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***

When the sun is out and it is warm, this place must be busy. Today was rainy and cold and the outside seating was enclosed but leaking. The bar person was accommodating even though I did not speak good Spanish.

The piña colada was a bit too strong, which kind of takes the taste off a bit, but the Cuba libre is prepared in front of you with enough rum to bring down a raging bull. While 5 plates of tapas are enough to feed a party of 5, I saw other main dishes being brought out and they could easily feed two people instead of one. And they looked tasty too! All in all, it's a good inexpensive place for some good food just on the beach.

I was looking for a low key place to eat some tapas and have a few drinks so we ask a local taxi…read moredriver that suggested this place. He said it was very popular among locals because it had a chill vibe, service was great and food and drinks were cheap. We arrived around 3pm and easily found two seats at the bar. The inside space is super small, make sure you don't go in rush hours, usually at dinner time is packed. Right away a girl came to take our order and we ask for two 'Tintos de verano' which is a traditional summer cocktail in Spain. The amount was generous and the taste wasreally good. We also order some 'Jamón de Bellota' and 'ensaladilla rusa'. To be honest not the best quality but it was ok. I love foia gras so I asked the chef for a tapa with it. He prepared the most delicious tapa right on the spot. Overall, the staff is super friendly, food is good and price is even better!
