Alexander's Steakhouse — Restaurant in Cupertino

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...

At Stevens Creek location: From the moment of Entry Atmosphere was HORRIBLE so as the Vibe of the restaurant. This is a newly built, I was expecting something modern and elegant feel instead the entire place was filled with plastic Flowers horrible decor and Interior design was the worst I felt like this was an Cafeteria in a Warehouse for an everyday Blue collar dirty jobs Factory. Tasteless interior Archetectural Built Design! Yak!

Moving on to Food: The bread basket variety was nice and fresh until I got to the craker partn in the basket and tried those after a few bites the what appeared freshly from the oven my 3rd bite was a moldy taste...ouch! The customery cotton candy and sweet treat at the end was a nice touch though.

The food was barely ok! We spent under 400$ for 2. if you ask me is it worth it? for the food? No! For the Experiance and the Atmosphere? Hell NO-it was the worst i ever experienced of fine dining in Silicon Valley and travels!!

This was my first time here, hubby surprise for a Friday night out for something a little more special.

However it was a big disappointment from the moment of Entry. Nothing was welcoming...while reading the menues it was impossible without a Flash light the entire place was Ultra dark, too dark to see the food too when it arrived.. i literally had to turn on the flash light again to see what is my food?, where to stick a fork? lol..it was insane! then..I didnt like that the Server didnt describe the food correctly when confirming before ordering I was expecting a beautiful soup as described in the menue and confirmed by the server, what I got was a soup from a Blender -which I do not like and would have never ordered it. The salad I ordered also didnt come as indicated basicly I got with half of the ingredients missing, such as the most important ingredient such as Fish and etc. meat, it was advertised with.

We ordered filet mignon and instead got the regular T bone steak but charged for a filet mignon price :/..(omg!! this just got worst by every minute) which was the most expensive price tag and so our T bone steak definitely was not worth 90$ but the taste was alright.

In conclusion: we asked for to go leftovers, we only again end up with meat only and the rest of the food never made it to the to go box, whoever packaged it trew away our food and only the steak made it to the box! like I said I never experianced such a low level service and everything that came with this Alexander's Restaurant Experiance.

Honestly this Entire experiance what constitutes of a Horrible all around restaurant and Service! no wonder it was sort of emptyish..Our reservation honestly not need it. Again I am so dissapointed... Just horrible experiance and service all around!!

I dont know from where this restaurant gets so many thousands of 5 stars Reviews, is a big question ? to me?!! is the Reviews Both and paid for?!.. Fake?.. I dont know?!. Or perhaps from other locations important to this one.. because I know I heard in the past that it was nice.. But maybe things really took a bad turn.. I dont know.

Anyhow dont spoil your evening! Their is so many wonderful options outtheir of fine dining and this one is not it and supppeeeeeer...

Listen up, Alexander’s Steakhouse, you absolute travesty of a so-called "high-end" dining experience! I rolled into your Cupertino joint expecting a culinary masterpiece, and what did I get? A prime rib that was supposed to be medium but showed up so raw it was practically galloping around the plate, mooing in distress! Halfway through, it wasn’t even medium rare—it was a bloody, primal crime scene. My father’s medium-rare order? A complete disaster, sent back to the kitchen in shame. My sister’s filet? Another flop, yeeted back to whatever clueless cook botched it. THREE ORDERS, THREE STRIKES, back-to-back culinary carnage. Are you even trying?! And don’t get me started on your stingy nonsense. You have the audacity to charge for extra bread? BREAD?! But then you toss us some pathetic cotton candy at the end like we’re at a county fair? That’s not a dessert; it’s an insult wrapped in sugar fluff! For a place that charges an arm, a leg, and half your soul, you couldn’t even spring for something classy like the tiny birthday bites you grudgingly gave my father and sister. Cheapskates! For the price of this bill—which could’ve funded a small nation’s GDP—I expected a steak that would make angels weep. Instead, I got a tough, stringy prime rib that fought me harder than a bad breakup. I had to wrestle it with my knife like I was in a gladiator arena! I’ve had better cuts at a dive bar grill, and that’s not hyperbole—that’s just sad. Our waitress? A walking snooze-fest. No warmth, no vibe, just a ghost of hospitality floating around, barely muttering. Not rude, but so distant she might as well have been serving us from another dimension. We came for a special occasion, and you gave us a masterclass in disappointment. My biggest beef (pun intended) is with your cook. Whoever’s back there manning the grill needs to be sent to steak school, because this was an abomination. Alexander’s, you made me remember why I steer clear of overpriced, overhyped joints like yours. Shame on you for turning a special night into a culinary...
