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 c

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.

Though I've long been a fan of Alma's cafe, especially their grain salad, my partner and I had the opportunity to dine in Restaurant Alma last Saturday to celebrate our anniversary. Our server was kind, approachable, and knowledgeable. We chose the seasonal menu, and it did not disappoint! Our favorite items were the focaccia with turnip bruschetta and white anchovies (the presentation of which was GORGEOUS), the buckwheat rigatoni with oyster mushrooms and shaved black truffle, and the panna cotta with ginger crumble and kumquats. Additionally, we were given complimentary champagne, celery root soup with sturgeon caviar, and coconut macaroons. My partner and I are frequent consumers of fine dining content on YouTube, and this was the first time we had the opportunity to try caviar and uni

★★★★★ 5.0 R.E. Marshall · Jan 2026

Amazing experience! Much like the food I've enjoyed in their cafe, every course of this dinner was unique and delicious. The atmosphere is nice - tables aren't crowded so it's not loud. Every person working there was knowledgeable and genuinely friendly. This is a perfect spot for a treat-yo-self night out.

★★★★★ 5.0 John Hulleman · Jan 2026

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.
