Alexandra's Restaurant - American restaurant in Ellicott City - 2700 Turf Valley Rd, USA

I wanted to treat my wife to a nice dinner for her birthday and chose to go to Alexandra’s from the many other choices that we have nearby. We arrived for an early dinner at 5:30, were seated and greeted by our server about a minute later. We ordered drinks and appetizers, cream of crab soup and shrimp cocktail. The soup was very good and had the perfect amount of crab meat. Portion size was good as well. The shrimp cocktail was nothing special. It contained only 4 pieces of shrimp and could have been presented better. Perhaps a bit of crushed ice in the glass to sit the cocktail sauce on. Also I think that it should have had 5 pieces of shrimp instead of 4. My wife ordered the Spicy Honey Garlic Shrimp Stir Fry and I ordered the 16oz ribeye . Both arrived in a reasonable amount of time and were presented nicely on the plates. My wife enjoyed her shrimp but found the red chili a bit too strong. Luckily the chili was presented on the side of the plate which allowed her to only use a small bit of it to spice her shrimp up a little. Overall she said that her meal was very good and had the perfect portion of shrimp to rice. As for my ribeye, it looked nice, tender and juicy. Well I was disappointed as soon as I tried to cut into it. It was cooked to medium rare as I requested but was on the tough side. It appeared to be a choice cut of beef but for the price that I paid, $42, I would expect a prime cut instead. It wasn’t seasoned in any way but was eatable after applying a bit of salt and pepper. I ate it but it wasn’t very happy with it. For desert we chose the Peach Cardamom Crisp which was extremely good with fresh peach slices and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Overall the dining experience was good but not exceptional for the price that I paid. Cocktails, appetizers, entrees and desert ran about $125, which was a bit high for the quality which I will only rate our dining experience at no more than 4 stars.

Been here a few times. Food and service is pretty good. Love the brisket nachos and the chicken sandwich. Good selection of wine and beers on tap. Ambience is great, both inside and outside seating. Still have yet to try their Brunch!

This review is for the Sunday Brunch only. The wait staff is pleasant and attentive. The station chefs omelette carvery and pasta were excellent. Wait staff kept the Mimosas coming, however I was very disappointed in the food. Our reservation was 11:30 the chafing dishes were not keeping anything hot "at all"! Belgian Waffle was cold as was the sausage which has a really good flavor but cold. Potatoes were cold. Desserts looked better than they tasted. They were too sweet and they had been sitting around too long whipped cream settled into to a rubbery topping. However the Bourbon bread pudding was hot and delicious. The shrimp were good the Pasta was good. My omelet was okay. The items for the kids were old and cold chicken tenders were awful potatoe tots. I was disappointed because this was Turf Valley however the cost was only $40. As well the menu was somewhat limited in my opinion having been to many Sunday Brunch. Please get the hot water in the chafing dishes $.

Went here for dinner with my family and we loved the food. Our server was Alex, he was very nice and took great care of us! My one issue is that we got the cease salad and, the chicken breast on the salad had a fist taste. I'm unsure if they did not clean it properly or what. 9.5/10 just because of the chicken tasting like fish.

Ordered room service right from my cellphone which made it super easy and convenient. Breakfast was absolutely incredible! Super fast service brought right to your door. French toast was perfect, fruit was fresh and the potatos were just amazing. Biscuits and gravy were pretty good too!!

Food absolutely not worth the wait. Took an hour and ten minutes after we ordered for the main course to come out. I ordered the brisket and fries. The fries were pretty good but the brisket was some of the worst I have ever seen. Basically burnt chunks (see attached photos). The server basically ignored us for the hour we were waiting for food. My wife got the 5 ounce steak and her coworker got the 10 ounce steak and there is no way the 5 ounce steak was half the size of the other steak. Maybe a third if we are being generous. She described the steak as unseasoned and tasteless. Not sure why our experience doesn't match the other people's reviews but I can't ever recommend eating here.

Thanks for ruining my friend’s birthday brunch. Reservations were made weeks in advance, and then cancelled last minute via email. When we tried to reschedule, both the host and the manager were very rude and unwilling to help accommodate.

We had our rehearsal dinner here 1 year ago. The staff and food is phenomenal. We are back again for our 1 year anniversary and the experience is just as good. Definitely a must!
