Alexander's is an oasis for award winning cuisine, wine, and craft cocktails. Over the years we've twice been awarded the Open Table Top 100 in the US restaurant designation and in 2018, Southern Living Magazine named us one of the Ten Most Romantic Restaurants in the South. Focusing on superb ingredients; fish, seafood, prime quality Virginia aged meats, and locally sourced organic produce, our cuisine showcases years of collaboration among some of the most talented chefs of our region. You'll be served in an atmosphere filled with romance, sophistication, modern & vintage jazz. It's old world charm with new world flavors!
Built in the 1880s as Roanoke's first office supply company, our vintage building has been transformed into a retro chic rendition of the classic urban restaurants of our great culinary cities. The art, furnishings, lighting, and mirrors are all found pieces of Roanoke's rich architectural history. So relax and let's start making your memories at Alexanders!

Exceptional, as always. I have been dining here for 27 years and the quality of service, food and drinks is the best. The side salad always surprises me how they make such simple ingredients taste so wonderful - same goes for the dessert! My favorites are the filet and shrimp etoufee, but their seasonal special that my friend had last night shrimp with tomatoes and corn was also so delicious. Bonnie, Kelly and Bjorn always make me feel like I am coming to see family. Truly the best place around!

The bbq shrimp appetizer is out of this world delicious! It’s not what you think of as bbq.its a buttery peppery deliciousness. Sooo good! I got a shrimp entree and my husband ordered the lamb porterhouse. Both were very good. Alexander’s is one of the few restaurants that still serves warm crusty bread and butter! Our entrees also came with a dinner salad, potatoes and seasonal vegetables. Service is excellent and food is fabulous. The chocolate hazelnut torte for dessert capped off a perfect birthday dinner!

Alexander's Restaurant is our favorite Roanoke restaurant, period. The food, the staff, the ambience, and the location are beyond 5 stars. We travel a lot but it is always a pleasure to come home to Alexander's. Bart & Lynn Wilner
