    The entire staff at The Sea and Alexander’s should be commended for all of their efforts as you will experience over the top service and quality of dining like no other. Maria, our server is by far the best server that she has to offer. Every time we have been lucky enough to have her as our server, she tops the last experience, making it unique and delightful time that makes you want to come back for more. Thank you to the entire staff at The Sea by Alexander’s, and congratulations to Tim for continuing to make it a place that you don’t want to miss

    The Sea by Alexander’s is end-to-end, a really special restaurant. From the valet, to the front desk, to the severs and the manager, everyone is focused on providing their guests a superlative dining experience. The food, of course, is wonderful! We had the hamachi shots (we always do - they’re that good!) and the lobster rocks for starters, both excellent and shareable by at least 3 people, the miso cod and petite fillet for mains (again excellent), and haricot verts and truffled fries as sides. Everything was delicious, and the sides were also large enough for at least 3 people. My daughter was about 30 mins late - she showed up at the other Alexander’s in Cupertino by mistake! Our server and other staff members handled the delay with great grace and humor, and not for a minute was I made to feel awkward about the snafu. So well handled! It’s the perfect place for a special and elegant evening. Thank you!

    Service was outstanding not overbearing. Food was excellent with layers of flavor in every dish. The hamachi shots were the best and everything thing else from the bread to the dessert was better than anything else I’ve had in the last year.
