The Alex food scene is way ahead of where it was just 5-6 years ago, and people still post dumb shite, it aggravates me.

For a town our size, we have legit options in quite a few diff cuisines. We are just a couple of more local places away from being pretty comparable to Monroe, which is recognized as having good dining for a mid size La city.

Alex has nothing remotely comparable to Cotton or Nonna like Monroe.

I am in ellic often. Please give me some suggestions where i can get a good glass of wine and a nice dinner (fish, steak, lamb, etc). I do not care for Diamond Grill and go to Bistro often. Many many times I am in town for the night and want a nice dinner... And those 2 are my options.

Alex gets banged on for good reason. There may be decent lunch spots.... But eating out at night leaves much to be desired....

Honestly tho, if there is somewhere I can get a rack of lamb, or a quality bone in ribeye, or a grilled snapper, or the like outside of Bistro or Diamond... Please let me know because I will b there this week and next. I like Bistro.. Really do... But find myself eating there once a week due to lack of options (or obviously lack of knowledge of options).
