Vanilla ice cream, chocolate syrup, creme anglaise.
Alicante, Palm Springs CA
This was a very sweet and heavy dessert. I could only take a couple bites then I was finished. It had some good flavors, but was way too sweet for my taste.
Macadamia crusted chicken scaloppini, spicy tomato sauce, Spanish achovies, patatas bravas. $22 (apparently)
Alicante, Palm Springs CA
OK, this was LAME! We actually had ordered the veal marsala (and were charged for the veal marsala), but we were dining with friends and had a lot of food so by the time our entrees came around, we just went with the flow. The pollo alla diavola dish was decent, but I’m kinda mad that they still charged us for the veal which was $4 more. I don’t have much patience for dishonesty or carelessness.
Spaghetti, tomato, parmigiano-reggiano cheese, basil. Half order $8
Alicante, Palm Springs CA
A half order only got you one meatball which was kinda lame, but the singular meatball was tasty and tender. Still, it’s all pasta and the meatball just looked lonely so I don’t think I’d order this again.
San Jacinto Mountains.
Free-range chicken, pesto, sundried tomato, feta, mozzarella on a gluten-free crust. $13
Alicante, Palm Springs CA
This pizza was pretty good, but I wasn’t sold on the gluten-free crust. It had a weird, hard texture that didn’t sit well with me. It didn’t have that airy, elastic quality that’s SO fulfilling about normal pizza crusts. I sometimes try to eat healthy, but I’ll probably stick to gluten-full pizza crusts, hehe.
Fried parsley and capers. $6
Alicante, Palm Springs CA
I don’t think I’ve ever had calamari presented quite like this. Usually when I’ve had stuffed calamari it’s served whole and you cut it yourself, but these were already prechopped into small pieces. They were pretty small and prefect as finger food, but then you had to fiddle with the individual capers.
Joshua Tree National Park.
Garlic, cherry tomato, chilies. $6
Alicante, Palm Springs CA
This dish was light and refreshing, but I guess I was wanting something more rich like a traditional gambas al ajillo. There was more citrus in this preparation than garlic and butter. It was still pretty tasty, but not what I was craving.
Large rock formations, Joshua Tree National Park.
I love a good sangria when you’re eating tapas. Sometimes I actually prefer it over a glass of wine because to me it’s easier to drink and isn’t as rigid in flavor. Pitcher $12
Alicante, Palm Springs CA
The pool is ready for use!
Baby romaine leaves, roasted garlic dressing, cherry tomatoes, croutons, white anchovies, grana padano. $10
Alicante, Palm Springs CA
I enjoyed that this salad wasn’t tossed and that you could mixed the ingredients yourself as you liked. The dressing was on the tart side though, but I really liked the whole white anchovies.
Sliced baguette. Complimentary
Olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
Fresh muddled blood oranges, mint, lime, Captain Morgan Lime Bite. $10
Alicante, Palm Springs CA
Uh, this drink was super tart and the flavors weren’t sharp and crisp tasting so as a result it wasn’t very refreshing. Not my favorite cocktail…
Rainmaker Fountain, North Palm Canyon Drive.
