Jonathan Gold says his review of Alma is his first “hat’s off” review since he returned to the LA Times. Unlike the myriad gastropubs around town, he describes Alma as a very personal restaurant. The menu changes daily, but be sure to start with a seaweed and tofu beignet and the toast with jam and liver.
