点评:Came for happy hour and ended up ordering food to go.
A colleague in a networking group suggested J Alexanders for happy hour meeting.
They do not have a happy hour but were fairly busy on a Wednesday evening in the bar area.
The bartenders were nice and the Kentucky old fashioned (tried Duke Bourbon) was just perfect. I had a second cocktail in the knickerbocker and it was just too sweet with the candied cherry. I should stick with what I like.
I ordered the deviled eggs and there were 8 to an order which was more than I expected. The eggs and filling were creamy and delicious with sugar cured bacon and pickle relish. As my eyes are always bigger than my stomach I also ordered the fire grilled artichokes with remoulade. They were charred perfectly with enough oil and salt to make them decadent and easy to eat. I definitely needed my napkin with them. Also big enough for 2-4 people to share.
To go I ordered an Alex's salad with grilled chicken. I didn't try it but my wife really liked it with the homemade ranch dressing (on the side of course!)
I tried the French dip and it was very tasty. I did ask for grilled onions as an addition. They were added but in large slices so I'll skip that next time. The au jus was fine but a little underseasoned. I did try the French Fries for my side and I give them a thumbs up.
Will have to come back for a meal in the dining room.
Very impressed with J Alexanders.
翻译:来这里是为了享受欢乐时光,结果点了外卖。
一位同事在一个社交小组里推荐了J Alexanders作为欢乐时光聚会的地点。
他们没有欢乐时光,但周三晚上酒吧区人很多。
调酒师人很好,肯塔基老式鸡尾酒(试了杜克波旁)非常完美。我点了第二杯尼克博克鸡尾酒,但糖渍樱桃太甜了。我应该坚持自己喜欢的口味。
我点了魔鬼蛋,一份有8个,比我预期的要多。鸡蛋和馅料奶油味浓郁,配上糖渍培根和酸黄瓜酱,美味可口。因为我的眼睛总是比肚子大,所以我还点了火烤朝鲜蓟配蛋黄酱。朝鲜蓟烤得恰到好处,油和盐的用量恰到好处,美味可口,吃起来也很方便。我绝对需要带餐巾纸。而且份量也足够2-4人分享。
我点了一份Alex's烤鸡沙拉外带。我没点,但我妻子很喜欢搭配自制的田园沙拉酱(当然是配菜!)。
我点了法式蘸酱,味道好极了。我要求加烤洋葱,虽然加了,但切得很大,下次就不加了。肉汁还不错,但调味略淡。我点了薯条作为配菜,我给它们点赞。
以后一定要再来餐厅用餐。
对J Alexanders印象非常好。
