Customer Review: A family favorite
We raise our own chicken meat and everyone loves to eat this curry chicken once of week. Easy to make and delicious! <><


Situated on the marina in Cabo San Lucas, nestled amongst the many restaurants
and bars at Plaza Bonita, sits a lively little restaurant where flaming pans light up the
night.

Fire leaps high releasing the pungent aroma of herbs and spices while oohs and
aahs escape from the mouths of diners. Passersby stop to take in the show, some
walk on but many are drawn in by the culinary exhibition. Like us, they are soon to
be fans of Chef Alex Brulhart, owner of Alexanders Restaurant.

Alex hails from Switzerland and brings a unique culinary style crafted in his
homelands alpine heights to sea level here in Cabo San Lucas. Combining French-
influenced cuisine of Swiss origin with hints of the tropics and Mediterranean, the
menu offers something for just about any palate and craving. Twenty years as a chef
have honed Alexs skills and the proof is in the tasting. Couple his talents with a
well-trained staff and you have the makings of a memorable dinner with friends or
that special someone.

For starters, try the Escargot Chablisienne - Snails sauted with white wine, butter,
garlic and herbs with mushrooms. For a salad, the Caesar prepared tableside with
only fresh ingredients and under Alexs watchful eyes is a must. Both paired well
with a Cassilero del Diablo Merlot recommended by our waiter.

Entre selections are diverse, and while we heard great things about Alexanders
Shrimp Tempura with a Thai coconut-chile sauce, we opted for the Chateaubriand
for two. One of many entres prepared tableside the show is not to be missed. Chef
Fabricio Petrelli expertly prepared our entre with a showmans style coaxing flavor
from the spices sprinkled from high above the pan and controlling the dance of fire
that seared those flavors into the premium cut of Sonoran beef. Soon we cut into
butter-soft beef tenderloin with a rich but subtle Barnaise sauce. Accompanied by
mashed garlic potatoes and tender-crisp fresh vegetables we were nothing but
delighted with the dish.

Seafood lovers will most certainly enjoy the catch of the day as it is a fresh as fresh
can be. Caught locally aboard boats managed by Alex, the time from catch to pan is
very short. In addition to the fresh catch, Alexanders also offers a succulent Surf
and Turf combination featuring Shrimp and Filet Mignon, Shrimp Stuffed Chicken
Breast, Whole Lobster and Shrimp Capice - fresh local shrimp sauted with capers
and cognac. For the meat eater, Alexanders offers a variety of steaks as well as
lamb chops in a red wine and rosemary reduction. In addition the menu also
features a Seafood Platter for two that includes the catch of the day, lobster tail, filet
mignon and scallops. House specialties include fondue dinners for a minimum of
two people featuring cheese, seafood, beef or Fondue Bourguignon. Homemade
pastas complete the selection of entrees.

No meal is complete without dessert and Alexanders is the only restaurant we know
of in Cabo that features the longtime Swiss favorite, fondue. Dipping fresh fruits
into a decadent chocolate fondue is an experience not to be missed. Other desserts
include Bananas Foster and a variety of crepes all prepared tableside with more fire
and flare.

For those who look for the finer things in life and believe that great food is one of
lifes greatest gifts, Alexanders Restaurant is not to be missed. Whenever you
venture south of the border to the tip of the Baja peninsula, do yourself and your
taste buds a favor, stop in for a wonderful meal by the sea.
