What customers say?

“ We had a wonderful meal at The Finery in Alexandra and were thoroughly impressed from start to finish. The service was warm, efficient, and attentive without being intrusive. The ambience was inviting — stylish yet relaxed — making it a great setting for a night out. Pictured are the Shoestring Fries, Beef Short Rib, and Pork. The fries were crisp, golden, and seasoned just right — simple but done exceptionally well. The Beef Short Rib was the standout: tender, succulent, and full of flavour, it practically melted in my mouth. We both requested a swap from mashed potato to potato gratin with our mains, and the staff happily accommodated us. The gratin was creamy and rich — a perfect match. The pork was also beautifully cooked, with a crisp, flavourful crackling that added great texture. The accompanying vegetables were cooked to perfection and well-seasoned, adding a fresh, vibrant balance to the richness of the meat dishes. All in all, we had a fantastic meal and would definitely return. Highly recommended if you're in Alexandra! ”

“ This is easily the most upmarket place to dine in Alexandra. We were very impressed with the ambience and décor — the high ceilings and well-spaced tables create a relaxed, premium dining experience. The menu is excellent, offering everything from refined, restaurant-quality dishes to elevated pub favourites, so there’s truly something to suit every taste and budget. I ordered the Slow-braised Beef Rib with gratin potato, seasonal vegetables, and chimichurri-scented jus. It didn’t disappoint — the beef was melt-in-the-mouth tender, the sauces were rich and delicious, and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. My partner had the Crispy-Skinned Salmon and thoroughly enjoyed it as well. ”
