"Dinner at Alma reminds us of a fancy Thanksgiving supper without any family drama. The prix-fixe meals go hard on using local produce and start with a spread of antipasti and light bites like chickpea griddle cakes, prawns, and pear-topped endive salads. Then, you’ll get family-style mains such as gnocchi with lobster and duck flavored with smoky poblano peppers and fresh paprika. The recommended wine pairings are definitely worth it, but you also can’t go wrong with the refreshing, aquavit-based dill martini. It’s a nice meal that feels special and probably won't be interrupted by that chaotic cousin who brought their pet ferret to dinner." - stacy brooks
"Tucked into a cozy brick building on University Avenue, Alma is a lovely date night spot that’s especially accommodating to vegetarians. In addition to its regular prix-fixe menu (with dishes like marinated fig bruschetta, seared Maine scallops, and lemon soufflé cake) there’s an entirely separate version for vegetarians (think torchio pasta with wild mushrooms, chilled sweet corn soup, and roasted cauliflower). It’s also attached to a hotel of the same name — make date night a weekend stay, if you’re so moved." - Eater Staff
"First opened in 1999, Restaurant Alma has a longstanding reputation as one of Minneapolis’s finest restaurants. Chef Alex Roberts’ prix fixe menu changes regularly, but expect elegant — though never ostentatious — dishes like buckwheat parmesan crepes, New York strip in a smoked wild mushroom jus, and strawberry rhubarb parfaits with creme fraiche ice cream. The restaurant has an extensive wine list and is known for its accommodating vegetarian menu. Dim and intimate, it’s far and away one of the Cities’ most romantic restaurants." - Eater Staff
"Dim and intimate, Alma is far and away one of the Cities’ most romantic restaurants. Chef Alex Roberts’ prix fixe menu changes regularly, but expect elegant — though never ostentatious — dishes like foie gras bread pudding; red beet farrotto; and caramelized tiramisu. The restaurant has an extensive wine list and is known for its accommodating vegetarian menu. The regular tasting menu is $95 per person ($78 for the vegetarian tasting menu); wine flights are $48 per person." - Justine Jones
