Restaurants near Fruitvale Station

Introduced some friends to Alley & Vine last night. I’ve been with my wife several times. Usually, we leave the kids behind but last night we were 4 adults, 3 kids. Most of our food was spectacular. The calamari didn’t do it for me and the oysters were a big miss. My friend found a large piece of plastic in her mashed potatoes. But what really offended me was the prictag for the pasta we ordered for our children. $20 for butter pasta is outrageous. I work in cultural attractions as an executive chef and our prices are HIGH but $20 for pasta is gouging. Please develop a kids menu. Even if only very limited options.

The food and service are always excellent. Parking can be challenging since the city of Alameda messed up Clement Ave, but there is a parking lot if you can get a spot in it.

Lovely lunch! Always the best potato salad. Minestrone soup was good although garbanzo beans were kinda crunchy. The donuts are a hit!

I really like this place. Very efficient waiter and great good. The lunch specials are very good value.

I would like to thank Sergio for his assistance, which made our experience very enjoyable.
