    Ceron Kitchen has lived up to their reputations of the best restaurant in the island of Alameda. On Valentine's Day the owner Vicente Ceron gave individual long stem roses to all the ladies. Classy touch!👏 Chef Juan Jaquez is creative, innovation with some old school techniques. The owner Vincente Ceron is a hands on operator. Our waiter Jesus was professional, courteous and details-oriented. Recommend: calamari fritto, jumbo garlic prawns, Dungeness crab & brokaw avocado, Tomahaw steak for 2. For dessert: Paris brest, creme brulee

    We have been dining here for over 11 years, we live in Green Valley and travel over an hour, usually to get here due to traffic. It’s absolutely worth it. Thank you to Giuseppe and Christine, and all of their wonderful staff. Tonight our server was Nico and he was wonderful! The food is always so delicious and fresh, but even more importantly, our service is always top-notch. Thank you so much always. Wade and Christine Coleman
