The Sea by Alexanders Steakhouse in Palo Alto

Very nice.We had small ceviche, cocktail shrimp, Oyster starter. Steak main. Nice dessert.Wine menu pricey.For our tap of 16, $5000 in a room. Service excellent. Food exquisite, banquet room special slanted ceiling with chandelier bright and welcoming.

Weve been going to The Sea for many years and have never been disappointed with the food or service! The last time was a few months ago, they start you off with different types of bread, rolls, etc.They will give you an amuse bouche to enjoy.We had Hamachi shots and for the entree, I had Wagyu Ribeye that was delicious and my wife had a fish dish. We ve had so many items on the menu that I cant name them all. At the end of the dinner, you will get cotton candy for free!Bill, Tim and their team are outstanding!They also have a nice outside dining area.

I took my mom there for her birthday. Service is excellent, absolutely excellent. Dishes are great. I like the crab and steak. The wine pairing elevated the dishes! Every detail is on the fine dining level. You can trust the recommendations from staffs there. Dessert is delicious. Easy to park. Over all I definitely recommend The Sea!

TL;DR: Delicious meal, with some hits and misses, in a pleasant setting.We had a nice evening at The Sea. We came to celebrate our daughters birthday so the setting was perfect for special occasions. We were warmly greeted upon arrival and seated right away. The staff left a birthday card on our table so that was a nice touch.Service was outstanding. Both Jorge and Ramon were extremely attentive and helpful.We ordered the cold seafood platter, the Wagyu special which included a lobster tail and scallops, and sides of truffle fries and brussel sprouts.As I mentioned, there were some hits and some misses. The hits were the wagyu (cooked perfectly and so tender), raw scallops (so fresh), oysters, sashimi, and truffle fries (absolutely delicious). The misses were the lobster tail (a bit overcooked), brussel sprouts (no flavor and a bit too hard), and the ceviche that was part of the sampler.Overall, it was a good experience. Just not sure if Id go back given the hefty prices.

We had dinner here for a group. The ambience was excellent. We were seated on time and had sea food platter for appetizer. I had salmon for entree. I tried their own excellent old fashioned cocktail. Desserts were amazing. Will come again.

I took my wife here for our 22nd anniversary over the weekend. It was the best dining experience we have ever had! We love to eat out and this establishment is now one of our top places to eat. Everything we ordered was flavorful and prepared wonderfully. The presentation was stunning. The staff was on point, knowledgeable about the dishes, and true ambassadors of the establishment. This is one experience we will never forget. Thank you for making our night of Jan 13th more grand than we both could imagine!

Food and service was excellent. First time having dinner at the sea. Will definitely come back. Its expensive but well worth it. Met owner and he said everyone he hires has a smile and really enjoys working. That is awesome to hear. Great to see people proud and happy. It truly makes for a great experience

The atmosphere, cleanliness, the staff, the food, and the wine were all on point. We did a 5 course meal of $195 each with a bottle of wine. Even though everything is small portions (as course meals are) we got full by course #3 and had a hard time finishing dessert.

Update: we visited The Sea again for Mothers Day brunch. Service as usual was top notch, except the delivery was a bit slow, I guess due to the crowd.A couple dishes were meh (like the mussels came out too fishy) but others were spot on (like the black cod).My family definitely had a good time but we can see the cracks forming in the menu. We need fresh inspiration to bring this place back.-------------Hadnt visited The Sea in 3 years. Given COVID yet we wanted to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and they have a great patio, went ahead and reserved. We have a wonderful time. Great table, great ambience, great service, and amazing food. Yes, yes, the price is expensive. But it is well worth it for that special occasion. The hamachi shots felt slightly less fresh than expected but everything else was top notch. Lobster fried rice, seafood paella, wagyu ribeye, crab croquettes... and I can go on and on. And then to top it all off, our server was professional and welcoming, as well as considerate that we had 3 kids who couldnt toast so brought us Italian soda instead. Will definitely return. Amazing experience.

I don’t know where to begin…the hostess was so polite and seated us promptly. Our waiter was very responsive and checked on us regularly. The presentation of the food (as you can see) was spot on. We had to try the hamachi shots & they certainly didn’t disappoint. I was intrigued to try the scallops 2 Ways but my husband is a creature of habit soo he went with the cod. Both dishes were as beautiful as they were delicious! Dessert was just the right portion for my husband & I to share with the perfect level of sweetness and texture. This place is perfect for families and intimate date nights as well as small gatherings. Highly recommended!!!
