Despite major ongoing renovations, this trusty local spot delivered. “Best steak I've ever had” sez our teen diner. Food, folks, all great even though bar is temporarily upstairs and dining downstairs. Can't wait to return when all done.

Went here for restaurant week, and the scallops over risotto was wonderful, but not as delicious as the beef wellington. The wine list allowed some perfect pairings, and the staff was great too. Five stars!

This was our third time back to Park Tavern after two mediocre experiences many years ago. Tried this during Alameda restaurant week 2024 and had a $40 & $60 prix fixe specials that included three courses which all four of us ordered. Definitely a great value. Salad, entrees and dessert appeared as normal portion sizes. Food was very good. My salmon was juicy and could use a little salt. But better under salted than too salty like most restaurants. We will come back again and this to our dining rotations. Service was good. Place was surprisingly packed.
We come here frequently because of the exceptional service, delicious menu and cocktails, and family-like/community tavern experience. Give it a try. Note: parking can be a challenge, especially with the city's new road diet/bicycle lane construction on Clement.

the food is good but very overpriced. this place makes me think of restaurants at Fisherman's Warf or on the Santa Cruz Boardwalk. good food where you pay for the location and views.except this place has no special location or views and feels divey. mind you, I *love* divey atmospheres... just not when you're paying $180 for a dinner for 2...

Im not from Okland, but when I'm here, I gotta come to this spot to have a good dinner before going back. It's easily one of the best rack on lambs I ever had , great service, drinks, and food.I recommend this place to everyone ??

I try to eat here at least once every time I'm in Alameda for work. Their Salmon is DELICIOUS (as is everything on their menu).

This place is always a delight to go to. The food is amazing and the staff is the friendliest. Whether it’s a special occasion or just casual dining, Park St Tavern is the place to be!

Unfortunately, the food was really underwhelming. The crab cakes tasted homemade and were nice, but the other dishes we ordered (calamari, salad, gnocchi) left a lot to be desired.

The menu has changed a little. my favorite pork chop no longer comes with polenta but with brussel sprouts and something like Greek potato. Not a good change. It was a quiet night and the service was very good.

The food is excellent. The service is excellent. That should rate five stars, but the atmosphere is so odd that it detracts from the experience. The walls are an ugly dark olive green, the tables are chunky and unattractive, but most egregious are the can lights pointing down at the tables which make everyone look pale, old and scary. A restaurant with food that good could really make a name for itself if they made an effort to make the interior inviting.

The owners and staff are very friendly and accommodating. The food never disappoints, from the appetizers to the steak. The bar area has a very welcoming local crowd that I feel comfortable hanging out at with or without friends or family at my side.

Great dining experience. We had a 5:45 reservation and the place was busy when we arrived (there was a large party in the back room). Ordered the meatballs and a beet salad to start. Entrees took a while but they brought us extra bread. We had the rib eye (perfect medium rare) and pork chop and then the chocolate mousse. Food was delicious! Service was attentive and our waiter Lawrence apologized for the delay on our entrees. We will definitely be back!
Great place ??
