Had a wonderful time in this fancy, cosy, elegant and stylish restaurant. It was really fascinating to see so many young staff running the place like professionals and being so polite and engaging with customers. You will definitely get the family and friends vibe and feelings when talking to these magnificent people. I will definitely be coming back because of this.
Fabulous! We visited as a family group for the Christmas menu, food quality and service were exceptional. The staff were so friendly and attentive, asked regularly if we needed any more drinks etc We had a disabled member of our party, staff assisted by moving furniture to make our table more accessible and placed a ramp over the steps at the entrance to assist us. Overall a fantastic dining experience
I keep giving this place another chance because it’s in such a lovely setting but leave disappointed every-time. The first time I visited I ordered steak and the kitchen refused to make a sauce to go with it, I gave feedback to management and they agreed that making a sauce shouldn’t have need a problem, we were offered free cocktails on our next visit to compensate but wernt able to redeem them because of Covid. The second time we visited was summer ‘22. I ordered prawns which came covered in eggs and when I say covered, I mean COVERED! I raised this and the waitress was quite rude and told me that it did state in the small print on the menu that they may contain eggs due to it being breeding season. I checked the menu and this wasn’t the case, they simply just hadn’t been washed. Last night we attended the Off Piste experience, this was something we were really looking forward to and had been for a while. The table wasn’t ready when we arrived and we had to wait 15mins at the bar which originally wasn’t a problem. The ‘alpine lodge’ was lovely inside but freezing cold as there was an open doorway. Some items were missing from the set menu and we wernt given any explanation until we asked why we hadn’t been brought certain things. Food was ok but poor value for money, it was supposed to be a 5 course tasting menu… the soup was lovely as was the salmon. Bratwurst were really salty and potato rosti was rock hard and tasteless. The alpine pizza was tiny and had a part of it cut off when it was served (this was supposed to feed 5 people). Cheese fondue was watery and not warm enough and the ‘ mini croque monsieur’ was just toast with a bit of ham and cheese inside. Part way through the fourth course, which had come out at the kitchens pace, we were given a 30min warning that they needed the table back at 19:20 and told we were welcome to take desert home in a box. I explained that we were late to the table as it wasn’t ready, the food had come out slowly through no fault of our own and at £55 per head we most certainly would not be taking desert home in a box! Overall disappointing experience, bill was almost £400 and we all left dissatisfied.
I have eaten here on a few occasions with my family but this will be my last. The service is aways amazing as is tye ambience but they have become so over priced that I can't justify spending my money here in the future. This meal, for my birthday, cost £25.00, yes £25.00,for some dried peas and a tiny portion, there was more plate than food. The sauce wasn't included , I asked for that as it was so dry. I can no longer recommend Alexander's.
Delicious food, beautiful interior, great attentive service. I got the pistachio / mushroom pasta which was SO SO good and reminiscent of my visits to Italy. For dessert I ordered the pear sticky toffee pudding, (without the rum crème) which was delicious! We also had a bake to take away, pictured in the first photo. We ate on the terrace, the heaters made it enjoyable.
