We had another great meal from Restaurant Alma! The food here is always very good: fresh, creatively combined, and beautifully presented. I like their food sourcing. I feel the wine list is on the pricier side for what it is. The service is just good. The San Fransisco style seating makes it difficult for the waitresses. I had a waitress... more

I had the tasting menu with my bf. Our starters were tuna tartar and homeade ricotta, middle courses polenta and risotto, main entrees duck and pork tenderloin, and a milk chocolate roulade with espresso ice cream.

the bison tartare was awesome! The Squab and pheasant were over cooked and a bit boring. My server was also kind of odd..I will definitely check it out again! more

The food was fancy and great, however, my personal exprience there always sucks. I broke up with a best friend one time, and had a so called last supper there again. Nightmare for me.... more
