Food: 4.8 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4.2

Alexander's Steakhouse in Cupertino is simply excellent. The food is delicious, the servers are attentive and friendly and the atmosphere is classy and chic. If you're a fan of good steak in the Silicon Valley area, this is the spot to get your fix.

We've tried several cocktails and glasses of wine and always enjoyed our selection. I've enjoyed the 007 and Green Fairy while my girlfriend has always enjoyed the glasses of Chardonnay she has tried at Alexander's.

The bread for the table is always a nice treat which includes some flaky croissants, french bread and a rosemary focaccia. They are all very tasty and served with butter which is a nice way to start off the meal.

As far as appetizers go, we've always enjoyed what we've tried as well. They are fairly pricey and the portion size can vary pretty significantly:

Popcorn Crab: This appetizer may be the best value for your money as the portion size was large enough to be an entree and it was delicious. Worth trying if you're a fan of crab and fried foods.

Roasted Bone Marrow: This one is very nice and I've ordered it a few times as I've recently learned I love bone marrow. The bone marrow is not a huge appetizer but I decent serving size of bone marrow and absolutely delicious -- definitely recommend.

Onigara King Crab Legs: These are a great choice as well. The crab legs have a nice spice to them and a reasonable serving size (when it comes to King Crab, anyway). If you're a fan of King Crab and don't mind a little heat these are the choice for you.

Jamon Iberico Cinco Jotas: This mix of truffle burrata cheese and bread is a nice choice and very tasty. The value for your dollar is a bit lower here as it's a pricey appetizer with a small portion size, but if you're a fan of burrata you may enjoy this choice.

The entrees are almost excellent as well, and of course I am referring to the steak. We've tried a few different types, but mainly I am always ordering the:

Prime Bone-In Ribeye: Deliciously cooked and extremely tender steak. A nice amount of butter and scallions on top and often offered with a number of optional enhancements such as crab (Oscar style) or truffles which I am a fan of when they are available. The steak is cooked perfectly and has the right amount of delicious fat around the outside with juicy tender meat inside.

Filet Mignon: Excellently cooked and very tender with very little fat, this is a nice choice for those with smaller appetites or who aren't as big fans of the external fat found on the Ribeye. This is a favorite for my girlfriend and she definitely enjoys it so you won't go wrong with this option, either.

They also have wonderful sides to accompany your meal, particularly:

Lobster Macaroni & Cheese: Delicious! I'm a huge fan of Lobster Mac & Cheese and this is the best I've ever had. They use a cheese aged for a year and a sizable helping of lobster on top. This side is simply superb and if you're a fan of Lobster Macaroni & Cheese you have to order this while you're here.

They have a small dessert menu and complimentary flavored cotton candy after your meal. They also generally try to do a little something extra if they're aware its a special occasion for you, which is a nice touch.

Overall the best steakhouse in Silicon Valley and a personal favorite of mine. I definitely recommend this to steak fans who are in the area and want a high-end steak experience.
