“One of my all time favorites. Alma is always a special experience. Comfortable yet classy. The ambience is quiet enough to carry a conversation, but busy enough to feel lively and interesting. The food and service are exceptional. A prix fixe menu, with options! We always try to get one plate of every dish, if possible! Make plans -- you'll be glad you went!”
“I can’t rave about this restaurant enough! We had a fantastic dinner (surprise standout being the Lemon & Crab Orzo—simple, but amazing!) and had room for a modest, but nuanced and flavorful desert as well. Come for the food—it’s seasonal, fresh, subtle and lovely—but return for the service, which was so on point that I’d send many a Michelin star restaurant staff here to learn about real “hospitality”. We had impeccable service from Esther, Belle, and everyone who engaged with us, which was truly much of the staff. Fantastic experience, and one for the “must recommend and return” list for certain!”
“Food was 4.5 stars, service was 100/10. The service and ambience at this place was so spectacular that I felt like I was in a magical candlelit oasis being served food by a fairy who knew everything I wanted. Our waitress Gracie was such a vibe and did an amazing job that elevated our experience to 5 stars. This was a perfect date night spot to celebrate our 4 year anniversary, and they gave us 2 rounds of champagne on the house to help us celebrate. The food tasted amazing, was presented beautifully, and none of the dishes disappointed. Our favorite dishes were the SAUTÉED WILD ATLANTIC SALMON and the SOURDOUGH & PARSNIP BRUSCHETTA (runner up SEARED SEA SCALLOPS). All 3 of these had us looking at each other in amazement with every bite. The other dishes we had were great, but less life changing. I’d say the TOASTED RYE & BUTTERMILK CREPE is skippable. Even the bathroom was bougie, and all of the staff impressively knew every detail about the complicated dishes being served to us. While Dario’s doppio and mushrooms were more life changing than what we had here, Alma is overtaking it to be my new #1 favorite restaurant.”
“My wife and I had a fantastic time at Alma. They have a great menu that is very thoughtful and delicious. I typically do not have very high expectations of service, even at fine dining restaurants these days. However, Alma truly went above and beyond. Every member of the staff that we interacted with was kind and informative. Our waitress was excellent and very knowledgeable of the wine pairing as well as the menu. I appreciate that gratuity is included in the cost I normally am not a fan of pressure on tips. However, we were so impressed with our waitress that we added an extra line to put an additional tip. As for the food, it was all fantastic. Everything was perfectly seasoned, and the flavor combinations and textures were all spot on. I was particularly impressed with the quality and cook on the scallops as well as the salmon. The wine pairing that my wife had was fantastic. I ordered wine à la carte and was equally as impressed. Probably the best wine I’ve had on a menu and was such consistency across the different types. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone.”
“Very nice (and pricey) dinner with colleagues. Food was excellent, great flavors and unique combinations. Portion sizes could have been a bit bigger for the cost. Overall, a good splurge and a memorable experience.”
