Service was pretty slow tonight because the restaurant was super busy, but atmosphere and food were terrific. Oddly, they claimed to be out of avacados and everything related, like guacamole, even though there are at least 4 grocery stores within 1.5 miles. When I ran a restaurant, in such siruations we sent an employee on a grocery run so product to customers was not compromised.
Too bad owners decided to close this location. The choice for their new location shows...

We stopped by Alma for their Happy Hour before heading to the theater, and we wanted something a bit lighter and 'easy to eat' before the show, and they have a great variety of small dishes.

Alma delivers an upscale, visually inviting atmosphere, but the experience didn’t fully live up to its polish. The dining room is lively—bordering on noisy—and service felt disorganized for a large party, with uneven timing across tables. Cocktails and pours didn’t quite match expectations, and while the al pastor was bold and saucy, it strayed from the familiar. Come prepared for style over substance.
