Not what it used to be – I agree that Alma's isn't what it used to be. I've been going here for a few years and used to find the food really quite good. I was very dissapointed last time I was there. The view is still great, and I've always found the service to be pleasant, but the food isn't what it was. It's a shame because I used to really like this place. Although its still light years better than other mexican/texmex places in the neighborhood like Lobo, which is godawful.

Had it's day, now it's just annoying – AGree with the reviewer who had to wait 2 hours. That's not 'hip', that's just attitude. We went to Alma years ago, and had a great time (up on the roof). Though even then they brought the wrong food and we had to wait too long (Kitchen in the basement?) . Now it's just a joke. We went again with another couple, and had (approximately) the same experience -- waiting, waiting, no eye contact, no politeness, groups of people coming in (party of 4) and getting seated ahead of us. The food ... read more

Wonderful evening out! – Right from our entrance into the downstairs bar, I knew this evening was going to be a top NY event! The drinks were very reasonable in the bar while we waited for our entire party to arrive. There were 9 of us total, and we didn't have reservations, and we were hoping to surprise our friend for her birthday. The seating staff was MOST accomidating, taking our cake (with no plating charge) in the back and allowing us to be seated before the birthday girl arrived. We were taken to the rooftop which is... read more

Never ever, EVER go there! – I wish I could put negative stars, because quite frankly this place doesn't even deserve that! From the very beginning you get told one thing by the staff but get extremely different results....Just so you know: an hour and a half wait for a table is in reality TWO PLUS HOURS (and we didn't even get seated upstairs for the "view"), the food isn't worth the high prices and the staff (our hostess and waitress excluded) were the RUDEST BUNCH OF PEOPLE TO EVER BE WORKING IN A CUSTOMER SERVICE SETTING... read more

So much unfulfilled potential... – I was very hopeful at first...cute decor, lovely view, nice service, however the food is subpar here. The $10 guacamole is a shame - watery, overly tart and lacking in all things that make guacamole so irresistible- presenting it in a beautiful Mexican mortar still doesn't make it taste good. The huge, beautiful poor red snapper filet tasted like it was deep fried and cooked in spicy orange juice, and the spinach (also saturated in OJ) was inedible.

DONT BOTHER – Absolutley the worst food and service in New York. Anyone who thinks anything beyond the drinks and view are any good either has no taste buds or has been deceased for quite sometime but refuses to lay down.

Nice view - NO Flavor - NO SOUL !!! – It was a beautiful Sunday evening and we decide to dine at an outdoor restaurant. Drove to Alma with great anticipation on a recommendation from a friend. We sat upstairs on the outdoor patio with a nice view of Manhattan. Our Pineapple and Cucumber margaritas were great. The chips and salsa was good. Everything after that were bland and tasteless. The seafood ceviche (snapper, scallop, shrimp) was mostly shrimp and had very little scallop or snapper. The ceviche, more reminiscent of a E... read more
