My husband and I recently went...

My husband and I recently went on a date night dinner cruise with a few other friends/ couples of ours. After much debate on how we were going to spend this much needed date night we all came to the conclusion that Al and Almas sunset boat cruise would be the perfect destination, and it was. The weather was perfect as was our service throughout the evening. The cruise was peaceful and relaxing yet fun and entertaining. The slow cooked ribs were delicious; my husband was able to even go up for thirds. Over all it was a great evening at a reasonable price; we were happy with the food, service, and atmosphere. We will definitely be coming back, maybe even with the kids.

The best ever

We just spent the evening of July 4 on Al and Alma's newest boat the Bella Vista. The 4 hour cruise and dinner was the best experience ever - not to mention a front row observation point for the Excelsior Bay fireworks. We have taken perhaps 5-6 dinner/cruises with Al and Alma and have never been disappointed --- the cuisine is excellent and their food preparation secrets provide for fresh, juicy, and appetizing food that was somehow prepared at their land-based restaurant and kept fresh and hot aboard the boat until dinner time. Their ribs and chicken are the best (extremely tender and NEVER dried out!), there is ample food for all, and the lemon bars and brownies are a wonderful treat. The staff is always enthusiastic and accomodating and actually ENJOY their jobs! The prices are a bargain for any of the their many cruise options. We cannot recommend it highly enough - this locally owned business strives to please and the result are the best!!

Another Great Dinner!

We just celebrated another family birthday at Al

Al & Alma's is a great place to celebrate any special occasion!!

We want to let everyone know how much we enjoyed our wedding cruise. Our crew; JC, Tara and Jamie were a very energetic and efficient group. They decorated our tables beautifully, added our special touches, put up the banner we brought and made it look very festive. They also helped me get our iPOD hooked up for the cruise and subsequent wedding. Our captain was very tuned in to our crowd and found a quiet spot for the ceremony. Our servers, Tara and Jamie were charming and worked tirelessly to insure that each guest enjoyed their favorite beverages. They also set up and served the buffet, which was bountiful and delicious as well as beautiful! Finally, they served the Norwegian wedding cake and made sure everyone had a chance to have a piece. They accomplished all of this with enthusiasm and smiles. All in all, it was a lovely evening that will live in our memories for a long time. Thank you all for helping us to make this day for our son, his wife and all of our guests!

Great Job Al and Almas!

Our staff was just reviewing our team building events from last year and looking forward to this summer's events. Our team voted overwhelmingly to return to your place for another cruise event. From start to finish we had a great time, the food was perfect, Jamie and Kelly our servers were gracious and Nick our Captain made things fun by telling us all about the lakefront homes. Our office team loved the cruise so much that we are going to come back with clients this year as part of our appreciation program. Thanks also for the cruise for two from your rewards program that we recieved to attend one of your public cruises, we used the tickets as a gift give away at our holiday party.
