Good service at Alexander's Restaurant. The breakfast was buffet style, and had the essentials. Everything was clean, and the waiters were at the ready to keep the water, coffee, and orange juice filled. read more

Great breakfast and reasonable. Quiet with responsive service. Great view if the water.

Excellent customer service. Our waiter was very attentive to my party of 15. Liz the manager was very nice as I planned this dinner. Meal was good Only thing. I lost three people to my dinner because when they google the address it shows this location was Permanently Closed. The phone number on the Google page doesn't help read more

Restaurant in the Four Points. I stopped in for breakfast. Limited menu but several items from which to choose. Attentive server and very friendly. When I got my charges from the hotel I was actually billed for two breakfast tables. They fixed it right away. Nice option inside the hotel. read more

Alexander's Restaurant and Lounge - Breakfast - Steakhouses Near Me - Ventura, California

Ate 3 meals here while staying at the Sheraton. Breakfast is better than dinner. Since their specialty is a huge brunch I guess this makes sense, but the dinner was so gross I don't think I'd come back to try their brunch. I had the butternut squash stuffed ravioli with broccolini pesto. Ravioli was just ok. But that pesto was so stringy and gooey, I thought they'd gone out in the harbor and harvested actual kelp. Nasty. Nasty looking, tasting, and my tummy hurt later. Our waiter for dinner seemed poorly trained. He brought me a breakfast menu for dinner. I asked for plastic cups for water and juice for my 4 year old and he brought them filled to the brim with no lids or straws. The breakfast staff is way friendlier and attentive. I like this Sheraton when visiting Ventura, but I don't recommend this restaurant unless it's just to grab a quick and easy breakfast. read more

After reading the reviews we made reservations this morning and when we arrived nobody at the hostess Booth. We waited maybe 5 minutes then the hostess returned. She greeted us with a smile & questioned if we had a reservations. We informed we did then offered the option inside or outside seating. We choose outside. Beautiful morning. We choose the Sunday brunch. Excellent service. Our drinks never were dry. Wide variety of food selection for the Sunday brunch. Fresh and hot. Highly recommend Sunday brunch read more

Wonderful place for a Sunday Brunch. Not only is the champagne flowing, and the food wonderful, but the atmosphere is great. The staff is very friendly and is quick to top off your glass and take your plate. I read that someone said that they don't change the menu, but my wife and I went there a month apart and there were different selections. And I was a bit disappointed because I was expecting a certain item that I was craving for. And the following month after that it returned. So, it does rotate, it just depends on when you go. I highly recommend it. read more

The food was OK, not spectacular, but OK. It wins because it's part of the hotel we were staying at, and the service was friendly and efficient. Otherwise, it's nothing inside that stands out, the patio has a view of.. a parking lot (and the ocean, but only over the top of a building), and the food was average. The price they charge makes sense as it lines up with being convenient in the hotel, they can charge it directly to the room and the service, again, was friendly and efficient. If I were staying here, I'd eat here. Otherwise, I wouldn't make the effort to go. read more

We came here for the first time to give it a try. We were greeted at the desk in the most unfriendly manor. The dining area was 75% empty and when we were asked if we had a reservation and we said no she then showed us a list of people on her clip board who did make a reservation . How about "have you ever been here before? "Welcome we are happy to have you" The food was okay not bad not great. The service was below average. We are now leaving and the dining area is still 75% empty... I don't think a reservation is necessary unless you want a friendly greeting read more

Two words....breakfast buffet. While I was surprised they did not have scrambled eggs, the chefs were more than happy to make a custom omelette, carve some fresh meat from the carving station, and more bacon than should be legal. As if this was not enough, there was a fresh waffle station, along with more sea food than a pirate could eat. The staff was friendly and attentive, and this was an overall home run experience. read more

Every once in a while I like to come here for their all-you-can-eat Sunday Brunch Buffet. The first time I came here was several years ago and I feel like the quality of the buffet has gone down since then, but that seems to be like most things with this economy. Alexander's Sunday brunch buffet includes cheap champagne and/or mimosas, which I did not try but my girlfriend enjoyed well enough. It starts at 10AM and goes until... I think 2PM every Sunday. They have breakfast foods as well as lunch type foods. They have an omelet station where a guy can make you a tasty omelet with whatever you want inside (from the decent selection of choices in front of the station). They have a bananas foster station as well as having seafood (yesterday it included snow crab legs and oysters on the half shell as well as cold shrimp), bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes, pork, rice medley etc. In the side room they have breads, croissants, bagels, toast, danishes, fruit, cold salads, cubed cheese and desserts. They have a whole large table filled with desserts, which is my favorite part. Varieties of cakes, pies and/or cheesecakes, chocolate dipped strawberries and small 2-bite cakes and pastries are included, but I recommend you get your desserts early unless you're not picky - I don't see them restock the desserts through the morning so once something is gone it's probably gone until next time. Outside on the patio were hot-trays of tri-tip, chicken and pork BBQ as well as beans and corn on the cob. The guy at the omelet station had a big ham and some tri-tip he was slicing for diners as well. I enjoyed my food and the service was reasonable. At some point the staff stopped coming by our table (after we had paid) but we were still eating and talking so I had to flag someone down to get a refill on my soda. After that, they checked in on us frequently, which was nice, but also made us feel like they wanted us to leave. My friend and I ate and gabbed for about three hours, and I wasn't hungry the entire rest of the day. I was very satisfied and if I was willing to eat without restraint every Sunday I would come here far more often! read more

On our anniversary weekend we were looking for a good steakhouse and were coming up short. We arrived shortly before 7pm on a Saturday evening and we were the only people in the restaurant which concerned me. The waiter was very attentive. My steak was tender and flavorful and my husband's salmon was good. The vegetables consisting of carrots, squash and zucchini were very good. By the time we left there were 4 other couples dining. We both had the apple tart that was delicious being accompanied by caramel sauce. Not the dining experience I would have expected but we didn't have any complaints. read more

Six of us were in Oxnard for a girls weekend and decided we wanted to go to Sunday brunch with Champagne. My cousin found Alexander's so we made reservations. What a great time we had! We couldn't believe the variety of food offered! Everything was delicious too! And the champagne kept coming! Here are some of the many items we enjoyed: Crab legs, shrimp cocktail, oysters, prime rib, ham, tri-tip, eggs benedict, bagels, bear-claws, salads, fresh fruit, breakfast potatoes, rice pilaf, pasta, omelette bar, waffles, bacon, sausage, corn-on-the-cob, bananas foster, chocolate covered strawberries, lemon bars, plus much more! The staff was very friendly. And the price so reasonable! We can't wait to come back! We all highly recommend this brunch! Come hungry! read more

Alexander's Restaurant is located inside the Four Points Hotel in Ventura. They have really good food! Their employees are also friendly and provide really good service! I ordered an omelet for breakfast and it was excellent! The omelet was prepared perfectly and came with delicious hashbrowns! I asked for salsa with the breakfast and it appeared to be fresh homemade salsa! It tasted really wonderful on both the omelette and the hashbrowns! I would definitely recommend eating at Alexander's! read more

I was torn between a two and four star. Why the wide range? Well, the experience wasn't all that memorable, but the food was pleasant. I did come here for the Sunday champagne brunch. I was a bit leery of the seafood section. Any time seafood smells fishy, it means it isn't very fresh. Just because a restaurant is close to the beach doesn't mean all the food is acquired locally, and regularly. There was ham, roast beef, and tri tip... during a brunch. I don't know, but I think brunch should be more eggs benedict, waffles, and other heavy portioned breakfast items. I think a whole side of beef is more a lunch thing, but that might just be me. Anyways, here's the summary. Pros: - Made to order omlet station. Be careful, they add a lot of butter and cheese, though you can just ask them to use less. - Tamales for brunch. Interesting, and quite satisfying. - Well stocked fruit and pastry section. - Champagne/mamosas included. - Made to order bananas fosters station. Cons: - Lack of commitment to the typical brunch affairs. Waffles and eggs benedict were present, but woefully overlooked. - Poor seafood quality. - Champagne a bit too dry for my taste. - Not really worth $25/person. read more

Came for breakfast before checking out. Thy re busy setting up for brunch rather than serve customers who re here.

It was after 8 pm when we met friends who were staying at the hotel. After ogling the massive gingerbread house in the lobby, we checked out Alexander's menu and were happy to hear they stayed open until 10 pm. There was only one other couple there on a Sunday evening. The staff was amazingly accommodating and attentive, and didn't try to rush us. The deck and indoor tables would have a great view of the harbor in daylight, but the rest of the decor is basic Sheraton Hotel restaurant. The chicken nachos were real cheesy goodness. What is a standout is the lamb chops. My crusted tilapia was well prepared, but the salads were standard lettuce/carrot. The servers split two of the meals on to separate plates-good thing because the fettuccine was a giant portion-more than two people could eat. We had a good bottle of Buena Vista Pinot Noir off their small but reasonably priced wine list, and several beer choices as well. Overall, a pleasant dining experience, and I will return to enjoy the harbor view during the day. read more

We had "Alexanders" recommended to us by a friend who goes to brunch there regularly. We decided to try it out on Thanksgiving. This would be the first restaurant Thanksgiving dinner we ever went to. Booking a table proved to be very difficult; the (unfriendly) receptionist would eventually take and transfer the booking to the restaurant, bad start. On Thanksgiving day the restaurant was mobbed. we were seated in about 10 minuets, not bad. There was a good selection of food at the buffet tables, regularly replenished, no skimping here. Carvery service however, was sluggish and skimpy with portions. The overall quality was very good. Our waiter, Ruben R. was excellent! He ensured our glasses were filled and coffee on hand. He and the restaurant staff worked very hard, to provide great service to a very large crowd. They account for the forth star in our rating. The (unfriendly) front desk receptionist could learn from her restaurant co workers. And, based on our experience at "Alexanders", yes, we will return for Sunday brunch. read more

We went here for Mother's Day Brunch and what a wonderful experience. Plant of selection, great quality, and well organized. Staff was very efficient and made the experience great. Will definitely be back. read more

Brought my hubby here for Father's Day brunch. It is a beautiful restaurant but for the price I paid it was not worth it! It was $46 per person and at that price you would expect great service and food right? Or at least hope! I did like that they had a lot of food options. Seafood, prime rib, breakfast and lunch options. They had a full dessert table and an ice cream station. What I didn't like was the wait! They must be understaffed. Food was running out and took forever for them to refill. It took a good 20 mins to get some pancakes because the lady at the pancake station was also in charge of the ice cream table and the seafood area. All in all i wouldn't go back and i wouldn't recommend this place. I'm sure there are better, less expensive places. read more

Alexander's is a restaurant inside the Four Points Sheraton hotel by the picturesque harbor. It's got two very different rooms encompassing the place, on opposite sides of the bottom floor of the hotel. One room is gorgeous, views of the harbor and a lovely atmosphere with tables spread out across room and a nice cool temperature on a hot summer day. Unfortunately I wasn't sat in this room. I was in the room across the way with high ceilings, small view-less windows, and long banquet tables squished together to fit as many people as possible. It was hot and busy on the Father's Day brunch my family and I came to. In light of the holiday, I made reservations early on in the week. The man on the phone was friendly but did not speak English very well so when I called back to confirm the day before, he ended up making another reservation instead of confirming mine, oops! Making a reservation was a good idea because this place was packed! The front desk people were very friendly and got through the crowds efficiently, allowing incomplete parties to sit and hit the buffet table while waiting for the rest of their family. The brunch itself is delicious and had almost everything you can think of and more available for consuming! Catfish, bagels, muffins, mashed potatoes, omelets, oysters, crab, eggs benedict, tri tip, chicken, waffles, bananas foster, cake, brownies, fruit, fruit tarts! I think I got most of the list there! Can't forget the bottomless mimosas for those of us over 21 either! That said, this place really is one where you need to be aggressive with what you want. Be prepared to flag down waitresses for refills. I wanted something nonalcoholic to wash down my giant meal too and noticed coffee stations on two sides of the room so I started my search there for some tea. Eventually I made my way over to the other room and it was like I had walked into a breath of fresh air. Less chaos, cool air, and iced tea stations! Why were us in the other room being jilted? Yet paying the same price? I enjoyed the food and the time spent with my family, but the food wasn't anything extraordinary that couldn't have been made at home or at any other typical hotel brunch (that is free in some places). I think it would have been a better experience in the fancier room with the view and the air conditioning (which they did eventually turn on in my room once I mentioned it to a host). Not worth the $40 in my opinion! read more

Went on a Sunday night. We were the only two people in the restaurant. Rogartio was our waiter...nice...helpful...quick server. We shared crab cakes and Caesar salad. Everything was good...served cold salad..hot crab cakes. read more

Came here for Mother's Day brunch expected it to be busy, but Management completely overbooked the place and I completely blame the bad experience on that. They didn't even have enough plates at the beginning of the line people were standing waiting for plates to be brought out at about 10 at a time they disappeared immediately and people had to stand and wait again. The food was bland, they kept reusing the omelette pan and the bananas foster pans it left a burnt flavor on every thing. The oysters all had chunks if shells in them. My table wasn't the only one that felt this way all the tables around me were having waiters pick up full plates of food and send it back. A few items were ok but over all I felt I just wasted $40. read more

Easter brunch--we were accommodated even though we had a mix up and booked at the last minute. Food was well prepared. Deserts superior. Staff was too busy but worked to accommodate. All in all a good experience, and would eat there again. Recommend it. read more

We came here for the Thanksgiving brunch and it was fantastic! So many items to choose from - freshly made omelets, fruit, different salads, waffles, sausage and bacon, turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans - delicious! You do not walk out of here hungry! read more

I would highly recommend trying out the Sunday champagne brunch. There are many tasty types of food and deserts to try out. I came with my appetite! The following were the ones that stuck out to me: The omelet that you can make to your liking was fluffy and pleasing to the palate. The banana foster (sliced bananas and strawberries sauteed in a pan with brown sugar, syrup, and brandy (optional) on top of vanilla bean ice cream) with waffles was a great way to end my brunch. Oh sooo good! You must visit this restaurant (located in the Four Points by Sheraton) if you are looking for a quality Sunday Brunch. read more

Have been here several times in the last 7 years or so, with that said i was a little disappointed with the brunch today. They haven't changed the menu since I've been coming here.... and have pulled some of the items they did have, Sad.... Seems like there's no passion in the food at all.. defiantly not worth 30 bucks anymore. Very good service but without better food we probably won't go back.... read more

We've been going to Alexander's as a family for their Thanksgiving buffet for several years now. Pretty sure after this year we won't be back. Everything was out of stock and no one seemed to care. While I understand having a holiday buffet would be busy, they seemed to be quite understaffed this year. No plates, no turkey, no eggs benedict, did I mention no turkey? On Thanksgiving? We were sat at a table minus one setup and they never returned to set it up. Our service was terrible. They added a 18% gratuity which was laughable...we were barely going to give them 10%. No one cleared our table, we had to get our own drinks, I tried telling several people there were problems, but, again, no one cared. They should be ashamed of themselves to cost so much for such a bad experience. Thanks for nothing. read more

We have gone several more times since my last review and if it is a nice day you MUST make reservations to get a seat outside. Liz was our waitress the last several times and she kept the champagne flowing. We were lucky that they apparently BBQ in the warm months as the last two times we have had delicious tri-tip, BBQ citrus chicken, ribs and slow cooked beans that were located outside on the patio. Great touch!! I do believe the price has increased to about $28 per person. The bananas foster was very good. read more

If you like crab legs, and buffets with about every brunch food you could desire, then Alexander's is the Sunday Brunch place for you. I like to get veggie omlettes and everything off their dessert trays. The servers are very attentive and you never-ending mimosa will be just that. Mother's Day Brunch was a little chaotic there, but Mother's Day Brunch is normally rather chaotic anywhere. read more

We went for the champagne buffet on Sunday. When we spoke w the hostess, I believe her name was Elisabeth, she was VERY rude. She asked if we had a reservation (half the place was empty), when we told her no she told us we could either sit in the lobby w our food or outside. She kept talking down to us as if she was superior. We ended up being sat outside but she kept walking ahead of us and away from us, not friendly at all. The food was great though. I enjoyed the crab legs and the chocolate dipped strawberries. Our waitress, I believe her name was also Elisabeth, was very kind. She took great care of us and made sure we were happy especially since she could tell our group was upset about someone else's actions. I appreciated our waitress. I would try to find another brunch the next time I am in the area. read more

I came here for a rehearsal dinner starting at 6pm. What time did we leave? 10pm. And not because we were partying...that is how long the service took from start to finish. We didn't even receive our food until an hour and a half into sitting down! And the bread came after our entrees! This is unacceptable to me, especially since we were the only party in the restaurant. The food was not bad, but not good enough for me or anyone else in the party to come back. read more

If i could put a half a star i would have. Terrible steak and shrimp. Had better steak at Carrow's and for a fraction of the price. Don't waste your money here. I felt like i got robbed after i left this place. read more
