Almond - New York

I absolutely adore this restaurant! The food is consistently amazing. It's a beloved favorite in the neighborhood, so it's heartbreaking to see it shutting down.

Disappointing. I couldn't believe that people were on line waiting outside. Just average. Inside the noise is unbearable. They should consult an acoustic specialist. We ate outside which makes it OK. The waiters are stressed out which is not relaxing for the guests. Obviously they do the best they can. They push for more food too so.

We really enjoyed the food. Fresh flavors, nice pour of wine. The trout with kimchi was excellent. Beet salad also excellent. It’s an expensive area so not cheap but creative, tasty and fair prices. We were not rushed. Outdoor seating was cute and comfortable.

This restaurant used to be a favorite in the neighborhood! We have enjoyed many meals here, including an engagement party dinner years ago. When we found out that Almond Flatiron was closing on May 25, 2022, we made reservations for two last Thursday and for four last night on the 24th. Unfortunately, our experience on Thursday was disappointing as the escargots were not hot, cooked in oil instead of butter, and lacked flavor. My companion's duck was tasteless and my medium steak au poivre was served very rare with only one peppercorn. By the time they brought me a medium rare steak (still with no peppercorns), my dining partner had finished their meal. On Tuesday night, despite assurances from Ricardo that they would take care of us, the mussels were watery with minimal wine flavor and no garlic or herbs. The agnolotti pasta was good but not hot, and the cod wrapped in banana leaf was also cool. We did not receive any special treatment and had to wait a long time for our entrees. Overall, it was a very disappointing experience. We are uncertain if we will visit Almond Bridgehampton this summer.

The restaurant had an excellent menu with delicious food. Each of us ordered something different, allowing us to try each other's dishes. The service was top-notch, with water being refilled promptly without needing to ask, which was much appreciated on a hot day.
