Reviews for Pier 29 Waterfront Restaurant & Bar in Alameda, CA

Pier 29 used to be good place to eat at reasonable price. My birthday dinner there was terrible. I ordered the Lamb Shank... which I had order before. It was the worst Lamb Shank I ever had. It look like leftover from previous night. They justmicrowave and add more gravy:-( Read more

Lovely atmosphere and location. Don't get me wrong this is a great place to eat seafood and seafood only. My orders didn't come... as I requested which is a medium cooked burger. I got a well done burger that doesn't have a taste to it, ordered another oneand came even worse, a place like this with these prices should prioritize food presentation and understanding customersrequests. Unfortunately that was $60 down the drain. I do not recommend if you're looking for anything other than seafood. Read more

I had the pleasure of being served and meeting Efrain on an early Saturday Afternoon. He made the entire meal a joy and chatted... with me and also checked in on me frequently. He made me feel like he’d known me for years and did so by just being kind andinformative. This gentleman is the embodiment of the culinary/service industry. I only leave reviews for places I genuinelyenjoy and Efrain made sure that I’ll be back with friends, family, and whomever else I can get to make the trek here. Todaywas my first trip to Alameda and I will never forget it because of his kindness. If anyone from Pier 29 management, or theowners see this, this man seriously deserves a significant raise or bonus. He made a really bad week into a great one. ThanksEfrain. I won’t forget my time here. Read more

B&B We went to this place for dinner Sunday looking for a local place to relax and eat near the water. The atmosphere was nice... the décor was OK the bar looked great and I expected a little bit more when they put the food down on our table. I kind ofsuspected that our meal wasn't going to be the best one we were served buns out of a bag. I ordered a Cajun halibut withvegetables but the vegetables and the halibut was was boiled and then fried with Cajun seasoning, The fries were out of a bagthe carrots were out of a bag as well the only thing that was fresh was the spinach on my plate. My partner had a walnut andpear salad. The walnuts had some type of caramel on it that you would swear if you were eating Now or Later candy it would bejust like that feeling that may have pulled out your feelings, that's how hard the caramel was on the walnuts. Never had thatbefore. Trying to enjoy the atmosphere the saving grace was Paul bartender we both raspberry mojito that was great. We may havehad 2 bad dishes but because this is a nice atmosphere we might return just might return just for the drinks and somethingeasier to make so I can only really give this place 2 and a 1/2 stars.

Stopped in for lunch after a nice walk over at Crab Cove. Lots of parking and nice views of Ballena Bay. Had a few cocktails and... had a nice lunch outside. Staff is very friendly and nice. The menu is packed with tasty meals and they have a full bar. Clamchowder was fresh, warm and yummy. I had the fish and chips and wasn't disappointed in the slightest. What a great place tochill and have a good time. Read more

Went there with some friends over the weekend. The place is located at the Yacht dock. Nice and peaceful place. Menu was great.... I enjoyed Sautéed Prawn. Started with Fresh OJ and 2 sides. Both were awesome. For starters, sauces were awesome. Main coursewere fantastic and delicious. We ended the lunch with super awesome dessert. After the heavy, we went for light walk aroundwith view of Bay Bridge. Service was great and fast too. Waiter was very courteous and respectful. Highly recommend this placeto try and visit. Read more
