We had a funeral here for a family member. The staff were very professional, sensitive, and accommodating to our needs. Plus, the food was delicious. I had the salmon with mashed potatoes and veggies. Thank you for your service and support.

This is one of my under spots that I may visit when I'm passing through Alameda, it's an OG spot, and sits right of the water, I like to look at the view and enjoy a good cocktail and have some appetizers when I pass by. A classic spot tucked in the cuts.

Came for breakfast on a Sunday. Place was empty which should have been a sign. Ordered a BLT on sourdough but instead it came on super dry white bread. Blackened chicken sandwich was not much better, dry and stringy. Coleslaw was watery. Tea pot leaked. Definitely paying high prices for the view only.

The food was basic but well prepared. Nothing fancy but they know their stuff. The view is beautiful. Staff can be tense and nervous.

This place is our go-to for date night, and it's unbeatable, especially during sunset. The fresh flavors and generous portions always make for a satisfying dining experience. The service is quick, and the staff is not only friendly but also attentive, creating an overall positive vibe. Can't get enough of their Cesar Salad and Roll, and the Calamari is a definite must-try! Always a fantastic time here.

Every time I visit, I always order the fish and chips and clam chowder--both are so good! However, last week, I decided to try something different: their baby back ribs with rice, and it was fantastic! I highly recommend it. The service, especially from Efren, is quick and friendly.

Its been years since I ate here. I was hesitant to see if their quality has changed after new ownership. We came on a Monday night at 6pm and just missed the early dinner menu. Thank Goodness for that as I ordered the Rib Eye medium rare with mashed potatoes and veggies. My wife ordered the salmon with rice pilaf and son ordered the cod fish and chips. The food came out fast, was cooked perfectly and arrived all at the same time. Nothing super crazy over the top but if you are looking for everything to be on target, this is the .Hands down great service from Steve. The atmosphere was chill and the view was great. This place would be perfect if it had a resident piano player. However, again, it was a Monday night. We will be back for sure.
