"A California-Mediterranean restaurant inside an LGBTQ senior community in Palm Springs by Mary Sue Milliken and Susan Feniger." - Rebecca Roland
"Chefs Mary Sue Milliken, Susan Feniger, and Lance Velasquez opened Alice B. in December 2023. The California Mediterranean restaurant is located inside an LGBTQ+ senior community but the restaurant is open to the public. The restaurant serves Townie bagels at brunch, while the nightly dinner menu includes a smattering of small plates, like short ribs with potato croquettes and yellowtail amberjack crudo. The branzino entree comes sauced with a celery root remoulade, while the grilled ribeye is served with crispy potatoes, parsley butter, Worcestershire vinaigrette, and black pepper cream." - Eater Staff, Mona Holmes
"Alice B. is a restaurant located in Palm Springs, known for its retro midcentury Continental cuisine with a California twist. The restaurant is part of a luxury apartment community for 55-and-over LGBTQ residents and offers a unique dining environment. Los Angeles Times critic Bill Addison highlighted the restaurant's role as a communal haven where guests can reflect on personal and historical memories, particularly those related to the AIDS epidemic. The collaborative effort by Susan Feniger and Mary Sue Milliken brings a heartfelt culinary experience to its patrons." - Matthew Kang
"Chefs Susan Feniger, Mary Sue Milliken, and Lance Velasquez recently started brunch service at their newly opened restaurant Alice B. The trio created a cheddar sausage biscuit sandwich, Basque-inspired challah French toast, and a spring vegetable egg white frittata with a bagel from legendary local bagel maker Townie Bagel." - Mona Holmes
"People-watching is a draw at most Palm Springs spots, but at Alice B, it’s on a different level. That’s because this fairly solid American restaurant from chefs behind Border Grill is located on the ground floor of a luxury retirement complex geared toward the LGBTQ+ community. You won’t find a typical PS crowd of tourists and bachelorette parties here. Instead, you’ll dine next to groups who’ve been friends since the 1970s, who live upstairs, and walk down nightly for cheddar biscuits, chicken cutlets, and several rounds of martinis. It’s a special scene, just don’t expect to be blown away by the food." - Brant Cox
