Best Restaurants for Birthdays in Alameda

Celebrated birthday at Spinning Bones, everything was great the food exceptional we had made plans for the house of prime rib but I can say that the quality of the prime rib was better than House. The beef was tender and flavorful medium rare kudos to the chef

Who knew Oakland goes off like this? Incredible open space in what I assume is a converted warehouse. I sat upstairs, overlooking the main dining area, which was perfect. Really diverse crowd, fantastic set list by the DJ, great overall energy. Shared the Caesar salad to start, which frankly could have been half the size (it was two full romaine hearts) and the 1lb Ribeye with fries. Finished with the bread pudding. That was more than enough. Great service. Note that 20% gratuity is automatically added, which I was fine with, but just beware so you don't double-tip.

The food and cocktails at Burdell are exciting and surprising. The flavors are bold and perfectly balanced, with ingredients and styles you don’t usually find in fine dining. The service is more casual than other restaurants of its caliber, friendly and comfortable. For instance our server noticed my enthusiasm for the miso peanut sauce at the bottom of our empty bowl of boiled peanuts, and he kindly brought a little spoon so I could keep adding the delicious gravy to my plate. My husband and I adored Burdell and return soon!

Delicious pizza - my favorite! Beautiful restaurant in an old bank.
