We enjoy visiting J. Alexander's and stop in occasionally.
It had been more than 3 months since our last visit and we found their dinner menu had changed. Among the changes - added pizza and tacos, removed club sandwich, chicken pasta soup is now available on a rotating basis.
Even though it wasn't on the menu, our waiter Mike was knowledgeable and accomodating. He said they were happy to make a club sandwich for my husband. I usually order Alex salad and chicken pasta soup but since the soup was not on the line-up that night, I opted to try a French dip. The meat was really good and so tender, unfortunately not so thrilled about the heavy sourdough bread which the meat spilled from or the lukewarm au jus. I'm picky about my French dips, just won't order this again but there are so many other great things to choose. I chose spinach in place of fries - a giant portion of spinach fortified me like Popeye. The club sandwich was perfect as always, fries were ordered extra crispy but did not come out that way. Mike was happy to deliver another order of fries cooked crispy and we were smiling again.
Another reason to smile - Monday nights with your order of 2 entrees, they are currently offering 1 free bottle of select wine for 1 cent (they even give you the penny). Well that was a very nice treat. Thank you, we enjoyed our wine with our meal very much.
No room for dessert but if you go, you MUST try the carrot cake - warm and dripping with cream cheese icing. Soooo good.
