Seasonal, Local & Artisanal Since 2001

Co-founder and chef Jason Weiner creates seasonally focused ever-changing menus that are guided by a market driven ethos. We highlight our personal relationships with growers, fishermen, artisans and winemakers.

Our menus are artisanal and market driven featuring some updated takes on classic french/mediterannean cuisine, regional street food and lots of stuff in between.

We are obsessive about the handmade...We hang our own charcuterie, grind our own sausage, ferment our own kimchi, dry age own steaks, and smoke our own fish & bacon.

The wine list, handpicked by co-owner Eric Lemonides, offers an affordable selection of wines. Specialty cocktails, NY craft beers, and raw bar selections, along with the entire menu are available at the restaurant’s 25 seat bar.

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.

This used to be a neighborhood favorite! We have had many dinners here and even an engagement party/dinner (years ago). When we learned Almond Flatiron was closing on May 25, 2022, we quickly reserved a table for 2 last Thursday and for 4 last night the 24th. On Thursday, the escargots (our favorite) were awful. They were not hot, they were in oil, not butter, and there was very little flavor. My companion's duck was tasteless. My "medium" steak au poivre arrived very rare and with only one lonely peppercorn! By the time they returned with my "medium" steak (this time medium rare and with zero peppercorns) my dinner partner had already completed their meal. On Tuesday evening (after being told by Ricardo that they would make sure to really take care of us to make up for Thursday), the mussels were watery with only the slightest taste of wine - no garlic/no herbs) and they were not hot (my friend sent them back), the pasta (the agnolotti) was very good, but also not hot at all, and the cod wrapped in banana leaf was also cool. There was absolutely no special treatment and we had to wait a very, very long time to get our entrees. Overall, very disappointing. Not sure if we will even go to Almond Bridgehampton this summer.

The restaurant had such a good menu. The food was so delicious ,each of use got something different . We were able to try something new from each other’s plate. The service was excellent. Never had to ask for more water on such a hot day.

Almond is one of our favorite restaurants because se the food is always great and the ambience is wonderful. We are outdoors and enjoyed all of the dishes. I especially loved the lemon ricotta pancakes and my husband loved the duck hash.

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.

It was a Sunday meal. Limited menu, but not a bad selection. Good quality produce. I just wish we had the option of the typical lunch menu, not only the brunch menu on the weekend, as I had my heart set on the weekday menu, I guess, when I booked online. Not a put-off, though. I will come back.

Not the server's fault but there was a giant party that took all of the attention of the bar and staff. I wish they would have just closed but instead they took my reservation and our poor server was run ragged while we sat and waited forever for service. Bummer because I love this spot and the food is amazing. Our server did his best but the party killed our dinner and made me so stressed out since we had plans after. No comps, nothing but a hungry and thirsty group of people left waiting. Poor management, awesome food, good staff...it will be a while before I suggest coming back.

A Birthday lunch for a dear friend . I haven’t lived in NYC for 11 years and I always loved this place both the Bridgehampton and the NYC restaurant . Good service and ambience is wonderful. They had a good value Prix Fixe that exceeded my expectations and my lunch mates felt the same way . So glad I chose to revisit this place on my trip back to my old neighborhood .

Almond was a great Sunday brunch experience from start to finish. I had booked a table for 5 inside but asked for outside upon arrival and they were able to accommodate. We started with beers and bloodies from their great booze menu. And, there were so many yummy things on the menu we had trouble narrowing it down so had order the truffle mac & cheese as a starter for the table to share. We then moved on to the tamales, a cheesy croque monsieur, a goat cheese and greens omelette and the homemade chicken sausage. The food was served hot and delicious and the portions were so big we could have easily shared. The service was fantastic throughout and I look forward to going back again soon.

Glad we found this place. We were able to get in on a Saturday afternoon and not wait. Glad that they had burgers and Mac n cheese, for a younger crowd. They tend to be picky eaters. But everything was delicious. Specially the fries. Recommend to go and its also across the street from Harry Porters store. It was convenient to go eat while we waited for our number to come up for HP.

Made a reservation for a party of six for a work team dinner. Everyone was impressed with ambiance upon seeing the outdoor seating when we approached the building and especially when we went inside. It’s absolutely beautiful! The seating was comfortable as well—we didn’t feel crowded. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful with suggestions and patient with us as we made conversation with them when deciding what to order. We ordered a variety of cocktails and everyone was pleased—second rounds were a must! The appetizers were outstanding and you can tell the food is extremely fresh. Highly recommend the kimchi fries, Brussels Caesar salad, duck taquitos, and the buffalo cauliflower. For dinner, our group was highly satisfied with the strip steak, roasted duck, banana leaf wrapped fish, and roasted chicken. One of my coworkers is planning to bring his wife! We were all thrilled with the food which was hearty and definitely had a comfort style to it—seasoned perfectly! If you’re looking for a a quaint date night or a group dinner spot with a cozy atmosphere and some hearty delicious food—this is certainly the place! I will 100% be coming back.
