By Kyle Fengler, co-owner of Loaves & Fishes:

Known Them Forever

I would recommend Almond very comfortably and heartily. Jason and Eric are people I've known since I was three years old, four years old, something like that. I've known them forever. They're both dear friends.

Perfect Partnership

Jason's an excellent cook. Eric's an excellent host and a very charismatic person. They both run a great restaurant together - Front of House, Back of House. It's always a fun vibe over there.

The Karaoke Connection

Originally on Saturdays, but now as we're coming into the season on Thursdays, they have karaoke nights once a week. Carlos Lama is the DJ for that. He and his family are also great people. His wife's very heavily involved in Guildhall. He's got two beautiful daughters. Lola has a great band, The Cherry Bombs. They perform pretty frequently at the Stephen Talkhouse and other places out here.

Why It Works

When you've known the owners since childhood and can vouch for both their cooking skills and hospitality, recommending a restaurant becomes personal. Almond isn't just a great place to go - it's a place run by people who genuinely care about creating a fun experience for their community.
