J Alexander’s West Bloomfield review, pics, and menu info. Located in West Bloomfield Twp on the cusp of Farmington Hills, MI, the ambiance at J Alexander’s is soothingly dark with soft accents of warm yellow lighting.
J Alexander’s West Bloomfield is very comfortable and an enjoyable dining experience. However, the acoustics are not ideal and the noise level is quite high when there is a full house.

I went to the J Alexander’s West Bloomfield for lunch, and was surprised at how busy this place was during a lunch hour. I expect for there to be a long wait during the dinner rush, but the lunch crowd we waited through was a valid indicator that J. Alexander’s has some good food.

I ordered the salmon, and my friend ordered the chicken salad. Both were excellent. Fresh, flavorful, and nicely prepared. I ate every bite. For dessert I tried J Alexander’s homemade key lime pie with some fresh brewed coffee and it was fantastic. The portion sizes at J Alexander’s West Bloomfield are generous and filling.

Apparently “a pleasant dining experience, is NOT on the menu at J. Alexanders.” I visited the location in West Bloomfield Michigan (an affluent area) with my 89-year-old grandmother for my birthday. Two booths down, there was a family with a crying 12-18-month-old. As a parent, I completely understand childhood, but allowing a baby to continue to cry while other people are trying to enjoy their dinner is deplorable. I gave it some time to allow the family to calm their child down, but they just ignored her crying. It was a start-and-stop the whole time. When I brought it up with one of the servers walking by, her response was, “wha’chya want me do about it.” If the server felt that comfortable talking to a guest like that, clearly the manager allows this type of behavior and won’t do anything either. Maybe if the restaurant had a dress code policy that didn’t serve people wearing sweatshorts, sandals, and baseball caps, this could have been avoided.
As for my actual dinner, I’m STILL waiting for my calamari appetizer. The main dishes were delivered and the server came by twice to check up on us and did not even realize that we never got our calamari. In the end when the check arrived (it wasn’t on the bill), I pointed it out to her, and the server was shocked. If she was so certain that she put the order in, she should have seen that we never got the order. Clearly, J. Alexanders doesn’t care about a pleasant dining experience.
I assumed J. Alexanders tried to brand themselves as an upscale restaurant, being in West Bloomfield of all places, but that failed miserably! The only difference between J. Alexanders and all the other “nice” restaurants in the ghetto is that the ones in Detroit charge a cover and have automatic gratuity because they know they won’t provide good service and no one tips either. This was the ultimate Boughetto experience!
