    4 years since my last review? Definitely time to update! My older reviews still hold true so…read moreplease see those as well. We always come here when in town and it's always delicious. This is what I'd refer to as an upscale supper club. They make a great old fashioned and you have your choice of a dinner salad or cup of soup with all entrees. Most entrees come with a protein, au gratin potatoes and the vegetables of the day. I usually get either the whitefish or the duck. On this visit I had the whitefish and it was absolutely delicious. It was perfectly cooked and simply prepared with lemon and butter which is exactly what goes with really fresh whitefish. They serve it with a side of tartar sauce...but I'd never do that to this lovely fish, so just left that alone. The potatoes and vegetables were good as always. Desserts are all made in house except for the key lime pie which is actually flown in from Florida. I love all their desserts, but went with the key lime pie which was amazing. They also have boozy ice cream drinks if you prefer a drinkable dessert. Service is always excellent with a good number of servers who have been with Alexander's for many years. Definitely make a reservation if you want to dine here. It's popular for a good reason.

    We were really looking forward to a special birthday celebration here and we were disappointed that…read moredespite informing the hostess of the birthday, it was never acknowledged, mentioned, or celebrated with a desert. Very odd. The server was also not very informative when asked questions about the menu. The salads were good but nothing special. It would be nice if they had a cherry salad dressing? The biggest disappointment were the main courses. The seafood vol-au-vent served the lobster in its shell at the bottom of a soup like concoction. It was very difficult to eat without diving in the soup with your fingers. The bottom of the puff pastry was a soggy mess at the bottom of the bowl. Having said that the lobster cream "soup" had a nice flavor. This dish would be much improved if it was served on a plate with the sauce over the seafood rather than swimming it in a bowl. The sides were inedible! The green beans were gross, overcooked, and limp with a strong taste. The potatoes were a bland pasty dish. I substituted the wild rice and it again had no flavor whatsoever. Please offer a baked potato rather than the pasty, cold, potato mixture. The scallop dish was generous with six or seven scallops in each of our orders however, there was absolutely no pesto whatsoever. In fact, there was no seasoning at all just bland breadcrumbs. I added the cream "soup" from my sister's vol-au-vent to add flavor. Again this dish would have been so much better if they had simply grilled the scallops and added butter and lemon. The setting itself was nice with beautiful flowers outside the windows however, beware it did get very noisy. I hope a few "tweaks" are made to the seafood menu. It could be so much better. I would have to see a few updates to the menu before trying this restaurant again.

    This was a delightful venue for our most recent Door County dinner. The place is fancifully…read moredecorated in medieval English tradition with knights about the premises and castle-like decor and I really enjoyed that. The place is huge, and has 4 distinct dining areas and a capacity of 400 guests. The 4 areas include the popular and extensive patio area, a lower dining room by their bar, a large upper main dining room, and another upper level dining area (where we sat) with a view of the patio. Corinne was our friendly, attentive, and capable veteran server with 17 years experience here. Wife ordered their breaded grouper with mashed potatoes. It went for $39.95 and included a traditional French onion soup without cheese. I had their queen sized prime rib for $44.95 and it included a cherry spinach salad and rice pilaf. It was a nice medium rare as expected and it was all delicious and filling for both the wife and myself. The dishes were quite good values when considering the portion sizes and the quality of the mains and the sides. I also had a delightful Wisconsin Old Fashioned for a very reasonable $8.25! Apparently they also offer a Wisconsin Old Fashioned with a premium brandy that goes for $13.50, but the $8.25 version was delicious and plenty good enough for me and it packed a punch too btw. It really wasn't that busy for a Saturday night and the food came out readily. It felt like throughout our visit this weekend that vacation traffic was not at expected summer peaks and the pro-tip in theory here is that the first weekend in June is typically not as busy as school has just let out and families aren't in vacation swing just yet. We really enjoyed the quaint and colorful venue along with the good value dinner and I would not hesitate to return except that there are so many other restaurants to try up here!

    Food was excellent - cool, old timey atmosphere and friendly service too! We went for dinner during…read moreopening weekend for a bachelorette and were able to text ahead to get a reservation. Loved that! Highly recommend the spinach salad and artichoke dip for starters.
