    Cute mural
    Courtney N.

    We were taking a back route around the Worcester area and stumbled upon this ice cream and food shack. I'm not sure how close to Worcester but it was relatively nearby. I loved the mural with the chef chasing the food items and the pirate themed art was pretty cool. They had a huge list of soft serve ice cream flavors along with a nice list of hard flavors. You can also order items like fried clams and hamburgers. We went with the banana soft serve and the blueberry soft serve. One scoop in a cup and you got a lot of ice cream! The blueberry was amazing. I've recommended it to several friends. Yum. The banana was okay - it had that fake banana taste which really was noticeable when compared to the blueberry. Nice flavor but not awesome like the blueberry. I'm sure we'd stop in again if in the area, pretty cool find.

    Food was good, service was window service. The staff I dealt with were very nice. Was too chilly to hang out and eat so I took our meals to go. Fish and chips with onion rings were tasty, good portion. Cooked properly. Double hot dog combo with cheese sauce was also good. Grilled rolls, grilled dogs. Fries were crisp.

    Well done burger?

    I don't come here much because they always seem to get my food wrong. Our burgers were pink inside and we asked for well done. The girls taking the order were nice enough, but it took forever and to not even have our burgers cooked all the way through. I asked for a single onion ring and got a bunch plus thickly chopped raw onions all under the burger. So that was an unpleasant surprise. Oh, wouldn't recommend the smoothies either. I asked and they don't use actual ingredients or real bananas, just a pre-boxed mix in a blender. Nice variety of regular and soft serve ice cream can be ordered at a separate window to the left of the food order window.

    Foot long chili cheese dog

    I'm going to be back and review some other items. This review is just based on the foot long chili cheese dog. I would give it a B-. Not bad. But for $4 I expected a bit more chili and cheese. I probably could have eaten 3 of these. But then I'm $12 deep and could have gotten a lot more food for that money.

    I have only been to Pirate's Cove a handful of times and I've lived in whitinsville for almost my entire life. Recently, I've been craving hot dogs like wild and vaguely remember getting them here a year or two ago and being blown away by quality. This time around, I ended up getting a #4 combo which includes two footlong hotdogs, fries and a can of soda for around $7.50. Not bad for the price! I ordered the dogs with mustard and ketchup but I do have to say they put way too much on. So much, to the point where I was scraping it out of the bun and off the dogs. The hot dogs were grilled but they didn't have the snap casings (I'm a snappy casing kinda girl). The girls working at the counter and behind the scenes are doing a great job holding it all together through this crazy time. They were very nice and personable. I do have to say, I'd come back next time for their ice cream. I NEVER knew they sold Gifford's ice cream! That's some premium ice cream I see myself consuming in the near future, for sure!

    Chili Cheese Fries, fried pickles, and 2 fish and chips with onion rings
    Confidential A.

    The food is amazing and the girls at the counter are always super cheerful and sweet. Love the outdoor seating and the fried pickles! They also have amazing ice cream - apple pie ice cream is their new special flavor for fall and it is to die for!

    More soft serve flavors than W. E. Creamery.

There was no valet service, and the parking lot was already full, but we found a street parking spot very close to the restaurant. We were seated immediately at a window table overlooking the pond, one of Alicante's nicest features. We've dined here many times over the years, although our last visit was disappointing due to sluggish service. Fortunately, this evening proved to be a return to form. Ice water, wine, and warm bread arrived almost immediately as our attentive three-person service team got us settled. While the evening specials were tempting, we opted for two longtime favorites from the regular menu: Piccata di Pollo - $27 Shrimp Scampi - $29 Total with wine and tax: $84.53 Our entrées arrived promptly, hot, and beautifully prepared. The chicken piccata was exceptionally tender, complemented by a bright, flavorful lemon-butter sauce. The shrimp scampi featured perfectly cooked shrimp in a classic butter and garlic sauce that was well-balanced and not over-seasoned. As always, the portions were generous--enough that some of the chicken accompanied us home. After one less-than-memorable visit, it was nice to see Alicante back at the top of its game. Excellent food, attentive service, and a beautiful setting make this a restaurant we look forward to visiting again. Tip: Even though Alicante is on Route 16, you can park along the road. Be careful exiting the driver side, it's a very busy road.

The waitstaff seemed to be disorganized and confused. The tables on either side of our table had received a lot of attention and were told all about the 'specials' of the evening by the server. They received bread at the beginning of their meals, we did not. We had the same server as the other tables and she never mentioned the specials to us, and we never got any bread even though we had to ask twice and still never received any. She paid very little attention to us throughout the evening. Not to mention that the food wasn't even the greatest, and the staff was even worse. Never again.

It's somewhat in the middle of nowhere, so why was it difficult to get a reservation for Saturday night? Simply said, great food at reasonable prices. Our choices were 4:30 or 6:30, we chose to go early after a two-mile chilly walk along the beautiful Blackstone Canal, just 7 minutes away from the UxLocale. We were seated immediately and our waitress arrived in just moments. We were provided menus, waters and we ordered some drinks which arrived not long after. There were only a few patrons here as the UxLocale opens at 4pm. The menu changes weekly, and our party of four selected: * Warm Pecorino with Truffle Honey Cheese * Tuscan Shrimp Pappardelle * Tomato Carbonara Pappardelle * (2) 1.5" New York Strip Steak * Cannoli for Dessert Let's start with the steaks. In a word, delicious! Both were cooked perfectly medium rare, tender and juicy. Two sides are included, I got the Beet Salad (tasty and nicely dressed) and the potatoes with bacon which were awesome. A co-diner ordered the same dish but got the Caesar salad which he liked very much. We both agreed, a solid 5-star dinner at a reasonable $37 price. The shrimp plate looked beautiful and substantial. The diner loved it and ate every bite. The Tomato Carbonara Pappardelle was also tasty, albeit with strong pepper undertones. If you don't like a lot of pepper, you might try a different dish, or ask if the chefs can cut back on it. That said, I liked it and would be happy to order this. Most of the diners liked the Warm Pecorino with Truffle Honey Cheese Skillet (slices of Pecorino Romano cheese, warmed to a mild melt and drizzled with truffle-infused honey. The salty, sharp cheese and sweet, pungent honey are a classic pairing in Tuscan cuisine. Warmed and served on a cast-iron skillet). I liked it, one diner thought it was too salty, though that is the way it's described above. The dishes are all large, three of us brought home leftovers. We finished by sharing a cannoli dessert, which was excellent, crispy cannoli with a light and tasty filling. An outstanding dinner, with excellent services at a reasonable price (dinner for four with drinks was $209 before tip). A solid 5-stars on this visit. Note that they request tips be left in cash (for all of us who use little if any cash these days). There is a cash machine when you first enter.

It was a little annoying to have to drive by it, take an exit, then hop onto the other side of the median but it was well worth it. They have a large parking lot in the back of the building for dine in, some parking spots in the front for picking up take out, and some handicapped spots in the front too. Since it was a beautiful day out, we decided to sit outside at their high-top picnic tables with umbrellas. Both my friend and I ordered burgers: I got the Wagyu burger and requested waffle fries and he got the Classic burger. They had originally informed me they didn't have the Australian wagyu beef patty for my burger, but it was a false alarm and they did have it. After about 15 minutes, our order came out. The burger looked very basic, but it was packed with flavor, and I do think the patty made a difference. The patty was moist, a little pink on the inside since I asked for medium well, and very flavorful. The buns were lightly toasted. I stole my friend's tomato and asked for lettuce since it didn't come with any. The onions were delicious and added some sweetness. The fries were crispy on the outside but soft on the inside and they gave a very good amount. I asked for ranch on the side and I liked the fact that it was creamy and thick. Overall, the food was delicious, reasonably priced, fresh, and good service.
