Two days ago, was my second time dining at Alex's. The first time was a few months ago, when I met a bunch of buddies there and we had a very good time. The food was worthy of the best restaurants. I had a salad, Chicken Parm, calamari, some vegetables, and an Old Fashion. I could write a book on the do's and don'ts when making the drink, as most places simply do not know how to make it. Alex's does. The food was delicious. A buddy who is a regular patron there suggested that next time I should try the steak. He said it's among the best he's ever had. This time, I tried the Surf and Turf and not only was the steak mouthwatering, but the lobster was just as good. Together, well...you won't find anything else better tasting. The icing on the cake is the staff. Extremely professional, they were attentive and well-versed in communicating the specials from memory. I cannot wait for my third visit there! read more

This place is a diamond in the ruff. This place is amazing but the outside doesn't have a view. The food and service here are excellent. Elio took care of us tonight. His welcoming demeanor and knowledge of the menu made for an enjoyable experience. The food here is really good. I got the Chicken Scarpariello which was fantastic 10/10. The burrata special is excellent. This place is pretty small so not great for big tables. The food is reasonably priced. I will be back. read more

Ehhh, came in for a quick lunch with a colleague. Sat at the bar. Now I had plenty of time to sit for 25 mins until my train. A blue moon, water, shrimp scampi, chicken francese =$67 in North White Plains + $10 tip Never was served the food. I ordered an appetizer my colleague ordered an entreé and he actually finished his entire meal before mine came out. We sat down and ordered by 1145, To add I PAID FOR IT AND GAVE A TIP BEFORE MY FOOD CAME OUT! Not sure what went wrong here but it wasn't explained to me and I waited literally until the last minute. I left there at 1201 to catch a 1203. Never tasted or saw it. Bias? Maybe but hope someone cares but they probably won't. To be clear I ordered a meal that takes under 20 and my colleague (doesn't look like me) ordered a meal that takes over 20 mins. Just shame shame shame man Damn! read more

Great place to come. Still very reasonable for the quality of dishes you can get. We finished everything!!!

Rude, rude rude literally made a reservation got there on time. My entire party had not arrived within 5 minutes and they came up to me and said how much longer because we have this table reserved for the next party. I am sorry five minutes is too short of a window but even fifteen minutes would have been too soon. The restaurant was empty. It was absolutely the worst experience I have ever had. So the food OK, the portions very small but with poor service and attitudes we won't be back. We just have to note service sucks. Party of 12 here and we won't be back. read more

Great food and great service!!! Sirloin steak was perfectly cooked to medium rare. Dessert menu is awesome. We will definitely come back! read more

Not bad, however I'd like to have better dish descriptions the next time. My friend's rigatoni was far better than the fish I ordered, which was just okay. With a wait staff made up exclusively of men, Alex's offers a very genuine vibe. Although the personnel is not Italian, the cuisine is, and it's really good. Next time I'm in town, I'll do it again. The desserts were not my favorite but the food in general was delicious. BB read more

It was my first time there and the restaurant was very pretty. The list of specials was very impressive! We started off with mussels in white wine sauce and Alex's chopped salad. The mussels were plump and juicy in a wonderful garlicky sauce. The chopped salad was very unique, with green beans, bacon, roasted peppers and mozzarella. Served nice and cold, and lightly dressed. I'm still dreaming about this salad! For entrées, I ordered the calamari marinara and my friend ordered The lemon sole marechiara. I received a generous portion of calamari, extremely tender, in a thick marinara sauce. Just delicious. The sole was cooked correctly, with clams, calamari and mussels accompanying it. Loved it! There's nothing I didn't like about this restaurant! Service was impeccable, waiter was on top of everything. Bus boys were quick to replenish water and crumb the table. We were treated so well and I can't wait to go back and try dinner. It was an excellent lunch! read more

Placed in the corner of North Broadway and Fisher Ln in North White Plains, Alex's is an Albanian(?)-owned restaurant in North White Plains that's been serving really good Italian food for quite some time. We really like the location here- not only because it's Alex's- but because it holds sentimental value when hubs proposed 18 years ago and its previous restaurant was a New American spot, Sweetwaters. The menu consists of meats, Pasta, Seafood, etc and wine selections. There's no cocktail menu, so be on alert and let your server know your cocktail of choice. Both of our cocktails were STRONG. My 'Lemon Drop' was something out of this world and let me just say, just one, was enough to the job! On almost any given night B.C.(Before Corona), you could always get a good indication of how PACKED Alex's would be- because their parking lot would be filled to the gills. AD 2021, that upbeat atmosphere is still happening- socially-distant style. read more

Always excellent food and service! Truly a hidden gem in Westchester!! From Oysters Rockefeller and expertly Prepared Martinis to sizzling steaks this place does it all!! read more

I searched long and hard for a last minute reservation in Westchester County with great food and decor. I called Alex's BY PHONE the day before my visit, and he said, "Come on by around 7:45pm." I was immediately drawn to the non-complicated hospitality. My visit was absolutely perfect for three reasons: (1) The food is fantastic; (2) the Staff is very attentive; and, (3) the parking is EASY. (If you drive a really nice car that you want to protect, you'll like coming here). One thing to consider: The view is no-view, whatsoever. If you want to sit by the Hudson, this in not the place. If you want great food and a palatial dining room; do not think twice. This place is good-good. (By the way, they have TV's in the bar area if you're a fan of most sports). read more

We had a wonderful lunch. The service was amazing BUT the food was even better. I had the short rib and pasta special that melted in my mouth!!!! My husband had the veal chop special with prosciutto and cheese....he hasn't stopped talking about it! The management noticed I was a little cool and changed the temperature......what a pleasant surprise to have that wise observation. The portions were beyond generous. Thank you for an excellent experience read more

Really had a great meal here. I had a sefood fra diavlo with red snapper, shrimps, clams, and mussels. Very fresh and beautifully cooked. Highly recommend if in the area. Sat at the bar and watched the Knicks game also which was a plus! read more

Consistently great food and service. Never disappoints. We will continue to go for our special occasions and nights out.

My parents have been coming here for a while now and have always said good things. Tonight we went as a family, all 8 of us with 3 kids (all under 2) and had an amazing time. It's hard to go nice places as a large group, especially with little kids, but they were so accommodating and we got a nice back corner section which helped. Service was outstanding, food was delicious, and they didn't make you feel rushed at all. And you MUST TRY the Napoleon dessert. Best I've ever had! read more

This restaurant defines comfort as you cannot help but feel relaxed as your seated at your table. The place is old school Italian as the complementary parmigiano reggiano cheese and Italian meats arrive with fresh bread. The cozy decor with Sinatra playing in the background brings a smile to ones face. Alex's has many returning customers and you understand why. Many menu items have been selected here throughout the years. We have never had a disappointing meal at Alex's as our selections - while not outstanding - have been enjoyed. The ambiance and wonderful service plays a large part in your dining experience here. True Rating - ***1/2 read more

Went last weekend, this place is wonderful. From the service, to the food quality, to the general setting. 5 stars isn't enough. This is a hidden gem in white plains, much better then any of the places on main strip. Could not recommend more read more

Alex's Bar & Grill in White Plains is a favorite Italian restaurant of our close friends so we decided to try it last week. Although there was a Restaurant Week ongoing in White Plains, Alex's was not participating in it but we decided to go there nevertheless. I would rate the restaurant solid in all aspects- decor, food quality, service, and they have on-site parking which is almost always an issue when dining out in White Plains. The menu has the standard Italian favorites that you would expect plus many daily specials. The dishes were tasty and the portions were large and the service was caring and attentive. The short rib special over performed! The Chicken Scarp was above average. The bread is excellent. Value? I would say that it a bit expensive compared to other Italian restaurants in the area- but it is also a level above with items such as tablecloth service. $13 for dessert is a bit steep but since the six of us were sharing one dessert the service team was wise enough to send over an overside portion of very good apple strudel. That's the difference between ok and really good service levels. The overall experience was almost a throw back to the days of older style Italian restaurants- and I mean this is a good way. Will I be rushing back to Alex's Bar & Grill anytime soon? - perhaps not because there are just so many restaurants doing an identical menu that are closer to my residence. But, I also would not hesitate to go there again or to recommend this place to others. Very solid but not spectacular (see my review for Patricia's in the Bronx for spectacular). read more

Alex and his team are amazing. The food is beyond excellent and consistent! I should know since it's one of my favorite spots. They are happy to accommodate orders not on the menu. Great ambience, great people, great food!! read more

I've always wanted to try this place and heard great things. However, my experience was everything but. The lump crab had such a foul odor that I almost left immediately however, I gave it another chance and order the steak, which came out completely raw and had no flavor. The service and drinks were good, but the food was terrible. It's a good place for after work drink perhaps read more

We stopped here for "a quick lunch" as we made our way from Maine to New Orleans and we happened to find Alex's. Anthony was our server and he was outstanding. Just so pleasant and helpful with the menu. Our meals were excellent. read more

Went here with a fairly large group a few weeks ago. Service was spectacular! Constantly refilled waters and whatever we needed. Break was to kill for. The oil dip was delicious! All the food came out fresh and hot. There was a very very long wait time between the appetizers and entrees but understandable for such a long group. I personally for egg plant parm with a side of penne alla vodka. The eggplant could have been more crispy. The penne all vodka was delicious and the sauce was nice and think. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Only complain was red sauce was very sweet. All seafood appetizers came out nice and fresh. I've never had a lot of this seasfood before and I thought it was delicious! read more

The food here is great however i have been met with a man (maybe the owner or the manager) who had a bit of an attitude upon entry. the last time i went there my food took a while to come and i even had to remind them about it and by the time it came i had to wrap it up to go ad i had already been there for about two hours. i would love to come back but things like that are kind of a dealbreaker. read more

Very good with the staff friendly and helpful! I didn't wait long for my food which was very good !

Went to Alex's tonight to celebrate my Wife's 50th. We were greeted by the Owner Alex walking in and also leaving. A nice touch. I had Eggplant parmigiana which was excellent. My wife had Veal Milanese also excellent. We shared oysters casino they were so good, the best. We also shared a cannoli which was fresh. Waiter and service top notch. Quiet and intimate. We will definitely be back. Returned for Valentine's Day for scallops and seafood over pasta fra diavolo. My favorite restaurant for seafood. A hidden gem Returned 8/13/18 You can tell from updated photos. That the consistency of the same fresh seafood over linguini Is exactly the same. Always fresh always the best. Service is also the be Returned 4/18/19 To try some new dishes. Grilled Salmon. Very tender and flaky. My Mother loved it I have been going to Alex's for years never had steak there or shrimp cocktail. Tried both today. Filet mignon prepared perfect. Shrimp fresh and delicious.homemade Italian cheesecake very fresh. Creme brûlée my Mother loved.Excellent prepared perfect. Staff exceptional like always! read more

My favorite place to meet with my family for dinner! You can blindly pick items from the menu and I guarantee you'll enjoy it. The service is friendly yes, but very personable as well - which makes coming back again and again so enjoyable! My favorites to end the meal are always tough - do I go with the home made Napoleon, bread pudding, or both? (I get both!) thank you to Alex for such a pleasure to every visit! read more

The staff goes above and beyond to provide a memorable service. The steak is the best in westchester. The desserts are delectable. I would recommend everyone eat here for an amazing experience and great drinks as well. The environment in the restaurant provides amazing ambiance. read more

My husband and I went to Alex's last night for dinner, and I have to say, the entire experience was OUTSTANDING! Alex, himself, greeted us at the door and seated us when we were ready after having a drink at the bar. We started with the fried calamari, which was prepared perfectly and the accompanying sauce, I wanted to drink all by itself. The best red sauce I have ever tasted. We also shared the asparagus with cheese in a lemon sauce; delicious. I had the bone in rib eye steak medium rare. Unbelievably delicious. So big I took most of it home for another meal. It came with assorted vegetables of roasted potatoes, string beans and carrots ... so perfectly cooked and presented. My hubby had the special of sautéed soft shell crabs, that he practically licked his plate clean as he couldn't get enough. This was absolutely a delicious and delightful experience everyone should try at least once. Dining at Alex's is not our first time, and it certainly won't be our last. OUTSTANDING! read more

Wait Service decent The place feels antique but comforting but might not be sexy and appealing compared to the modern and youthful places nowadays. Food, Calamari Marinera; Big portions, soaked in sauces. Flavor slightly overpowered by the sauce, and brand. Overall food is 5/10. Dessert: Cake Pudding 8/10, very delicious and well presented. Place recently quiet due to COVID, however, most of the clientele is generally mid age. Prices standard Overall, it would be a place I would visit again but mostly for the dessert. read more

Haven't been here for a couple of years (Covid). Went here on Saturday and the food and service was amazing. Our host Alex assured we had a great meal(veal was delicious) and had an overall culinary experience. I highly recommend Alex's. 5 Stars. read more

Alex himself greeted my 3 friends and I. we were a party of 5 originally on our reservation. en route to restaurant a friend cx. we arrived and Alex, the owner was the rudest, most uninviting person I have ever met. He expressed he was angry that now we were only a party of 4 and he has to make money. He was outright belligerent, quite frankly terrifyingly angry. He came to our table and proceeded to argue very loudly. I shared how his behavior was an unacceptable and a disgrace and that if it wasn't 2 degrees out we would find another place to go. He responded,"leave, I don't care leave." How dare he behave in such a manner to 4 grown woman. with that said, I will not return and do not recommend this restaurant. read more
