Alicante Restaurant & Lounge

This is one of the finest dining establishments in the town of Mendon. A majority of the tables have a beautiful lake side view, and the rest of the tables are entirely three dimensional. The service is the best I have experienced in Massachusetts, and the seltzer with lime was pure and bubbly. I highly recommend this restaurant but please be sure to make reservations.

Last visit was 15 years ago? Back in Mass for a wedding so we went back. The service was superior. There were so many excellent meal choices I was overwhelmed.
From the start, everything from our drinks to the fresh rolls till the end was fantastic.
The appetizer was the eggplant. I could have eaten just a plate of that and called it a day.
My wife got the beef short ribs and I had the pork loin based on the servers recommendations. Could not have been better. Memorable meal. Will visit next time we're in Mass.

Ww cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and the staff. They went above and beyond in serving us. Very cordial, friendly and efficient. The food was superb. The cocktails were equally as good. Bartender, Debbie, sure knows how to make great cocktails to satisfy. Hostess, Julie, was very friendly and accommodating and our waitress, Leah, was very friendly, efficient and accommodating. Even the owner, Chris, was friendly and obliging

Amazing food. Service was great! I got the rack of lamb and it was delicious!!

Haddock with shrimp and linguini was excellent!!
Our server was wonderful and went into detail on the specials for the evening. The view from the lake was outstanding from just about any seat in the restaurant.
I would highly recommend!!

My now-husband and I held our wedding rehearsal dinner at Alicante, and it was an amazing experience. We had eaten there a few times prior, and the manager himself came over to go over everything with us and show us the space after we said we were thinking about booking. They had an online portal for the event booking and were responsive with questions via email, even when management changed. The food was amazing, especially the rack of lamb, everyone raved about it. The service was good - our event hostess let everyone know about the event menu and even gave a toast to us which was sweet, and there were no issues even though we went over the event time block. The atmosphere was beautiful and romantic on the water for our event, and very close to our wedding venue. Easy decision and great experience! We look forward to going back for special occasions!

Make a reservation and enjoy this fantastic restaurant. The bolognese and stuffed pork were phenomenal and the staff was very friendly and attentive. Banana and strawberry cheesecake was out of this world. We had a nice view of the pond behind the restaurant and got to enjoy the sun setting. We will be coming back for sure.

Easy to make a reservation on line. Was seated right away at the exact time. No waiting. Service was awesome and she was very happy and friendly. Food was great and came out quick and hot. Great place to drink and eat. Thanks for your hospitality

Sitting at the bar, with a nice lake view, wine and some great food, makes for a wonderful evening, every time for me and my girlfriend. We always try something new, and we simply enjoy our time there, the atmosphere, etc

Excellent service, food, atmosphere and views. We had tuna sashimi and chanpinhones (stuffed mushrooms) for apps which were delicious. I ordered haddock for my entree and it was truly amazing with capers and reduction. Julie, our server, was top notch and down to earth. Thank you.

This restaurant is a foodies idea of perfection. The mediterranean menu has a wonderfully diverse array of selections.. sure to delight every palate. The service is unobtrusive yet attentive to every detail. The outdoor seating option is certainly a plus with water views that make for a spectacular back drop. Superbly crafted cocktails!
This boîte is a must!!!

I had the rack of Lamb and it was perfect. The Lamb was medium rare with a nice wine reduction and the portion was huge!
Served with Garlic mashed and a grilled sliced zucchini.
You have to come here and try it.
My date and the salmon dish that was cooked perfectly melting in her mouth.

Love this restaurant. !!! Went this past week. Had the best blood orange martini and the best lamb chops. Cooked perfectly. Super super waiter in the bar area.

Nice place in the heart of Mendon, MA right on route 16.
Great option for a special ocassion dinner. Excellent food, Mediterranean and portuguese inspired but they also offer other international options.
Well trained staff and great service.

Great location, outstanding food and service. They now take reservations. You will love the lively atmosphere and view of Lake Nipmuc. Service is outstanding and the bar crew are lots of fun. Another wonderful meal here and very entertained by the amazing bar tenders and head chef.

We had a lovely evening out celebrating a special person with a large party. The appetizers we tasted great but portion size are small. Our server was attentive. I did had to send a plate back not because of quality but because I was having a reaction. Another plate was brought out. Thank you for the ambience and great service. I did bring back a slice of tiramisu. Looks like someone got to it last night.

The food is phenomenal!! Like Deeeelicious!! The parking on the other hand is not great, just come 10-15 before your reservation.

1st time there. Food was crazy the staffing was amazing the service is amazing everything's amazing. The location is amazing the place is amazing I'm definitely going to go back again and again. And wherever you're at it's worth the ride in the price was crazy amazing not high what so ever. I be back . Again. And is free valet which is the best. FYI don't forget to tip them lol

I have been going to this restaurant for about 15 years and every time I go it gets better. It is my favorite restaurant , the service, the food, the drinks and the view are to die for. Keep up the good work.

The experience was fantastic (again) ! The atmosphere is great. The servers were friendly and extremely professional. The meals, this time pork loin and rack of lamb, was better than anything at the “famous” restaurants in Boston. The appetizers and desert were excellent as well. The chief was unbelievably accommodating, making my wife with her gluten sensitivity feel comfortable and safe. They even had a nice surprise for us to celebrate our anniversary. We are very fortunate to have such an establishment in our region.
