Redlands Grill By J. Alexander's

An American cuisine grill with a 20th century art deco lounge vibe. The atmosphere was pleasant, which, along with the prices, gave me high expectations for the food. Unfortunately, it was underwhelming. I was disappointed with the steak burger. I like to get burgers at American cuisine restaurants because, to me, it says a lot about the quality of the other food if you succeed (or flop) on your burgers - a staple American cuisine. This one was a flop. I asked for a medium (I like to test this before getting a medium rare on another visit) and I got well (no pink). The beef lacked flavor, and the dressing was underwhelming and needed to be rescued with ketchup from my fries. I expect more when I pay almost $20 for a burger at a restaurant touting its American cuisine. The server was excellent - friendly and responsive. The atmosphere was pleasant. The straw fries were a good side. The chocolate cake with a scoop of ice cream was a delicious, shareable treat at the end of our meal.

First time ever eating there yesterday. We received awesome service from our waitress. Spinach dip was awesome. Chicken tenders were very tender, loved the skinny little fries. My husband said his new york strip was cooked perfectly. My son had the prime rib and ate every bite. Our only complaint was it was chilly inside. Other than that it was delicious!

Nice atmosphere, but a little loud. We ordered the deviled eggs and they were good, but a little on the bland side. I got the prime rib medium rare and it was cooked to perfection. Juicy and flavorful. Au jus could have been warmer and saltier, but went well with the requested creamy horseradish sauce. My wife got the filet mignon. She ordered it medium but it came rare, almost blue. She hates complaining and didn't want to return it, so she ate around the edges. It had good flavor and crust, but for as expensive as the steak was, you got to know how to cook a thick steak to the requested temp. Maybe finish it in the oven if it's a skill issue... Overall, service was great and sides were delicious.
