Ceron Kitchen is the manifestation of the life long dream of Vicente Ceron. Vicente has had a desire to own a restaurant for as long as he could remember. After years of hard work and success as the owner of construction companies, he is finally realizing his dream. Vicente became friends with Ceron Kitchen Executive Chef Juan Jaquez and their relationship has led them to opening Ceron Kitchen, together. Chef Jaquez has worked in several reputable restaurants throughout the Bay Area as a line cook and head chef. Chef Jaquez presents his take on New American Cuisine at Ceron Kitchen. Chef Jaquez will feature Dinner to begin and will later introduce Brunch and Lunch menus. All will offer combinations of seafood and prime steaks along with his signature octopus dishes. Ceron Kitchen is located on the Westside of Alameda on Webster Street, nearby the old Alameda Navy Base. Vicente Ceron is currently building the campus for space rocket company Astra, just down the street.

Chef Juan will design a special Multi-Course Tasting Dinner Menu. The dinner is accompanied by an included wine pairing. Seating is limited. Event will begin at 6:00 pm. This experience is for an open minded and adventurous group as there are no substitutions or modifications. Furthermore, Chef Juan will not release the menu prior to service. We had a lot of fun doing our first of these back on August 9 and expect the event to be even better this time around!

We were warmly welcomed and taken to our table. Wine and craft cocktails do not disappoint. The Sage and their Fall pumpkin drinks were great. The Ahi Tuna Tartar was tasteful and refreshing, although get an extra chip with it. Moving onto dinner the menu has something for everyone! Seafood Linguine and Scallops with octopus were exceptional, although octopus and scallops need some seasoning. Desert was another hit! Paris Brest was sweet and savory. Roasted hazelnuts and Gelato really brings out the flavor. Will definitely be back. Service was 5 star!

Meals were coursed very late, my drink order was wrong, my eggs were nearly undercooked, there were eggshells in my brothers omelette and service was slow. This is all fine amd dandy in a diner but if the meal costs 300 dollars this is was a poor reflection of the restaurant. They offered to refund the omelette and then backtracked. Better ways to spend money on food.

First time dining at Ceron Kitchen and we found it to be outstanding. Our server Jesus was very accommodating and friendly. We started with the Calamari Fritto and it was delicious- large pieces of calamari and some roasted brussel sprouts and shishito peppers. The batter was light and crunchy. I had the Filet Mignon and it was very tender and flavorful- served with whipped mashed potatoes and tasty grilled asparagus. My husband enjoyed his Linguini Pasta. Since we were celebrating our anniversary we were treated to a surprise glass of champagne- nice touch!

I took out three of my clients for a business luncheon this past Monday, 8/7. All three of them had never been there before but loved their meals! We were able to order a variety of mocktails on a workday, had a variety of menu options, and had room to share two (2) desserts. All three clients plan on personally returning to Ceron with their friends and family!

Nice place for a quiet early dinner on a Thursday night. The wait-staff are very kind and friendly. My friend had the burger, which was perfectly done. I had the salmon and it was like sushi, raw in the middle, very undercooked. Expensive ordering mistake, I didn't even eat half of it.

We sat on the patio, which kept the noise level very low. The service was excellent, staff was patient with us as we chose some courses after we had finished others. The food was also excellent: cheese plate, salads, clam chowder, duck, lamb, and filet. Great place for a celebration- we had a birthday in our group and got a gift of champagne and a birthday candle in our dessert. Definitely on the pricey end, but we’ll worth it for a special occasion.

When dining out, I'm usually all about the appetizers and desserts, but I have to say the best dishes we had Wednesday night were the entrees. I had the Spanish Branzino and every different flavor on the plate was delicious and greatly complimented each other. My dining partner had the Pappardelle Bolognese of which she couldn't get enough, even mentioned returning for more. This is of special note, because she has, post cancer treatment, lost much of her sense of taste, and has been looking for adequate flavor in this category of dish (spaghetti with meat sauce) and has ordered it at a number of restaurants, which all have failed to deliver. I'm very thankful to have found something that makes her happy.
