We stayed in the area and besides that this was really convenient, the food was really good. The service is also very good and atmosphere is relaxed. We had the grilled seppiolina and the baby octopus for starter: and a good start is was. As a main we both had white fish with spinach: it tasted great! The Pinot Grigio... More

I was in Dumbo area to attend St. Ann's Warehouse Theatre, and planned to eat at another restaurant that i found closed due to hurricane damage. Wandering around looking for something not pizza, I sat down in AlMar. The waiter was very welcoming. The space is comfortable and unpretentious. In the center is a large communal table. I sat at...

The place was excellent. 1) didin;t even know they had Happy Hour ON A SATURDAY NIGHT---which was awesome, I think they said they begin... More

Normally we stay in the Heights but this trip we landed in Dumbo. It was raining and we were not up to the traverse to Henry Street so we cris crossed Front to see what looked inviting. AlMar had that "come on in" feel with the owner standing at the door smiling. 7PM, half the tables were occupied so we... More
