My husband and I made a reservation the day before. When we arrived, we were greeted in the foyer. Welcoming and friendly staff helped us to check in and escorted us to a private balcony. The seating area was beautiful and secluded for the majority of our experience (which was a major bonus.) service was amazing. Our waitress knew just when to check in and offered privacy for us to enjoy our dinner. Each dish was explained very well and flavor was impeccable. A truly unique experience. The seasonal menu that was offered exceeded our expectations. My husband and I had a lovely time. Definitely recommend for a special occasion.

First timer. The food was good. Service was good, HOWEVER, she wasn’t consistent with pouring the wine. I kept getting more than my husband so that’s why that is a 3 instead of 4. The best dish was the fish dish then the soup. The tartare was ok. The polenta was bland and disappointing, but the mushrooms were good on top. The duck was good, but not amazing. Same with the pasta. The dessert was yummy. Spending over 400 dollars was not worth it though.

I recently had the pleasure of indulging in an unforgettable tasting menu, and it was a culinary experience that exceeded all expectations. Each dish presented was a masterpiece, but a few truly stood out. The mushroom-truffle broth was an aromatic delight, bursting with umami flavors that enveloped the senses. The lamb chops were perfectly cooked, tender, and juicy, with a seasoning that accentuated their natural taste. The salmon was a standout, its flaky texture paired harmoniously with a delicate sauce that highlighted the freshness of the fish. The shrimp, orzo, and pasta offered a delightful medley of textures and flavors, while the rigatoni was rich and comforting, a true testament to the chef’s skill. Beyond the exquisite food, the service was impeccable, with each server attentive and knowledgeable, enhancing the experience without being intrusive. The dinner ambiance was just right, with a soothing atmosphere that made the evening feel special and intimate. This tasting menu was more than just a meal; it was a journey through culinary excellence, making it a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in an extraordinary dining experience.

My husband and I have been wanting to try Alma for the longest time but the pricing has been what was stopping us. We love enjoying new experiences but love to get our money's worth and sometimes these course meal experiences are a hit or miss from previous experiences we've had. Anyways we decided to take a leap of faith and dine in for our anniversary and this was our rating Atmosphere/Parking/Greetings - 4/5 We arrived around 630pm and was able to locate a small parking lot in the back of the building designated for Alma guest only. I initially didn't see the parking or any signs that there was a parking lot in the back. My husband was the one who pointed it out. If you do street parking, it looked busy around this time. Walking into the building it's a little unintuitive on where the restaurant is as there are no signs. The doors have Alma Cafe written on it and no Alma Restaurant. The host desk to be seated to the restaurant is hidden behind a wall next to stairs if you enter through the café left doors (there are multiple doors...) so I wasn't able to see him nor really determine where the restaurant was without looking lost lol. Entering the restaurant atmosphere in general is small and intimate and overall more quiet than most places. We overall do not have a problem with this. Seats were comfy and water was wet. We're good here. Service - 5/5 We had the pleasure of being served by Giovanni (excuse me if I misspelled the name). He greeted us right away and was professional, informative, and just overall very pleasant. He gave us some champagne to celebrate our first time in Alma which my husband and I were very pleasantly surprised about. Because my husband and I are more casual people we enjoyed his little breaks from being super fancy with us and just being personable and relatable. We enjoyed the service. Food - 4/5 The food was good and cooked perfectly. Nothing was overcooked or undercooked. However, my reason for 4 star rating is because even though it was good, it was nothing out of this world that we'd come back for for the price that we paid. I did the wine pairing with the food and honestly felt happy with my decision ($60 addition). Our server was nice to top off my wine with no additional charge. Overall - 4/5 In summary, if you're looking for a fancy first time course meal experience, but aren't too adventurous with your flavors, I'd HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.
