   Alexanders is a real gem and has been around for over 45 years. We were engaged here, 45 years ago.. a lot of great memories and the service and food are fantastic.

   We have been to Alexander’s many times and have always had a good experience. Never inexpensive but always enjoyable. This last time though the service was poor. After our waiter took our order we never saw him again until the check came, the mussels recipe has changed from a lovely broth to what tasted like jar tomato sauce with a few capers tossed in. Thick and unappealing. I hope they change it back to what it was. Lastly we asked about a couple bottles of wine, our server said he couldn’t comment and when asked if someone else could advise us he just suggested something they served by the glass that he was familiar with. Again, disappointing.

   We ordered Oysters on the halve shell, and Alexander’s cooked Oysters. The raw Oysters were fresh, delicious, and large. I found the cocktail sauce to be especially tasty. Not the usual cocktail sauce I have ordered at other restaurants. I am not sure what “special” ingredient was that they added to that mixture. The cooked oysters were also delicious. I thought the cheese on the oysters would mask the taste of the oysters, but to the contrary, the cheese seemed to enhance the flavor. I ordered Shrimp and Grits, and my husband ordered the Blackened Snapper. The shrimp and Grits dish was rich, cheesy, and contained a generous amount of shrimp. The Blackened Snapper was beautifully cooked and the bed of rice, collard greens, and raisins was an unusual and sweet accompaniment. Oh yes, we also ordered salads. House salad for me, and the Caesar for my husband. The greens were crispy and cold. Both of us thought the dressings of blue cheese and Caesar, could have been a bit stronger tasting. Alexander’s might be our favorite restaurant on Hilton Head Island.

   Service was the difference as we had a younger child who needed extra help in terms of ordering for her early, switching a high chair out, etc. Food was excellent in all courses, too!

   Sadly this place is seriously under staffed they’d do better to block some tables and provide decent service. We sat at the bar for a pre- dinner drink and never got to order Food was so-so. Our prime rib was tough and without any effort at presentation. There are no acoustic baffles and you could hear loud groups in the bar from the dining room. Not a good choice for a special night.

   A restaurant that seems to overlook doing the little things right. Ordered the low country crab soup and it was delivered by a team member without a spoon. Had to wait a few minutes to grab someone’s attention. Filet mignon entree delivered without a steak knife. Again had to wait to get someone’s attention. Food was good but when you don’t do the basics right you gotta wonder what goes on in the kitchen.

   Hello Switters. We certainly apologize for the oversights during your visit and will make sure this is discussed with the staff so more attention is paid to the small things. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

    Alexander’s is a fantastic establishment! Their cocktail and wine list are truly terrific! The entrees are always good! We had a new server who forgot our oysters and lingered a bit too long for a table of two friends looking to catch up. Otherwise everything was great and we will definitely be back.
