Built from the ground up, handcrafted by the four owners, each of the three floors offers a unique atmosphere. In 2002, Alma opened its doors under the auspice of Chef Gary Jacobson. Carrying on his tradition, Chef Francisco Lopez continues to create and recreate traditional Mexican cuisine with some newer additions added this past year. The beverage program has also expanded to include a multitude of tequilas and mezcals to accompany the cuisine. The rooftop at Alma provides open air in the summer with unrivaled panoramic views of lower Manhattan. Views, equally spectacular, can be viewed in the main dining room from large French window and mirror lined walls.
“Me and my boyfriend checked this place out for Valentine’s Day, the food was great we had tacos and chicken wings which were delicious!!! We were literally in a trance eating our food cuz it was so good! The drinks were amazing also! The service was fast u won’t be waiting for your food for more than 10 mins which is great. They also have a rooftop but it doesn’t open until April and the owner let us know that it does get busy and packed so reservations are usually needed . Definitely go here it feels so warm and welcoming the owner definitely is attentive to your needs and will make sure u enjoy ur time here which I love . Check this place out what are u waiting for?!??!!!”
“Alma is a whole vibe -- from the rooftop to the last bite! If you're looking for incredible rooftop views, flavorful food, and strong drinks -- this spot checks every box. We ordered a few platters and every protein was cooked perfectly. You could really taste the care in the seasoning -- fresh, bold, and totally satisfying. The guac was super creamy with just the right amount of lime and heat, and don't even get me started on the frozen margaritas... they were freaking bomb. Refreshing, well-balanced, and definitely packed a punch The ambiance is unbeatable -- cozy but lively, with those dreamy skyline views that make your meal feel extra special. And the service? So warm and attentive. The staff made us feel welcome from the second we walked in and checked in throughout the night without hovering. This place is perfect for date night, catching up with friends, or just treating yourself to some rooftop magic. I'm already planning my next visit!”
“We stopped in for a quick drink and snack while we were in the area. Alma has a perfect corner bar feel and what looked to be an excellent menu, based on the food we saw coming out. My only regret here is we had other plans and didn’t stay for dinner. We grabbed chips and salsa and the salsa was not only homemade tasting, it was one of the better salsas I’ve had in recent memory. We’ll plan better next time and will be back soon!”
“We had a great birthday dinner here and the view and food did not disappoint! Awesome rooftop spot for sunset drinks and food overlooking the Manhattan skyline. The queso app was the only thing we found wasn’t worth it but otherwise all the food and drink was delicious.”
“I went for a brunch with my family, in addition it was my mom’s bday. The food was really good, the drinks as well were good and strong. The Love Bird in particular was really good. You definitely have to sit on the rooftop as on a nice day the views are really nice and adds to the enjoyable ambiance of the spot. Highly recommend for brunch, I can’t say anything for dinner but I imagine it’s solid as well.”
