About the restaurant

Alexander's is an oasis for award winning cuisine, wine, and craft cocktails. Over the years we've twice been awarded the Open Table Top 100 in the US restaurant designation and in 2018, Southern Living Magazine named us one of the Ten Most Romantic Restaurants in the South. Focusing on superb ingredients; fish, seafood, prime quality Virginia aged meats, and locally sourced organic produce, our cuisine showcases years of collaboration among some of the most talented chefs of our region. You'll be served in an atmosphere filled with romance, sophistication, modern & vintage jazz. It's old world charm with new world flavors!
Built in the 1880s as Roanoke's first office supply company, our vintage building has been transformed into a retro chic rendition of the classic urban restaurants of our great culinary cities. The art, furnishings, lighting, and mirrors are all found pieces of Roanoke's rich architectural history. So relax and let's start making your memories at Alexanders!

Alexander's is a wonderful upscale, chic, restaurant with an intimate feel. The food is so delicious... the beef filet /gorgonzola butter and shrimp/ truffle cream sauce is out-of-this-world amazing. Our dining experience is absolutely always superb!

Outstanding food--pricey, but I guess you get what you pay for. We'd been there before, and we will go back for sure.

The Regency Room was an elegant eating experience for the holidays! The food was excellent with a variety of breakfast and brunch options. What made it even more of an “over the top” experience was the piano music!! Loved, loved, loved this special dining experience!

About the restaurant

The views of Primland’s rolling fairways and verdant forest landscapes could easily distract if the cuisine and generous interiors at Leatherflower did not command your full attention. Savor refined seasonal dishes that highlight native ingredients from Primland’s own farm and greenhouse, as well as the local mills, farms and suppliers. Floral grasscloth wallpaper, wooden beams, an ever-glowing fireplace and intimate seating arrangements with custom upholstered banquettes and chairs capture the spirit of a whimsical Virginia inn while diners partake in an exceptional culinary journey through the tastes of Appalachia.

This is probably my favorite restaurant in Roanoke, the food is absolutely outstanding. The service is always phenomenal, and tonight was a wonderful experience. My Mom was visiting from out of town, and everyone was very kind. The food is delicious, and I don't think it's possible to get a bad meal here. Highly recommend to anyone!
