Arriving without a reservation on a Saturday, we were seated without a wait; service was welcoming, quick, and very friendly. Tip: The starter we chose (with advice from our server) was the steamed mussels. As our server had said, we found that a single portion was more than enough for two to share. We also enjoyed several cocktails with our meal that day; my favorite by far was the Pumpkin amuse - delicious! For our main, we shared the fillet of ray (tronco rodaballo). This dish was beautiful to look at, with a taste profile that bordered on distilled awesomeness :-) Bottom line: Fabulous views, excellent service, and wonderful food made our experience here one that I look forward to repeating. While the prices for bread, wine, and coffee were a bit on the high side, the overall cost of our meal was more than reasonable given the quality of the food and the service.

The service here is HORRIBLE. we waited 45 minutes to get when the line was 10 people ahead of us…read more I waited for 30 MINUTES FOR WATER. The waiters blatantly ignore their customers and when they do talk to you they ignored me to my FACE. I asked for a margarita and the waiter WALKED AWAY. We ordered our free cocktails over an hour and a half ago and NOTHING. my friend also ordered a salad and it's been an hour. The workers are extremely rude and the service is HORRIBLE. do not come here no matter WHAT.

Then there is also a minimum 5 euro drinking. The swimingpool is very dirty and the staff is not really interested in service or anything else for that matter.

We stopped in at Isla Incity last night for its promise of sushi, cocktails and unparalleled views…read moreof Alicante's medieval Castillo de Santa Barbara. This seasonal terrace bar (which feels like something of a zen cabana) is located on the roof of the Hospes Amerigo Hotel, adjacent to its petite indoor pool. During the day the teakwood deck is lined with lounge chairs and sunbathers, but in the evenings (the kitchen opens at 9:00PM) it is transformed into an intimate dining area, with rows of minimalist tables, votives, and a pair of glowing phosphorescent lamps. And the views really are spectacular. The craggy mountain fortress stands juxtaposed against the Gothic silhouette of Alicante's Basilica of Santa Maria. As the evening progressed, we watched the sun set and the shadows lengthen on church and ruins alike. The food was less memorable, though generally pretty tasty. The menu consisted mainly of sushi classics, with two or three specialty roll options. We started with a salad of pickled greens (very good) and edamame (overcooked). We then shared an order of salmon nigiri (very fresh), tuna maki (ok), california roll (very tasty - with ripe, buttery avocado and fragrant toasted sesame seeds), and crispy shrimp tempura (amazing). We ended the meal with a slice of Isla's green tea tiramisu - this was light, sweet and completely addicting. Our bill arrived with a complementary shot of chilled strawberry puree. On a Wednesday night, the lounge was nearly empty (there was one other couple seated at the bar) and the vibe throughout was tranquil and relaxed (so much so that we stayed more than two hours). Very lovely evening in Alicante (would return again anytime). ***3.5 Stars***
