Restaurants near Residence Inn Temple

Great food and excellent service! We love Alexander’s!

Having followed the renovation,vor many years and also of course Chip and Jo, I really enjoyed being in their space. There were lots of opportunities for joining in with other people and conversation but we were seated in the rear dining room which we really enjoyed because we wanted a quiet atmosphere. It was perfect. The space bordered an outdoor space that was not in use because it was winter. There was lots of natural light, the service was on point, attentive, friendly and genuine. We had the stack of "onion donuts" which we loved and the ranch dressing. Then, we had each a smashburger but we couldn't finish our meal and we each took half of our Burger home with us for later, it was great. It was good being in the space, enjoying the fellowship, great service in the elegant but casual atmosphere. Well done Chip and Jo and well done to the staff who carries their vision forward.

All was great. Our reservation was at 5:30 but we arrived just before 5. Had to wait a few minutes since, unbeknown to us…… they don’t open until 5 on Sat. Oysters were great.

Don’t bother making a reservation. We showed up 15 min before our time, and were told 10-20 min, but we’re seated until 20 min after our reservation time. This impacted the timeline of the rest of our evening.
