Whistler, What Up?
To be fair Whistler, You must have been having a rotten day and let that affect your experience there. I've been to Almond on several occasions (from an impromptu dinner for two, to a party of ten people) and the experience gets better and better each time. The staff is beyond friendly, the food is wonderful and the atmosphere is fun, casual and energetic. Without a doubt, this is one of the best dining experiences I've had in NYC in quite a while. And the restaurant is packed each time I've been with a great crowd.

Excellent Food That's Not Overpriced.
Went here on a hunch as it has recently opened. Both the skatewing entree and the scallops and pork shank entree were absolutely delicious. I would also recommend the frisee salad, which was very tasty but slightly over dressed. Almond's weakest point is the service, which was slightly awkward and not necessarily friendly, but I expect this to change as time goes on. However, I think the other review about "waiting 60 minutes" is completely ridiculous. I know many people who have eaten here. It may certainly be true, but it is not a commonplace experience. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone looking for a nice night out.

Run away!
This has to be one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had in years. The service from the waiter to the manager was rude, lazy and insulting. I want to forget about this place, so I don't want to waste time writing about it. But here's what I think sums up the night: 1) We had to wait ten minutes to drink our wine because we were told "we don't have any clean wine glasses at the moment." (Did we mention the space was only 3/4 full?) 2. We ordered steak. Waited 60 mins. Still no steak. Asked the waiter (who was a ghost all night, never around). He says, "It'll be out in less than 180 seconds." Ten more minutes went by. Complained to manager. Another 15 minutes before the steak arrives. This place is nothing less than insulting to any educated diner.

excellent newcomer
High energy. Diverse menu and busy bar scene. Best duck confit in NYC. Perfect oysters from the raw bar. Supurb value for Manhattan. Generous drinks. My instant #1 bistro.
