    I recently had the pleasure of dining at a Ceron Kitchen and I must say, it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was inviting, and the service was exceptional, all thanks to my server and bartender, Karina. The food was nothing short of amazing! I ordered the Ribeye and it was cooked to absolute perfection. Juicy, tender, and bursting with flavor, it was easily one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. The menu also offered a variety of options that piqued my interest, making it difficult to choose just one dish. Karina, my server, truly made my visit special. She was not only sweet and attentive, but also incredibly helpful with her recommendations. Her warm personality and professionalism enhanced the dining experience, and I know that if I ever return, I’ll definitely ask for her again. During my visit, I also had the chance to meet the owner of the restaurant. He was such a nice guy, very down-to-earth and humble. It’s always refreshing to see the person behind the business taking the time to connect with customers. Overall, I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone in or visiting Alameda. The combination of exceptional food, outstanding service, and a welcoming atmosphere makes it a must-visit. Whether you’re a local or a traveler just passing through, make sure to stop by and, if you can, ask for Karina – she’ll make your dining experience unforgettable
