    CARROT CAKE
    Katie F.

    I have found my new favorite restaurant. Wow. Every single bite was enjoyable. The sauce on the brassiere chicken... I could have drank it

    Calamari
    Jenny A.

    I don't know how we have lived in the area for 10 years and this was our first trip to J Alexander's. First the service was awesome. Parker our waiter was friendly, helpful and made sure we felt special on our first visit. In addition every person who walked by assessed the table and took care of our needs (water, refills, clears plates etc). That teamwork made the experience even better. The restaurant itself was cozy and relaxing with a great ambiance. The food was excellent! Probably the best calamari I've ever had, steak cooked perfect and what a yummy espresso martini then to top it all off the carrot cake was to die for. We will definitely be back.

    They have Rattlesnake pasta on the menu for good now!!! Awesome!!!! Love it ! It's a delicious dish! And with toast! You won't be disappointed!

    CARROT CAKE

    I forgot how good j Alexander used to be.. well every-thing was amazing! The ribs were coming straight off the bone.. the slaw just right and who doesn't love show string fries!? The carrot cake was served warm!! Sooo good! Shot out to our server Tyler, he was amazing answering all of our questions and served us with smile!

    A real pleasant alternative to the top tier priced steak houses around here. The feel wood interior makes dining cost (even still used a real candle). Drinks are generous and meat cooked over wood fire is I think unique style in the area. Wait Staff are Friendly without being intrusive. Be sure to make reservations because even on Tuesday they are near full by 6pm (we went at 5 to get ahead of the dinner crowd).

    Absolutely a solid choice with a great diverse menu with steaks and sush. Great beer and contail menu and superior table service especially from Mary. A can't miss dining experience.

    1/2 French Dip and fries
    Rochelle V.

    My first time here. Visiting for a week in CO and my friend said they had good French dips so we went for lunch. Probably in the top 3 of all French dips I've ever had. They definitely do not skimp on the meat, and it's cooked perfectly...slightly rare just how it should be. The fries were also excellent. Thin and crispy. The photo you are seeing is half of the sandwich and half of the fries, very large portions! Service was friendly and quick, our waiter Brian was very attentive.

    From the moment you walk in you will wowed by the atmosphere and decor of the restaurant. Our party of 5 was served by Barney. He helped us select from the menu and was very helpful in our making some great choices for our Dinner. We selected the Steak Rolls, Steak Burgers, Roasted Chicken Salad and Shrimp Louie Salad. We paired that with a CLINE ZIN wine for an epic meal. For desert we ordered the Carrot Cake and Chocolate Bundt Cake and both were large enough to share with our entire family group and very delicious. The menu is vey diverse from steak to sushi and everything in between. You owe it to yourself to try J. Alexander's, you'll be glad you did.

    Veggie burger
    Kaitlin C.

    Service was absolutely exceptional and very attentive. The key lime pie was the star of the show (coming from someone that doesn't even like KLP). We had to take an extra piece home! The veggie burger was not for me... the housemade patty was very sweet and felt over fried/greasy. I like more veggie forward burgers so this might be a good swap for someone that usually eats meat though! There is a large parking lot out front.

    Steak Frits - yummy!

The atmosphere is fantastic--sophisticated yet incredibly welcoming--but the food and service are what truly set this place apart. Our server, Shannon, was absolute perfection. She was over the top with her kindness and went out of her way to make sure every accommodation was met. Service like hers is rare and made the night feel truly special. The Food: * The Steaks: We had the Filet Mignon (served over savory mushrooms) and the Bone-In Ribeye. Both were cooked to a flawless sear, incredibly tender, and topped with a rich compound butter that took them to the next level. * The Sides: You have to try the Jalapeño Creamed Corn. It's velvety, sweet, and has the perfect hint of heat. We also loved the fresh shrimp and balsamic-glazed avocado salad. * Dessert: We finished with the Strawberry Cheesecake on a chocolate crust. It was the perfect, decadent end to a beyond-delicious meal. Between the world-class steaks and the legendary hospitality from Shannon, Manning's is a 10/10. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

    My first time here, and I was very impressed! The food was great, but the service was next level!…read moreThe service is actually what pushes my rating from 4 stars to 5. If I could give a 4.5, I would, I think that's right on the money. The drinks were nice, the food was good, and the service was great! There were some very minor things that could use improvement in the food-- but I'm being VERY critical. The server was bragging about how nice and "not tough" the octopus is, so we made sure to get that for an appetizer. But it came plated a little sloppy, and I felt it to be pretty tough (not chewy), just tough. But the steaks were a highlight! We shared the filet flight. All three were very very good. One person at our table was vegan, and they catered to her very well. Her entree of a vegan risotto was actually the most beautiful plate on the table, and had some excellent flavors! The duck fat fries earn an honorable mention. They have some sugar on them, so they're sweet-- very interesting, but delicious. All in all, I had a great time, and the service pushed it over the edge. And the food was very well done, too. I'll be back here for dinner, annually, but back for happy hour more often. Thanks & Cheers! And see you next time!

There's always going to be that guy in shorts and berks. Gnocchi was THE BEST! Little puffy clouds of heaven. I've literally never had a better gnocchi. Brussels perfectly crispy. Ribeye so tender. Asparagus was large and yet had the same crunch with every bit. Potato Pave was a first and a recommendation from our server, did not disappoint! We shared the wedge salad and they chopped and put on separate plates before bringing it out, talk about service! I could have ordered this 10x over. Every ingredient just tastes so fresh. Not only was the food to die for, our server, Arthur, was 10/10! He was the sweetest and gave the best recommendations. Let us take our time and didn't rush us out the door which was really appreciated. Our reservation was for 7:30 and I didn't see valet outside so we ended up parking in the parking garage close by. The restaurant does not validate your parking ticket if you park in the garage. I'm not sure if it's complimentary valet.

    Absolutely Exceptional…read more Jack's on Pearl exceeded every expectation. As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated. Our meal, service, and overall experience were outstanding from start to finish. If you're looking for a special dinner, anniversary celebration, or simply one of the best meals you'll have in Colorado, Jack's on Pearl is absolutely worth the visit. We will definitely be back and will be recommending it to friends and family. Thank you to the entire team for making our 18th anniversary so memorable. -- Andrea & Sergio

This place is not for the bougie, as long as you can overlook the decor, I'd recommend giving it a try as a Denver long time staple! We always either get the Porterhouse or the New York, just really depend on appetite of the day. Always got their iced tea too, really refreshing with the steak. If you want a beer with your steam, you'd want to go to the lounge side. Great service on the lounge side. Feel free to add a jalapeño to your steak at no extra cost!

    Read good reviews, so stopped in to check it out…read more FOOD: We had read something about good cocktails, but it took a lot of digging (beyond the menus provided) to find anything about it. Wine list was a lot shorter than I sort of expected from a place called a "wine bar." The malbec I ordered a glass of was fine; my wife's rose champagne was very nice and dry. We tried a couple of apps to see if we wanted to order dinner. The polenta fries were dry. The Korean pork tidbits were tasty but just little chunks of pork in a bowl. Nothing drastically wrong with either, but not anything particularly inspiring, either. We decided to have dinner elsewhere. SERVICE: Friendly, but felt pushed to order something *right now*. The receipt came with QR code for payment through Toast. It wasn't clear if I should pay through that, or wait for her to take my card. (I used the QR code, and the waitperson then wandered over (to get my card, it seemed) and seemed surprised and very relieved I'd used the QR code, which saved them so much work. AMBIANCE: Nicely decorated place. They apparently do a number of events, and when we were there, a big party was going on in the front half of the dining room, which was fairly noisy (and the crowd of which spread across the entrance). NET-NET: Not a great experience -- not bad, strictly speaking, but there's a lot of other places I could have gone. I'd eat there again if a friend recommended meeting there, but given the many choices in downtown Englewood, I wouldn't pick it again on my own.

I know this is a chain with a well known menu, but our food was so fresh and hot. Not to mention how generous the portions were (and we've tried quite a few family meals from different places) the staff was so friendly, and generous with condiments and utensils and asked how everything looked. Even though it was take out, I have to say service was exceptional as well. When you do dine in, the atmosphere is always fun as well.

    Overall a decent experience…read more Texas Roadhouse has noticeably elevated their game to become a legitimate player in the steak scene. I remember a decade ago when you would walk through piles of peanut shells, surrounded by screaming kids, waiting in line just to pick out your cut, all for a merely okay steak. This time around, the steak was good, though nothing particularly special. Surprisingly, the fries were the highlight of the meal. Our server unfortunately forgot our drinks and, instead of simply owning up to the mistake, made an excuse about needing to change a keg, despite the fact that only one of us had actually ordered a beer. Given the atmosphere, I would much rather go to LongHorn Steakhouse for a comparable steak paired with a significantly better vibe.

    I went to Tavernetta for my birthday and made a reservation a week in advance. Tbh reserving felt…read moresuper stressful but I guess that kind of the culture nowadays with the rules, credit card down, and showing up on time with a 10min leeway. However, we ended up showing up an hour before our reservation hoping to just get seated and we got in right away. Cassey was our incredible waiter and he made the night very memorable. After learning it was our first time there, he very patiently walked us through the menu and how the restaurant generally worked with serving sizes. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. The ambience was great and cozy. We sat on the patio and it was mildly windy but it still felt nice being kept away in a corner of downtown. Starting with the appetizers, you HAVE TO get the burrata with some bread. It's the perfect flavor combination with the texture of the bread crumbs. Absolutely delicious. The salad was also a really great refreshing balance with the heavier burrata and bread. It's such a simple salad with the most amazing flavors of pickled shallots, buttermilk dressing, and Parmesan. They truly have some of the best cheeses ever. For the mains, I got the lobster tagliatelle and my partner got the lamb rigatoni. We also got smashed potatoes to share with cheese. Everything was impeccable. I was hesitant to get the lobster dish because it's such a low chance that a lobster dish is actually going to taste as good because it's a very difficult dish to perfect but I can confidently say it's probably one of the best ones I've had. The tomato base sauce with celery and chile with the lobster is the perfect combination. I do have to say a DISCLAIMER if you're not good with spicy food it's not for you. It has a pretty strong kick throughout the eating process so do not get it if you can't handle spice. Other than that, it's one of the most flavorful seafood pasta dishes I've ever had. I tried my partners lamb rigatoni and they truly perfected the rendering of it in the sauce and it's such a perfect overall dish with a good serving for rigatoni in general. If you're extra hungry, I would get the cheesy potatoes, they are perfectly crispy on the outside and nice and warm on the inside with the perfect amount of cheese and salt flakes. To close the night, we, of course, got the tiramisu which was very well made. Now, I have been to Paris and actually had it with the best cream on earth so it won't top that. However, it is a close second and probably the best I've had in America. I highly highly highly recommend you try it out. The service is impeccable and Cassey was the best company to have around to talk about celebrations, house of dragon, and having a good night. Thanks for making my birthday a great experience!

    Had dinner reservations for two, and was delighted that the table was ready when we got there…read more Everyone was super friendly and service was good. We started with the burrata based on Yelp reviews and they weren't wrong. Super fresh tasting, and the focaccia paired with it perfectly. It's an upcharge but worth it, and you aren't at a place like this to pinch pennies anyways. We both chose the rigatoni, we had a heavy lunch, and it was perfect. The sauce was deep and hearty and the pasta was exactly al dente. We split a strawberry guacamole sorbet and glad we did, it was larger than expected and absolutely delicious. Place has the feel of a modern restaurant, very sleek. My only complaint was that we were seated next to a room with a large group and it was hard to hear each other talk, but nothing to be done about that. Really great place with a highly focused menu that knocks it out of the park. J.Ja
