| - I've been wanting to dine at Alex for quite a while and it was worth the wait. I went with the Farmer's Market Menu as I've been making a conscious effort to eat what's in season and to support local farmers, etc etc. Also, the Japanese Seabream caught my eye. Anyhow, I love it when there is food that I've never seen before. A friend of mine had fish with uni and there were little citrus roe like things...LIME CAVIAR...never heard of it! But, so amazing and so delicious. The desserts were delicious as well and the presentation for each dish...fantastic. The food deserves 5 stars as well as the wine list. Okay, so now you're wondering why the 4 stars. I'd actually give them a 4.5 but can't select that, unfortunately. Obviously , the service at this type of establishment is going to be top notch. But, there were a couple things that made me deduct 1/2 a star: 1. Someone took my friend's napkin and it wasn't replaced 2. Same friend ordered a cocktail and had to ask 2 times for it. It may sound petty, but if you're dishing $200-$300 for this kind of meal, that isn't really acceptable to me. However, everyone's human...it just happened to occur to a table where there's a yelp reviewer!
