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!

    Whenever we are in Roanoke, we visit Alexander's. Best restaurant in the area with great food and outstanding service. They also recommend an interesting wine for each entree that is not the usual run of the mill white or red. We have been coming here for many years and will be sure to return. Highly recommend.

    We are fortunate to be able to dine at Alexander's pretty regularly. Last night our food was so good and the service so flawless we had to remind each other what a special place it is. We had the barbecue shrimp appetizer, halibut, and mixed grill, cocktails and wine. What a wonderful evening! Highly recommend anyone considering Alexander's to make that reservation and go!

    Date night a Alexanders is always a treat. We had been away since January and our absence was noticed. The entire team welcomed us back and provided us with another delightful evening. The food is always the star. The supporting cast of cocktails and ambiance excel. Alexanders is a special place here in the Star City.
