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.

I’ve been meaning to check out this new restaurant in alameda since reading its rave reviews. Yesterday, my birthday, I finally found the right opportunity. What an experience, from the ambience, to the welcoming atmosphere to the exquisite food. Just to provide fuller context for my comments, I am accustomed to Michelin starred restaurants around the planet and this new spot u likely located on Webster in Alameda of all places, is definitely in that category. World class on the corner! What an exquisite experience. The next time you want to treat your pallete, you could not do better.

Well the food wasn’t really good. Egg dishes were all similar to a typical diner. Concentrate orange juice, 12pm on Father’s Day and only servicing breakfast dishes. Decor is nice and waitress tried her best. But overall, not impressed. -Karen

Our server Julie was lovely and incredibly attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered the duck, salmon, tomato app, octopus, tiramisu, lemon basil cheesecake, and Paris Brest. All of the food was ok but nothing special especially considering the price point. The restaurant is beautiful and the food could be great but it was just ok.

We were excited to try this new restaurant. The prices are on the high side, but it is a place for special occasions and a nicer night out. Really nice atmosphere and decor. The food was good (the risotto was a standout, the salmon was fine but nothing special) and the cocktails were great. The service was extremely disappointing, however, and would make us think twice about returning. Our waitress had very little knowledge of the menu (couldn't answer questions and never offered to ask the chef for the info) and had zero urgency in bringing our drinks and food (we waited 10 minutes for her to bring a simple glass of wine after ordering-- she spent most of her time at the kitchen computer or hostess stand) and generally seemed really out of it. We really hoped to make this one of our new favorite spots, but for this price point, Ceron Kitchen needs to step up its service if it wants customers to return.

The most expensive restaurant in city of Alameda. Menu changed often, nice presentations, but not oustanding. Service is inconsistent, could be rushing. Some of the wines in the wine list, i could find in Safeway or Costco at $10/bottle, but paid $11/gls. There's a lot of works to be done there.

Ceron Kitchen's menu looks absolutely amazing. But despite having a ton of dishes that combine lots of delicious ingredients, the finished product was just kind of "meh". And the appetizer portions were pretty small. We arrived at 7:30. The restaurant was like 20% full. We didn't leave until almost 10 pm. That's pretty slow.

We love the space but the service could be more attentive. Our food was hit and miss, which shouldn't be the case at this price point. Really enjoyed the king salmon. The margherita pizza was quite bland and could have used a bit of seasoning. On the other hand, the aquachiles were oversalted. Hopefully the food will improve, as this space could be a hit.

Our server seemed very nice but she was somewhat lacking in experience for what it takes for a high end restaurant. Drinks arrived at an appropriate time. We ordered 2 different bottles of wine. One bottle arrived when we were half done with the food. She was attempting to open the screw off cap with a wine opener. She then poured me a full glass of wine. The other bottle never arrived until we were done and it was presented by the bartender. We declined. Pork chop was well prepared with interest, appeal and was very tasty. The sliders need more on the plate than just meat and bun. Calamari delicious with attractive presentation. Scallops were tasty but beurre blanc needed lemon and a touch of salt. We did not expect to be disappointed by this restaurant.

I absolutely loved taking my husband to Ceron for his birthday. The only thing I wasn’t to happy about was I mentioned that it was his birthday on the reservations but there was no mention off it when we got there. Most restaurants will bring out a small dessert for birthdays. The food was all delicious and I would recommend. The tuna tartare was delicious except for the salmon roe which may be an acquired taste

We went here for Mother’s Day brunch. Loved the décor. The menu offered a nice variety. We ordered the smashed Avacado Benny, lox Benny, regular Benny and the French toast. We started with a pear and Gorgonzola salad. Everything looked and tasted great. My only ding was that the hollandaise sauce didn’t have much flavor. It was nice and light but needed a little stronger flavor. The French toast was fantastic. Our waitress and serving staff were awesome. We will definitely go back.
