50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Alameda

“Hard to reserve seats at this 8 seat only Omakase behind an unmarked door in Alameda. Led by a quality, experience, and diner education obsessed chef who personally selects and imports most of the seafood from Japan.

It is a personally catered omakase bar service of very high quality. They also have a lovely sake selection.

Pricey, but worth it.“

“Over in San Francisco from Perth Australia and popped in for a couple of beers, awesome spot and great beers, staff were super friendly and even grabbed some merch, get yourselves over and support these guys and have a cracking pint or four“

“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!“

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“Perfectly temperatures dark roast makes the 9am leisurely cup all the kick you need to your day, although the delicious options on the menu may keep you until lunch. Thanks for the Dark Brew, Coffee Cultures! <3 ☕️ <3“

“Food was great. Friendly staff and Well trained. Manager Bianca was very professional n knowledgeable on all the food recommended with details. Must try. Will be back again ! 💜💜🍷🍷“

“Coleslaw is slamming. Sweet tea is delicious and flavorful. Dino rib juicy and tender. Barbecue sauce not too sweet. Perfectly tangy. Potato salad good, cools off your tongue from the hot sausage.

Nasi Goreng, yum.

The line was fun, people are cool. You can have a good time there.

Staff super helpful.

Can't wait to come back for the chicken and the brisket.“

“We visited Alameda in April to attend a celebration of life for a family member that we lost suddenly. Our family was in town from all over the country, and we found Cafe Jolie Petit near our hotel. They took such great care of us, fed us meals on three or four consecutive days, and we could not have asked for better service or food during an emotional time. Pastries (Koiugn Amann!), Monte Cristo, and the coffee bar were our favorites, but everything we had was delicious. We hope to be back for happier circumstances at some point, and definitely will return!“

“Cool tour, and The Rake has an excellent selection of their customers’ beers on tap!“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff and sunny warm patio to enjoy it all.“

“I love this restaurant! I eat here regularly and I'm never disappointed. The service is amazing. Staff are so sweet and attentive, and they always accept changes to dishes for allergies or taste preferences. My dad is celiac and can eat practically everything on the menu here--huge range of gluten free options. I'm vegan and there are also so many delicious dishes I can eat, including their vegan al pastor street tacos (which are to die for) and huevos rancheros. They always accommodate my no dairy preference, even when I order online for takeout. Canasta Kitchen also has outdoor seating, which is so nice when the sun is out. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“I've come here two time so far, and I'll tell you this one of the better sandwich shops in Alameda. Located on Webster, this sandwich shop is well decorated, clean, and has a large open space. Very calm environment as well. The hospitality is top notch; the employees are kind and are always asking you how the food was, etc. The sandwiches themselves, are so delicious with spreads, fresh and full of ingredients, just one sandwich order can feed 2 people. They make sure to make your stomach full and your heart happy. Will be coming again!“

“Exceptional all around. A more elegant menu than most restaurants in the area. The people seem to enjoy working there, so the service is friendly and accommodating in an unobtrusive way. The food quality and menu selection is excellent. If the weather is decent, try the patio! We did and it lent a casual elegance to the evening.“

“Outdoor dining in heart of Alameda“

“The restaurant only for the reason of speaking another language within it the employees take Gonchi out of you is Can by the hair also they steal your belongings we made a case for the police“

“Great place & cakes!“

“Delicious. Prices for the amount of food served were incredible. They have virtually no dessert. Not a place to satisfy a sweet tooth. I was more than I. Pressed with our main server in every way. Every other interaction with staff was delightful. I tipped 30%.“

“love it for a afternoon treat w the kiddos“

“As someone who just moved to the neighborhood and is currently 9 months pregnant, I was craving some good Dim Sum. Decided to take a chance on Uber/Postmates delivery. I was blown away and pleasantly surprised. Food can warm and toasty and the food is AMAZING! Will definitely come back in person to try more options. This is the best Dim Sum thus far and will be my newest pregnancy craving moving forward. The dumplings are SO GOOD! Presentation, Quality, flavor etc. with soy sauce and chili oil - Chefs kiss 💋 I would have provided a picture for my review but I inhaled it before I could start this review 😅“

“They have unique drinks that all look delicious and taste equally good. We had a pound cake that was a tad bit dry but had very nice flavor. The bacon jalapeño sandwich was bomb. The sweet and savory toast was good but wish the sweet option was toasted as well. We sat out side on a perfect day and the patio was nice but the benches were uncomfortable. Overall an awesome spot. Will definitely come back to keep trying their creative menu.“

“This place serves joy by the cup and happiness by the bite. The coffee? Bold enough to turn any morning around. The tea? A perfect hug in a mug, no matter the weather. And the pastries? Golden, flaky bites of pure magic that might just ruin other desserts for you. The vibe is cozy, the staff is friendly, and my taste buds are still doing a happy dance. 10/10, would abandon my kitchen for this place again.“

“Nice beer choices even though our selection, things we hadn't tried before, didn't wow us for hazy IPA's. The venue however is awesome and difficult to rate.

There's the very nice beer garden, a variety of food venues, eclectic beer selection and other drinks such as the slushee and rose...

Service quality varied depending on the stand, but was friendly at the brewery. We liked the eclectic ambiance of the place, very fun.

The place is hopping so parking can be tough despite street and dirt lots around.“

“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!“

“Faction Brewing is a wonderful, local brewery! On a perfect day, enjoy a beer or cider on their patio overlooking the San Francisco Bay and city skyline. Catch it on a gloomier day and you can still enjoy a crafted beverage in their large indoor spaces. We host our annual donation drive here in the spring and the staff is always so fantastic. Highly recommend Faction Brewing!“

“Great location and selection of food and the selection is expanding from what I hear! Kid friendly and a great place to have birthday parties, happy hours, or for any reason. Indoor and outdoor seating options (dog friendly outdoors). They also have lots of TVs for MMA, European, Cricket, and all sports fanatics, inclusive of Baseball, Basketball, and Football! VJ’s also has a FULL COCKTAIL BAR! Great beer selection as well! The owner and his staff are all great. Come by and check out VJ’s! It’s next to the UPS Store at Marina Village.“

“I can not express how impressed and blown away I was visiting Neptune’s today “on accident”. I was driving past neptunes today and we ran into car trouble right in front. We got out and pushed the car into the nearest parking lot which happened to be neptunes. We had just bought a used car in the neighborhood and was trying to make it home and the battery just died. We spent some time pulling out the battery and ran next door to the auto parts store to buy a new one. Out of the blue an employee walked us out some water and said “I saw you out here and it’s hot. Wanted to give you some water and ask if you needed help. “ blown away by his kindness I thanked him but we had it covered. Once we got the battery replaced I decided to get breakfast from Neptune’s to show my thanks for their hospitality. Wow was I blown away. The breakfast was amazing , the coffee on point and the hospitality was unmatched. I give 5 stars for all in. My youngest son said. That guy is a good man! And I agree if you’re looking for good service and great food. Stop here! You won’t regret it.“

“My favorite place to visit in Alameda California hands down! Excellent wine 🍷 to choose from and a very nice atmosphere! I did karaoke on Thursday and I had a absolutely wonderful time when they had a live Dj playing Excellent music. It's definitely A MUST VISIT!! THAT CLASSY OLDSKOOL BIRTHDAY PARTY BASH WAS THE BOMB!“

“Great local spot with friendly staff, good beers (I'm an IPA guy and find all of their offerings very solid, but their non IPA beers are also quite good). Not too loud inside and good table space. Can get outside food from a number of locations easily. Generally a great place to unwind and hang out.“

“I decided to check out the Boathouse from a suggestion from a friend. I loved the nautical theme and huge patio, which would be amazing to sit at on a nice day. Janet was bartending when i was there. She is super nice, fast, and great at her job. She had the best music playing too! I will definitely be back.“

“Make Your way to the SWELL some Day“

“Delicious! I recommend to any wine worthy connoisseur!“

“Great view of Coast Guard island !“

“Food is delicious, especially their signature tea leaf salad!“

“I had a blast chatting with the workers here everyone was super friendly and had great vibes, which made the whole experience even better. The food was really good. Turns out they use a special marinated rice for their sushi, and wow, it makes a big difference. The flavors were spot on, and the fish was incredibly fresh like, melt-in-your-mouth fresh. You can tell they care about quality. 10/10 would absolutely come back again.“

“This is a jewel in the neighborhood. Busy in the weekends and the food is amazing. I had the ground meat, egg and rice dish. Yummy! Had an ube latte, super yummy. My daughter had the avocado toast and a tasty matcha with strawberry. Service is friendly and competent. Vibes are mellow. Come here!“

“The garden is the place to be“

“Nice staff too, enjoyed the food and a nice cool Guinness“

“One of our favorite shops here in the East Bay. We love their açai bowls as much as their smoothies. Everything is organic which is how we like to eat. They also sell lots of conventional snacks, seeing that they're located right next to the high school, like salami, cheese and cracker snack packs, prepackaged deli items like potato and pasta salad, basic premade sandwiches like turkey or ham, and cubed fruit.“

“I'm from Italy (have lived in Philadelphia for 20 years), and I was in Alameda in 2015 for a friend's wedding. I happened upon this place, and what a joy! Not only is the owner (who ended up at our table, where we had a lovely conversation) Livornese (I'm from Tirrenia, a province of Pisa), but the food was incredible, AND he knew a number of people that I knew! It's been five years, and I really want to go back some day. BOIA! CHE GIOIA!“

“Came here with my partner; ordered the R&B Bibimbap and the fried wontons. Both were relatively OK! The bibimbap isn't spicy and didn't have a sauce (neither did the wontons), so don't expect that when ordering. The wontons were fresh and crunchy! Food was enough to share between two. It took a bit for us to be served, but the service itself was solid.“

“I love this place, best meatball sandwich I have had in years. Thanks Brian.👍“

“Would love to see this place thrive as it has good vibes. I had a great experience but can't help but feel it could easily be better. Service when I visited was very slow and it was hard to find a spot to sit. Loved the live music, but please turn off the radio so there are not 2 songs playing simultaneously . Some of the dishes could use an extra element to take them to the next level. For example the loco moco is overwhelmingly heavy and could use pickled onions or something to brighten it up. The gravy also tasted odd, maybe using too many burnt bits. The Hawaiian French toast was awesome but a bit dry, and I had to ask for butter and syrup. Would be great with vanilla ice cream or some kind of sauce to tie together the loose buns sitting sparsely on the plate. Maybe I just chose the wrong items? Will be back eventually to try the malasadas.“

“The ube donuts were great but the matcha cocoa bombs were too bitter and the white chocolate bomb was too sweet.“
