Last Friday, I had the honor of hosting the rehearsal dinner before my son's wedding at Alexander's. We had dinner for 25, and cocktails after for lots of guests. The food was fabulous and the evening was a great success. Accolades to Sean Anderson and his team for making this a wonderful evening. The private room that opened to the patio was a great setting for the dinner.

Wow. Just wow. Alexander's Steakhouse in Pasadena exceeded every expectation and then some. If you're looking for top-tier dining and a flawless steakhouse experience, this is the place. I went here to celebrate my birthday, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to ring in another year. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by an attentive and friendly staff, who made us feel like VIPs. The atmosphere is sleek and modern, yet still cozy enough for a relaxed evening. It's upscale, but not pretentious. We started with a Caesar salad, which was fresh and perfectly dressed. For the main course, I got the filet mignon (so tender) and the 28 oz ribeye (cooked perfectly, with incredible flavor). Both steaks were on another level. We also had the mac and cheese, and it was rich and creamy--definitely a must-try. For dessert, we had the cheesecake (which was rich and decadent) and cotton candy. Both were a perfect ending to a fantastic meal Service was top-notch--attentive without being overbearing. I can't wait to go back. If you're looking for a top-tier steakhouse, this is the place!

Had an amazing date night here! The wait staff is incredibly attentive. Prices are going to be higher than one would normally pay due to the high quality of the food and the staff. There's a gigantic selection of alcohol and spirits and wine. We had the uni toast, oysters, a Cesar salad, baby broccolini, Mac and cheese, Australian ribeye and filet mignon. The bread and butter were amazing. Don't think I've ever had better bread and butter, one of the pieces was made with squid ink. The chef also gave us a complimentary cucumber "bite" salad. The staff didn't mind we wanted a window seat viewing the church courtyard even though they were placing people in the room past the kitchen and bathroom areas. We finished with the creme brûlée and they even gave us a pink cotton candy they made in house!

Very fancy and elegant steakhouse! Food and service were both very good Parking can be difficult since they don't have their own parking lot but there are nearby parking structures and street parking Very dim and romantic inside so perfect spot for date nights! Service was very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Pricing was on the pricier side so expect to pay $50-$100+ The Grilled Octopus ($30) was pretty good. Very flavorful and delicious. Wish the octopus pieces were slightly bigger but overall, it was 8/10 The Ribeye Chop ($108) was very yummy! Super tender and such big portions! It was enough for both me and my friend. A little pricey but it was very good quality. This was 9/10 Last but not least, was the super delicious dessert - the complimentary cotton candy! Such a sweet surprise! Would recommend and return

My fav steakhouse in 626 area! Service always wonderful and attentive. Sommelier Frederic is most knowledgeable!! Ambiance always perfect and not too noisy !! This time we ordered the Sanuki A5 Wagyu and bone in ribeye Westholme F1 wagyu Australia. We also ordered Caesar salad anchovies free with sesame dressing.

Impeccable dining experience! The service is top notch the waiter is always on hand. The presentation of the food was great and it all tastes fresh and delicious. The ambiance felt formal, yet fancy and modern. Would rate this a superb steakhouse experience.

My husband and I made a reservation a while back and we did not wait long at all until our table was ready. The hostess was giving out roses to all the female customers since it is Valentine's Day weekend. From start to finish, service was amazing. Not once I felt like we were neglected even though it's a full house during dinner service. Here's what we ordered: Caviar Australian Filet Filet Mignon Mashed Potatoes Pepper Sauce Souffle Creme Brulee Petergoff Vodka Moscow Mule I truly enjoyed every single dish and filet mignon was seasoned perfectly. Pepper sauce was the right amount of pepper. This is the best steakhouse I've been to and I cannot wait to come back. They were also giving out a few desserts for our table since we are celebrating an anniversary. I appreciate the card, champagne, desserts and the care they've given us tonight. All the servers are attentive and polite. Especially Fabien who took care of us and also took photos of us at the end of dinner. This is how a night out should be!

I feel like it's long overdue for an updated review of Alexander's Steakhouse in Pasadena. This is particularly poignant as they were closed for quite a long time and I wasn't even sure if they were going to reopen. Well, I have now come here twice in the last year and one thing remains constant: if there is a better steakhouse in the L.A. area than Alexander's, I haven't been to it yet. Of course, the food is always top-notch here. As far as appetizers go, you can never go wrong with their signature hamachi shots or the very rich uni toast. Although last time, the grilled Spanish octopus and and Hokkaido scallops definitely hit the spot. When it comes to steaks, they simply cannot be topped. First visit last year, I went with the 28 oz Westholme F1 Australian Wagyu Bone-In Ribeye. Second visit last year, I shared an absolutely glorious 43 oz Black Opal Australian Wagyu Tomahawk. These guys are professionals know how to cook a damn good steak! And as far as sides go, do not sleep on the fried rice with added pork belly. Always hits the spot. But as usual, it's the service that sets Alexander's apart from everywhere else. Just absolute top-notch service every time. They really go out of their way to make your meal special. Whether it's reciting the menu to make sure you know the best options for your meal, making sure the food comes out promptly and prepared perfectly, or free desserts (and the trademark cotton candy!), they just know what to do here. Ambience has always been fantastic here. As I said before, elegant yet modern. Tables are spaced well enough so you're not cramped and feel like you're near anyone. High ceilings help a lot as well. And for the first time, I didn't sit in the main dining room! It was a pretty cool experience being next to the open kitchen. I don't know why I ever doubted Alexander's after going to other steakhouses in the city. There are truly levels to this game and Alexander's is at the top of it. Highly recommended for a special occasion or a nice dinner out. Alexander does not miss!

Parked underground that's shared with the hotel. Came here for a work dinner, got seated in one of the conference rooms with about 30 guests. They were kind of slow when refilling drinks such as water and our club soda which was surprising. The salad was pretty tasty, the steak was cooked medium however even with the sauce it wasn't as flavorful as I thought, mashed potato was nice and creamy and the baby broccoli still had a crunch to it. I didn't get to the cheesecake cause we had to go home but overall it was a good experience. The rest of the restaurant has a romantic feel to it. Wouldn't mind coming again however with the "tasting" menu I wasn't too impressed.
