  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
We specialize in fresh seafood in generous portions. Come and visit us on Wednesday evening when you can "Bring Your Own Wine" and corkage fees are waived. In the last 28 years, we have become a neighborhood favorite for a delicious meal at a great price. When Michael Bauer reviewed us he said, "Good seafood value at Alamo Square." and "The owners of Alamo are veterans at offering good food at great value." as well as "Snapper, salmon, tuna, swordfish, and petrale sole are all priced at $19.75 for a generous half-pound portion. Even with nothing else on the plate, it would be a good deal, but when you add the myriad side dishes, it's astounding."

    A birthday party for ten youngish people definitely amped up the noise level! Next time I'll make an earlier reservation, i.e., before celebrants get too loud!

    Service? What service? My first visit to this neighborhood fixture was disappointing and frustrating leaving me zero appetite for seconds. Ambiance-wise, the restaurant is on the rundown side. It is warmly and softly lit for the most part. The vibe is casual, very chatty, and crowded. The food was hit or miss with unusually small portion sizes across the board. The tomato soup was delicious, but the miserly portion size made it feel like a ripoff. While the entrees were more reasonably priced, the portions were small, and the shrimp risotto was too soupy. We had planned to get dessert. The biggest problem for our party was the service—both in attentiveness and hospitality. The owner/server/host wasn’t very friendly or welcoming to our party of four from the moment we walked in. And he was the ONLY server taking care of all the restaurant’s dozen tables and several large parties in the restaurant. In his triaging of the dining room, we were left for dead. Everything from waiting to order food to getting our pasta dishes to getting the check took frustratingly long. We waited 20+ minutes just to get the check alone. The worst part is that we came in before the rush of the big parties. This restaurant has seen better days, and it’s not the place to take a date or have a special dinner.

    Clearly a well-known inexpensive place in the neighborhood, and while the food was okay, the service was terrible, crossing the border into actual rudeness. Menu was confusing and the conditions of the prix fixe special were not clear -- hence the disdain from our server. Go ahead and take your chances if you're looking for a bargain (sort of), but be prepared for uneven service quality and having the check literally tossed at you without any thought or a thank you. Will not return.

    Fun bistro that just slightly missed the mark. Small plates, need more flavor. Drinks were good. Staff very friendly.

    I had the chicken which was okay, not great. I wouldn't order it again. The seafood dishes looked great. Other guests looked like they enjoyed their meals. Only 1 server for the entire restaurant. She was wonderful and did her best, but it was slow.

    Honestly the waiter was just kind of a d!ck. Maybe he was just French and they can't help but be a-holes, but he was incredibly inattentive and almost seemed resentful/disdainful or some weird type of vibe. I'm truly not the type of person that typically complains about service; I understand it if someone didn't show up to work and you're busy, but he didn't even pretend to attend to us or ask us how we were doing unless we waved him down. Even then, it was very curt. The food was pretty good and reasonably priced. It is also a cute space with a nice location near Alamo Square. I honestly would have given the restaurant five stars had the service not been so bad.
