Xenia was a favorite of ours for years. Unfortunately this visit disappointed across the board in service, food appearance & quality. If this had been my first visit I would have rated the experience fair to poor but because we have had better experiences in the past, rated it neutral. Will give it another try in the future

Instead of butter with the bread, try some olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Or maybe even a mixture of garlic, olive oil, and some herbs. Also, Since taking my vegetarian daughter to your restaurant Saturday night, we noticed how few vegetarian options there really are. She's also lactose intolerant, so it limited her options further.

The last time we were in this restaurant we were served rice with our curry. This time, we purchased the order of curry thinking that white rice would be included however, nothing was included. We had to pay $5 extra for a serving of rice. However, there was a platter on the menu which was an order of curry, basmati rice, dal and yogurt. The waitress failed to tell us that nothing was included with an order which was not a platter. Who in their right mind would eat a bowl of curry without bread or rice. Rice and curry go hand in hand. This was a bizarre and upsetting experience. I will not go to this restaurant ever again. It was ridiculous. Offering curry without anything is like offering a sandwich without the bread. Also, if we knew, we would have purchased the platter instead we actually paid more for our side or rice to go with our curry and actually received less items. Awful!!!1

Fabulous find in Alamo. We started with the Calamari which had a panko breading and was very light and tasty.Then the butter lettuce salad. Comes with house dressing that does not over power the salad, but covers everything,again very light and tasty.We ordered the potatoe crusted halibut and mango salsa pork chop. Both were so good we each swapped plates half way through to enjoy both meals. All the food is mediterranean style and seasonings are excellant. Light but vibrant. Nothing over powers the taste of the meal but compliments each dish.

It was FREEZING in there. There is no door between the bar and outdoor lounge, so when it's cold outside, you're going to freeze inside. The food was so-so, and in addition to eating two meals there, we took home sandwiches for the next day's lunch. Both sandwiches were supposed to have potato salad, but they put fries in one, which never re-heat well, so they got thrown out. The potato salad was terrible because the potatoes were almost raw. They tried to put too many things in with the potatoes and it just didn't taste good, so that was also thrown out.

We had a great experience! Our server didn't rush us. My husband gave her an extra $20 to thank her! We hadn't seen our friends in 3 years so we talked for hours, NO one kicked us out even after they closed! They just kept cleaning up and let us decide when we were ready to leave. I"m spreading the word about this great restaurant! Thanks!

Every time we eat at Xenias it is a great evening. Service and the food is excellent. The pork chop is awesome! Thanks.

Tonight was our best experience at Xenia. We have had some poor meals and bad service in the past. Keep up the good work. We live in Alamo and normally go elsewhere. I think we will be coming in more often.

Love to support our local Alamo businesses. Live music on Friday/Saturday nights would be wonderful -- something light and easy listening that isn't too loud! Best to Jigi.

Waiter was very attentive but food came out wrong on four of our orders. I saw him write down our requests (no cheese on hamburgers, etc.) but they came out wrong anyway. Burgers were over cooked.

It's a very good neighborhood restaurant, and the plus of now dining there with certificates, makes it all the better.
