Saltbreaker

3rd time at Saltbreaker and it never disappoints. Everything was delicious, but I highly recommend the steak frites, hamachi crudo, smoked trout dip, beef carpaccio, house made focaccia with garlic butter, and lemon tart! Menu changes a bit but updated regularly on the website The space is modern, clean, and cozy with beautiful decor. It's great for a date night or a nice dinner with friends and family!

The food was delish but the service was inconsistent. We were served by multiple ppl but were told Emily would be our services throughout the night we have saw her twice. The food was very well done. We got the burrata, the Caesar, the special anchovy toast, the cast iron chicken, branzino, and the fresh pasta carbonara with the shoe string potatoes and the Brussels sprouts. For dessert, we got the chocolate bar. All in all a great meal for a fair price. Would be back if in the area as it’s one of the nicer restaurants in Alameda

4 stars for the food, 3 stars for service. They acknowledged it was a birthday dinner on arrival. Food was really good, however they brought one wrong dish. Unclear who's fault it was as the waitress just took it away without explanation and brought the correct one (salmon - was bland). The wait staff were standing around and even passing through our room, but it was impossible to get their attention. We had to get up numerous times to find someone to ask for more water and utensils. Dessert finally came but again with no forks or plates, and not even a birthday candle. We waited for about 10 mins before getting up to ask for help again. Thankfully the food made up for it, but not sure if I'll be back anytime soon.

“The food was really delicious, the drinks were amazing, and the dessert was okay. I really enjoyed the vibe, and the staff were nice. The only issue I had was that, even though we had a reservation, after about an hour we were asked to leave to make room for more guests. I didn’t appreciate that, as it felt a bit rude. Overall, I liked the experience, but that part was disappointing.

Prompt and friendly service, nice cozy atmosphere, thoughtful tight menu, and good drinks. All dishes were plated beautifully, cooked well using fresh ingredients, but unfortunately the flavor just wasn’t there. Steak was under-seasoned, pastry of the Wellington undercooked, all sauces not bright or bold, multiple components in a dish not cohesive or complimenting the main protein, etc. Modern creative takes on comfort classics seemed to justify the higher-end prices conceptually, but fell short in actual taste.
