“Great view-OK food”
“You would think we would have had the good sense to stop there but my friend insisted on dessert.”
“Yes, on weekend nights be prepared to wait about an hour for a table, but with the great bar downstairs, it's not a big deal.”
“The food is still pretty good, but it used to be really delicious and interesting, and now is just above average.”
“For the humans, the beer selection, juke box, and friendly staff make for an afternoon or evening of surefire fun.”
“The service was not the greatest the night I was there--it seemed as if the 2 waitstaff members were googly-eyed and newly in love, and therefore we did not exist, but aside from that, it is a great, cozy, appealing place.”
“The service was slow and stand-offish, as other reviews stated, and I actually did see an insect at the end of our meal, like one of the other reviews mentioned, but I'd still go back here any day.”
“Below average food, very rude service, very uncomfortable ambiente, nice view.”
“Looking for a nice meal at a reasonable price?”
“The service was friendly, but slow and a little forgetful.”View Less
great nightclub. Alma Lounge is a welcome haven for anyone looking to make an evening in an intimate, posh environment. The sleek interior, softly lit bar and flashing light displays make this club a thankful reminder of what the NYC club-scene is all about: good looks, good service, and a seamless atmosphere.…
BEST FOOD EVER YEE HAH.
Alma is a great place, anything with mole is mad awesome. The wait staff are super nice, really attentive, and makes you feel welcome, which is such a change from other places. A great place to bring
visitors of NYC and a great place to hang for the local residents.

Perplexed by all of the negativity.
I have been going to Alma since it opened, and I still eat there nearly once a month. I cannot fathom what some of the other reviewers have experienced since I have always received good service, and
have enjoyed every meal I’ve ever eaten there.
Their menu is seasonal, with a lighter fare in the summer (try the fish tacos), and hearty meals in the winter. Some of their dishes (such as the chicken mole) are on the menu year-round, with good reason, they are great. Everything they do with pork is extremely tasty: the pork taco is pleasantly spicy and the pork stew (pozole) was amazing this past winter. I was sorry to see it removed from the summer menu.
They serve brunch on Sundays with an altogether different menu – it is not to be missed.
Yes, the wait can be long, but that is to be expected since the food it is worth the wait. Especially if the weather is good, plan to spend some time at the bar with the friendly and knowledgeable bartenders. Hands down, they make best margaritas I’ve had locally. The pool table and jukebox are free – so the time spent waiting passes very quickly.
Do not let all the negative reviews keep you away. Go to Alma and judge for yourself. You will not be disappointed.…
terrible waste of money, except the view is free. a very disappointing evening. I ordered the charcoal grilled shrimp over hominy with wine, lime chili sauce. It was almost inedible. The shrimps were over cooked and tasted like they'd been marinated in dirty dishwater. I didn't taste any limes or wine in the sauce. It was dirty looking. Incredible unprofessional. I have no idea what they have going on in the kitchen but trust me its not worth the $100 you'll be spending on two entrees and 3 cocktails.…
