A previous lunch visit, however, was extremely pleasant with a server who went out of his way to accommodate our large group. On this Monday evening, the moon and the stars were aligned, and the great server gods blessed us with a young woman who made up for all previous mishaps. She offered several suggestions from the appetizer menu and was very knowledgeable about wine selections. It was tasty and good for sharing. Two I've tried and enjoyed are the Loaded Baked Potato and the Chicken and Pasta, both creamy and filling.
All salads come with a fresh baked croissant, drizzled with sweet vanilla icing.
J. Alexander's is, however, known for its beef. Several orders sailed by during our dinner. I had enjoyed the selection at lunch previously and craved it again this visit. However, I was disappointed that the salmon was under-cooked for my taste, even after I requested it to be cooked completely through. The orzo and wild rice salad is a delicious and different side.
