I visited twice during my stay at the Alexis, and both times, the service was extremely disappointing. On my first visit, my order was incorrect. The second time, I waited so long to have my order taken that the kitchen closed. The server and bartender, Sergio, only eventually came over because other guests, who had been waiting even longer, had to contact the front desk to locate him. While the ambiance was pleasant, it simply couldn't make up for the frustration I experienced.
