I've been to J. Alexanders on two separate occasions, and each time, I was not impressed.
Their menu is significantly overpriced, and their quality to price ratio is pretty bad. I ordered the Ahi Tuna for dinner and the chips and guacamole as an appetizer.
The Ahi Tuna was just ok. It was coated in a sauce that was edible, but not pleasant, and didn't really compliment the flavor of the fish.
The guacamole was pretty bad, to be honest. For around seven or eight dollars, you would excpect to get more than a tennis ball sized portion of guacamole, but no. And not to mention, it was not made from good avocados. They were cut way before they were ripened and were a very hard consistency with little flavor (despite being mashed into avocado). It was also JUST avocado. No added onion or jalapeno. Just avocado.
this is a typical place for Scottsdale locals to go. It's made for snotty, "upscale" people, who think that presentation and price of food matters more than the quality.
I probably won't be returning to J. Alexanders anytime soon.
