J. Alexander's - WEST BLOOMFIELD

Bravo Brooklyn! (server). Very kind, considerate professional. Yeah Brooklyn! The trout was super too. My birthday. Did I say server Brooklyn was very attentive?

I have been to this restaurant I. The past but I wasn't doing reviews at the time. I recently went back and ordered the Pecan Encrusted Trout. The food has always been pretty good. I believe the fish may has been slightly overcooked but the crust was there. The fish lacked the flakiness because it was seared too hard. The flavor was on point however. It was topped with a mustard sauce. The sauce was okay but I could have thought of some other sauce that may have complimented the fish better. The drinks were good and the carrit cake was great! I would go back again although I just learned their name will be changing to Redland Grill? Ummm, not as classy as J. Alexander but they have their reasons. Go check out one of their signature dishes of the smoked salmon salad...yummy! I order that everytime I come here.

My boss took me to congratulatory lunch, we ordered a appetizer and 2 entrees. The appetizers being the shrimp was really good. However I ordered the half of chicken and both pieces were raw. I sent it back to be remade, had them make it to go since our lunch time was up. I figured I could reheat later for dinner. When I went to heat up and eat it later, both pieces of chicken were undercooked in thr middle. So disappointed!! Won't return to this location most likely. Service great, food undercooked.

Fries were pretty good. But thats the only good thing i can say. Very very cold inside. I was so uncomfortable. Got our food before silverware. Had to ask for them. I ordered a steak medium and it came back over well. So dry. Sent back and it came back medium well. Very tasteless. Seemed they didnt season it at all. Not even with salt or pepper. Not to mention, way over priced. Personally a waste of time and money.

Their Grilled Chicken Salad is delicious and one of my favorites. I like to get it chopped and tossed. They also have a mouth watering carrot cake that they serve warm. Service is good and restaurant clean.
