We went to Alexandra's in Nanaimo yesterday before going to the Theater. It is a small place, family operated, clean and cozy. The staff is young but keen on learning.
having been in the business for a very long time, I can highly recommend Alexandra's for a nice evening out.
We ordered a bottle of Chianti Melini which although only a couple years old was excellent You have to pour your own which was just fine with us.
For starters we ordered the Shrimps in a Marinara sauce, very tasty. I had the Lamb Osso Bucco and my wife the Chicken Souvlaki also delicious. The food was hot, well presented . The service attentive and friendly. For dessert I had some Vanilla Ice Cream with Grand Marnier. I nice finish on a great dinner.
They have a good selection of wines which are very reasonably priced.
Together with a generous tip you are looking at around $80 per person which was very reasonable for what we had ordered.
The Chef/Owner? even came out to check on his customers which was a nice touch.
We will definitely go back there again soon.

This is a great spot to eat. You will often have the chef come out and just say how are things portions are great. Food is hot and fresh. Greek salad is amazing and the calamari was good to. We were so full after having calamari salad and our main dish that we had to pass on dessert but much to our surprise the waitress gave us a free cheesecake to take home. How often does that happen when you go out ?
We highly recommend this small Greek restaurant for dining
Good Greek wine also served

The food and services was beyond any experience yet. If you wart world experienced Chef's (husband and Wife) Who have traveled the world as Chef's cooking the very best foods, then do not miss out on this experience!
Not sure who would give this anything less than 5 stars but those that did - boo hisss :-)
The finest place to dine always ask if you need salt or pepper - we love that question but in all the years of eating here, it has never been asked or called for - its always perfection!
I will admit to one thing - the wine list was limited and did not match the amazing food or services. If they read this - Maybe a few more options - Mouton Cadet 20014, A Chianti 2017 or possibly Spanish or spicey Argentinian Red Wine - Yummy with the Chicken parmigiana.
I Lovett - Love it!

We had a great dinner here. It was short but sweet. We didn't have much time to enjoy a slower dinner, but we still enjoyed it very much. When we told our server that we had to leave soon, our meal was served quickly with a smile. When leaving we told her it was our first experience at Alexandra's and we'd probably return if in the area again. She said it's a company policy to give first timers a complimentary dessert. We left with a delicious piece of cheesecake in our hands. It was delicious too. Thanks!

Our go to Greek/ Mediterranean restaurant in Nanaimo. We’ve been going to Alexandra’s for more than 15 years. Never had a bad meal, food is always flavourful, fresh and well plated with large portions. Staff is very friendly and accommodating. Owner/Chef Bobby treats you like Family!

I went to Alexandra’s Bistro last night with my friends and it was fantastic!! I always come back with new friends and they always love it! This restaurant never disappoints and I am so glad I am a regular here! I ordered the calamari as an appetizer and it was so fresh and tasty. For my main meal I got the Kleftiko (lamb shoulder) with a Greek salad and it was so flavorful, fresh and delicious!! This restaurant is such a good place to come to if you want Greek, Italian or some Indian food. The owner is super nice and friendly and the service is excellent! I also was super delighted when I received a complimentary slice of cheesecake from the chef! This restaurant is the best in town and definitely bring your friends and family here!!

My family and I went before lockdown and let me tell you that it quickly became one my family’s favourite restaurants in Nanaimo. I’ve been many times before with friends but this was my family’s fist time and they loved it. The restaurant felt completely safe and the staff was regularly cleaning chairs, tables, and stools. The food was amazing! I got the meat ravioli baked and it was delicious. One of the best raviolis I’ve ever had!! At the end of our meal the staff brought out a complimentary cheesecake and it was amazing !! Overall, Alexandra’s never disappoints and will continue to be one of my favourite restaurants for a very long time.

I am so dissapointed. One of my fav places to go except for tonight. Service was awful. One server who refused to give me her name argued with me over a .95 charge. Thanked me for the lesson in human interaction. Talked to owner who said oh staff come and go. But let the sever, with dark hair and a stud piercing on her upper lip, continue to be rude to me. Sadly I won't be back.

Took my husband for his birthday dinner. He ordered the veal Marsala thinking it would be the tender cutlet with a tasty mushroom sauce. He took a couple bites and then asked me to taste it. We both confirmed that there was no cutlet - the meat had been ground! It tasted like hamburger that was swimming in a thick sauce. The owner came out and instead of apologizing said that no one else had complained about it in 15 years. He did offer to replace it with chicken, but the sauce was heavy and my husband had lost his appetite. Amazingly, we got charged full price for the uneaten meal. My son’s and my meals were ok, not great, but ok. The servers were very good. Sadly, they have lost a customer, we will not be back.

I visited Alexandra's Bistro last night... and let me tell you how amazing it was! The food had so much flavour and the service was super friendly. I ordered a Saganaki to start for an appetizer and when it arrived it was very well presented and tasted out of this world! It was way better than any other Saganki's I have tried. For my main meal I had the Osso Buco with a Greek Salad. Let me tell you that the food portions are huge and leave you enough to take home and eat the next day. My friends had the greek platter and each dish was amazing! Best Greek food in town! Will be telling everyone about this gem.

The food is soooooo good! This is our favourite restaurant in town. Delicious food, friendly staff and reasonably priced. I fully recommend! I usually get the prawn slovaki and my kids get the prawn fettuccine. The cheesecake is amazing too!

We have visited this restaurant several times and usually order the Greek Platter for 2 which is consistently delicious and the portions are huge! Enough for lunch for 2 the next day. The price is very reasonable for the amount of food and quality you receive.
The service is always prompt and friendly. We've always been very pleased and never had a bad meal from here.

Friendly, love the food. We have never been disappointed with whatever we have ordered. We have a number of dishes we find exceptional and we do try different ones because of the positive vibes of the known dishes we like. Our choice list gets bigger every time we do.

We were Happy to support Alexandra's throughout the pandemic and extremely pleased to see they were able to remain open.
We have been dining in or take out ever since Alexandra's Bistro first opened.
It is our favorite Greek Restaurant in Nanaimo. The food is very delicious with generous portions. Our favorite is the Moussaka but enjoy many of the other fantastic dishes as well.
Nice atmosphere very friendly staff and owner/chef Bobby(sp?) makes sure you are enjoying your meal.
Thank you for such Great food and service over the years.
Look forward to seeing you soon.
