Dined here this past weekend with a party of eight. In spite of having a reservation, they seamed ilprepared to accomodate. They didn't have ample seating for our party. We made do by combining a table with a booth. Had to locate an extra chair and fit it in. Table ended up being very crowded but we're family so we managed. Their pricing is not in line with food quality, atmosphere or overall experience. Food is marginal in taste and quality. Nothing special. I and my sister-in-law ordered the prime rib. The meat was spoiled. We told the waitress to take it back and explained why. She brought us two pieces cut from a different roast and it was ok, meaning it wasn't spoiled but it was cold and overall unimpressive. Hers was under-cooked and had to be sent back again. The waitress said the manager would be coming to our table but he never showed. My other sister-in-law and husband ordered chicken. He, the chicken fingers and she, the roasted chicken. We were informed that night, after they had returned to Indianapolis, that they both had intestinal distress. Might not have been the food but I have to wonder. I wouldn't complain if it was only an issue of value or food that didn't have good flavor but I cannot forgive any restaurant for serving tainted food, especially an upper scale eatery such as this. If they are going to charge first class prices and pass themselves off as a fine dining experience, they need to run the establishment as such. The spoiled meat should never have left the kitchen. There are mechanisms in place that all restaurants utilize to prevent this. Someone was not doing their job. read more

Went for a dinner with my 83-year-old mother, just to put up with a screaming 6-year-old girl two tables over. This went on for 10 minutes, and management did NOTHING. I finally told the kid to shut up. Her mother then came to our table and, WITHOUT A MASK, screamed at me and my mother for telling her kid to shut up. Again, management did NOTHING, so I guess now I have risked my mother's life by taking her to dinner at Redlands Grill. Dinner was ruined and the whole thing had no management by Redlands. Go at your own risk. It's ugly there. read more

The food was good, but the service sub par. We used Open Table to secure a table. We had to flag down someone walking by just to get our drinks. It took us an hour before we even got our salads which did not even come out at once. In the end, it took us 2 hours to be served everything. When I got home, I had an email from Open Table telling me basically that J. Alexander's reported me as a no show and that I need to be more considerate next time towards the restaurant. This affected my status with Open Table. Overall, the food was good but the service received killed it for me. read more

Excellent meal. Unfortunately my phone was acting up. I didn't get the photos I thought I took. My friend and I enjoyed everything...calamari app, shared salad...trout...crab cakes were meaty (minimal filler), Mac & cheese (shells with gruyere & buttered panko on top). The food was heavily salted but not disturbingly so. Though we were stuffed, we tried the warm, moist carrot cake (no raisins, thank God); extremely rich. Needless to say every plate was clean save for a few bites we just couldn't eat. Of course there was no remnant of the cake left. read more

I've eaten many meals at J Alexander's at Crosswoods (Redlands Grill) since they opened. It is our standard go-to restaurant for excellent food and exceptional service. My favorite salad is the GRILLED CHICKEN SALAD with Tortilla strips, Feta cheese with a white wine vinaigrette. I am a huge fan of their FILET MIGNON while my husband prefers the STEAK MAUI (a marinated ribeye). A friend of mine thinks their RATTLESNAKE pasta with Southwestern spices, peppers and chicken is the best. World's Very Best Chocolate Cake is delish! read more

We offer take out. Unless we're busy. Then you are out of luck. My husband and I have two kids under two. We look forward to getting take out because that's about all we can do with two babies. I've had take out before from here so I didn't think it would be a problem today, so I was really truly looking forward to a nice take out meal after we got the kiddos down and was beyond disappointed when I was told that if I want take out I was welcome to come in, stand at the bar and wait an hour. read more

I've had several good meals at J. Alexander's, and was not disappointed over the weekend when we went for dinner. I had the mixed grill (filet kabobs) and the veggies were as delicious as the steak! I added a side salad and it was a big portion with a tasty white wine vinaigrette. Boyfriend had the salmon and he was also very pleased. The ambiance is great for date night, and the service was friendly and professional. I look forward to my next meal here! read more

The wife and I recently stopped in for a quick bite. The house salad is excellent all the ingredients were very fresh. We ordered the Flatbread fennel seed pizza but they ran out. The manager apologized and brought us prime rib sandwiches free. This was shocking.... not only did he not need to apologize but didn't need to comp us free food. The manager here went above and beyond my expectations. We have been going here for years and will continue to do so. Never had a bad experience with service or food. Oh and the prime rib sandwiches were excellent. read more

I love this place. It's only like a few dollars more expensive than Applebees but 10 times better. The prime rib is brilliant. Love it.

Fun atmosphere and really excellent food. Wait staff was efficient and friendly, and the food came out quickly and was piping hot. Good variety of items on the menu as well. read more

Came here with a group of coworkers (two tables) for dinner. Received excellent, knowledgable and friendly service and the steak was one of the best I have ever had. Will definitely return. read more

Family favorite for years! The prime rib is fabulous! Great service and atmosphere! The service is always top notch!

Went here on Mother's Day. It wasn't busy at first for brunch but it did fill up quickly. We were seated quickly and the server was prompt. We all could sense that the server did not want to be there. I can't really explain it other than the way server took our order - like we were a bother to even be there. Our drink order was messed up - I ordered an iced tea but was given water. No, I didn't point it out to the server because I was subconsciously hoping they would realize their mistake. The food was delicious and the other wait staff that brought out the meals were fabulous. I am giving Redlands four stars because of the taste and presentation of the meal and the friendliness of the other staff. Our server was given a less than generous tip. read more

We love J Alexander's and go there for all of our special dates. Having said that, my husband made a reservation for my birthday and we were looking forward to a quiet dinner. Unfortunately, we were seated in the noisy bar. read more

Always loved J ALEXANDERS .... So far REDLANDS is almost as good . Although myself and other patrons are sad to see they noon her offer Tiger Cilantro Cajun Shrimp entree ..... I hope they bring it back !! ( hint hint Redlands :) ...... Great atmosphere , great service . We always call ahead because they can get busy on prime nights . A great place for any special event or just a nice dinner . But bring back the Tiger Cilantro Shrimp entree and I will be even happier :) read more

Had the house salad minue tomatoes and add salmon. It was so delicious!! My lunchmate had the veggie burger with fries and she loved it! I'm never diappointed at J Alexander!! read more

Anywhere we drove the rest of the weekend, we kept pointing to restaurants that would have been better (including BW3). The food was overpriced for what you got, and half of our table got meals that didn't even look like that the menu was trying to describe. Our waitress was new and was trying to learn, but her inexperience probably wasn't a good fit for a Saturday night rush. She wasn't caught up on the menu or pricing. The cherry on top was being upcharged $1.50 to have my drink served on the rocks. read more

I've stopped in here twice when in Columbus on business. The deviled eggs were amazing. I had the prime rib both times. The first time was delicious. The second time both the meat and au jus were too salty. Overall, I like this place and will try it again. read more

Came in looking for a steak dinner. All 4 of us ordered beef. 2 filets and 2 strips. They were excellent!! Prepared to perfection! Only 4 of 5 stars because of the over-whipped mashed potatoes and the Mac and cheese. The mac had a strong onion taste in the crunchy top. Would go back for the steak! My martini was served with a "side car" and I have never seen that! (It's the extra from the shaker that didn't fit in your martini glass!) read more

Redlands Grill Rocks! I was in Columbus on business from NJ. Everyone in our party raved about their meals. The staff and management could not have been more accomodating and professional. Top shelf all around! read more

Went for dinner on November 14 based on all the positive reviews. First, we had excellent service from an attentive waitress. After that, it was all downhill. I ordered the Steak Rolls, described on the menu as "with Chimichurri sauce and spicy Ranch dressing." The rolls were huge and filled with what appeared to be some sort of unappealing creamed meat filling. The Chimichurri sauce consisted of a small green smear on the plate and the Ranch dressing was not spicy. I didn't eat it and the waitress took it off my bill without my asking. I ordered the shrimp tacos which claimed to feature a Thai sauce. It wasn't particularly spicy nor did I detect much in the way of traditional Thai flavors. Very disappointed. read more

This is one of my favorites. It has lost its luster a bit over the years but still a solid option. Get the prime rib and thank me later.

This place is the best dining experience in town! Awesome staff, incredible food! Nouf, our server, was amazing, as usual.

Very disappointing. Salmon dip was mostly boiled eggs, mayo and pickle. "Aged" strip steak was tough and chewy. The coating on the fried shrimp was heavy and still raw next to the overcooked shrimp that still had its entrails intact. Now that should be punishible because the shrimp had endless possibilties, but there it sat; over coated, over cooked, and with its guts. So sad they wasted such great food, well except for the steak, the steak didn't start out great. read more

my husband and i have been j, alexanders customers for many years. we stop every sunday after church for an omelet and eat dinner there as often as we can. the food is remarkable and servers are very good with honest suggestions for what we might like to order that evening. service is always very good and managers always walk around restaurant to greet diners.and to see if everything meets their high standards for food and service. last sunday we stopped for our usual omelet and were saddened to learn they were not available that day. andrea, the manager on "duty" stopped by to chat a bit (as she always does) and we told her "nicely " that it didn't feel like sunday as we didn't get our weekly omelet. she asked us to wait before we ordered - went to talk with kitchen help and within a few minutes she personally delivered our omelet to our table. we did not ask her to do this - it's the way she always treats guests and it's obvious that she takes pride in meeting the needs of all. if you happen to stop in on an evening when catelyn is the greeter and eva is tending the bar you will realize why we take our out-of-town visitors for dinner at j. alexanders and they have never been disappointed. try the prime rib, their fish of the day and their deviled eggs. you will become a j. alexanders fan for life. read more

The food is amazing. Service was incredible. The waitress made sure to greet us within a timely manner and checked up regularly to see if we needed anything. I'm not from the area and have been here for a week testing out net places to eat and this place is by far the best!! read more

I have been coming to restaurant for 10+ plus years and this was the worst service and food I have ever had. The waitress was polite but rather quick to leave before we could ask questions or for additional drinks. It seemed like she had somewhere else to be . I can forgive that, but the portions of foods have shrunk significantly. Ok I understand, price stays the same or higher less portions. I ordered the steak burger medium well, comes out less then medium. I informed Flash(our waitress) that the burger was undercooked , she had the burger cooked to temperature?!? I start to eat it and still undercooked. Ruined my meal!! When I expressed this to out waitress, all I received a pretty crappy sorry which was very obvious! It is embarrassing to host a party recommending such a place to eat! read more

Close to hotel and interested in good food more than good deal - but I found both! Excellent service from Kraig to boot! It was $20 bottles of wine night with take home corkage:) - yay! The Redlands salad with rotisserie chicken and yummy mashed potatoes hit the spot! Only here for 2 nights but I'm happy to return to same place tomorrow! read more

This restaurant was a pleasant surprise in an area we'd never been to before. The server, Sara, was knowledgeable and very helpful. We initially thought we'd go light on dinner but the smells from the grill were too inviting. We each opted for steak and baked potato and were not disappointed. Food was excellent; service phenomenal. Highly recommended. read more

Started with shared Deviled Egg app. Very tasty but overpriced. Best French Dip sandwich I've ever had, piled high with super tender & flavorful shaved prime rib. The accompanying au jus was not the overly salty bullion that many places use. My side was today's veggie of a variety of carrots sautéed in brown butter with shallots. Delicious and more than enough to share. Hubby had prime rib sandwich and said it was good enough that he didn't mind that he received it rare instead of medium. Our son liked his chicken parm. He ordered a side Caesar salad that was HUGE for just a side. We'll definitely eat there again. read more

Poor service from Angela/Angie. Steak was over done. They did not have Steak Rolls (appetizer). Martini was half a drink. We've eaten at J Alexander's Easton several times and always a great experience. read more

Delicious food, wonderful atmosphere, fantastic service. This is one of my all time favorite restaurants. This location exudes more of an upscale vibe, but I've arrived in jeans and a t-shirt without any worry. You can't go wrong with anything you order here. Steak rolls, Salads, Salmon Dip, Baby Back Ribs, Cheeseburger, Brunch Burger...I've had it all and been pleased with every meal. Make sure you top off your meal with an order of carrot cake or the "very best chocolate cake!" read more

Horrible experience!!! called in for a pick up order said it would be a 25 min wait , waited 30min just in case it would be a little longer went in to pick up my food , then the employee tells me that they never submitted my order and I would have to wait another 25 min , never ordering here again! , no accommodations was offered to make up for the error that was made, something so simple could've been fixed but this restaurant choose to provide a horrible customer experience... save your money and go to another restaurant that has more common sense read more

If you like a reasonably priced Martini, this is not the place to go. I ordered a Bombay Sapphire martini. I had not looked at the drink menu, so I do not know whether the price was listed there. But I was unpleasantly surprised when the check came, and I learned that the price was $14. Ridiculous. And completely out of line with the price charged at nearby restaurants, J Liu, for example read more

Second time I've been here and the bathrooms were filthy! Makes you wonder about the kitchen? Food was ok. I had the fish tacos. The flour tortilla on one was hard! All bad. Some improvements need to be made! read more

This was my first time to Redlands. Our server Brad was super nice, genuine, and efficient. The service was amazing and our steaks were so delicious. We got the deviled eggs appetizer, which were the best I've had! I got the prime rib and my friend had the NY Strip. I most likely will get the NY Strip next time, the seasoning was amazing. I'll definitely be back!! The atmosphere is really nice as well. read more

The service was good. The orzo rice had an excessive amount of salt and the food was not upto the standard that I have had at the other J Alexander locations elsewhere. We were a total party of eight and all of us felt the same way for the salt excessiveness issue. We relayed this information to our server Kristy who seemed nonchalant about the concern and asked us if we needed another order or side. I would have expected the manager to come and talk to us about the concern or take down the cost of the $30 entree pp since we really couldn't eat it. Nevertheless we did not want to make a big deal but would think twice before going to this location again. read more

I went to this restaurant last evening and had a wonderful meal with a friend. I had the veggie burger with the orzo and wild rice salad. My friend had the ahi tuna salad. We were too stuffed to have dessert! read more

So. Redlands Grill aka J Alexanders. A small sized upscale chain and a staple in Worthington area. It's consistently very good to excellent, and has been for the nearly 20 years we've been patrons. I've never had a bad meal here. Portions are generous. Service is always good. And recently they have added a list of featured wines for just a couple of dollars above retail. Of course we'll be back again soon. read more

Lunch today was wonderful! We had a fantastic waiter named Ken. Salmon was exceptional. House salad was not that great though.
