Alejandros Bar Restaurant — Restaurant in Orihuela

Sad to see a once special La Zenia restaurant suffer due to staffing issues. We ate there on a Friday evening and ordered the set meal. The salad was a salad - maybe a rabbit or a veggie would have a stronger opinion but to me it was wet green stuff. The main was baked cod in a lime sauce and was very nice. The dessert never showed up, despite asking several times. The bill never showed up after several times of asking. What is wrong with youngsters that have jobs and they just don’t want to wait on tables??? When that is their job??!! Eventually we had to go to the bar to pay the bill. For the first time eating here we left no tip.

Best advice - very good for breakfast. The young mother who is on shift is really happy to serve and will treat you like a valued a customer. For dinner, I’d suggest waiting until that young mother’s children grow up and she switches to the evening shift.

If anyone could let me know what the desserts taste like, I’d be...

This holiday I have had nothing but positive posts to share. Tonight we ate at Alejandro’s Bar and Restaurant. Previous experiences have not been positive for me, but during the meal I said to my wife I’m glad we tried again as the food was fantastic.

But, 30 minutes of being ignored after we finished our main course was enough for me. I know I’m on holiday and have all the time there is, but that was too much for me.

I had to go to the bar and get a menu and still we were ignored. Eventually I went to the bar to pay our bill, as no one was coming round our area for me to ask for the bill.

I explained to the bar staff and the owner we wanted more drinks, a desert and coffee but no one was interested after we had our main course.

All I got was a sorry, but they didn’t seem to care really as we had made our main spend.

In the years to come I will NOT go there again. — eating dinner at Alejandro's Bar...

I generally don't give such a detailed review but Alejandro's deserves one! I have eaten pizza in several different countries and all across the United States. I've had every style of pizza that one could imagine but the pizza I had at Alejandro's was hands down the best pizza that I have EVER eaten! I ordered pizza with cheese, ham, mushrooms and artichokes...it was amazing! The crust was thin, yet chewey but still crusty on top and bottom (phenomenal!) And the sauce was flavorful and well balanced but light enough to let the flavors of the individual ingredients stand out! Well done!! Also the sangria and garlic gambas are both...
