J. ALEXANDER'S RESTAURANT – American
Happy hour runs two till five on weekdays, which is the quiet way into a room that fills fast after six. On North Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale, the draw is the open flame: ribeyes and steaks over a live wood fire, slow-roasted prime rib, fresh seafood, and a grilled chicken salad with feta, olives and tomato that regulars order without opening the menu. Cocktails are built properly. Desserts are made in-house, right down to the carrot cake. Polished, unhurried, and consistent enough to become a default.
