Alameda Cinema Grill 2301 Central Avenue, Alameda, CA 94501

"The pros: - There was a talented band playing. - My partner's Chicken Buddha Bowl was great. The not-so-good: - Service was SLOW all around. There must have been a staffing issue, as there were tons of empty tables, but it took 15 minutes to get seated even though no one else was waiting. It took a crazy long time to order and receive food. - No one checked on us after our food was delivered, and we couldn't seem to get anyone's attention to order drinks or get water refills. - When ordering, I asked if the steak salad had onions. Our server said "if it's not listed on the description, no." Well, onions were not listed as an ingredient on the menu description, but the salad arrived with tons of diced red onions. The steak was cold and overcooked. Worst of all, the whole dish had an odd fish flavor to it that was extremely off-putting. Overall, a disappointing experience."

"I’ve been here a few times but I went for brunch this time. I had the Nutella French toast, it was sweet but really good."

"I went to see Larry Noble and his band play. While there I had a cheeseburger and a beer. Music was great and the food very good."

"Christine was our server and a few other servers helped out. The service was great, welcoming environment and nice food selections. No live music Father's Day but overall a great place to dine in Alameda. Patio seating and indoor available. PHOTOS: Steak and Eggs & Breakfast Sandwich."

"Great breakfast menu. Simple but delicious. Great service, clean tables, friendly staff. Welcoming and overall great experience. Looking forward to next visit."
