   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 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

   We had such a disappointing dinner Saturday. Our waitress was okay, our food terrible. I sent my food back it was not hot had no flavor subpar at best! We have given this restaurant many chances but this was our final visit. Since purchasing from the original owners Alicante is not the same! Sadly we live right in town and this has been a great option for us.

   Great food, service and ambiance. We always loved the bar at Alicante (especially in summer with the beautiful lake view) - one of the nicest in the area. We haven't had dinner there in a year, and it was wonderful. Excellent service and food and the renovated dining room is very, very nice. The only comment I have - and this has nothing to do with the restaurant. The table next to us were on their phones, sharing videos, facetime video chat with their kids. So obnoxious in a nice restaurant like this. I'd love to see restaurants banning cell phone use in dining areas...

    Food was good, no complaints. Service was OK. Alicante used to be an exceptional restaurant. It has new owners and has been totally renovated and it is beautiful, but it just doesn’t have the same spark that it used to. Food not as good and the service is not at the same level as it had been. Just a regular restaurant now and probably won’t go back.
