Cape 7 Cafe — Restaurant in Alameda

The owner of this place has set his establishment up to fail and that includes his hard working manager. I will no longer support this restaurant until the owner provides the proper kitchen, wait and server staff to handle its guests and their orders. Multiple times we have awaited over an hour for food, while the manager attempted to do his best to make up for the long wait time. Our most recent experience was this weekend. Moderate crowd for Mother's Day and waited over a a hour and twenty mins for food and when it was awful! The eggs Benedict looked like it was slipped out of a can and the pulled pork was anything but! When a family member went to speak with a server to share her concern, the female server snapped at her and asked, "did your dog die? Because THAT'S a problem!" Seriously! This is how your wait staff treats its guest?! And on Mother's Day of all days. Please do not waste your time, effort and money when the owner clearly does not care. Please enjoy many of the other fine establishments in...

We have been going here since they opened and generally have had great experiences. I will say that if you go with a dog or just generally want to sit outside at this time of year, make absolutely certain that multiple waitstaff know that you are outside. Our most recent visit, we left without ever being served because we assumed that when we told one employee that we'd be eating outside, that they'd tell the wait staff. Moreover, because the band (which plays great music on weekends!) was set up in front of the door to the side patio, there was no easy way to get to the side patio, so we instead went to the front patio. Unfortunately, no one ever came out to take our order. An aberration to be sure, as we've otherwise had great service and good food - generous portions, and we're especially fond of their pancakes and burgers. Plus - the plates for...

Walked by this place and was curious, mostly because of the eclectic offerings of Chinese food, American diner breakfast and Boba Tea. All located in a pirate /nautical/seafood theme restaurant. Not sure what I was expecting but sadly the food was pretty terrible. Hollandaise was yellow vinegar and I think the ham was Spam? Really bad percolated coffee and long wait time. I'd compare it to Denny's. Also, there was a guitar player inside (on Sunday) who didn't actually play songs, but seemed to be practicing various melodies and jamming. His amp was very loud and we almost left because the "music" was more like noise pollution. Maybe the Chinese food would be better,...
