From my balcony, I frequently observed Alex, a consistently busy restaurant offering both indoor and outdoor seating, a full bar, and a comprehensive menu. Intrigued, I decided to dine there for dinner. One notable feature was the availability of a breakfast buffet, a detail I appreciated. The restaurant also thoughtfully provides English menus, which significantly eased communication and eliminated the need for numerous inquiries about unfamiliar dishes. Our waiter was initially very attentive, promptly taking our order and checking on us. However, obtaining the bill proved to be a bit of a wait. While this might have been due to him allowing us ample time to finish, we did find ourselves waiting longer than expected. The restaurant itself exudes a cozy and quaint atmosphere, and remained bustling throughout my visit. While I personally wasn't particularly fond of the dish I ordered, I sampled other menu items and found them to be quite delicious. Overall, I enjoyed my dining experience at Alex. I would definitely recommend it and plan to return to try other dishes. The restaurant's consistent popularity and thoughtful touches, like the English menu, make it a worthwhile...

Read moreDesserts and drinks are the only things that I have purchased from "Alex," so this is just to preface my review that it doesn't cover the majority of the meals.
While it's only a select few items I've tried, I have gone there countless times, and every time was excellent. I'd usually come here right after dinner from another restaurant. I was told by a server that I could sit wherever I wanted, and I usually went upstairs where there was less people and more intimate. The servers spoke fluent English, and were attentive to my table.
I tried a variety of their alcoholic drinks, with my favorite being the "Swimming Pool." As for dessert, I loved their churros, strawberry cheesecake, and red velvet cake. Sometimes the cake tasted a bit too grainy and old, which is likely from it sitting in a glass cabinet on display.
