"Terrible waiter, OKish food and bad dessert. The house interior looks good but from the outside it looks like a hunted house. Dark, there was a motion activated LED outside that bugged me the entire time we were eating. The waiter was the worst though. he had attitude and basically treated everyone as if we owe him something. Rushed every order as if he wanted us out asap. Would not recommend."

"Charming, intimate venue. Housed in the lower level of a lovely Victorian near Bart & city hall in Hayward. Reasonable prices, but service is on the slow side & other than the prosciutto wrapped shrimp starter and the rib eye steak, & scallop entrees, was not impressed with any of the other starters or entrees my party of 4 selected. My trout was over cooked & quite dry & peppered and covered with raw shavings of cauliflower. They also have a lovely outdoor patio. So 5 for ambience, 4 for service, 3 or 4 depending on your choices."

"I brought my French Father in-law here as he wanted a good steak and this was nearby. He was very satisfied with everything and was even impressed by their wine list and I couldn’t agree more. Delicious food in a very calming atmosphere. They even accommodated my wife who’s vegan and was nervous about asking for that special request. The waiter encouraged her to speak up when she wants something and I fully supported his encouragement. Great experience overall, will take my mother there in the near future"

"Nice fine dining experience in an unexpected spot near BART. There is a private parking lot in the back and street parking. The restaurant looks like a converted Victorian home, and the inside is nice and calm, not pretentious or loud like some fine dining spots. One man served as host, waiter, and bussing person. The service was attentive and friendly. He gave great wine pairing recommendations. The food was delicious. Our favorites were the steamed clams and rack of lamb. The sauce that the clams came in was scrumptious, and we requested more bread to soak up all that tasty sauce. The rack of lamb was tender and well seasoned, not gamy at all. The prices are very reasonable, and the portions are good. Neumanali is now on our list of places to go to when celebrating a special occasion."

"Went here for my husband's birthday and had a delicious meal, romantic ambience and excellent service. Highly recommend."
