Utzutzu 1428 Park St, Alameda Sushi • $$$$

“I would think the food is just average in flavor. The ingredients are fresh and good quality. However the nigiris themselves are too boring for me. Most of them are dominated by soy sauce flavor, and I can’t taste more layers than that. When there is less sodium then I could get a sense of the taste, but basically are from the ingredients themselves. The ambiance is good and the service is good. Parking is very convenient compared to SF.”

Town Tavern 1437 Park St, Alameda Cocktail Bar • $$

“Final date night before flight home tomorrow. Sausage plate. The British bangers are super flavorful and juicy, goes great with the spicy mustard sauce! The bratwurst is perfect with the kraut and horseradish. The smoked bison is a bit on the dry and spicy side. Reminds me of a Slim Jim. I wish I tasted more bison, but it's still good. The herbed goat cheese and lavash bread is to die for! The herbs are perfectly balanced with the cheese and spreads so easily on the bread!All paired perfectly with Zin-phomaniac red wine!”

“Thrilled to have a one-stop Indian store in Alameda! I'm so excited to have discovered a comprehensive Indian store in Alameda, conveniently stocked with all the essentials we need.

The store offers an impressive range of food options, including delicious home-style North Indian dishes that remind me of authentic flavors. This has been a lifesaver, especially during our kitchen renovation when cooking at home was a challenge.

Previously, we had to travel to Fremont for small items, but now we can find everything we need right here in our own town! Kudos to the store for catering to the local Indian community's needs and providing a welcoming shopping experience. I'm grateful for the convenience and variety they offer, and I look forward to continued patronage.
Only one little suggestion to keep some Indian veggies including curry leaves , green chilies etc”

KARIBU by Wachira 1419 Park St, Alameda Wine Bar • $

“Karibu by Wachira provided an exceptional wine tasting experience that exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the knowledgeable staff, setting the tone for a memorable evening ahead. The ambiance of the tasting room was inviting and elegant, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home.

The wine selection curated by Wachira was truly outstanding, showcasing a diverse range of varietals and flavors that catered to both experienced wine enthusiasts and novices alike. Each pour was accompanied by insightful and engaging commentary, adding a layer of depth to the tasting experience and enhancing our appreciation for the wines.

One wine that truly stood out was the alluring Muscat, with its pronounced flavors of passion fruit and pear that lingered on the palate. I couldn't resist taking a bottle home with me. We were thoroughly impressed by the remarkable quality and complexity of each wine we had the privilege of sampling.

Overall, our wine tasting experience at Karibu by Wachira was nothing short of exceptional. From the impeccable service to the exquisite wines, every aspect came together harmoniously to create an unforgettable evening. I highly recommend Karibu to anyone seeking to elevate their wine tasting experience and embark on a delightful journey of flavors and aromas.”

Lucky 13 1301 Park St, Alameda Bar • $

“The staff here are AMAZING! Is this a dive bar? Yes. Are they gonna look at you funny is you try to order a speciality cocktail that you’re used to getting downtown San Francisco? Yep. But that’s the whole point, you’re here to drink traditional and familiar fantastic drinks! I started coming here with friends a while back and over time many of the bartenders and other employees became like friends! As a woman I always felt safe as they had their eye on everything going on, and I always had a blast anytime I came. Specifically, Peppi and Michelle, really went above and beyond to make me feel welcome. I had to move away and they spent money out of their own pockets to throw my a going away party at the bar. I have never experienced a closeness like this to an establishment where I’m a guest, and it was very appreciated. I am moved away now and very much miss the service and atmosphere I had at Lucky 13!”

This location was originally a Taco Bell, but I love the atmosphere there, friendly, good service and comforting food! It's a cozy place perfect for a cold wintry day to have your own little boiling hot pot of tasty broth and hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Hubby ordered the Lau Pork Bone Marrow and I had the Lau Oxtail. I ordered the Oxtail without the tripe, just more oxtail! The hot pot came out boiling with oxtail and beef balls. All I had to do was cook the egg noodles, taro, tofu, cabbage, veggies into the soup as there was plenty of delicious oxtail and meat balls in the delicious broth! Great for a bone chilling night! Next time I'd love to try the shaken beef!”

“We had dinner there tonight (3/14/24) for the first time and we will be back. Two of the most interesting and truly delicious sandwiches we have ever eaten. I can't remember what mine was called, but it had chicken (roasted perfectly), sauerkraut, cheese and other awesome stuff on a grilled rye bread that was excellent. My bride had the turkey sandwich and loved it. But the star of the show were the Tater Tots. Perfectly crisp with BBQ sauce to dip them in and then into some wonderful real bacon bits. Every tot stayed crisp from the first to the last. The meal was worth every penny and more. Get into the Alameda location and try it. You won't be sorry. PS: The only bad part for me is that we live in Seattle and won't be back down until May. But you can bet I will be eating here then.”

“Probably the most beautiful pizza bar restaurant you're ever gonna find if you think about it.

The food is high quality.

First visit for us and service at our table was a bit of a miss but probably because we weren't drinking. If you drink alcohol pretty much anywhere you get better service because your bill is higher. I still spent 100.00 because you don't go sit down for less than that anywhere unless you're really on some coupon plan which no server likes so..

Great sandwich and pizza!

Great place!

I'd love to sit at the bar and really get more into it not on a Tuesday night!”

Almanac Beer Co. 651 W Tower Ave, Alameda Brewery • $$

“We have been consistently going to Almanac every 1-2 weeks for the last two years. The beer is great; we typically get IPAs, but they have really been diversifying their offerings over the last two years. When we went today, they had two dark beers, a ton of fruited sours; 2-3 lighter beers, and 5-7 IPAs. They also have wine and now a number of frozen mixed drinks (even a pink lemonade option for kids). That leads into how great Almanac is for families; there are lots of big, open tables, so plenty of space for groups; they have both outdoor (open and covered) and indoor areas to sit; and they have multiple food options. Today, they had three food trucks, and you can always get food from the Rake or Firebrand (next door) to go and eat it at Almanac. Last, they have two sandboxes, which is always a nice option for bored kids, and the new offering inside is at least 6 pinball games. This complements the four TVs. As people from Wisconsin, we also love that they serve Sprecher soda!”

“My old pal Luke Oberhere and his little stab Idabee, moved to Alameda last month and just finished unpacking...what a chore! And the best thing about it....their only 5 minutes away from the best Papa Murphy's Pizza in the bay area!So, when Luke asked me to help in put a Grayler's Spricket and Turret up on his roof...I was all in! That'll sure shake up the neighborhood, that's for sure. Being a 4 hour job...I thought I'd hand them a Papa Murphy's pizza when they opened the door, because nothing makes a better housewarming gift than a fresh Papa Murphy's pizzaIt was Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆”

It interrupts the relaxing outdoor environment, I enjoyed sitting to drink my coffee. (I googled the door fan model, and it's an "air curtain" that blows to protect the indoor environment, when the door is opened)”

Applebee's Grill + Bar 2263 S Shore Center, Alameda American • $

“Now this side of the mall I like because there's a lot of people and there is a lot more to see meaning stores eating options.

Kid-friendliness: They do their best to keep kids entertained while they're waiting on their food for example they offer a coloring sheet with a few color crayons, while they wait for their food to be done...

Wheelchair accessibility: Those who use wheelchairs actually have the option of sitting on the left side of the restaurant and the right side of the restaurant, NOT the front.
I actually like sitting in the back of the restaurant because if there's a game playing the most definitely got it on. I think you could most definitely hear the game better from the back to the right side. The opposite direction from the restrooms. Well that's just me. I like to eat in a place where we can enjoy our meal with our love one's and maybe, get away from what's going elsewhere...
...But that's just me!
Lol, either way the food is great & you get to see what waitress or waiter will be good for you...
They'll give you that option.
I always observe and see which waiter he/she is on their p's and q's , While we wait for a table.”

Alameda Island Brewing 1716 Park St, Alameda Brewery • $$

“Alameda Island Brewery is a great place to hang out with friends or socialize. They have a big dining area with lots of space and one big screen TV to watch the game. The dining area was nice and open due to all the big open windows. They also have a large selection of draft beers to choose from which I like. They brew their own beer as well which I have yet to try. They have some flights they can offer. I did try a sampler of a unique beer that was 5% called 'Sarap' meaning good in Tagalog. It was on draft. It's a hint of calamansi in it. It was actually good! I will have to get that again next time. The guy at the counter was cool and friendly.Looks like they share the space with the Fikscue Craft BBQ next door as long as you buy their beers. Which we did! Prices are decent as well. Not a bad place to hang out, and just drink and chill. I know I will be back here again!”

Rang Dong Restaurant 660 Central Ave Suite C, Alameda Vietnamese • $

“The food was good and they gave big portions. You can tell that the staff care about their customers in everything that they do. The price also couldn’t be beat; it was $68 for this whole order.

For starters, there was a mix up with my call in order and I was seated to wait for them to fix it. There was no fuss over this mix up at all. When I was leaving with the order, one of the staff helped bring it out with me to my car and even waited to make sure I got inside the car with my order.

I had the rice with shredded pork + grilled pork, shrimp spring rolls, and the lemonade; chicken banh mi’s was also ordered.

The rice with shredded pork and grilled pork had a good ratio of greens, rice, and meat. Nước chấm (fish sauce mix) was given as well as some paste-y red sauce. Everything was light enough that I could pour all of the fish sauce on. 4/5 taste wise

The shrimp spring rolls were solid. 3/5 for the peanut sauce (I’m more of a just hoisin person) and the roll itself was a 5/5. However, the ratio of ingredients was more greens heavy than I would personally prefer.

The lemonade was okay. I appreciate that the purée was separate from the soda to be combined by the customer, but there was too much soda for the amount of purée given. I would have preferred the drink mixed when given. I was given the drink in a to go cup holder and a spoon to stir the soda with the purée. 3/5 taste wise

The banh mi’s were very filling and good. I was told 4/5. There was enough meat and vegetables; a solid ratio. One person that had this had dietary restrictions and they made sure to accommodate.

Overall, a very positive experience and I look forward to trying the banh mi myself.

Dietary restrictions: For the banh mi, they removed jalapeños and put the pickled vegetables to the side when asked.”

The Star on Park 1400 Park St, Alameda Pizza • $$

“Probably the most beautiful pizza bar restaurant you're ever gonna find if you think about it.

The food is high quality.

First visit for us and service at our table was a bit of a miss but probably because we weren't drinking. If you drink alcohol pretty much anywhere you get better service because your bill is higher. I still spent 100.00 because you don't go sit down for less than that anywhere unless you're really on some coupon plan which no server likes so..

Great sandwich and pizza!

Great place!

I'd love to sit at the bar and really get more into it not on a Tuesday night!”
