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 the best restaurant in Roanoke. The service and food are always reliably fantastic. We enjoyed the pecan encrusted chicken and the lamb, along with the cheese tray appetizer, wine and cocktails. Everything we ordered was perfect. We are fortunate to have this restaurant in Roanoke.

Thursday night date night was made extra special by Alexanders. Delightful meal from appetizers to dessert. Our evening was enhanced with a couple of nuances in the menu, especially the duck and the coconut cake dessert. Wine pairing were perfect.

Beautiful restaurant with elegant ambience. The menu was outstanding, paired with a very affordable wine list that had fantastic choices. We chose the Pinotage from South Africa which was delicious. Our server was personable, professional, welcoming, and very knowledgeable. His recommendations were spot on. Although we were the last reservation of the evening, the staff never made us feel rushed. Would highly recommend
