    An incredible experience at Kumoya at the sushi bar. Very helpful and friendly sushi chefs and manager. The manager was kind enough to even share a garnish recipe with us. The cocktails were complex and thoughtful. The food preparation was exquisite for the rolls, nigiri, and cold appetizers. The waygu tartare with foie gras shavings and milk bread is not to be missed! My other favorite was the 10 day dry aged amberjack nigiri. Can’t wait to come back!

    Shawn and Mike, thank you for making my boyfriend and I’s first experience at Alma Fonda wonderful. Mike was very attentive and very informed about the menu. We were blown away by how much flavor each dish had, portions were most definitely perfect for sharing. We LOVED the halibut and the scallops and couldn’t stop talking about the food after we left. Shawn, thank you for being so kind and remembering that I called ahead to take care of the drinks for my table. Thank you again, you will see us again soon and I have already recommended you guys to a few of my friends!
