I have been here a number of times in the past. But this week I had a former Cleveland native friend in town so decided to re-visit this old haunt. We opted for an early lunch. J Alexander was just as I have always remembered. Service was impeccable. Food was high quality. And ambiance was nice. I ordered the ahi tuna salad which was excellent for lunch, tuna was served as indicated on the menu seared and rare..... my favorite way to have tuna! Salad had mixed greens, a light wasabi vinaigrette and a nice amount of shredded wonton noodles. I was pleased. My compadre ordered the hyde park sandwich with orzo as a side and the alex's salad. She was equally pleased. We happened to just be out on a leisurely lunch but service was quick and efficient so you could easily visit during a lunch hour and arrive back to work in reasonable time. Overall J Alexander is a solid can't miss for great food and service. Every time I come here I wonder why I don't come here more often.
