 The exposed brick walls, booth tables and open kitchen that define Alexander's contemporary San Francisco loft space belie the restaurant's richness and its adventurous spirit: this new wave steakhouse may have fun, but it plays for keeps. Executive chef Jeffrey Stout reaches into his Japanese-American heritage to give the menu a unique twist. Bites of hamachi layered with ponzu and ginger are presented in shot glasses. With many of the appetizers, complex flavor combinations can pay off, as in the beet salad where tart slices of beet offset soft escolar tataki and creamy truffle mayo topped with salty almond and green olive. Other starters might include a Raw Trio of tuna tataki, hamachi ceviche and Columbia River salmon tartare. The steaks are practically impeccable. The porterhouse is dark and moist; the Cabassi & Rea Wagyu filet is buttery. For strong pairings, look to wine director Johnny Slamon’s diverse international wine list, including more than 20 selections by the glass. Sides, such as roasted carrots with chorizo and citrus, are spot on, too. Creative desserts are not to be missed, nor is the cheese list.
