What People Are Saying About Almond Restaurant
The Editor
Josh Ozersky
Citysearch
In Short – Almond has long been a favorite of Hamptons residents for its solid, unpretentious food and mood, and the team behind the summer favorite has moved the concept more or less unchanged into a Flatiron space that has had more restaurants fail there than there are stars in the sky. The restaurant is betting that a long and meaty menu of comfort foods (lamb belly daube, roasted lobster, breaded veal breast "milanese," truffled macaroni and cheese) will do the trick, if accompanied, as here, by a warmly colored room of whitewashed brick and prices attuned to recession pocketbooks.

What's all the fuss about?
by rickinnyc
My friends all rave about the branch of this restaurant in the Hamptons, and think this one is only slightly behind. What are they thinking? Have they no taste buds? Several friends and I went for dinner recently, and everything we ordered was as tasteless as hospital food. I kept wondering if they had run out of salt and pepper in the kitchen. Yes, the scallops were perfectly cooked, the mac and cheese was nice and creamy, but nothing had any flavor to speak of. Yes, the cocktails were quite good. Maybe they figure if you drink enough of them, you won't notice that nothing has any flavor.
- Pros: cocktails
- Cons: very bland, boring food

Nuts for Almond!
by prlgirl
Went here on a Wednesday night and it had a nice bar crowd. Had drinks and snacks with my friend and thought it was an overall great experience. The bartenders were friendly and made great suggestions on drinks and eats. The mac and cheese is not to be missed and we really enjoyed their desert. The space is airy and had a fun vibe to it, the design had a bit of a Balthazar feel to it but with wood ceilings. I will definitely go back for the food, bartenders and the scene.
- Pros: mac and cheese, bartenders
