Iforgot an expensive sweater there.Called day later, was found.Drove long way to pick up couple of days later.Found out that it was stolen in the meantime ,was treated in an arrogant way.
Correspondence afterwards full of dishonesty and commitments given but not held. I dont need anything from them but its sad to know that the place is run by people with no integrity.

Had a terrible experience at Alexanders today. It is a great restaurant but must have hired the wrong manager. Someone who should never be in front of customers. Totally rude and disrespectful. I have been their frequent client in the last six years. Will not go back as long he is there. I real shame. Owners and customers deserve better. Right now do not recommend it.

The flavor of the macadamia nut encrusted grouper was outstanding and so to was the cioppino, only outdone by the service we received, which is greatly appreciated in this Covid time where restaurants are finding it difficult maintaining enough staff. Bravo!

Chef Alex and his wife do an AMAZING job! Food was absolutely phenomenal. I mean once the butter came out and we saw the whipped consistency and the scallions mixed in, we knew this was going to be a treat lol. Pear drink was amazing and legit fresh pure. We had seafood risotto, grouper, the Salmon and of-course Alexs special veal. Wow!!!! Please dont forget dessert also. The tiramisu and gelato are just unlike anything you have had. Especially in Naples. Plus we saw the great Celtic Larry Bird eating here. Can blame the guy! Alex killer work!

Food here is EXCELLENT! Incredible! For appetizers we ordered Lettuce wraps which were FANTASTIC! They're served kind of like build your own tacos- they're served with a wonderful marinated duck, sticky jasmine rice, pickles onions, kimchi, and 2 different sauces. We also ordered the Octopus as an appetizer which was also great. The best thing about the Octopus is the wonderfully seasoned potato plank served with it. Just AMAZING! For dinner, I ordered the Sea bass which was delish! My date ordered the crispy duck which is literally HALF a duck! So yummy. The dessert menu wasn't appealing at
