Alamar Kitchen - Oakland

I just popped in for some quick wings, and I plan to return. The atmosphere was great!

I usually don't write reviews, but I was looking for Caribbean food and stumbled upon this place. I'm so glad I did! From the very first bite, I was hooked.

AlaMar is an absolute must-visit! I thoroughly enjoyed the Guisadas Chicken Wings, Fritura de Chivo, garlic bread, and red beans. Everything was exceptionally flavorful and beautifully presented. Fantastic work, Chef Nelson!

Seriously amazing food!! I went for my birthday with a couple friends and told them we were celebrating it so they brought us birthday shooters! We ordered the chile glazed plantains, tostones, the camarones criolla, the malecon chicken entree and the braised oxtail. Everything about the food was incredible and perfect and I’ll be thinking about this meal for a long time! The cocktails were also outstanding, we had the puerto claro and morir soñiando. We had the cheesecake for dessert which was one of the best cheesecakes I’ve tried in a long time! The restaurant itself is also really cute and they played good music while were there! I’ll definitely be back!!

This place is right on the money, literally. Great flavor and unique dishes that are just excellent, and new to me! Must try the fried goat, plantains and so much more...truly amazing, and changed my mind around goat! Great menu, well seasoned, and fully satisfied without causing a hole in my wallet...we will be back!
