Bartenders muddle and infuse; wines evolve to reflect the variety of the Italian countryside and climate. Descend the grand staircase, hunker down and, really... try the burrata.

    Dining at Mezcaleria Alma for my partner’s birthday was such a treat for the both of us. The entire team was attentive yet gave appropriate space. Everyone was excited about what they were serving us, from cocktails, mezcal, to each plate. We loved everything we ate. It was delicious and thoroughly enjoyable, not just a beautiful presentation or cool experience (which each plate still was). Definitely recommend Mezcaleria Alma for its thoughtfully curated food, drink, environment, and service.

    Noth never disappoints! On this occasion, the restaurant was extremely busy and getting started with service took 15 minutes or so, which is unusual. Maybe they were short waitstaff? Once our service was engaged everything rolled along very smoothly and our server Jordyn W was excellent! Our meals were cooked to perfection and delicious.

    We enjoyed a wonderful meal there. Each course was better than the last! Might not have ordered the halibut or the sirloin and instead paid more attention to the smaller bites. The sauces were amazing, the guacamole out of this world! Highly highly recommend! Service was impeccable, friendly, informative, fun. I’m picky about my margaritas and there’s were amazing! We also tried the avocado. Margarita, delicious!
