For our second date night out after having a kid, this was a great way to enjoy a dinner. Food was excellent, drink list paired nicely to our needs, and service was attentive. Definitely recommend the ribs and caviar bumps. Really enjoyed the duck fat potatoes. The greens accompanying were awesome. Filet was cooked perfectly - needed a little salt. Thanks for Jeff for looking out for us.

It had been a while since we had been to ALMA. The food is better than ever. Loved the chicken quesadillas. The cornbread is insanely delicious. Try the corn pudding for a real taste sensation. even the grilled salmon was a standout. Nice service. We will return soon.
