   Great looking place with decent food. But service was not up to par for a $300 night for 2. Great idea having 2 ways to check in but if no one's there to greet you and your just standing around for a couple minutes probably doesn't work. Also my server probably doesn't like his job so much. Or didn't like us but when you spend that kind of money a good server can really make or break your experience. There are way too many good restaurants and would not go back.

   Ceron Kitchen has lived up to their reputations of the best restaurant in the island of Alameda. On Valentine's Day the owner Vicente Ceron gave individual long stem roses to all the ladies. Classy touch!👏 Chef Juan Jaquez is creative, innovation with some old school techniques. The owner Vincente Ceron is a hands on operator. Our waiter Jesus was professional, courteous and details-oriented. Recommend: calamari fritto, jumbo garlic prawns, Dungeness crab & brokaw avocado, Tomahaw steak for 2. For dessert: Paris brest, creme brulee

   Poor service (waiter was very soft spoken and did not seem to have knowledge about the food and menu) and over priced food. I ordered the lobster fettuccine and the lobster was really undercooked (like gelatin). I left a good portion untouched as it appeared to be raw so didn’t get my moneys worth. When I asked about it, I was told the chefs response is it’s cooked al dente (waiter had no idea what this meant when I asked as I only thought pasta is cooked al dente so it didn’t make sense to me) and I was not asked how to make it right or did they seem to care that I was not satisfied with the raw food. If they wish to prepare it that way they should ask how you want it cooked upon ordering. Really overrated and over priced.

   One of the best meals I've ever had. I'm never disappointed at Ceron. The cheese plate was perfection, the crab and avocado is absolutely delicious, and our drinks were spot on! I will definitely be back many times!

   Upon entering, the restaurant’s ambience was amazing & really made an impression. I entered through the back entrance and stood there for maybe a minute or so & after not being greeted, I walked through the restaurant & found my party. The restaurant was fairly empty, including my party, there were 4 other tables of diners (1 was a birthday of about 8ish people). Orders were taken promptly, food arrived timely, though not all together (party of 3) and was well seasoned, a good temperature and most importantly quite tasty. I would absolutely return and would recommend the restaurant for brunch, lunch or cocktails!

    Went to lunch with a colleague to discuss business. The staff was expecting us and allowed us to choose the most comfortable booth. Since it was our first time, we asked for recommendations. We enjoyed each and every dish and can't wait to return to try more items on the menu.
