An all-day menu long enough that nobody in the group can complain. Breakfast runs late and the club sandwich is the one to order.

Xander’s has been a Clifton fixture for years and its menu reflects that: breakfast, salads, sandwiches, burgers, pasta, pizza and a long dessert list, all served all day. It is the safe choice in the best sense, and the reason it works for a group where one person wants eggs at four in the afternoon and another wants a steak.
