Saltbreaker

The ambiance? Perfect. The food? Unreal. The drinks? Strong enough to make me question my life choices (in the best way). Hands down, one of the best smash burgers I've ever had--like, I might start a fan club. The dessert was chef's kiss, the salad was farmers market fresh, and the fries? Crispy, golden, and straight-up addictive.Honestly, I'm already plotting my return this week. If loving this place is wrong, I don't want to be right.

Went here with a friend recently, and the food was great! We walked in without a reservation shortly before 6PM, and luckily we were able to get a table. The hostess recommended that in the future after 6PM, to get make reservations since they do fill up quickly. My friend and I both ordered the steak with fries, and the broccolini. The service was great, and our waiter was able to explain the items on the menu and helped us select our choices. I forgot what drink I ordered, but it was refreshing and tasty as well. The ambiance was also very cozy, clean, and cute. I would definitely recommend to have date nights here! I would definitely come back here next time, but would make reservations in advance.

Came to Saltbreaker tonight on the recommendation of my son. Wow! First, super friendly people and great site. Easy parking. We came a bit early and glad we did (we had reservations) because the place was really popping. Seated in the side room which filled up fast but noise wise, it was fine.First, they have a fantastic NA drink menu as well as the hard stuff. We all opted for a NA cocktail and they were delicious. Check out the Sinners Salvation - so good! Next, hubby and I started with the focaccia bread which was delicious! Served with roasted garlic (still licking my fingers!). Our friends split a salad that was big enough to share between all 4 of us. Main: 3 of us had the Steak Frites - perfection! Exactly medium rare and the frites were very nice. Came with a tasty aioli too. Hubby had the chicken thighs were were thick, moist and delicious. No dessert as we were quite full. Service was excellent - thank you Emily for doing such a great job! We don't get over to Alameda very often, but this place will give us a reason to come. We will be back!

A nice dinner spot with great service and a friendly staff. The highlights were definitely the focaccia and the smash burger.Here's what we ordered:* Focaccia ($10): Served with butter and roasted garlic* Fresh Made Pasta ($25): Tossed in nduja tomato sauce* Smash Burger ($26)* Pork Belly Sando ($24)* Oranges and Cream Boozy ($15)* Cheesecake ($13)

Swung by for their $12 cocktail deal that's happening 02/1-02/2! Had a great time as usual. The highlight was the service. I got an espresso martini that was too strong for my liking so the server happily switched it out for me. I really appreciated her service and kindness! Downside is kitchen closes at 9PM on a Saturday so that was a bummer as I was hoping to get some food. Just an FYI!

The front of the restaurant was hard to find. It's tucked in between the warehouses next to Humble Sea but is separate from it. The interior was light-filled and modern. It's a nicer restaurant than the surrounding breweries for celebrations and date nights. They have a private backroom you can rent as well. The drinks were delicious - I particularly liked the Peanut Butter Old Fashioned (Four Roses, Vanilla, Cacao Angostura Bitters). Someone else ordered a Freezer Martini which was basically a really cold martini. The food was upscale bar food. We ordered the smoked trout rillette and burrata with olive tapenade.Service was great even though we were in the backroom. They made sure to check in on us and was able to get us in and out in 45 minutes in time for another event. Definitely make reservations in advance!

Stopped by for lunch on Saturday. They have happy hr from 3:30- 5ish. The fancy fries were good, the smash burger was a little on the greasy side, but it was good. For cocktails I had an expresso martini & lychee martini they were ok. Server was super sweet , it was pretty chill when we arrived so that was awesome because it can get a little crowded. It's a cute space Overall, it was a good experience.

Service - 4Food - 4.5Ambiance - 5- What a hidden gem. It's intimate with limited seating so reservations are recommended. There's bar seating and booth seating, but they seem to accommodate approx. 45 people. Love this concept so that it's not super crowded. They play great music and the staff is great, friendly and welcoming. - Overall the food is tasty, fresh, and comes in sizable portions. You won't be disappointed. Highlights:- The deviled eggs are something special. The bacon jam, fried onions and flaked sea salt.... Just wow. - The SB burger... wow! The patty itself was flavorful, Smokey and overall seasoned very well. There was pickled fennel that gave some acidity, the white cheddar and dijonaise provided a smooth creamy finish. The brioche bun was soft and held the burger together nicely. IMO- best burger I've had in the bay, hands down.- Drinks are all great!

Came here on a Wednesday evening with friends and made a reservation ahead of time just in case. Staff and Service:- I'm glad we made the reservation. When we arrived at 6pm for the reservation, the restaurant wasn't crowded, but it did fill up soon after- Our waitress, Cecilia, was fantastic. She was knowledgeable with her recommendations, brought really good energy to the restaurant and our table, was pleasant to talk to, and was quick to help us when we asked for refills / more sauce Food and drinks:- Hatch grilled chicken: grilled chicken sandwich with hatch chiles - this dish was tasty. The chipotle aioli was different than your standard chipotle aioli, but it was still good. You can choose salad or fries as your side.- Steak and frites: comes with tarragon aioli and is a good portion for one personMiscellaneous:- Parking is available via a parking lot outside of the restaurant - There is a cute bar inside as well with good aesthetics - Good for large groups (saw a group of ~14 when we were there) and smaller groups

Appetizers to die for and amazing entrees! Im always impressed by the rotating menu and dum cocktails.
