Delicious ribs and Mac and cheese
Marie Ragy R.

Came here for dinner. This place is very popular. It is a large restaurant with a nice bar in the middle. We were a party of 4. I highly suggest you make reservations like we did because I can see the wait being long for walk ins. We ordered the smoked salmon dip and fried shrimp for appetizers. They were both good. They do give you ample amount to share. For entrees we ordered the burger, which is always delicious. The ribs with mac and cheese and green beans, and the kebabs. The ribs are really good. Not too saucy and very tender. The Mac and cheese is good too. Creamy and delicious. I would definitely recommend this and the burger. The kebabs were okay. For drinks, you can't go wrong with ordering one of their martinis. Strong and tasty. For dessert we had the bread pudding. I would come here for a night out with friends or happy hour.

Haven't been here in a long time, but the food still hits! I always order Alex's Salad with fried chicken and it's just as delicious as I remember. Season is definitely here so unless you arrive early, be prepared to wait or fight for a seat. The service at the bar was a bit lacking (felt like they were giving more attention to the regulars) but nothing that ruined the experience. Overall still a great spot and worth the visit!

Grilled spare ribs

Our reservation for 6:15 was honored but the hostess seated us next to kitchen and bathroom, so we were politely moved. Sherry B our server was very efficient but did not smile or converse. The article was small but our other entrees were exceptional. The wine pour was minimal but the ribs were huge and juicy and delicious. The tai salad was fresh and tossed perfectly. The temperature in the restaurant was freezing and we were shivering. Besides minor details, we had a very nice dinner. SUPPORT LOCAL

THAI KAI SALAD
Julia M.

The food was great, the service was a big disappointment. Our waiter was not friendly and he didn't make an attempt to refill our glasses. We ordered dressings on the side for our salads, which we had to ask twice for and we waited about 5 minutes for them to arrive after our food came out. We also asked for wet hand towels after our appetizer. The guy that brought them over brought dry napkins and then we finally received wet, cold, towels 15 minutes later. We also ordered coleslaw, which didn't come out with our food, and we had to ask our waiter for it. It finally came out about 15 minutes into our meal. We ordered three salads, an artichoke and coleslaw. The food was delicious and I'll be back, but for a restaurant of this stature, I expect service to be excellent.

BARBEQUE BABY BACK RIBS
Yvette S.

We dined at J. Alexander's to enjoy a holiday lunch. We made a reservation and were seated immediately. We were greeted by Amiyah our server who was very friendly and attentive. She provided honest feedback about several dishes on the menu. We decided on the Steak and Fries, Babyback ribs and Ahi Tuna salad. Everything was delicious and portions were large enough to take leftovers home. One of the highlights to our experience was our server Amiyah. Her attentiveness, personality and engaging conversation is rare. We have dined at several restaurants nearby for lunch which have provided disappointing service. However, we all agreed we would return and request Amiyah as our server. Thank you Amiyah for making our holiday lunch even more special!

We had an experience here for my son's birthday! Amaiyah was our waitress and she was excellent. We ordered prime rib, NY strip steak... started off with beefsteak tomatoes and fire grilled artichokes ! All excellent. It was leisurely and pleasant and very relaxing! Creme brûlée for the birthday boy and he loved it. I just say it was such a pleasurable evening- ty'

Last month I met my friend for dinner. We were sat quickly and sat in j a comfortable booth. I like how J Alexander's has a varied menu. I usually eat at the one in Plantation. This location has an identical menu. I ordered a house salad and filet mignon with loaded baked potato. My salad was tasty. It was very fresh. The steak was cooked just how I liked it, medium. The loaded baked potato had a good flavor and actually was loaded. That was nice to see because too often restaurants skimp on the toppings Our server could have been more attentive. I never even got a soda refill because he did not come around very often. Other than that, it was a great meal.

Pear martini
Stephanie B.

Wow that pear martini about knocked me off my chair! :) good service both at the bar and in the dining room. The prime rib is always good same for the carrot cake. My Mac and cheese was a little on the dry overcooked side this visit but that was a first. Highly recommend J Alexander's and our avocado bomb was delicious!

Avocado Bomb
Mitch R.

Easy 4. Good Friendly service with reservations got seated almost immediately. Ordered avocado bomb, grilled chicken salad and crème Brûlée Avocado was good but not amazing. Crème brûlée was done just right with decent crisp on top. Chicken salad was the best. Large salad. Perfect amount of chicken and dressing. Good flavor

Chicken Salad
Niki V.

Delicious, as always! The service was impeccable. Ginger was delightful. It was a beautiful day, so we sat outside and it was wonderful.

French dip
Emma B.

Delicious lunch here at J. Alexander's! Will definitely be returning. The French fries are shoe string, so thing and crispy! Lovely. The french dip is flavorful and wonderful, would recommend getting this! Queso was yummy and so were the grilled artichokes! Service was wonderful!

This is my plate with 1/2 cheeseburger, fries and a small portion of the salad (I took more later)

Are dogs allowed out in the patio?

No.

I had dinner there several times your beef can be tough and tasteless but I have an answer for you. Have you ever tried organic beef from New Zealand TURNER beef I can bring you sample and cook for you.?

This isn't a question!

Does the Boca Raton restaurant have outside seating?

Yes!

Is it my imagination or have some the portions been downsized? French dip has half the amount of prime rib than previous visits.

Didn't notice any downsizing, been here often for a long time. It all depends on the time and who is doing the quality control at the kitchen counter. Some are cheaper then others. I haven't had a bad experience or portion size problem here. Hope… Read more

Although it has a beautiful menu of wines and spirits, we stuck to their filtered water, and asked KC for any recommendations for lunch. He was very engaging, a wonderful communicator, and we made our selections which started with the bacon wrapped dates (YUM). Prior to my order, I mentioned a dietary restriction and KC promptly went to the kitchen to make an inquiry. I ordered the trout with lentil ragout, and my husband ordered a margarita pizza. The atmosphere was very peaceful, with unintrusive music, and we really did enjoy getting to know KC as he made sure that we were satisfied with every plate. This restaurant is upscale, yet with value pricing. Altogether, my husband and I encourage you to enjoy a lovely meal, and make sure to ask for KC! You won't be disappointed!

We stopped in a few days ago for dinner. Our expectations were pretty high considering how great…read moreour last meal was. We were seated promptly and the staff was very friendly. Also loved the atmosphere once again, it's just a very nice, open place to enjoy a meal and have a drink. We got a bunch of appetizers to start. The house made Ricotta with cracked pepper and olive oil was very delicious. I also loved the crispy zucchini slices, which were topped with peppadew peppers and a chili vinaigrette. Outstanding stuff. The seared ahi tuna was next level. The fish was fresh and beautifully seated and the mix of cucumber, aji amarillo, pineapple, cilantro and wasabi cream was sensational. One of the best dishes they make at Sixty Vines. The absolute best of the bunch was the truffle fries! They were amazing. They are basically crispy layered potatoes, almost like stacks of filo dough, fried and topped with pecorino, chives and lemon truffle cream. They were so good we ordered a second one! Considering how wonderful everything was to this point, we were expecting nothing but great things for the next course. However they completely dropped the ball and basically ruined our meal with lackluster entrees. Our party ordered the steak fries with chimichurri sauce, the double cabrenet burger, and several filet mignons. The amount of time it took to get the food was unreasonable. Once the appetizers were finished we had to wait somewhere around 20 to 25 minutes to get our mains, and the place was not that busy. I assume that the waitress just forgot or was busy with something else. As for the food, the quality of the steaks was not good all around. Everybody who got the filet mignon commented that the texture was chalky and weird. They were also all overcooked. And oddly, they decided to slice the steak before serving it, so it was very dry. Why would you pre slice a steak, all that's going to do is let the juices seep out and make the temperature drop. I honestly don't get it. The steak that came with the steak fries, I think it was a skirt steak, was also not the best cut. It was super fatty and a little chewy. The fries were good though but the meat was terrible. Finally the burger was completely overdone despite the person ordering it medium rare. Overall, not the best ending to a meal that started with such amazing dishes. Really striking contrast. And actually it made me think that I probably will not go back to Sixty Vines anytime soon. For a $350 meal they have to be doing a lot better. Dried out, overcooked steaks and burgers isn't going to cut it.

Went to Max's Grille in Mizner Park this afternoon for a family birthday brunch…read more They have amazing salads, and appetizers, and the entre I ordered was their Salmon Burger from the specials menu. I switched out the side of fries for salad and I ended up eating the sandwich without the buns. That's just me, but overall it was really good. Alyssa our waitress was AMAZING! She was so on top of serving us our drinks, getting the food out early, giving us new cutlery. I can't thank her enough. Overall they have great ambiance, great food, and great service. I would come here again.

Stopped by Max's for lunch. As it's been around for a long time with a location smack in the heart…read moreof Mizner Park. So,I figured it would be top notch, but it was not. It was OK, but just your ordinary everyday restaurant with ordinary everyday food. One thing I really liked is that the valet station is located right next to the restaurant. So you can leave your car with the valet and merely walk a matter of feet to their sidewalk patio dinning area. We got a good seat on the outdoor patio with a perfect view of the park. I immediately began reviewing the menu which was rather simple as there wasn't isn't much to it. There's grilled salmon, grilled swordfish, bacon meatloaf, a New York strip and others but nothing unique, unusual or what one might term gourmet. I had the Char Grilled Trout, which was supposed to come with capers and a remoulade sauce, but didn't. The sauce,instead, was merely mayonnaise; I think Hellmann's, for Lord's sake. LOL My partner had a Mahi sandwich which again was good but nothing special.

Food was delish! Tried the Brussels sprouts for the first time as the appetizer and it was light,…read moretangy, and perfect! Great for just 2 people. Cobb salad was 15/10. Very good portion too. The bowl looks bigger than it actually is- it's not that deep just a wide bowl. The ahi tuna bowl was soooo good. Not too spicy just brought the perfect kick and heat. The new seasonal slushee drink was soooooo good. It makes me want to go to a tropical island and drink 6 of them lol. Really nice vibe there. At the end of our meal the server did get a little slow on service but its fine she was still very nice.

Quick update on Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar. I just got off the phone with the GM, James. Good…read moreconversation, and he's a genuinely solid guy. We walked through the review, and one thing became clear pretty quickly. The feta wasn't a mistake. It's part of how they build the dish. It's actually tied into their queso blanco and shows up as part of the garnish. The issue is that it's not listed anywhere in the menu description, and I made sure to point that out. To his credit, he said he'd take that back to the team. As for the rest of it, what I reviewed is what they're serving. No changes planned right now. If they ever DO make any changes, I'll be happy to re-review. He did offer a gift card, which I appreciated, but Florida Nacho Man doesn't take comps. The review stands.
