I have been here 3 times and every time my experience was really good. This evening we had the best waiter, Nadia. She provided the best service! We had the meat lovers pizza, Demi Moore burger, and Kale Cesar salad. All really tasty! Also the decor of the restaurant is a vibe!

Alexander’s is always my favorite place to bring family and friends when they’re visiting or for special occasions. The food and ambience are amazing! The pink penne pasta is always my go-to, but I don’t think you could go wrong with getting anything else.
