I never get tired raving about Alma Nove. The food is delicious, the staff so professional. There was a new item on the menu today, beef and barley risotto, so good I'd like to go back to day and relive the whole experience . Every detail was perfect, thank you for making our anniversary so special.

About the restaurant

Chardonnay's is a casual yet elegant restaurant featuring eclectic new-American cuisine and a carefully chosen wine list that includes twenty wines by the glass and many more by the bottle. We do not take reservations for the bar or the bar area, sorry. Those seats are first come first serve.

This was our first time and I am very pleased to say that we will definitely be back again. The atmosphere was really nice. They have an outdoor garden area which is beautiful, unfortunately it was rather chilly so we decided to sit inside. The menu is quite diverse with something for everyone. We ordered the salmon and the steak tips which were both delicious. Our waitress Tracy was very attentive.

The mussle appetizer was delicious and plentiful.The bread and dipping sauce was very tasty and a good amount always a plus in my book.My wife got the seafood stew.It came in a pot that was boiling and was delicious and a large portion.I had the veal parm and spaghetti .It was average but a good size it came with spaghetti.Ive never had homemade pasta but was chewy perhaps undercooked or I just don’t like their pasta.All and all would return and try something different. Food came in a timely manner and dinner didn’t show up right on top of appetizers.Server was new and did an amazing job on her first night.

We were customers at their old much smaller location. The new larger location is awesome! Our server was fun and wonderful - just the right amount of attention. The special tonight was a pork shank with gnocchi and sliced apples and my husband said it was one of the best meals he's ever had. The scallops and risotto with mushrooms were perfect! We will be back!
