Out of town visitor on 2/24/11. Unsure where to have dinner with a colleague of mine. Upon entering parking lot on a Thursday night around 7:30pm, discovered the parking lot was PACKED. Although, valet parking was available I decided to park my own car. Entrance into J. Alexander's was very nice. Decor is upper scale. Seated in a very large booth which could have accomdated 6 people (3 per side). I ordered the cajun shrimp with cilantro. WONDERFUL! Flavorful, well cooked. accompanied by a Louisiana style rice. LOVED IT! Also had a glass of cabernet wine, not sure what brand. My colleague had the steak (med. rare and made to perfection) and fries. He also had (2) Bacardi & Cokes. Meal came to around $74.00 which included a 20% tip. Great server by the way.
