This venue has changed owners the last year. It is now a Vietnamese restaurant with a picture menu offering no less than #78 different dishes. The service is terrible. The indoor seating upstairs is cold and lacks ambiance. The food tasted surprisingly good, our party had a variety of dishes and we only DON'T recommend is the hamburger. Expect to get full and then leave!

Our first time since re opening and definitely going back. Food was great and loved the view. The fried whole fish was so good. Fish Stew, steak.... we liked it all.

Food and service were fine. Win, not so much. Friday lunch. Ordered house Chardonnay, it was old and without question they replaced with a different Chardonnay. Same issue. They took it off the bill. Apparently they don't serve much white wine during the week.

Was there this past Thursday. Haven’t been there since the changes and from what i saw, ate, and experienced it was great. The bartender (forgot her name) was attentive, nice and really friendly…..she even changed outfits while we were there! She made sure everyone was taken care of, orders were correct and on time. Was there for happy hour, prices and quality of food we got was great and portions were generous.

I really really want to like this place. When I read that it was under me management, I jumped at the chance to give it another try. I was very disappointed.
1. When we went upstairs, no one was there to greet us or seat us. We finally seated ourselves.
2. It took the waiter a very long time to bring the menu and water.
3. What is advertised on the menu is not what you send up getting when the food arrives. For example, they say the rice plate comes with broken rice, but it came with regular rice. The garlic noodles with tofu are just vegetables chow mein. There is no garlic taste in the dish. The popcorn shrimp mostly contains squid and not shrimp.
4. We were basically ignored after the food came out. My kids accidentally asked a customer for a water refill.
5. When asked if there was an extra charge for a credit card, he said no, but when the printout came, there was a surcharge for credit cards. We only had 4 people in our group, and they added 18% mandatory tips to the bill. There's nothing written anywhere in the menu or in the restaurant regarding this policy.
If you want authentic Vietnamese food, go somewhere else.
Only street parking.

The service is wonderful and a great view of you eat outside. Kind of warm inside of you're a hot body. I recommend for sure. Sketch area of you're walking from your hotel but the waiter who is also a bar tender was phenomenal.

Not the same Qwin's anymore :( Mediocre Vietnamese food. No peanuts on the floor. Same decorations and great view. Not kid friendly.
Very quaint, atmosphere is family friendly food good, drinks were great. Visited from Ohio, son took us there. Great choice

Really nice place with a nice view of the docks. Indoor and outdoor seating with 2 floors. First time here everything was great except it was not that busy when we went, there were two other folks and the waiter didnt come often as one would expect. They also forgot one of the appetizers and had already brought out everything else but was worth the wait because after I reminded them, it was delicious. Will defintely go again because the vibe wad awesome

BEWARE new ownership!! This place was my go to for years. I wasthere recently and pretty much everything has changed. Food was sub par at best and the service was worse than that. Do yourself a favor and find a good restaurant in Alameda this one has jumped the shark

Tbh I went to Quinn’s last year and I didn’t really care for it. The menu was pretty mid in my opinion. Then I heard they closed down but was pleasantly surprised with their reopening with a Vietnamese inspired menu. The happy hour is EVERYDAY from 3-6pm with fantastic food and drinks at super affordable prices. I love the wings, Vietnamese crepe tacos, and calamari. Off the happy hour menu I love the steak carpaccio and banh mi. Btw, Dat is a great bartender!!
New owners, not at all as advertised.
