Tasty food overall, no complaints there. The fish dishes were fresh and bright, and the aubergine was really nice. The popular cocktail (and the gin) was nice. Service was quite slow, though, and many of the dishes felt a bit too similar in flavour – there wasn’t much distinction between them. The pork tacos were fine, but I didn’t like that the waiter insisted we get one each and looked at me oddly when I said one portion would be enough (one portion = two tacos, which we planned to share, as we’d already ordered multiple dishes). All in all, good food, but nothing that really stood out for me. I might give it another go sometime in the future.

Honestly blown away. Easily the best restaurant we've been to in a while. The food was spectacular, service attentive and a really great vibe. We went hungry so definitely ordered more than normal, but no regrets, we made it through it was all too good! We will certainly be back

Excellent food. Professionally prepared and served. Sat at the bar. Very comfortable and spacious. Started with the celery salad and had crayfish as a main course. Sourdough bread was also a winner. One of the most tender and flavorful lobsters I have eaten...5 star preparation/presentation by the chef. Best meal in 2+ weeks in NZ.

One of the best restaurants in Auckland, I’d say. The service was amazing! Unfortunately, we got a tougher part of the steak, so it was a bit chewy, but both the chef and the staff handled it so quickly and kindly that it completely made up for it. It actually turned into a perfect experience in my memory. The tuna crudo left me speechless, and the anchovy dish and pork taco were awesome too. Definitely coming back here again

Beautiful food, excellent quality and delicious flavours. Every aspect of the food + drinks was great. Best restaurant I have come across with some of the best food I’ve had. Minor let down was the uncomfortably long wait between the entrees and meals, then receiving a warning about needed to vacate our table. Looking forward to my next visit.

Even after a month, we still talk about this place. The ambience was beautiful, the service was excellent, and the staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing, with so many different flavours done really well. One dish that completely surprised us was the anchovy and tomato tostada. I honestly didn’t expect much from it, but it turned out to be our favourite. We ordered three dishes and two desserts, which was more than enough for two people and let us try a bit of everything. Overall, a really memorable fine-dining experience and definitely worth it.

Agree with others. Wow! Most delicious and creative dishes I have had in a long time! Anchovy tomato dish was killer as was the lamb dish and the pork panchito. Service was also top shelf with deep knowledge of each dish. Wish I could share this restaurant with friends back home!

Located on the waterfront of Aucklands Britomart area and in the heart of downtown among many excellent hotels and dining options lies the Spanish themed Alma restaurant. In general the food is very tasty and follows the sharing concept. The design is very nice and cozy with first rate staff. Sit outside and watch the evening descend on Aucklands harbour front or sit inside and take in the busy scenery! We enjoyed the wines by the glass selection that had a good balance and verity matching to the delicious food. Enjoy the evening
