The good: The bus boy was one of the best I've seen. He was great with refilling waters like a ninja! The tuna appetizer was incredible, and the rolls were very tasty. The Not: Drinks arrived after our appetizer. (& They were only sodas) An hour after the app our food came out. Waiter came and checked on us within 1 minute of the food arriving and didn't return for a very long time. Husband's meal was so hot it was steaming (plate was scorching from being under the heat lamp)- scallops were so over cooked. Short ribs on my plate were less than room temp. The broccoli, risotto and ribs were all flavored differently so much so that it didn't work together. Had a few small bites of the plate, but the temps were so off. Broccoli was burning hot, risotto was warm ish & meat was literally cool. Ordered coffee, cappuccino& creme brulee. Got the coffees & sadly the coffee was almost cold, the cappuccino was doused with cinnamon and barley warm with no froth. 10 + minutes after ordering we received the brulee. Waiter did make an effort to make it look nice, but- it tasted like vanilla pudding mixed with whipped cream, and there was no crust of 'brulee'. Manager did come over and apologize for the issues- he was great and didn't make excuses which we appreciated. But we left our anniversary dinner hungry & disappointed. *We eat out often(at nice places) and decided to try a new local place rather than something upscale. They changed ownership a few years ago-

Your anniversary dinner should have been a special evening, and I'm sorry that the delays, inconsistent food temperatures, and issues with your desserts impacted your experience. I'm glad our manager took the time to speak with you, and I appreciate you recognizing his approach. I'll also be sure to pass along your kind words about our busser, as that level of attentiveness deserves to be recognized. We appreciate you giving Alicante a try for such a meaningful occasion. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back and make it up to you with the enjoyable dining experience you were hoping for. Please reach out to us at any time after 1PM Tuesday - Sunday.
