The Park Street Tavern

Visiting from out of town and staying close to the neighborhood- The Park Street Tavern was an amazing find! We called ahead to see if reservations were needed and the person on the phone was kind, friendly, and gave us a table for two within the hour. When we arrived we knew we had found a gem, the bar area was filled with smiling and laughing patrons, cheering with full cocktails and raving about the food they had just had. We were met with a smiling face at the door and taken to our table immediately. The ambiance is wonderful- definitely an old school vibe, with eclectic art/decor on the walls that made it feel like a cozy spot I'd been to times before. Our server arrived to the table and all I have to say is WOW ANTONIO! He was WONDERFUL. Smiling, chatting, menu recommendations, drink recommendations, he was exactly the face we wanted to see at our table. We started with the beet salad and the wedge- both absolutely delicious, tried and true starters full of flavor and just enough difference to make it their own. Our entrees were the salmon w/risotto and the chicken piccata. Again, menu staples but cooked well, full of flavor, and absolutely satisfying. We finished off dinner with the lemon torte. This was spectacular! Not too sweet, not too sour- the perfect blend of citrus, almond, and berry. When it came to the drinks- they were above and beyond! The Sazerac was exceptional, definitely warned you up on the cold evening, and the non-alcoholic Cherry Lime Royale hit all the notes of a well made cocktail- sweet, tart, refreshing, and the rosemary added an extra I was not expecting- but delightfully delicious. I highly recommend this establishment, and if you can request to sit in Antonios section! You won't be disappointed!

Came here on a weekend to celebrate a birthday and the servers were attentive and the food was served promptly. My partner ordered the gnocchi with squash and mushroom and I ordered the lamb.The portion for the pasta was generous. There were other tables that also had larger groups and seemed to be celebrating. Overall, nice hospitality.

Excellent staff great ambience! Been back a couple times. Their fries are the best on the island!

I took myself on a me date and it was a lovely experience. The bread alone will get me to come back but the winner was the quinoa salad. It was so fresh and bright. The server was attentive made sure everything was to my liking.

A true class act! The Park Street Tavern is owned by a lovely Greek family. The ambiance is magical with their lit fireplace when you walk in. Their menu is amazing, with fun Greek appetizers like dolmas and halloumi cheese. The entree menu is complete with lamb, filet mignon and fish. This is hands down my favorite restaurant in Alameda. It covers all the bases of a classy dinner spot, delicious food and a professional friendly staff. Highly recommend! :)

I came here for a special occasion on a rainy Sunday night. Overall, the city of Alameda was very sleepy and most people were staying home in order to stay dry. It was my husband's 35th birthday and he really wanted a yummy steak dinner, but did not want to venture too far. I had this place bookmarked after watching the local PBS show Check Please, Bay Area!We started our meal with two house margaritas which the bartender is very generous with their pour. My husband chose the fried calamari, beet salad, crabcake appetizers to start. The fried calamari I feel could use a little bit of a harder fry as it was more chewy than crunchy. The crabcakes were very flavorful, and after trying them from their namesake of Baltimore, there is no replica. The beet salad was a complete curveball. There were thick cuts of beets on a bed of feta cheese with arugula salad raspberry or strawberry dressing and some other veggies. I'm not the biggest beat lover, and this salad has me wanting to come back! There's something about the feta cheese and the beets that really combine perfectly.For our main dishes, my husband opted for the ribeye steak, cooked rare, yes, that's right, rare. It's not for everyone but for a good steak it is one of the best ways to eat it. It was fire grilled had the perfect sear on the outside and the perfect amount of rare without being raw. I opted for the lamb chops, which was on this delicious mint yogurt sauce with an array of roasted vegetables, such as tomatoes, potatoes, and cauliflower, along with an arugula salad mix. This was my first time trying lamb chops and I have been wanting more ever since. I would absolutely recommend this place for a classic Greek American dinner with the feel of a small local pub/Tavern.

It has been a while since we have been here.We got confused when you took over in 2018. The employees implied the same ownership but just remodeled???Sorry for the very late review and if I find my pictures, I will post later.Quality/Quantity - Overall the food is good. Better than the previous ownership.The place also looks better.Ribeye - Cooked well. I was worried that I was not able to finish but it was not an issue. And I am a light eater, so that might say something.Greek Lentils - My healthy buddy's choice and he said it was good. He also finished his meal.Atmosphere -Decent size restaurant.Open 7 days a week from 4-9pm, dinner only. You used to be open for lunch...? I'm told you have a small parking lot...?Street parking is not an issue for us.Service - Just okay.Price - Above average. For these prices, I expect the food to be a little better.Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2018.

Fabulous! Simply fabulous! Can't believe this was my first time here! You can't judge this book by its cover. It is a hidden gem!!! Lovely dinner, service was excellent and food was fantastic! I am a Keto/low carb jerk right now, and this dinner was a dream! We loved the pancetta wrapped prawn app! Super good. And I had the ribeye and they let me sub in cauliflower for the fries. It was the perfect Keto meal. Steak was cooker perfectly. The cauliflower and arugula side dish was absolutely delicious. They also made me a lovely martini and was terrific wine selection. This place is a gem. We will be coming back often and I highly recommend!

Where has this restaurant been hiding!My niece found this for dinner to celebrate her sister's 40th Birthday. The food was fantastic!Our waitress was so nice and very professional, she did a great job since there are 18 in our family- she had her hands full plus 2 other groups.We brought a cake, which they charge for cutting and serving but it well worth it. Great service, close to home, and food was delicious!We will be back !

The owner is great and the pasta is quite delicious. Nice wine too. A go-to when we know we'll get good food.
