Lively Greek standby with generous portions and solid grills/seafood; expect occasional long waits and uneven service, but good food value if you time it right.
Why it gets a B- for overall quality
Alexandros delivers solid food quality with generous portions and reliably tasty grills and seafood that keep regulars returning, but quality varies noticeably—some meals shine while others arrive dry or delayed. Service attention remains uneven, and peak-hour waits of 60–120 minutes undercut the experience, making this a worthwhile neighborhood taverna for casual Greek dining rather than a destination restaurant.
Restaurant Summary
A neighborhood stalwart with bustling taverna energy, Alexandros packs in families and groups for platters, grills, and seafood. Service can be warmly personable, with one diner noting the friendly owner-like presence. Expect a lively room and, at peaks, some wait time: "We loved the food, but it took a while to arrive." The cooking skews classic Greek over fancy—think grilled meats and seafood, generous mezze, and sweets like baklava and walnut cake. When the kitchen is in rhythm, flavors are bright and portions hearty; when stretched, a few dishes run dry or delayed. It suits diners who want straightforward, satisfying plates rather than chefly flourishes. Families are well served. There is a dedicated kids menu with souvlaki, giros, and fries, plus simple sides and desserts. Picky eaters can stick to grills and potatoes, while adventurous kids can nibble mezze. High volume on weekends can test patience, so earlier hours are friendlier for little ones.
