Another PHENOMENAL experience! It's Alameda Restaurant week so busier than usual but we got in at 6:30 Sat and were out by 7:10. Ordered the burger and chick sando- both have been on our minds for a while but we always get Trips Triple and it felt like we were cheating but man was it worth it! DELICIOUS! Kind of wish we got the Crab Stew/Cioppino because it's looked amazing but we have no regrets with our sandwiches and the awesome Brussels sprouts.

We had a very nice meal at Spinning Bones. Our party of four ordered their pate, corn fritters, and chips with dip for appetizers. We also ordered a beet salad, fried chicken sando, and their beef with chimichurri as our mains to share. Unfortunately, the chicken sando was sold out, but everything else was tasty. The beef was a little too well done for my liking, but the chimichurri sauce was delicious so it more than made up for the wellness of the steak.Our waiter, Patrick, was very kind and service was on point.Overall, Spinning Bones did not disappoint. The Bib Gourmand designation is well deserved.

This is the best Prime Rib in the area! Sides are always creative and yummy! Prime Rib every Sunday! Lots of other selections as well! The service is always over the top! A truly upbeat place for lunch or dinner!

Oh let me count the ways we love Spinning Bones and the crew there! Welcoming friendly environment. Always willing to chat and dig deeper into their specials. Specials - You always need to ask about the specials!! Last night we had two + Sticky Rice ... so so good. Nice level of heat and so so tasty. Then Surf N Turf Skewers - Shrimp cooked perfectly and has the steak. We also ordered Ribs off the regular menu .. their specials are so good we do not often get back to the day in and out items, but we did last night. So tender and flavorful. Then we had special chocolates and cookies ---- perfect ending to the meal. Thank you Mike, Lauren, Patrick and crew. You always make our time their special!

The food and service was exceptional. The special Valentines menu had great choices normally not available on weekdays, such as crab noodles, shrimp & beef skewers, and prime rib. Hard to believe that such a great restaurant is in our small town of Alameda.

The koji chicken was out of this world! The staff was insanely friendly! One of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area!

Great food, service, and value! The menu is eclectic in addition to offering specials so there is something to choose for all different tastes, including non meat eaters. Two bonuses as well-the house wine was very good and really reasonably priced. And, the Choco PB torte was excellent.

Had no idea what to expect. We were the first table at 11:45. Two others filled shortly after and I could see it getting noisy when full. Food was AMAZING!!! We tried several dishes and enjoyed them all. Stand outs were the chicken fat noodles, the chicken cabbage salad (so fresh), the smashed potatoes and the chicken lickin. Super reasonably priced. Very fresh. Hot. Delicious. Can't wait to go back! Looking for excuses to hit Alameda.

Always a great experience and fun trying different items on the menu. Home made potato chips are always a fav with any new item! The menu and ingredients are so creative! As always food and service is over the top!

AMAZING! We came here because of the amazing review we read on YELP. The food was so delicious! The staff was mellow and kind. The atmosphere was quiet, toasty warm, and comfy. We will for sure be going back!
I came here on a Thursday night around 6:30 with a friend for the first time. The service was very attentive and kind. We split the chicken lickin, chicken fat noodles, and three little pigs. All were such delicious choices! I absolutely loved the noodles and really enjoyed the green sauce that accompanied the pork - very flavorful. I also got a Mi-Lo drink that was tropical, tasty, and gorgeous presentation! I would absolutely come back the next time I'm in Alameda.

Chickensandwich is pretty good but they do a damn good burger. Fries are great but extra.

We dined in their parklet as we brought our little puppy (well 10 year old puppy) with us. We started with Corn Fritters and Shishito peppers - so tasty and warm! Then the three of us shared 2 prime rib dinners. came with creamed spinnich very good too. The prime rib cooked to perfection. Great service - great food - great people!

Recently saw that Spinning Bones was awarded a Michelin bib gourmand so was excited to check this place out. We came on a Wednesday evening and the place was packed so would definitely recommend making a reservation on open table ahead of time. The service wasn't great. The server could not recall what the specials were and left to find out and then took a long time to return. He also did not check up on us once after the food was served and we kept on having to flag him down for things we needed. For two, we ordered the beet salad, smashed potatoes, and the 3 little pigs. The beet salad was good but I thought the potatoes and meats lacked flavor and the pork shoulder seemed overcooked and chewy.
It was our first time here and everything was absolutely delightful! The food was incredibly delicious! The staff was wonderful! They made a special evening even more special. I can't wait to return! 10 out of 5 stars!
