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.“

“The best place ever. Love them ❤️ 💕“

“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!“

“Great view of Coast Guard island !“

“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“

“I was invited by my friends for a get together for Christmas. We decided to come to Asena. It was my first time. I love the ambiance, the service. You will see the owner mingling with diners. I even had a picture with him. So love this place. Come and checktl this place out.“

“Every roll was fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. The staff were welcoming and attentive.
In the end they offered me plum wine but I asked for ice cream and they accommodated.
I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Great place & cakes!“

“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.“

“Excellent unique bbq meant for take out. Pricey but so worth it. Hit the line when it opens to assure food availability. I suggest older folks bring a stool. They sell until tgey run.out of food, but they do warn the line when it gets close. You might be able to eat next door with outside tables and get yourself a beer. The dino ribs are amazing, and massive. Sides are quite tasty.“

“Great family run sandwich shop with friendly service. I love the Alameda sandwich and homemade mac salad. I ordered ahead some sandwiches for and event and everything was nicely packed and ready for pickup at the requested time. My guests really loved the sandwiches, too.“

“Love this place! I don't go to bars often, but I would go there everyday if I could. The owners & staff and all really friendly. It's a nice chill atmosphere. You can play pool, sit outside in the fresh air, or relax at the bar and watch 3 different sporting events on TV. But my favorite is the food there. Absolutely delicious!!! Love it!“

“The cook came out to chat with us! Yummy food!“

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

“Different name same/similar menu to previous restaurant. Something is lacking but not sure what entirely. Food options didn't wow me. Had the sweet and savory toast. They were just alright. Seems like a great spot for folks who want to work and have a coffee. Probably not somewhere I'd return.“

“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 beers across the board. 3 food options between in house pizza and 2 food trucks. Chose Scolari's food truck and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich was outstanding. Huge indoor and outdoor space with big screen TV's to watch the games. Friendly staff and definitely pet friendly and kid friendly place.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Outdoor dining in heart of Alameda“

“Don’t get to Alameda very often, but was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled across Alameda Brewing. Nice, spacious indoor seating area. The brewery stresses community and employs a nautical theme throughout the brewery. Restrooms were clean and the staff helpful.“

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

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

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

“Lovely and cozy coffee shop with a bright, modern vibe! Lazybird Coffee is a perfect spot to relax or get some work done. The coffee is rich and smooth, and the food is fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I especially enjoyed the brunch dishes and specialty drinks.

The staff are friendly, welcoming, and quick with service. The space is clean, stylish, and very comfortable. Prices are reasonable for the quality. Highly recommended if you’re in Alameda — I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“my favorite Mexican restaurant. great food, super friendly and consistent. been going here for almost 15 years.“

“Tahina is an abslute delight for anyone who loves fresh, flavorful Mediterranean cuisine! Every dish is packed with vibrant ingredients and perfectly balanced flavors that leave a lasting impression.

The falafel is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, while the hummus is incredibly smooth and rich—some of the best you’ll ever have. Everything tastes fresh, healthy, and made with care.

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff are warm and welcoming, making the experience even better. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite or a relaxed meal, Tahina is a place you’ll want to return to again and again. Highly recommended!“

“Great burger and truffle fries. Its a great spot on fridays for karaoke.“

“Delicious food!! The atmosphere here is great and all the staff is super friendly! Would recommend one of the top places in alameda for tacos and burritos!! 🌯 10/10“

“The garden is the place to be“

“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!“

“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!“

“I came here today at lunch,

Asked the lady working there named JENIFER to help me to choose my food because I didn't eat beef.

She recommended chicken grill sandwich and made in separate grill.
Good was so good.

Definitely come back“

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

“Im not a salad guy, but my wife loves salad.

Picked up a salad today from Green and Grains and boy was I surprised at the portion! 1 salad was enough for my wife and myself; with leftovers for later!

Got to speak to Ian for a little bit and was surprised that all the ingredient are organic and locally sourced. Including the pickled onions being made in house!

For a guy who doesn’t eat salads, I would say the Asian chicken was the best salad I’ve ever had!

Going to try their sandwiches on the next visit!

10/10“

“Ever since the Marugame Alameda location opened, it’s been a main staple for my routine! The staff are kind and attentive, and the food is delicious. Compared to other locations, I’d say the Alameda location is among the better ones I have visited over the years. Even though the location is fairly new, opening this past year, it’s helped heightened my expectations of Marugame locations. I highly recommend coming here and ordering the Gyudon!“

“Loved this place and the food was so good!! I'm lucky it's located in Alameda, not too far away. Spam musubies were on point, as well as that ube waffle and pog mimosa! I will definitely be trying everything on the menu. Atmosphere was great and warped me back to my time in the islands.“

“Just a hot chocolate drinker here, who found this place charming and peaceful. We pay before leaving and a lot of people come in couples, that say a lot. It's actually busier than we think. This review was written under st Martin's eyes, so you can count on my honesty.“

“Make Your way to the SWELL some Day“

“I remember going to another branch and having a really delicious meal.Came here and found it!!!I was happy to go in and have lunch.I feel like this place tastes even better!!!Please come here two or three times♡Healing time after a long time?“

“best egg rolls and gyoza! I wish we could find teriyaki this good in WA“
