I had the pannbiff with mashed potatoes--the combination of red onion, cucumber, and lingonberries was spot on. My partner had the steak with red wine sauce, and it was equally delicious. You have to try the pecan and apple pies. As an American, I know my pies--and these were incredible! Still warm, and served with vanilla ice cream that melted perfectly over the top. We already want to go back!

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***

I had a delicious hot chocolate and my husband says his coffee was really good. They have a small selection of pastries. No churros but donuts! 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.
