    My wife and I used to go to the Scottsdale location that closed, way back in the day. We were thrilled to see J Alexander's back in Arizona and even though it isn't close to us, we drove down in hopes that the new location is as good as we remembered. It is! The service was fantastic and the food is delicious.

    Bread pudding special.

    A great experience. The atmosphere here was very calming and peaceful with jazz music playing in the background. I was greeted and seated immediately upon entering. The dining area was very clean and almost like a showroom. Gabrielle my waitress was very nice. She explained the menu and suggested some of her favorite appetizers one being the Hong Kong Shrimp. I ordered those and they wee so good. They were still crunchy even with the sauce on them. The sauce was perfectly balanced with sweet and spicy. The shrimp were cooked just right with a firm bite. I love the fresh bed of lettuce underneath them too. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich. It was so good and hot in temperature. There was a spicy kick that was perfect since it didn't overpower the rest of the flavors. The bun was toasted and fluffy. I didn't care for the shoestring fries because they were more like the Jay's brand Shoestring chips. They were very crunchy which were more like overcooked. The bread pudding for dessert was tasty. I especially loved the scoop of vanilla ice cream that tasted homemade..

    Five stars for James!!! The best service I've ever experienced, I hope you keep him forever. I ordered the encrusted trout and it's delicious (ask for more of the sauce). Crispy rice came with a lot definitely worth it and delicious. Maui steak tasted like Kalbi I'll need to order that next. First time and won't be my last.

    Sooo awkward when they opened the door for me because I wasn't expecting it. I had easter dinner here with my family (I'm the child). the poke bowl was so massive I made dinner out of it. The waitstaff is excellent!

    So grateful for one of my favorite restaurants from the South! My Maui Steak as just as good as I remember. I sat at the bar for sushi, cocktails, and a great steak! The complimentary popcorn given is spicy and flavorful. The sushi was fresh and appetizing. And my steak definitely set the bar high! The vibes here, the customer service, and the staff were absolutely perfect!

    Went to J. Alexander's and loved it! The restaurant has a nice upscale vibe that feels like you're dining in Scottsdale. The bartenders were super friendly, the drinks were delicious and my favorite was the pear martini. The sushi was also really good. Bonus that it's close to home because we'll definitely be back!

    Steak and Fries  A little chewy but very flavorful
    Melissa T.

    The food was cooked to order and flavorful. The cuts of meat were delicious and the mashed potatoes were amazing. We tried to make a reservation for 3 but they only had 8:45p available, when we changed it to two, 8:00pm was available but we were sat at a 4 top, so not sure why we couldn't make the reservation for 3 at 8:00pm. There isn't a bread offered when you sit down and there isn't any ice in the water and very little ice in anything else.

    We popped in for late lunch for my birthday week in January-this being my last birthday meal for January. I had the crispy chicken salad with ranch on the side and an Ice tea. My friend ordered prime rib and it came out cooked to order. It's not something I'd order but I can see why folks like prime rib. My salad was fresh with a good amount of chicken. The food and service was nice and I'd probably return. We went earlier in day so it was quiet and relaxed.

    Amazing dinner spot! We got the french dip and chicken sandwich and the bread was fluffy while the meat was tender. The staff was friendly and attentive we also enjoyed the candle light ambiance. Will definitely be back.

    Food was delicious, potato serving was large. IMO a little less potatoes and add a green vegetable. Service was very good, wait staff was courteous and professional. Ambiance was nice. Dessert was delicious, wish they had creme brulee on the menu, the upscale feeling of the space called for it, the key lime pie was very good. We'd go back, happy hour is calling

    This was our first time here. I was a bit skeptical because it seemed a bit more "high end l than I was in the mood for this night. So to be transparent, I went in a bit uncertain and maybe a little guarded. That all melted away into a great overall experience. *Ambience: The ambience is excellent, it feels upscale yet relaxed and comfortable. It has an unmistakeable modern feel, very clean, open, not too loud but good energy, high ceilings and spacious. It was genuinely comforting that it's new and clean and modern and open feeling, but our booth felt private at the same time, with open sweeping, unobstructed views inside including the bar and kitchen with big windows letting in just enough light and a view of outside. *Service: the service was outstanding. Started with our waiter's assistant who greeted us promptly, introduced herself, and was friendly and attentive - a little awkward, like it's her first restaurant job, but she was well trained and had a great attitude. Our sever was awesome and I forgot his name. He was super genuine and attentive. The manager stopped over to check in and couldn't have been more genuine. Everyone was friendly, attentive and caring, it was great. *Food: We both ordered a mixed drink, she got the 21 Manhattan and I ordered the Doppelgänger. Both were surprisingly large, and were truly excellent, we were shocked with how good and big they were. They brought the remainder of the Manhattan from the shaker and it was almost another full drink. Drinks were a really nice surprise. For food we started by ordering a side of roasted Brussel Sprouts as an app - sides here are almost all ala carte. The Brussels weren't great initially, nice char but very bland. We asked for balsamic vinegar and they happily brought a bottle along with a bottle of olive oil, we added both and they were much better. My wife ordered the trout. I'm not a huge fish guy, but this was incredibly good! Excellent coating, moist, steamy, and flavorful, but not "fishy", fish and came with amazing rice and stellar coleslaw, seriously both sides were 5 stars. Her whole meal was excellent! I ordered the large cut of prime rib which came with amazing g mashed potatoes, it was very big, cooked exactly as ordered and tasted great. It had less marbling than I like, so less steak flavor in the middle, but was very soft and adding creamy horseradish gave it the extra little kick it needed. Pretty delicious. *Value: for 2 incredible bar drinks, an appetizer and 2 large and excellent meals, with tax and tip, we were out the door for around $150. I'm pretty fiscally responsible and even I felt like this meal and experience were definitely worth it. 100%. *Overall: great service, very comfortable upscale but easy and comfortable ambience, excellent food and drinks, at a strong value. I highly recommend J. Alexander's and I look forward to returning soon.

    Josh W.

    J. Alexander's on Ray Rd absolutely nailed it. We started with the fried calamari, and it was perfectly crispy with a light, flavorful coating that kept me coming back for more--exactly how calamari should be. The steak and fries were spot on: the steak cooked to perfection, crispy shoestring fries, and the béarnaise sauce was fantastic and really tied the whole dish together. Every bite felt indulgent in the best way. Add in the great ambiance and this place is a clear winner. Warm, polished, and ideal for a date night or special evening out. We'll definitely be back.
