  • I ate here with my boyfriend and future in-laws to celebrate his cousin's graduation. I was a fan of the decor and general layout of the place. Seeing the kitchen and the chefs running around reminded me of Hell's Kitchen (sans Gordon Ramsay yelling at everyone). It was dim and had a romantic atmosphere, each table boasting a lit candle. Service was generally good as the waitstaff was attentive, though our waiter wasn't the friendliest. It was a busy evening and he was probably tired, so I can't necessarily blame him for not being talkative. I'm really fond of restaurants that give you a jug of water for your table instead of the waiter constantly refilling it with a pitcher. Our jug was shaped like an old fashioned glass milk bottle, which I found amusing. I ordered the rotisserie chicken with a side of mashed potatoes. The meat was rather tender and the broth you're given on the side really does a wonderful job at making it super juicy. I also appreciated that it wasn't fatty and dark. However, I found the skin to be rather peppery. My boyfriend got the steak (the one he got in particular escapes me), french fries, and a croissant. When I sampled each item from his plate, my feelings were mixed. The steak tasted more like a ham, the french fries were reminiscent of the frozen shoestring fries I'd bake at home, and the croissant oddly enough tasted like a doughnut. Now, I'm no expert in French cuisine but I've always imagined a croissant being more akin to a dinner roll than a breakfast pastry. Yet again, maybe I've just been eating croissants wrong my whole life. On a similar note, I also sampled his Alex's side salad. I was turned off by the amount of shredded carrots and the like and the fact that the ranch dressing was at the bottom of the salad, and I found the croutons to also taste like some sort of sweet fried dough. Yet again, I like my salads plain and covered in cheese so who am I to judge? Overall, I wasn't too terribly disappointed with J. Alexander's. I couldn't say that I was a fan of every food I tried nor the borderline obscene prices, but it's not a bad place for a special occasion. I'd come back if I had the money and the means to come back to the Lyndhurst area, but it's not on my priority list.
