Casa Almenara: Tulum Cuisine & Craft Bar

"Brunch and bottomless mimosas are served every day the restaurant is open, starting at 11:30 a.m. on weekdays, and 10 a.m. on weekends. Led in the kitchen by chef Nelly Terraza, expect dishes like empanadas stuffed with steak and Oaxaca cheese, steak and eggs topped with chimichurri, huevos divorciados, and shrimp and grits served with crispy polenta during brunch. The restaurant transitions to dinner and cocktails in the late afternoon." - Eater Staff

"After closing 10th and Piedmont and G’s Midtown, owner Gilbert Yeremian replaced both restaurants with Casa Almenara: Tulum Cuisine and Craft Bar. And it serves brunch and bottomless mimosas, Wednesday through Sunday, for $20 a person. Look for steak and eggs topped with chimichurri, huevos divorciados, and shrimp and grits served with crispy polenta during brunch here." - Beth McKibben, Sarra Sedghi

"It’s hard not to think of Katy Perry’s “Hot N Cold” bop while eating at Casa Almenara in Midtown. One minute we’re loving the spicy, fresh flavors of the jalapeño-sauced salmon tostada, and the next we’re disappointed by the bland aguachile ceviche. While the small plates had some tasty moments, most of the entrees can best be described as fine. Their updated and fashionable interior with trendy wicker lighting fixtures (every chic restaurant in town seems to be using the same damn lighting designer) is perfect to sip rather good cocktails like the fruity Cheesecake Martini. So basically the move here is to drink with friends and only order small plates like the tostadas or nachos. It’s important to know your strengths." - Juli Horsford

"After closing his restaurants 10th and Piedmont and G’s Midtown in early January to make “improvements” to the kitchens and dining rooms, owner Gilbert Yeremian is set to replace both in the coming weeks with a new restaurant serving Mexican fare. Located at the corner of 10th Street and Piedmont Avenue, just beyond Midtown’s famed rainbow crosswalk, Casa Almenara: Tulum Cuisine and Craft Bar takes over the spaces formerly home to 10th and Piedmont and G’s Midtown. Yeremian, who says it’s time to “introduce a new chapter of our restaurant history” into the two spaces, describes Casa Almenara as a “neighborhood destination” for Latin American dishes, centering on foods found in Tulum and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula. Almenara means “beacon” in Spanish. Like the food, the design for Casa Almenara will lean into the lush coastal vibes of Tulum, with breezy neutral tones, reclaimed wood, and green plants throughout the dining room and bar. Look for brunch served in the morning and early afternoon, followed by dinner and cocktails in the evening. Yeremian also plans to host a live entertainment series called Tulum Nights during dinner at Casa Alemenara." - Beth McKibben
