    The Chicory Salad and the Shepherds Pie were excellent. The biscuits were totally outstanding. Wine list is limited, but the French Chardonnay and red blend were superb. Service was amateurish at best. So many issues with the waiter, bringing food late, reaching across the table to pick up dishes, not bringing plates or utensils on time. Would go back for the food. Hopefully, the waiter gets some training.

    The food was excellent, but the service was very slow. It took 10 minutes before a drink order was taken and another 10 to receive said drinks. Food was presented beautifully, but the woman who brought it to the table didn’t appear to be having a good evening. Our server was friendly, but not intrusive. Overall, it was a good experience. Branzino, duck, pot de crème, and chocolate cake were all excellent. Tightening up the service timing would have made it an excellent evening.

    We were so looking forward to dining @ Alice B., & we were not disappointed. When we lived in LA, we probably went to City Restaurant almost weekly. Moving to Boston in ‘97, our palate changed. So (3) of us transplants were transported last night: by far the Best Meal we’ve had in our (5) winters in the desert. Sean was helpful, & gracious. Our server, Nicole, could not have been more skilled & accommodating (whomever does the hiring @ AB is to be commended). Pork shoulder? Never had it, ever. Took Nicole’s recommendation: so grateful. Salad, biscuits, branzino (being a Bostonian, fish in the desert sounds like an oxymoron ), chocolate cake - everything was Perfect!

    The food was outstanding, the service excellent. The patio is perfectly comfortable but it is a shame the space does not allow for a deeper seating area, and additional shade.

    We loved the menu and the tastes and the presentation of each small and large course. Dario was an excellent server and even added some extra lighting to our table. Those biscuits were out of this world.

    Another wonderful meal her! , Our server Paul did a great job of taking care of us with describing the specials and cocktails. We started with the biscuits and the olives. both wonderful. I had the Date apple salad which I love with the butter beans quite yummy. 2 of us had the Bronzino which I feel is the best in the desert. and One of us had the special Baja swordfish which was also great! Desert we had the Salted Pot De Creme . A very fun and delicious meal!
