The best value for Happy Hour! New extended hours 4-7pm. We sat at the bar and ordered many appetizers, all were great. Nice waitstaff, cool vibe. We stayed for 3 hours eating and hanging out talking to people at the bar. We will be back for dinner!

Never disappoints! Tuna tostada and Octopus appetizers are exceptional. Alma is always there with suggestions if you are having trouble choosing from the menu. Staff is always friendly and attentive.

I can't comment on the food because they didn't have the delicacy to serve me, the man who was at the bar (swarthy) nor the waiter who was there, didn't even answer my greeting when I entered, of course! It must have been because I'm not "American", I still wanted to try the food, but with that service, terrible, the strange thing is that the employees who were there are not Americans either! A lot of discrimination, those 2 employees have nothing in terms of service.

Pretty nice spot, will be back. Loved the decor and the Tuna tostada. Service was a bit slow but we didn’t mind it.
The atmosphere is casual and inviting and the service is without flaw. It was difficult to choose among the many appealing appetizers and our writer's suggestions were perfect. The individual dishes were artfully seasoned. It was our 3rd time dining there and it seems to improve with each visit.
We felt bad for the server who was covering the entire full dining room by himself, but he did an excellent job. The food was very tasty and super convenient to the theater next door.

Title: A Delightful Culinary Experience at Alma BistroReview:I recently had the pleasure of dining at Alma Bistro, and it was a truly delightful experience that left me eager to return. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the exceptional quality of the food. From the best Tuna tostada I've ever savored to delicious Brussel sprouts, a mouth-watering burger, and exquisite ceviche, each dish was a testament to the chef's remarkable culinary skills. The empanadas and birria tacos, enjoyed by a fellow diner, were also praised for their deliciousness, underscoring the kitchen's consistent excellence.The owner's presence added a special touch to our experience, as she attentively oversaw the restaurant, ensuring everything ran smoothly. This level of dedication to customer satisfaction was palpable and contributed to the warm atmosphere of Alma Bistro.While our waitress seemed to be managing the entire dining area on her own, which is commendable, her demeanor was somewhat less welcoming than expected. Despite this minor setback, it was clear she was doing her best under the circumstances, and it didn't detract significantly from our overall experience.Alma Bistro has proven its worth not just on this visit but in previous experiences as well. Having dined here shortly after its opening, I was impressed to find that the quality of the food has remained exceptional. It's evident that Alma Bistro is dedicated to culinary excellence and customer satisfaction.I look forward to my next visit and am hopeful for an even more pleasant dining experience with the addition of more trained and enthusiastic waitstaff. Alma Bistro is a gem that continues to shine, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for an outstanding dining experience. 4 stars.
A neighborhood gem. Great food, service and good vibes. Good attention to the small details that make a restaurant fun and enticing to go to. Also, like that owner (Alma) is there making sure her guests needs are being attended to.
Delicious and original! Love the tapas. Tuna tostada and yucca fries amazingVery reasonably priced drinks. Great vibe and service.
