   We have been here many times. The eggplant app was very good. I had the haddock and my wife the salmon. Salmon was overcooked and the risotto was salty. My wife had this dish a couple of weeks ago and loved it. My haddock was just ok. Nothing special. Our server offered to provide my wife a new dish which we said no, but did provide a free desert to make it up. Concerned that the staff has had what appears to be a complete turnover since the new owners took over a year or so ago. Hopefully they didn’t let there cooking staff go. Surprised on a Thursday night it was pretty quiet except the bar area.

   Our waitress was truly phenomenal and the only saving grace in this meal. She was so nice to find out if we were celebrating anything and made it a point to bring us a celebratory crème brûlée for our engagement. If I could just rate the service we got alone it would give an 11/10. The food, however, was really truly bad. Filet mignon was disappointing to say the least. It was drowning in a sauce that should not be on it.

   Brunch is a MUST do here...you're really missing out if you don't try it. The menu is short and to the point! Easy to make a decision. Service was great and they went out of their way to make up for not having our b-day girl's favorite desert into something equally nice! Highly recommend.

   Our second visit, they did a very nice job both times. We did go very early, 4:30 on a Tuesday, so they were not yet very busy. Wil go back and try the bar seating area next. Food was flavorful, HOT and plentiful. Good service.

   We celebrated our Daughter's birthday at Alicante. We had reservations for three at 4:00. Our waitress (I believe her name was Danielle) was "WONDERFUL". She was very attentive but giving us time in between. She had a very nice smile and was very helpful and friendly. The food was very good. I would have liked it a little warmer. The drinks were great and dessert was amazing. They even wrote Happy Birthdaday in chocolate and put a candle in her dessert. A very nice touch!! it was well appreciated. We definitely will be back and I would recommend it.

   Food was very good but I have to say, we made a reservation for a kid free night out, which doesn’t happen very often and we were seated at the worst table in the entire restaurant, all the way in the back right near the exit door. There were plenty of open 2 seater tables. I understand you need to give each waitress fairness when seating guests but i feel like we were seated there because we are an interracial couple and it happened quite often. We made a reservation they should give the people who took the time to reserve a table one of the better tables.

   I visited this restaurant to celebrate my birthday and had an amazing experience! The staff was wonderful, especially Elder, who made sure we had everything we needed. The highlight was when the entire team sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to me in my language. It was such a thoughtful and touching gesture. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a warm and special experience

   I had a great time, I been looking for a food spot for a while now . I’m a chef and you can tell they cared about what they served. We had a young staff and they were professional and cool. And they had complimentary valet parking !! This might be my new treat yourself spot . I’m deff gonna do my TikTok review here lol

   We have been here many times over the years. Food is very good and service is good. They don’t pay as close to the details like they use to: water, drinks, etc. Prices have continued to increase but overall no real complaints. My only observation is that every time we come it’s a different staff. Seems to be a big turnover. I assume it’s ownership or management. No complaints but find it strange.

    Good food and service. Parking is valet and tight. When it is light out you can see the lake
