At least they were consistent, I watched them when dealing with the Spanish and they were treated the same. Fortunately, in our party were Spanish speaking Brits, and they were able to get their attention, but it was hard. Right at the beginning we had to ask for bread and alioli, which is just normal thing to present or at least ask if it was wanted. Again, the lamb was excellent, the best I had tasted anywhere, but be prepared to be served by gruff waiters. Spanish Version: No estoy sacando un punto por la comida, que fue excelente. Lo estoy haciendo principalmente debido al servicio. Encontré su manera bastante grosera. Al menos fueron consistentes, los vi cuando trataban con los españoles y fueron tratados de la misma manera. Afortunadamente, en nuestro grupo había británicos que hablaban español, y pudieron llamar su atención, pero fue difícil. Justo al principio tuvimos que pedir pan y alioli, que es algo normal de presentar o al menos preguntar si se quería. Nuevamente, el cordero era excelente, el mejor que he probado en cualquier lugar, pero prepárate para ser atendidos por camareros gruñones.

I'd never have thought to slather anchovies with butter, but here you have it. We continued with roasted artichokes, which were both tender and tasty. Then we shared half of the advertised "vaca nacional," or "state cow", presumably meat from a cow from Spain, which was more than enough for two people- unless you enjoy 500+ grams to yourself. Ordered "al punto" or "medium rare", it was served to perfection, and accompanied by a side salad and a side of one's choice (we chose fries). We washed it all down a local white wine, perhaps better paired with the anchovies, but nonetheless satisfying with the steak. Also, a "complimentary" bread plate, complete with aioli and tomato purée, was provided at an additional charge of €2.50 per person. While anticipated in Spain, I can't help but find this a tactless addition to otherwise nice meals. We finished our dinner with orders of the torrija (similar to French toast) and strawberry sorbet, respectively. My friend said the torrija was very good, and the sorbet hit the spot. My only complaint of the evening is that toward the end of our meal a male server came out as though he were the cook- it soon became apparent that he was not- and asked every table except for ours how their meal was, at which point I could not help but notice that at each of those tables sat a man, and the question was directed at them. I guess women should just be satisfied to have the freedom to dine out at all.

After years of traveling to and living part-time in Alicante have I found this place by…read morechance...and it's an instant best in the area! We came here for a surprise dinner party for a friend's birthday and we did not know how many people were going to show up or what the restaurant was like. First off, the restaurant is situated in a mostly residential area and was a 10 minute walk from the nearest tram station. When we got there it was like coming upon an oasis with it's beautiful terrace and almost militaristic organization of solid wooden tables and shiny cutlery. In the end approximately 25 people showed up for the surprise birthday party and we were seated amongst two extra large tables which had extended multiple times by the staff. The service throughout was professional and friendly. The food. Just about everything that flew out of the kitchen was spectacular! First we had some salads, one being fennel with parmigiano cheese and another being a garden salad which was made of vegetables grown by the restaurant itself. Both were delicious but the fennel with parmigiano cheese blew my mind; I never could have fathomed this combination and they executed it perfectly, cooking the fennel to a delicate but still substantive texture in order to pair with the bits of cheese. Wow! Steak tartar was cut small and spiced large, with what I think included smashed capers. The lady had grilled monkfish which was huge in taste and size, the best "rape" (monkfish in Spanish) she'd ever had. I had looks and tastes of the pork ribs, beef ribs, and chuleton, all of which were of a very high quality and mastered on a grill. Fries were above average. The Enrique Mendoza monastrell was an excellent local red to go with all the bold food. Small mistake- the ice cream, which was fine but not homemade or anything special. This place is a bit pricey. Simple dishes were in the 15-20 range, some meats and seafood in the 22-35 range, and some others in the 80-120 per kg range. Our share of the bill for 2, with appetizers, wine, beer, coffee, 2 entrees, and dessert was €70.

Dining outside will add on a bit of tax, but with such a beautiful view, table set ups, and a bottle of wine make sure you treat yourself & enjoy the ambience their patio provides. We ordered the seafood platter assortment with fried sardines, calamari rings, and calamari bodies. Paired with potatoes braves, and a glass of Cuarto Gotas Rijoa. Absolute perfection: hearty chunks of fresh seafood with not too much breading, not too much oil, and just enough lemon zest. The potatoes had a delicious sauce poured all over, making it lick the plate good. An absolute must dine compared to the choices in the area (the prices were reasonable & the staff was very friendly, with quick service)
