Almanac - City of New York

My husband and I had a great time at Almanac. We attribute the evening's success to a combination of great food, service and ambiance. The restaurant is very warm and artistic, the server and staff super attentive, and the food just hit the right point every time. We loved all of our dishes, but the acorn squash in the acorn salad was just perfectly grilled, tender and seasoned.

Almanac was fantastic. The oysters were amazing, the best I've ever had. Also, I loved the beef short rib which was braised and grilled to perfection. The wines were fantastic as well, a white from the Jura, a lesser known region in France and a red from Piedmont with some great age on it from 2005. Will definitely return!

Almanac is fantastic! My friend treated me to on my birthday. We indulged in their 8 course tasting menu. Well worth the price tag. You can taste the freshness in each perfectly executed dish. Do not pass up the duck, it was amazing! The service was spot on from the hostess to the bus boy. I'm surprised Almanac doesn't have a Michelin Star yet. The atmosphere is casual, yet refined. It's very cozy. I recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great experience. I will definitely be back soon.

When I lived in New York, my favorite restaurant was mas(farmhouse). I had already left NY by the time Almanac opened, and it's been on the top of my list ever since. Now that I've had a chance to go I already can't wait to go back. The wine list is incredible, and the food is just perfect . Every item on every plate is integral to the dish. The flavors are spot on and the menu did not feel heavy, as a lot of tasting menus do. Bravo!

When my wife and I walked to the front of 28 Seventh Avenue South we were blown away by the huge windows that opened on to an equally stunning interior. The food certainly didn't disappoint. We got into a loving family discussion about which dish we loved the most. The jury is still out on that as we were never able to come to a general consensus on the winner. Needless to say my wife and I give this restaurant our highest recommendation.
