Alexander's

We ate here for the first time last night based on the recommendation of a local shop owner, I had the Broiled Cod with baked potato, Mahi Mahi topped with peach mango chutney and roasted zucchini as the side. Starting with the cons: It's about an hour and a half away from me. Pros: the cod was probably the best broiled fish I've had from anywhere, it was fall apart flakey and the lemon butter sauce gave it a great flavor without overpowering it. The baked potato was cooked perfectly (soft inside, nice crispy skin on the outside). My wife had the Mahi Mahi mostly gone before I even realized what happened, she said the chutney gave added the perfect blend of sweet and spicy to the fish, the zucchini was roasted in a lemon olive oil, her new favorite way to cook it she said. For dessert she had baklava sundae, it had a eater large and thick piece of baklava under a scoop of ice cream and covered with chocolate. I had the creme brulee with raspberries, it was torched right at the table which was a nice touch to it, the brown sugar was caramelized just right to form a warm layer on top of the cool bottom. I preferred it without the raspberries, they took away from the taste of the actual creme brulee so I ate them separately. Our waiter (who I'm assuming was one of the owners) was wonderful. He was attentive enough to us that we never had to ask for anything and even joked around with us. After our dinner he came over and talked to us for a little while and was an all around awesome guy, even if the food wasn't as amazing as it was the treatment we got from him was enough to make us go back.

I visited Alexander’s today as I often pass through Ambridge (unfortunately). I was disappointed. I’m not sure who the rude waiter was that everyone was botching about, but our server was super nice. Their menu is OK. Decent selection. Sadly, the bread they were kind enough to give me was microwaved to hell resulting in rolls that were tougher than rocks. The Honey glazed chicken was completely tasteless. The only thing you could taste was honey. No flavors at all, no good notes of aftertaste, no seasonings. I’d really be interested in visiting one more time and trying their pecan ball.

Alexander's is a family restaurant that has been serving the Ambridge community and its environs for years. It is the go-to place for a nice atmosphere, good and well prepared food, and outstanding hospitality. The prices are very reasonable, and and while most of the menu is traditional American food, they do have some Greek offerings and Italian offerings which are excellent. I recommend it highly.

Alexander's catered a company luncheon in February of 2014. The food was absolutely incredible. Everything tasted amazing and was fresh and hot. The staff filled our plates to the brim and didn't skimp on anything! Absolutely exceptional food. I see the other complaints on here are in regards to their customer service and wait staff skills-- obviously I can't comment to that as our interaction was simply catered but the older lady and two gentlemen that were here were nothing but kind and repeatedly thanked us for the opportunity to serve them. When they got here (K&L Gates downtown) one of my co-workers heard the older lady say, "This will be the best meal they will have!" We laughed and kind of played it off as overly confident -- she proved to be correct!
