Another great experience at the Alhambra! Service was exactly what you would expect from a restaurant situated within the St. Regis, food was excellent, and my day was made better from this visit. Thanks to the team.

Lovely little spot tucked away in an unassuming shopping area, with a touch of Greece inside (white cycladic-like walls with blue arches and red flowers + Greek music). Great service & delicious food across both small and big plates. We got the spanakopita + calamari + Opa platter, which was a lot of food and we stayed for a while (the wine ultimately did it). They could improve some of the aesthetics (lighting, menus, signage, etc.) and the service layout (to-go pickups kind of walk past some of the dine-in tables). Owner was very nice & said they are working on it though. Overall highly recommend and looking forward to coming back.
