We have been frequent diners at Alma's for a while now. I recently visited and while the food was delicious, some aspects of my experience could’ve been better. The waitress was doing her best, but she seemed to be handling the entire restaurant on her own, which led to slower service. I also noticed there was only one bartender for the whole place, which resulted in long wait times for drinks. We were done with dessert and the waitress wasn't even able to get back to us to ask us if we wanted another drink. Also, when the drinks arrived, they were mostly filled with ice, which made them feel less worthwhile. Also, they seem to have trouble with the heat in the restaurant, they had portable heaters to help. In the men's bathroom, there was no water coming from the hot tap, just cold. While I enjoyed the food, next time, if I’m craving their dishes, I’ll probably opt for takeout to avoid the long wait. Hopefully, with a little more staff, the experience would be much smoother.

The food is excellent, and for some reason it is never very busy when we go there. The appetizer choices are numerous. One time we just ate several of those, but two of our group had the burger, which they said was delicious. I had the Chicken Chacha - cha, which was unique and really, really good. If you come here once, I guarantee you will come back.

The small plates were great to share or to have as individual apps. The sides were great, especially the Brussels sprout! Very flavorful and plated nicely. The coconut flan was delicious and we will definitely be back to order the other items we didn’t get to this time!
