A coupon came in the mail for $15 off at Alice's when you spend $40 or more. Not one to let coupons go to waste, we went on Friday night. To start, Ian had a limoncella martini which was quite strong. I thought he was being wimpy, but when I had a sip, turns out he was actually under-stating the strongness! Good value for our $6.
Then some tasty bread with olive oil with garlic and cheese dipping sauce (for free). Some bruchetta (to bolster the food bill up to $40). Then Ian had some spicy chicken seafood dish with rice and veggie (about $18). I had the portabello agnolotti with cream sauce ($14 or so). Both very tasty.
Ian then went all out and ordered the brownie sundae ($6). Pretty good but not huge, as the waitress had promised. In fact, barely enough for big eating Ian.
Service was a little suspect, they had enough people, but the people were just annoying. Like the hostess, who forced her way past a waiter talking to a table of customers, causing Ian and I to shimmy between this waiters large rear end and the tables on the other side. As Ian would say, "Awkward with two A's". We could have taken the other aisle to our table.
Our waitress was a bit freaky, and kept promising "2 minutes to bread", "6 minutes to bruchetta". She was way off though, the bruchetta came in like 2 minutes! Then she had to back-track and promise that it was indeed in the oven for a bit. She even corrected me when I ordered bruchetta with an "s" sound in there. Apparently, at Alice's, you are supposed to say it with a "hard c" sound. What was I thinking???
Even with the coupon, I think we ended up spending $50...not too bad considering the amount of food that we ordered.
The place seemed packed with the after work bay street crowd, who obviously don't mind the somewhat expensive prices.
