This place is a 10/10. I would recommend it to my friends. The daily happy hour is awesome and the portions were good, too. 10 dumplings for $5! I will take that any day! John was also a great waiter!

This was our first visit to the restaurant, but it won’t be our last! The food was great. We loved the vibe and the service was fantastic!!! We highly recommend the Suya beef appetizer and the very spicy plantains (can’t remember the name of the dish). Great wine and cocktails! There’s nothing wrong with this restaurant (though I a bit more salt on the short ribs would have been good) and we understand why it’s so difficult to get a reservation. But we’ll keep trying to get there again.

Always 5 stars! It starts when you open the door and you still feel great at the end of the evening. I'm running out of ways to express just how good dining is at Alma Nove. The food is exceptional, prepared perfectly every time. The dinner specials are creative and delicious always worth a try. My wife and I go there for special occasions and sometimes just because we want an outstanding meal. Thank you to Paul, Sean, Donnie, Paul, and Denise for always making our visits so special. See you soon.
