I'm sad we had not been to Speisekammer earlier. This is German food done just-right. We came for a milestone birthday and had a very easy, delicious, meal. Drinks were good and our son, who prefers burgers, had one and said it was really good. Service was really friendly and thoughtful.

Took my wife, our children's mother, to Speisekammer for an early Mother's Day dinner, and came away knowing it was exactly the right choice. The waitress was friendly, perky, and perfectly tuned in to our sense of fun and humor; the service was so fast, the speed of light felt endangered. The food (sauerbraten; jaeger...something) was 1) Easily enough for two; 2) perfectly delicious. The expense was such that we are validated in having come to Speisekammer many times before and will continue to do so.

What made me decide on Speiskammer for lunch were the stellar reviews found on Google and Yelp. I am sad to say that I found the food to be nothing like what I had read in the reviews. I ordered the typical German dishes, schnitzel with spätzle, I also had a pretzel as an appetizer, all were very underwhelming and the flavors were very bland. Additionally the spätzle came out a bit cold.. I’d like to preface with the fact that I am a bit of a foodie and have eaten at many restaurants throughout the Bay Area, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento areas. Internationally, I have travelled to Germany on several occasions and had authentic German food, this didn’t come close. Having said that, the drinks and Apple strudel were very good! Additionally the service was good, our waitress was friendly and the ambiance was fantastic. If this is what you enjoy I’d highly recommend but if it’s delicious authentic German food, I would pass on this restaurant.

We sat outside with our dog for dinner around 8 pm so the crowd was thinning out. We ordered the meat platter sized for two or three to try an assortment from their menu and beef with cabbage roll and schnitzel for everyone to try. Everything was really tasty. We tried several German beers and we all had our favorites. They have a menu for dogs also and our dog loved it. Worth at least one stop to try and we shall be back.

Always fantastic - our favorite restaurant on Alameda. We were lucky to be seated in the back room, directly in front of the small, roaring fireplace on a chilly evening. Fun Bavarian-themed decor with a large Schwarzwald hunting-themed cuckoo clock and fully-antlered taxidermy on the walls. The menu has slimmed down, but still has a huge cocktails list and many cold and pickled-veg salads.

Lovely place to hang out in the afternoon. Nice diverse selection of German beers. Conversion of the parking lot into beer garden nice, could use a touch more ambiance (music would be lovely). Still, great place to hang out on a nice afternoon. We did not eat inside so cannot speak to the ambiance inside. Food was very very tasty. Portions were good and by looks of other's plates very generous. For some items pricing seemed spot on, others a little high. For example $12.50 for a pretzel and cheese and the pretzel was rather small (one person really), sausages also maybe a bit high for sausages. Sandwiches looked great and large, mains (dinner entrees) also looked very large and generous. Would absolutely come back and enjoy the beers and food. Oh, and service was outstanding. The gal we had was WONDERFUL. Very attentive without being intrusive. Lovely sense of humor and helpful with questions about the food and beers.
