The Experience, Alameda: The Park Street Tavern Specials

The Experience:

Tavern Specials + Mediterranean Classics

Did you know that Park St Tavern is always showcasing something ‘special’ each day. Sometimes it’s the fresh catch of the day and sometimes a special house-made pasta dish. Be sure to ask about the specials.

Feel conflicted between seafood and pasta? Try their special Fettuccine Seafood Garlic Alfredo with prawns and scallops!

Some of their  Mediterranean favorites: The Orzo and Salmon is served with baby spinach, mushrooms and roasted tomatoes in a vodka garlic sauce and the Homemade Gnocchi with Pesto is made with a pesto sauce with mushrooms and roasted cherry tomatoes. Another big hit, the Lamb Paidakia is a Greek marinated and grilled lamb chop served with a hot Greek potato salad with roasted red potatoes, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, kalamata olives, arugula and crispy polenta.

And you can always stop by the lounge, with the welcoming vibe of a neighborhood bar, for some small bites & your fav from the wine or cocktail list. Fans rave about their newly remodeled bar! Hours: Daily 4-9pm. Bar opens at 4pm. Dinner at 5pm. They look forward to seeing you! (510) 671-2867
