We had our corporate holiday dinner here, and the service and food were great. I had their salmon, and it was cooked perfectly. I was surprised it came with the cheese ravioli since I didn't fully read what was included. I thought the salmon only came with beurre-blanc sauce and some sort of carbs, but it was a treat to find generous portions of the ravioli. They were very accommodating and also had a full bar. I would come back here again.
A pretty interior with a warm hospitality and reasonably good service. The 4 stars that tendIt has a really pretty interior with warm hospitality and reasonably good service. to be given here is usually because the dishes are uneven - meaning some are fabulous, like their crab and avocado omelette. Other things are in the fair-to-middle category, like their lobster roll, which is described accurately, and so similar to an East Coast version you'll simply wonder about the price markup to bring it to the West Coast. Beef Tartare wask good, but I'm not sure caviar is in the same category as the absent quail egg. The clam chowder seemed a bit too watery, but the flavor was good with pancetta making a good pairing with the clams. The place is usually very quiet at lunch time, especially on weekends, so you can have your run of this rather massive place that has really decent parking.
Wow! Five star experience! We ordered the oysters, wedge salad, calamari, crab cakes, biscuits, clam chowder, lobster fettuccine, linguini pasta, and rib eye. Literally EVERY DISH was fire. Soooo good! Arnold provided fantastic service. I work in the industry so I notice small details and the whole team did an excellent job. Our water glasses never went half way empty :) Very spacious, super clean, beautifully decorated. I loved that their Christmas trees were up already, that made it feel super cozy and festive! I would definitely come back and highly recommend Ceron to others who are looking for a nice dinner with yummy food and an extensive bar selection.
I've been to this location before, but when it used to be a restaurant called Otaez. I could hardly recognize the interior - whoever took over and created Ceron did an absolutely amazing job of truly making this place their own. The interior feels fresh and bright and it looks sophisticated without being stiff/stuffy. It was the perfect setting for our 9-person gathering and at 1 PM on a Wednesday afternoon, there were some other parties in the restaurant, but we eventually became the only ones there. I completely forgot that this place has parking in the back and paid for a metered spot outside, but next time around, I will be parking in their lot. Do not, though, make the mistake of parking in the lot adjacent to the front of the restaurant because that belongs to an auto body shop. Their weekday lunch menu, not sure if it differs from weekends, gave a good breadth of choices, but wasn't Cheesecake Factory overwhelming. We got wedge salads, brussels sprouts, and calamari for appetizers and all three were things I would get again. The main standout, though, were the brussels sprouts which were breaded and fried. I probably would have liked brussels sprouts a lot sooner in my life if they were served to me like that as a child. A number of people in our party opted for the more breakfast/brunch lunch options, but I zeroed in on the bolognese when I first glanced at the menu. When the waitress came around again, I stuck to that order and was really pleased with my choice. I didn't get the name of our waitress, but they were very attentive and accommodating. She honestly must have had to refill my water glass alone more than five times (still in nursing mom mode!) and she was also willing to help us take group photos at the end of the meal. All in all, we had a really great time at Ceron and would definitely come back. The ambiance, food, and service make this is a great choice for any occasion.
Visited Ceron with 3 friends for Saturday brunch. Place opens at 10am and was empty...it's unfortunate as the interior is beautiful and aesthetically gorgeous (Modern Mission style) from the former business (Otaez Mexican Restaurant). *sigh* The vibe almost transports you to dining in the City without going across the bridge and circling for parking. The menu is creative and interesting so plenty of items to try. Options for brunch: eggs Benedict, chicken and waffles, simple breakfast with coffee cake and sandwiches. I opted for the French dip sandwich which was presented well and enjoyed the accompanying potato salad. Though good I probably wouldn't order again and try a seafood dish . Friends enjoyed their dishes and what really finished off the meal was the chocolate silk dessert. Light chocolate mousse with a chocolate-crust with varying textures of chocolate gelato, candied hazelnut and chocolate tuile. Our server/host was the Owner/Executive Chef Juan Jaquez - very welcoming, engaging, and mentioned he formerly was head chef at Paradiso, San Leandro for 15 years....i knew the food was different after the pandemic and time he left to open Ceron! I really enjoyed the food when he was there and will have to return to Ceron to try their dinner service. Service was efficient and attentive even after more people arrived. Place is a great venue for a special occasion and meet up with friends. I'd definitely return to try some of their appetizers and eyeing the Berkshire Pork chop. Everything looks delicious albeit pricing on the higher side with like spots. Nevertheless, I'll give it a try if Juan is in charge of dinner service! :) Parking lot in back with metered street parking. Outdoor patio up front (facing Webster) and bar area is great when weather permits or if you have a pet. Highly recommend visiting Ceron!
High end dine in restaurant in alameda, great for date night or catch up with friends. I didn't know it existed until I stayed at the hotel across the street. It has a dark fancy interior in a good way. WHAT WE ORDERED Lobster fettuccine Seafood fettuccine Pappardelle frutti di mare All entrees were rich and fresh in flavors. Wish I discovered it sooner. Service was excellent, server was very attention to our needs and checked in on us a few times. They even close the blinds for us where we sat by the windows when it was sunset.
Delicious! Took the family out for Saturday morning brunch. We ordered the following: - Calamari Fritto - Chorizo Omelette - Lobster Fettuccine - Florentine Benedict - Steak and Eggs - Wedge Salad I cannot express how good that lobster fettuccine was. You'll have to order it and taste it yourself!
