Patricia L. "Generous portions and good food. Came here for a weekend takeout lunch and ordered the chicken shawarma wrap, lamb kofta wrap and a side of garlic fries. The menu may seem on the pricier side but when we got the food we understood why, the wraps were huge and fries were overflowing from the box. If you're not a big eater I think you could actually share a wrap with a side between two people.Food came out promptly and ingredients tasted like they were high quality. Each wrap came with a side of toom and hot sauce. My chicken shawarma wrap was different than I was expecting in that the chicken was covered in sauce. Might not be everyone's preference for those that prefer the taste of grilled meat but I enjoyed it. Fries were well seasoned and very crispy. Would come back again."

In addition, It has a lot of seating so it's a great place for big parties.Service: this restaurant has an ordering desk where you put in an order and wait for your food. The service was quick and friendlyFood: we got the honey mustard chicken sandwich and the Asian citrus salad. The chicken sandwich was very good with a well breaded and crispy piece of chicken. The bread was nice and fluffy and the simple toppings complimented the chicken nicely. I did not think the cheese they used would pair well with this sandwich but it fit perfectly. The Asian citrus salad was light and had textures and flavors that complimented each other perfectly. I loved that they put the salad dressing on the side so you can control flavor of the salad on your own."

T S. "The most authentic Indian curry topping pizza. Plenty of vegetarian choices, and custom orders available. Family owned business. Hosts/owners are caring and thoughtful people. Tandoori Potato, Paneer Tikka, Pav Bhaji, Aaloo Gobi have generous amount of toppings unlike other pizza places where they throw a few on top to check the box. Think crust makes it more like sabzi on chapati, which is light and delicious."

The dining area is full of character, though I think it can benefit from playing a bit of Moroccan music at a reasonable volume. The location is great and the view is fantastic. Go for a walk along the bay after your meal. The chicken isabella (sandwich) was absolutely incredible. The flavor is unique and delicious. Skip the pita bread. I will go back to try more menu items!"

It came out perfect! It was quite tasty with just a slight kick to it. Everyone at our table seemed to like what they ordered. Even tasted the pear salad and two desserts - tiramisu and an apple bread pudding served with a scoop of ice cream. All were very good as well. Service was excellent. As we left, it was pretty much a full house. Would definitely recommend this restaurant."

They also sell their branded t-shirts. There are a couple of tables inside and outside to sit and enjoy your bagel and coffee/drink. The service was friendly and welcoming from all of the workers.Vietnamese coffee (3/5) - the cup size was a bit small for the price. Otherwise, the drink was standard, enough condensed milk to cut the bitterness from the coffee. A decent drink.#23 Cream Cheese & Lox: Cream Cheese & Sliced Nova Lox (4/5). I went with the combo bagel. Crunchy outside yet soft chewy inside. Flavorful from all the toppings. The cream cheese was nice and creamy, and the Lox was silky smooth."

I'm really writing this review and giving 5stars because the customer service was exceptional for a fast food chain. The young man behind the counter was courteous and brought our plates to the table for us. He noticed we were done eating and grabbed our empty plates and threw our garbage away for us as well. Good attentive customer service is rare these days so we appreciate the young man behind the counter. I wish I had gotten his name. 5:30pm worked the register today 2/18 if management can see this."

Koko M. "I've ordered from this restaurant a few times now, never disappointing and always filling. Usually get 2 + meals out of an order when ordering for myself.My favorite would be the ginger lemonade, tastes made from scratch or at least there seems to be a lot of fresh ginger soaked into it without a bunch of ginger tidbits floating around and getting in the way.Veggie broth has a good flavor and love getting a batch too good for my own noodles at home, so maybe I get 3 meals out of an order! Veggie egg rolls are good as well and come packed with lots of additional veggie sides, fantastic snack. Steamed broccoli and bok choy are great solo out added to a soup. The garlic noodles were probably my least favorite. There was a lot of added stuff to it which made it more like a garlic chow mein than a straight up garlic noodles to my taste buds. Wouldn't order that one again without changes.All in all there is something for everyone on the menu and you can get creative if you think ahead for a few meals as well or combine things in from your pantry!"

Mortiche W. "This place is a sleeper. Surprisingly good fresh and sustainable seafood fare located at a picturesque location. My kid introduced me to Seabreeze on the Dock, not the other way around! They have a terrific palate and told me the tuna steak sandwich was really good. I wasn't sure whether to believe the judgement of a person who hasn't been to many dining establishments in their less than 21 years on this earth, but I always give my kid AND a business the benefit of the doubt, and go in with an open mind. I was glad I trusted them. Their sandwich was terrific, cooked to order, accurately too. Succulent moist tuna, nicely seared on the surface, still pink in the middle. No fishy odor (all three times they've ordered it), I was definitely pleasantly surprised. I ordered the Hawaiian style shrimp bowl, which was a nice change from the bready/fried options. with plenty of plump shrimp. Though the sauce overwhelmed the dish (really salty, and way too much of if it), it was a nice mix of savory, sweet, and pungent, and I will get sauce on the side next time I order it. The only thing I wish they had was a side of veggies (steamed or stir fried) as a big bowl of saucy seafood and steamed rice begs for something fresh to accompany it- at least for me! The third visit, I ordered the oyster po'boy, and it's another solid meal. I got it with a side of sweet potato fries (my kid got the regular fries) and all the fried items were cooked in fresh, clean oil. No black motor oil that tastes stale or like it's been around for 2+months, and the oysters were cooked perfectly - not dried out little nuggets of sadness. Briny, rich, crisp edged with creamy interiors, I haven't had fried oysters in years (partners and kid weren't fond of them) and was super happy to finally enjoy this long-verboten dish. Seabreeze On The Dock, I'm worried you're gonna be my newest guilty/healthy pleasure!"

I don't know what Amber D's deal is; if the food was as bad as you say it was, where's the photo for proof? I have a hard time believing the greens were brown or that the burger made you sick. I've been coming here since the place opened several years ago and can confidently say I've never had an issue here, nor do I hesitate to dine here time and again. They have a fantastic selection of burger combinations, all ingredients are sourced locally, and the beer on tap is always on point, too."

Prices seemed fair for having dined in the Beverly Hills of San Jose.FoodI ordered the Tierra y Mar (steak and shrimp fajitas). I never had or even heard of soggy/soupy fajitas before. I ate most of my food because I was hungry but this was not was I was expecting. I will probably never order this here again. 2 out of 5 stars. I know everyone makes fajitas their own way but this didn't even look appetizing. Most of the other dinners looked good though that I saw throughout the dining area."

Terry T. "The first few times I had pizza from Marley G's it was at a party at a park. I enjoyed the pizza. We had several different pies. The eggplant pizza was a big hit with the group. I preferred the pepperoni pizza. I did not review the pizza after these two parties. A review of a lunch that had traveled across town and sat on the table might not be an honest review of the pizza.Marley G's is across the street from the parklet where I meet friends in Alameda monthly for lunch and conversation. I zipped across the street to try a slice for my lunch. I wanted to try a fresh-out-of-the-oven slice. I ordered the pepperoni. The thin crust had a lot of pepperoni and cheese. Often I don't eat pizza crust, but I ate this one. I would not be hesitant to order pizza to go. The slices in the park were as good as the one I had for lunch."

These were the best sandwiches I've had in quite some time. The hot pastrami special with the peppercinis is one of the best I've ever had, only really beatable by Katz in NY and I could even make that argument. I'm not exaggerating.The French Dip was fire too but if I'm going back I'm getting two hot pastramis instead. I think of it often but I don't work in the area, which is the only negative.

I absolutely love it here and wonder what this location was potentially before? For our honeymoon we traveled to Chiang Mai in Thailand and Tanzie's is inspired by cuisine from this region ~ to say this place was one of the most special locations we've ever been in our life is an understatement, so I was happy with the opportunity to brunch here. Our server was so sweet and helped guide us through the menu ~ we ordered the most delicious iced mango matcha and iced strawberry makrut matcha (also available in an orange, so yummy). They were beautiful and gone too fast! Next were the Khanom Krok (coconut cakes) that resemble a sliced egg with toppings including sweet corn, green onion, and yam. The perfect hybrid of sweet and savory. For the mains I tried the Sai Oua ~ pork or chicken Chiang Mai style sausage with lava eggs over choice of brown/white rice and what I believed to be a chili paste. Honestly..heavenly. The eggs were soft scrambled and resembled a rose bud. Glorious all around!Looks like Tanzie's may be closed on specific days, while offering brunch and now dinner on specific days as well, so def check the hours. Excited to come back and try the dinner menu, intrigued on what items are offered. Already can't wait to come back for brunch, I don't mind the metered Berk parking or spending a bit more before noon on something so worthy of delicately devouring :)Khàawp khun khâ"
