J. Alexander's Restaurant | Premier American Steakhouse and Dining in Dayton, OH

Great service and friendly staff, the food is delicious. Never disappoint. Kassy was our server. she was very friendly and attentive., drinks was were also very good well-made however, after finishing our meal, we asked for coffee we did get them, but when we asked for another round, the server said they are out they are not making more. It was a little bit disappointing and letdown after spending a few hundred dollars. This is not a complaint. Just suggestion take care of your customers ,

This was our first time visiting J. Alexander’s, and we had an excellent experience. The food was tremendous, and the whole staff was very friendly. Would highly recommend J. Alexander’s to anyone looking for a great steakhouse experience.

First time at J Alexander’s and we loved it. We had the Bayou pasta and the Tuscan steak. We also had the deviled eggs and a few drinks. Everything was well priced. I didn’t care for the drinks I got as every cocktail seemed vodka based. The food was good and so was the service. Key lime pie for dessert was also good and I normally don’t like key lime.

No matter what you order, the food they serve to you is HUGE! It's all freshly made and delicious! Their waitstaff go above and beyond just serving you food. I highly recommend this restaurant. It's high-end, but more than worth it. The atmosphere is very romantic. I suggest you make a reservation. My compliments to the chef. So far, the two desserts I've are their key lime pie and their white chocolate raspberry cheesecake. If you're too full for dessert, you really need to take some home.

Had a great meal on Halloween. Lexi, our server, was attentive and fun. Hong Kong shrimp were a crispy and spicy way to start. Caeser salads good. The NYO mac and cheese really surprised us with its cheesy decadence. Our New York strip and the filet with bearnaise were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. Key lime pie finished one of the best meals I've had in a while. I would say that we've tried several steak houses in Dayton but J Alexander's lived up to the hype and impressed in just the right way.

I visit this restaurant very frequently. I like going somewhere that is familiar to me, and where I am familiar to the servers. Service is always prompt, courteous and knowledgeable. I've both sat at tables and at the bar and always been pleased with the servers. Sometimes the bar is busy and that makes a difference, but that can't be helped; but my point is, even then, I always have what I need and the servers are responsive. I tend to order the same things; so obviously I like the food! A few months back, I spoke with the manager about some unevenness in the food. He was very responsive. I'm not claiming my conversation was the cause, but since then, there was a noticeable improvement. Someone behind the bar said a chef or some other expert came in to give some pointers. In any case, much more even, high quality. My steak comes out the right way each time! While I almost always get a NY Strip or sometimes Prime Rib, I recently got the Steak au Poivre, and that was impressive! Dan makes an excellent (gin) martini and he remembers how I like it. The sidecar is a nice bonus. The carrot cake is so good; too good. I don't often get the steak roll appetizer, only because it really can be a meal by itself. The smoked salmon dip is astonishingly good. Quibble: it might benefit from a sprinkle of cayenne. The Alex Salad is one of my mainstays. The Hong Kong Shrimp is always delicious. I really appreciate the flexibility with sides. If ever J. Alex. would decide to have a shrimp cocktail, I'll order it, but that's also a quibble; I'm sure there are good reasons not to have something like that! Keep up the good work!

This is a inviting, cozy and warm restaurant that serves gourmet style food. My husband loved the filet mignon. He substituted the Not Your Ordinary Mac & Cheese in place of the baked potato. The NYO mac and cheese truly is extraordinary. I had the veggie burger (which has a balsamic glaze) with French fries. Our friends had the New York Strip steak (with NYO mac and cheese) and Grilled Salmon with chilled orzo and wild rice salad. Everyone enjoyed the delicious food! We split a piece of chocolate cake (served warm) with vanilla ice cream. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but the food quality is excellent and the attentiveness of the wait staff is great. I was glad we came at 5:30, because it started getting busier the later it got. We had a reservation so didn't have to wait for a table. I would highly recommend this restaurant to othera due to the high quality and variety of food available. It is rare to find a steakhouse that a vegetarian actually enjoys going to! I look forward to going to J. Alexander's again!

This is our go-to date night spot. Tonight was extra spectacular because we had a new fantastic Server, Gabby! Ask for her, you’ll love her! The swordfish was the best dish Js has ever made - in my opinion ( also highly recommended by Gabby) and I am a HUGE regular fan of their salmon … every time I come in. Thank you for another great date night! See you soon, Gabby! You were a joy!
