Always so consistent, the service and the dishes were very good, we tried different things including The salmon and it was excellent. The filet mignon is just the perfect size and flavor for me.

Love Sea by Alexander and we have been going here several times a year over about a decade. I prefer to sit in the bar area as Chang provides top notch service covering the area.
