"I went to the Alex for my birthday meal with three friends. We had planned to go to the Victoria Stakes but had to find another venue as it was closed because of a fire. There was no one else in the restaurant and it was very cold, despite the fire being lit. I hadn 't realised how 'meaty ' the Alex menu was I don 't eat meat! The only main courses that I could eat were fish and chips or mussels. I chose the mussels and these were really nice. My friends who ordered the fish and chips were disappointed to find that the chips were doorsteps rather than 'fries ' and also found the fish had too much batter. The wine went down well. It was a good evening but I won 't rush back."
