Chandeliers are verdigris, and the posies on tables are fresh. Soft classical music plays in the background. The restaurant's bisque is one of the best in town, intensely flavored from long simmering. My guest's veggie soup was a far cry from the bland stuff in the familiar red and white can. A wide variety of vegetables was chopped chunky-style, in a rich broth.
Soups are definitely a forte.
Alexander's offers numerous options. Salad lovers will be particularly dazzled, but heartier fare is available, too. We highly recommend both. A thick slice of meaty portobello formed the base of the mushroom Napoleon, followed by layers of sliced eggplant, roasted red pepper, mozzarella cheese, tomato and basil. It arrived perched prettily on a bed of baby lettuce.
