J. Alexander's Restaurant - Centennial, Colorado

J Alexander’s never disappoints, we’ll almost never. We all had a great dinner, two of us had salads and one had fish. We all thought the main dishes were perfect. We had a couple minor problems though, cocktails, took a good 20 minutes, clearly they had some sort of problem, but at least a cocktails tasted great! The main problem was a salmon dip appetizer we ordered. It had been sitting and had a completely overwhelming flavor of red onion, the gases had permeated the whole dish, and while we tried to eat it, it was just too much. We sent it back, and the server said the chef agreed, however, they did not give us a credit for the dish. We didn’t want to raise a stink (the appetizer was stinky enough), but it left a very ‘bad taste’ in my mind, yes, puns are intended.
Im guessing our problems had to do with a new server, he was a nice fella, but obviously was new at this game. We were particularly happy with everything else so I thought I would give a review.

Excellent service. Logan, the host, went out of his way to ensure our girls group had the perfect table. Our waiter was excellent. And the food… so good. The croutons on the Redlands salad… so so good!

Visiting from Florida and decided to have dinner here was such an amazing experience due to the difference in elevations with Florida and Colorado. We came in for dinner and felt a sudden lightheaded when we was being served our server was excellent. He explaining to us what to do and where we can go get an oxygen mask to give our bodies a little bit more oxygen, and was very kind of polite bagged our food, and gave us a nice discount on our food without even us asking for one the manager came through and checked in on us the service here the atmosphere the food. Everything was a level 10 if I could give more than five stars, I definitely would. I definitely would recommend this place !

We love J Alexander’s and often go solely because we are hankering for that darn carrot cake! That being said, the steaks are always so good. Husband has the NY and NYO Mac n cheese this time and holy smokes! The steak was so tender and juicy and the Mac n cheese was ? So yummy. My filet was good but pretty dry. Our server Kevin kindly brought me some of their home made Worcestershire sauce that made it better. The baked potato though. Wow. I mean, you think, potato, big deal but yes, it was a big deal. lol The jacket was so salty and all the good stuff was inside. The potato was hot and fluffy and… it was just delightful. And of course the carrot cake did not disappoint. We don’t eat sugar any more if we can help it but man…. So worth it. The meal was so good that we decided to make Christmas Eve Eve reservations.

Another great one has disappeared. Color me disappointed. I have enjoyed J Alexander's over the years, but in this recent time, this Denver venue has been wanting.

It started with the service, curt and cold.

I watched 5 other customers not get decent seating due to not selecting special seating when they made reservations. I don't believe they knew that they had to select this.

The food was lackluster: oversalted, tough chicken, the daily special; and the recommended grilled trout with a mountain of cole slaw to distract one from contempt of price, was a sad attempt.

As I left, I noticed that ginger ale is the price of a cocktail with no free refills. I had two. My mistake, but I would have appreciated a warning from the stellar service.

I'm ashamed that I took my wife there for her birthday. Forgive me.

First time experience and it was exceptional! Grilled artichokes and deviled eggs were the perfect start, the steak was cooked perfectly, and THAT carrot cake…chefs kiss! Service from Michael was great!

We have been going to J. Alexander’s for 20+ years and they never disappoint. The service is friendly and professional and the food is fantastic. Last night I had the Grilled Artichoke and the French Dip which was out of this world along with the Key Lime Pie to top off the night. Delicious ! The manager was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a 5 star experience.

Excellent crab cakes & calamari! Their servers are attentive and friendly! Crab cakes were delicious! I’ve been to Boston and tried 3 different spots recommended by locals. I had to come to Denver to get the best crab cakes I ever had. Perfectly cooked chunks of crab, nicely seasoned, and it’s binding was so light the crab flavors came through. Calamari was also cooked to perfection! Texture of calamari was perfect and seasoned very nicely. Sushi wasn’t the best, but it was good.
