper grilled with lobster risotto & truffle fries. My husband got the scallops with lobster risotto and brussel sprouts (we shared). The risotto was the winner! It had a great texture, flavor, and chunks of lobster in it. The fish was nicely grilled. Wished the scallops were larger. Server said it would be about 5-8 scallops and we got 4...in addition they gave us the wrong sauce (he ordered cajun and got lemon). The kitchen also messed up my order as well with forgetting the truffle fries & giving me a large portion of risotto instead. They did bring it to me after I asked. Server was really busy and tended forget the things we asked for. He forgot our friend's drink a few times. Since it was busy, it was hard to get his attention right away. We did have to wait a long time for our food - first for the apps then between the apps and dinner, about 40 minutes. For dessert we had the creme brulee & peach cobbler cheesecake. They gave us some small glasses of wine to toast on the house (as well as the creme brulee). The creme brulee was pretty good though the sugary top could have been crispier. The cheesecake was just OK. Lots of peach preserves on a regular NY style cheesecake. Wouldn't get it again. Overall food is good but wait times and the forgetfullness were disappointing.

Took a beautiful lady out to have dinner together for our first time…read more I had not been to either the restaurant before nor had anyone recommended dining here. Requested a quiet area to eat and got it. Wesley was our waiter and he was perfect. He knew the menu upside down, he paced the meal appropriately and Wesley took all of my non-verbal cues to let me shape the whole experience with her. A great evening to say nothing more.

Very good local North Italian restaurant, tucked into a corner of a strip mall in Sandy Springs,…read morejust off Roswell Road. The restaurant dining area is huge, and they have several private rooms/areas available too. It's hopping on a Sunday evening, and you'll be hit by the permeating scent of garlic bread as soon as you enter. The dining room isn't particularly cosy, and it is quite loud. We were seated and welcomed very quickly, but our server seemed to be having a bit of a confused day because he introduced himself twice in the first 10 minutes, forgot an order and had to come back and check it, then forgot to program our apps to arrive at the same time. He wasn't good with non-US American customer accents. He brought me the wrong martini and 3 of us had to keep repeating ourselves. However the food is the redeeming feature; the garlic focaccia was a hit, and very large for the low price. The caprese is less generous but tasty. The duck and sage ravioli-like pasta dish was absolutely delicious. The chicken Parmesan is easily enough for 2-3 people to split (with added sides). Overall, super little local restaurant which I'll definitely return to.

From the moment we walked in, the ambience, attention to detail, and professionalism of the staff immediately let me know this was going to be a special evening. The atmosphere is elegant, upscale, and sophisticated without feeling stuffy, and the overall vibe is perfect for a date night, celebration, or simply treating yourself to a great dinner. Now let's talk about the FOOD! The bone-in ribeye was phenomenal. Beautifully prepared, incredibly flavorful, tender, and cooked exactly the way I wanted it. Definitely one of those steaks that makes you slow down and appreciate every bite. The crab fried rice was another standout. Flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and packed with crab. It wasn't just a side dish sitting next to the steak, it could easily hold its own as part of the meal. And the lump crab cakes? Absolutely delicious. Heavy on the crab, light on the filler, with that perfect golden finish. If you're a crab cake person, do yourself a favor and order them. What really took the experience to another level, though, was the service. Everyone was attentive, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on making sure we had a great experience. There was never that feeling of being forgotten or having to chase someone down. The staff stayed one step ahead without hovering, which is exactly what excellent service should look like. Eddie V's understands that fine dining isn't just about what's on the plate. It's the entire experience. The food, ambience, presentation, hospitality, and attention to detail all came together beautifully. 5 stars without hesitation. The bone-in ribeye, crab fried rice, and lump crab cakes alone are worth coming back for. Add the atmosphere and top-tier service, and Eddie V's has officially earned a spot on my list of favorite upscale dining experiences in the Atlanta area.
