J. Alexander's - Nashville

This was our first time dining here. The clam chowder was just okay for me; it was a bit too broth-like. However, the side salad was outstanding—fresh and delicious. My wife ordered the prime rib with mashed potatoes, and I chose the filet with béarnaise sauce and a loaded baked potato. Without a doubt, it was the best filet, prime rib, and baked potato we've ever had. As strange as it may sound, the whipped butter was also the best we've ever tasted. We can't wait to return!

My family and I had an excellent experience with both the food and service. Our server, Jeff, was attentive and made sure all our needs were met. He carefully noted our orders, and our meals arrived exactly as we requested. This place gets quite busy, so I recommend making a reservation. We will definitely be returning!

The filet was one of the worst I've experienced in a long time—thin, tough, and served cold. However, our server, Roland, was very professional and attentive to our needs. It was quite expensive for such a disappointing cut of meat.

I went here for my 30th birthday because I love J Alexander's food and wanted to celebrate with my closest friends. I wanted them to experience the good food and service that I have always received. We had a party of 10 and the hostess was not accommodating to us at all. They told my husband on the phone that we would be good to all sit near each other if not sit together. When we got to the restaurant they stated that we had to split up 6 and 4 which was fine but they put my other half of the party on the other side of the restaurant. Not only were they very rude about it but they said if we didn't agree to do that we could just leave. The most upsetting part is that they had 3-4 tables around us that were 4 tops and they didn't get seated the entire time we were there. Not only did they not want to deal with our party of 10 but they showed us very poor service. We will no longer be back at this location. I will go to the West End location or Cool Springs when we go out again.

Thank you for making our daughter's birthday celebration so special! We have visited nearly every location in the Middle Tennessee area, and without a doubt, this one is the best. Francisc was incredible and went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful evening.
