"Alma is a nice little restaurant with a great bar, outside dinning is a must, eat late enough and you can listen to the live music near the huge fire out just 50 feet away. Service was outstanding. Hostess a actually read my open table comments and had the table I asked for ready."

"The ambiance was pleasant but the food was neither tasty nor well- presented. We had a reservation and the restaurant was not full but we still had to wait 10 minutes for our table. We called the restaurant several times to make a reservation but the telephone was never answered so we used Open Table."

"This restaurant is overlooking the fire pit and pool area of Hawk's Cay Resort. It's also right next to their other restaurant OCEAN, which was full of kids when we were there sitting outside. There was a screaming baby for about 30 minutes of our dinner, which was SO annoying! Their wine list by the glass is thin, at best. My wedge salad was nothing special, although my husband really enjoyed his meatball appetizer. We both ordered fish: me yellowtail and him mahi (dolphin). They have this 'house seasoning' that is just disturbing. They coat all the fish with it, it's got cloves and very odd stong spices in it that just don't meld well with fish. The sauces were completely tasteless. Not great. They also added 18% gratuity."
