| - Located in the mid-town area, Alexi's has been the go-to place for executive professionals, politicians etc. since it opened in 1994. And most of the same staff is still there...including the chef! That alone speaks volumes.
The menu centers around northern Italian, continental and Mediterranean cuisine. We started with the combo appetizer. Yum yum! No rubbery calamari here! And the shrimp and tortellini were awesome. For entrees, we opted for the salmon and the halibut special. Again - to die for. Perfectly prepared, beautifully presented, moist and melt-in-your-mouth delicious.
The desserts looked incredible, but all we had room for was some spumoni ice cream. I know, I know...but it was a nice change all the same...and refreshing!
Our waiter was great, made sure all was to our liking as well as personable and friendly. We got there a bit early on a Saturday evening, but by the time we left around 7:30pm, the place was packed, and the patio was filling up.
Alexi's is not "trendy" or "industrial chic", and the interior may need some refreshing, but the food is excellent - and a great value. Prices are remarkably reasonable and the portions are healthy.
