About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Great for fine wines
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!

    Alexander's is a one of kind restaurant where it's a pleasure eating there from beginning to end. I was greated and given a warm welcome by a friendly yet distinguished host. He took me to my table located in its elegant yet relaxing main dining room. My host was very kind and graceful, remembering me from the last time I dined there and thanking me for having returned. The food was exquisite. I had BBQ Shrimp together with French bread and butter as appetizer. Followed by a house salad an then the main entrée of Filet Gorgonzola cooked medium rare. To end I had coffee and a Dark chocolate Tart for dessert. The wonderful cuisine, amazing service, and attractive atmosphere once again created a memorable experience. One that I will always remember and cherish dearly.

    Alexanders is a quiet place in the heart of Roanoke to have a phenomenal experience. Ambiance is peaceful without having other diners stacked nearby. Timing of staff visits was spot on. The food was flavorful and well presented. Outstanding choice for romantic dinner or a business dinner. Worthy of a Michelin Star.

    In the Roanoke area we have a lot of allergy issues that restaurants must deal with. The latest [Alpha-gal which I have] is one of the fastest growing in the mid-Atlantic states. Alexanders not only has terrific food, they are genuinely committed to caring for any reasonable requests and accommodations for allergies. Great food, great service and consideration for unique needs of diners put them at the top of my dining list.

    Wonderful experience as always. Each dish had unique flavors and was creatively prepared. All employees were professional, kind and attentive. All restaurants should aspire to what Alexander’s delivers consistently. And there is only one Alexander’s. We will be back.

    We had such a great experience at Alexander’s. The vibe was classy but comfortable, and the staff made us feel really welcome. The food was delicious—beautifully plated and full of flavor. The kitchen puts a lot of care into every dish. Great wine options too! Perfect spot for a date night or any special occasion. We’ll definitely be back!
