About Alexander's Restaurant & Lounge - steak house in Ventura, California

Customer Review Summary

Alexander's Restaurant & Lounge is highly praised for its brunch offerings. The outdoor patio dining is a favorite among guests celebrating special occasions. A Mother's Day buffet received rave reviews for its high-quality and fresh food selection, coupled with attentive service. Though the food is generally seen as average, the variety of meal styles and reasonable portion sizes are appreciated. Parking costs $11 for the first two hours and $5 for any additional hour. Despite having reservations, some guests experienced a short wait. The atmosphere is aesthetically pleasing but can get crowded and loud, attracting a status-oriented crowd. Service is consistently noted as friendly and accommodating. Signature dishes like clam chowder and fish and chips come highly recommended. Overall, the restaurant is considered an excellent choice for brunch, offering a diverse menu that includes seafood, egg dishes, waffles, desserts, and more. However, a recent over-the-phone experience for room service revealed some gaps in menu knowledge, prompting suggestions for alternative dining options. Many clubs and groups also choose this venue for special events, highlighting its popularity for gatherings.

Absolutely great for a brunch outing with friends and family. We celebrated my mother in law's birthday and we all loved the out door patio dining. So much to choose from go with an appetite. Try the Mimosas unlimited refills with your meal. $30.00 per person, well worth it. Give em a whirl. 😋

My hubby made a reservation for the Mother's Day brunch buffet...one of the best I've ever had! Food selection was awesome and everything was high quality and fresh. The servers were very attentive and kept our glasses full as well! Would love to come back next year!

Service was fantastic. Food was generally average, with each meal being a reasonable size. The selection however was quite good, offering a variety of styles and types of meals. The seating offered is not too bad, both indoors and outdoors with quite nice views.

Parking: meter and valet $11 for first 2 hours $5 for any additional hour Reservation: we had a reservation and still waited 15ish mins. They apologized but heads up if you make a reservation you may still have to wait. Employees: nice and welcoming Food & drinks: good and they have a bottomless option for brunch Decor: aesthetically pleasing Crowd: VERY status oriented. Ppl taking photos for the gram left and right - even standing on chairs to get their photo and the restaurant itself gets pretty loud

Food was great, servers were especially kind and clearly wanted you to have a good time. Would recommend the clam chowder, fish and chips and 4 points pretzel. Buy the bowl - it's ~2x as much chowder as the cup for 40% more money

Fabulous! So many choices! Seafood, egg dishes, waffles, desserts, pasta, salad, everything you could possibly imagine! The service was excellent and a beautiful setting. Do not miss this brunch!

My review is based off the over the phone experience I encountered. As a guest at the onsite Four Points hotel I called down for room service, which is offered sometimes. The host was friendly, however had no clue what the new menu entailed and was hesitant to search for vegetarian options. Its disappointing, as this restaurant has great reviews, but appears to be under new management and a whole new menu. I reccomend using postmates or grubhub and eating elsewhere.

Our Corvette Club always has Xmas brunch here. Wonderful selection & great food. Definitely recommend for Sunday brunch any weekend
