Almond Restaurant in Bridgehampton will celebrate its 15th anniversary on Tuesday, April 12, with an event to benefit local photographer Eric Striffler, who lost his belongings in a house in fire last month.

Childhood friends Jason Weiner and Eric Lemonides opened Almond in 2001 on Montauk Highway, and moved a mile east to 1 Ocean Road in 2011.

A cocktail party from 7 to 9 p.m. will include passed hors d’oeuvres that highlight favorite menu items of the past 15 years. Cocktails will include donations from Amber Waves Farm in Amagansett, Jersey City alcohol wholesaler Southern Wine & Spirits, Channing Daughters Winery in Bridgehampton and Paumanok Winery in Aquebogue. Karaoke, with a cash bar, will begin at 9 p.m.

Advance tickets, available at almond15.eventbrite.com, are $40. Admission at the door is $50, cash or check. Call (631) 537-5665 or visit almondrestaurant.com for more information.
