点评:We travel to Alameda to visit family, and it seems every trip includes a dinner here. And we are so glad to dine here! Sunday, 8/20, we had a reservation. Seated immediately, instant water service, followed by attentive Nikko. We'd eaten very well this weekend, and Sunday was a travel day, so no appetizers. Entrees ordered; a lovely bottle of wine was ordered and opened to accompany the diverse entrees. 1 Gluten free pasta with ragu (apparently the hosts "go-to dish") ; 2 orders ravioli with butternut squash and sage butter - the "go-to" for my vegetarian; and I had a truly fabulous brodetto - an octopus and tomato flavored broth with LOTS of delicious, perfectly cooked seafood. When queried, Nikko had said this dish had more seafood than the spaghetti with seafood, and I'm delighted I followed his suggestion.
Chef and owner was present (as it seems he always is) and made rounds thru the dining room and bar.
I'm not a fan of sitting outside in the tent enclosure, but for food this good - I almost
would sit anywhere. This restaurant has always excelled, and never disappointed.
翻译:我们前往阿拉米达探亲,似乎每次旅行都包括在这里吃晚餐。我们很高兴在这里用餐! 8 月 20 日星期日,我们有预约。立即就座,即时供水服务,其次是细心的 Nikko。这个周末我们吃得很好,周日是旅行日,所以没有开胃菜。点了主菜;订购并打开了一瓶可爱的葡萄酒以搭配各种主菜。 1 份无麸质意大利面配 ragu(显然是主人的“首选菜”); 2 份馄饨配胡桃南瓜和鼠尾草黄油——我的素食主义者的“首选”;我有一个真正美妙的 brodetto - 一种章鱼和番茄风味的肉汤,里面有很多美味的,煮熟的海鲜。当被询问时,Nikko 说这道菜的海鲜比海鲜意大利面多,我很高兴我听从了他的建议。
厨师和老板在场(他似乎总是在场)并在餐厅和酒吧里巡视。
我不喜欢坐在外面的帐篷围栏里,但对于这么好的食物——我几乎
会坐在任何地方。这家餐厅一直很出色,从来没有让人失望过。
