    CARROT CAKE
    Katie F.

    I have found my new favorite restaurant. Wow. Every single bite was enjoyable. The sauce on the brassiere chicken... I could have drank it

    Calamari
    Jenny A.

    I don't know how we have lived in the area for 10 years and this was our first trip to J Alexander's. First the service was awesome. Parker our waiter was friendly, helpful and made sure we felt special on our first visit. In addition every person who walked by assessed the table and took care of our needs (water, refills, clears plates etc). That teamwork made the experience even better. The restaurant itself was cozy and relaxing with a great ambiance. The food was excellent! Probably the best calamari I've ever had, steak cooked perfect and what a yummy espresso martini then to top it all off the carrot cake was to die for. We will definitely be back.

    They have Rattlesnake pasta on the menu for good now!!! Awesome!!!! Love it ! It's a delicious dish! And with toast! You won't be disappointed!

    CARROT CAKE
    Jamie M.

    I forgot how good j Alexander used to be.. well every-thing was amazing! The ribs were coming straight off the bone.. the slaw just right and who doesn't love show string fries!? The carrot cake was served warm!! Sooo good! Shot out to our server Tyler, he was amazing answering all of our questions and served us with smile!

    Martini and side car

    A real pleasant alternative to the top tier priced steak houses around here. The feel wood interior makes dining cost (even still used a real candle). Drinks are generous and meat cooked over wood fire is I think unique style in the area. Wait Staff are Friendly without being intrusive. Be sure to make reservations because even on Tuesday they are near full by 6pm (we went at 5 to get ahead of the dinner crowd).

    Absolutely a solid choice with a great diverse menu with steaks and sush. Great beer and contail menu and superior table service especially from Mary. A can't miss dining experience.

    Firecracker Roll
    Taylor V.

    Came here for lunch and the place was BUSY. However the ambiance was perfect. The service was exceptional- we had Nick and he took excellent care of us by recommending his persona favorites and continuing to give us top quality care while we dined. The cocktails were great, the firecracker roll was insane- I had low expectations and now I haven't stopped thinking about it, it was perfect. Then we shared the Prime Rib. Cooked to perfection- we paired it with the carrots as they were the vegetable of the day ( I wouldn't order them again) and the Mac and cheese. I don't even like Mac and cheese but this was so good. Will definitely be back!

    1/2 French Dip and fries
    Rochelle V.

    My first time here. Visiting for a week in CO and my friend said they had good French dips so we went for lunch. Probably in the top 3 of all French dips I've ever had. They definitely do not skimp on the meat, and it's cooked perfectly...slightly rare just how it should be. The fries were also excellent. Thin and crispy. The photo you are seeing is half of the sandwich and half of the fries, very large portions! Service was friendly and quick, our waiter Brian was very attentive.

    Veggie burger
    Kaitlin C.

    Service was absolutely exceptional and very attentive. The key lime pie was the star of the show (coming from someone that doesn't even like KLP). We had to take an extra piece home! The veggie burger was not for me... the housemade patty was very sweet and felt over fried/greasy. I like more veggie forward burgers so this might be a good swap for someone that usually eats meat though! There is a large parking lot out front.

The space is fun, kind of an old school dark/black place punctuated by mirrors and bright art. The menu had what appeared to be many good choices, not only steaks, burgers, etc, but also some Greek and Mexican options. It took a while for us to decide from among them. Maceo ordered a gin and tonic. First hint that all would not be well with the meal. The g&t was warm. A little ice, but thoroughly warm. And it didn't taste either very gin-like, though Maceo had ordered top shelf, nor very tonic-y. One of the worst g&ts we've ever had. And expensive. I ordered the Ten Burger, which included mushrooms and onions. I asked for the burger to be cooked medium rare. Maceo ordered the Philly Steak. It took a very long time for our meals to come out. The place was nearly empty, only two other tables of patrons, but we waited and waited and waited. When the food finally appeared, it was room temperature/cold, as if it had sat waiting for a long while before being taken to the table. The Philly Steak was cold. And not only cold, but in sitting it had lost its juices, so the entire sandwich was dry. The steak itself was cooked nicely, and was tender. The sandwich probably would have been tasty had it been served while still piping hot. Though I had ordered my burger medium rare, it came out very well done. Exceedingly well done. Thoroughly gray nothingness. And the fries were cold. With tip we ended up spending $105 on this meal. We feel very silly. And we also feel sad, because we were hoping that Steakhouse 10 would be an excellent place that would become our new regular spot when visiting Englewood.

The atmosphere is fantastic--sophisticated yet incredibly welcoming--but the food and service are what truly set this place apart. Our server, Shannon, was absolute perfection. She was over the top with her kindness and went out of her way to make sure every accommodation was met. Service like hers is rare and made the night feel truly special. The Food: * The Steaks: We had the Filet Mignon (served over savory mushrooms) and the Bone-In Ribeye. Both were cooked to a flawless sear, incredibly tender, and topped with a rich compound butter that took them to the next level. * The Sides: You have to try the Jalapeño Creamed Corn. It's velvety, sweet, and has the perfect hint of heat. We also loved the fresh shrimp and balsamic-glazed avocado salad. * Dessert: We finished with the Strawberry Cheesecake on a chocolate crust. It was the perfect, decadent end to a beyond-delicious meal. Between the world-class steaks and the legendary hospitality from Shannon, Manning's is a 10/10. Do yourself a favor and check it out!

Asked for medium rare- it was burnt/black on the outside and completely tasteless on the inside. It was super oily as well and lots of fat on it.

Service was extremely slow even though they weren't busy. We waited around after we finished eating- for 15 minutes until I gave up and went and asked someone to ask our server for the check. I remember eating here once before many years ago but I forgot to review. I did remember it was about the same quality of food and service. Now I am documenting it and reminding my future self (and others?) to not come back!

As Texas transplants, we've enjoyed some incredible steakhouses over the years and have traveled extensively, but this was truly one of the best dining experiences we've had. We even drove up from Colorado Springs for our 18th wedding anniversary, and it was worth every mile. We started with the wedge salad, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor--easily one of the best wedge salads we've ever had. The warm bread service was incredible and paired perfectly with the house-made spreads. The mac and cheese was rich, creamy, and absolutely unforgettable. The highlight of the evening was the Wagyu steak topped with cheesy potato croquettes. It was cooked to perfection and so tender it practically melted in your mouth. Every bite was packed with incredible flavor and was one of those dishes you continue talking about long after the meal is over. What impressed us most was that every single item we ordered was exceptional. The quality of the ingredients, attention to detail, presentation, atmosphere, and service were all top-notch. After reading some of the reviews beforehand, we weren't sure what to expect. In our experience, this restaurant is incredibly underrated.

Pair that with a white wine and you got yourself a time. The 2 course offering for lunch is also phenomenal. I got the Insalata Mista (lettuce, shallot, reggiano) and it's a decent sized salad and very tasty. The Mafaldine (lamb ragu, pecorino romano) is to die for. Such great flavor and the pasta is always cooked perfectly. The service here is always top-notch too. The staff is very well-trained and is on top of everything. Truly a well-oiled machine. The atmosphere here is impeccable too. You can tell that everything was thought of for a great experience: lighting, table layout, decor, etc. It is a great place to bring a significant other, business customers, etc. I cannot wait for my next visit to Tavernetta and I was just there a few hours ago!
