    Had an exceptional dining experiencing at DaiLo to celebrate a birthday. Did the chefs choice tasting menu and everything was delicious and food was so abundant we had to take some home. Great value. Service was impeccable with great attention to detail and ability to customize. We had told them one guest was pregnant and one couldn’t do spice & raw onions - without ever reminding, dishes that required tailoring were always brought out with those specifics in mind to ensure all our guests had an enjoyable meal they could actually eat. Lots of staff who were very attentive throughout always filling water, clearing plates and checking in with warm conversation. Would definitely come back.

    As usual, afternoon tea at the Lobby Lounge was amazing. The food was tasty and the service is always top notch (you feel cared for and important). The piano music is beautiful but maybe because of the way the lobby is designed it can sound kind of loud and you have to speak louder to have conversations.

    Simply put, Alma is one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. Anywhere. Staff is fantastic, ambience relaxed, romantic - in a word, perfect - and the food is consistently inventive and championship level. When we go, we choose the “Trust Alma” option on the menu, and we’ve always been lost for superlatives to describe each dish. A true gem!!
