My friend and I had the new item: cheesesteak wrap with waffle fries and drinks…read more The wraps were huge and very tasty & filling for the money. The waffle fries were plenty. The restaurant was very busy for a Thursday lunchtime. Most were for to-go meals.A few people ate inside or outside the restaurant and their meals looked very good! The service is typically normal for this type of restaurant. The ambiance is a simple Mediterranean style no frills decor. We came mainly for the food and fellowship between two long time friends. We came to this restaurant a few times last year. We plan to return when our cravings are high for Q Halal food!

I've been going to Park Street Tavern for many years, and I'm never disappointed. What I appreciate…read moremost is that they clearly care about more than simply serving great food and drinks. They make their customers feel genuinely welcomed, comfortable, and appreciated. That welcoming atmosphere seems to bring people together. Customers are more relaxed, friendly, and open to chatting with one another, which creates a sense of community that you don't find everywhere. There's something really special about that--and it's exactly why I keep coming back and bringing my friends with me. Park Street Tavern feels less like a place I simply go to eat and more like a place I'm always happy to return to.

I can't believe it took me so many years to come here! I thought it was a tavern like a bar. That's…read morewhy I never ventured in. But recently I came with two of my girlfriends and was blown away by how wholesome the menu is! Plus on the menu it says they only use butter, olive oil and beef tallow! No seed oils! All the good food digested so peacefully. What a hidden gem! The waitress was so helpful and pleasant. Everyone seemed in such good spirits there. The restaurant was pretty full. It was clean and ambiance is comfortable and it's very lovely inside, had a reminiscent decor of old-time restaurants.

The Friday that I visited this restaurant, there was a marketplace being held on the sidewalk. I'm…read morenot sure if this made parking more of a challenge than usual. After waiting until 5pm. I was able to order the Muhammara dip, falafel, halloumi and pistachio baklava (they do offer walnut). My favorites were the muhammara, which was the richest version of this dip that I've ever had and the baklava. Regarding the dip, I wonder if they char the bell peppers to the extreme. Yum! The baklava was perfection even though they were only bite sized morsels. I definitely could do without either of the other dishes. Falafels had an off taste and the halloumi didn't have the crisp exterior I enjoy. Was the baklava overpriced ($7)? I'll let you be the judge. It was tasty. Here's What I Think...if you're in the neighborhood and want a quick bite, grab some baklava and muhammara.

I can tell how passionate he is about the food and he was proud we were trying new things. We went for a girls night and every person left satisfied and full. I had the salmon ravioli and chefs kiss!

I can't wait to go back and try more items on the menu.

Lovely evening celebrating my son's graduation from SFSU!…read moreHis choice of venue and it did not disappoint! Everything was delicious from plate to plate. We started with apps, garlic toast with special Marinara, asparagus wrapped in Filo , beets sprinkled with feto. For dinner we shared the entrees family style which was a delight! Buscatini with chicken, eggplant and lamb, stipe bass with white sauce, palella with seafood. Bucatini and sauce was delicious. The chicken that topped it was a bit dry. Eggplant was good! The lamb was a bit gamey tasting. My son thought it was from New Zealand as their lamb taste is more prominent. Stripe bass with white sauce and veggies good! We wanted salmon but it was sold out. Palella was flavorful and enjoyable. Everything on this plate cooked just right! To continue the celebration we ate dessert! Crème brûlée, raspberry sorbet, chocolate crème. Delectable and hit the spot finish :-) Thank you Asena for capping off a beautiful day with tantalizing our tastebuds.

I was so bummed to find out my favorite fast casual spot in downtown Alameda has closed its doors…read morefor good! I was in the area looking to grab a bite before heading to Southie to catch the Hawks manhandle the Niners. As usual, the restaurant that I always look to forward to visiting is Hummus Republic. Once I found some parking around the corner, I was happily skipping down the block towards the entrance, until... The place was dark, and no one was inside. I had to do a double take to make sure it wasn't one of the scheduled closed days. Sure enough, it was not. There was also no signage on the window or any mention of a vacation or emergency. It was just... closed. As I looked inside, I noticed some furniture and decor had already been removed, so I knew it was beyond the point of no return. In any event, it is indeed a dark time for me, as I frequented Hummus Republic quite often. Yes, I know it is a chain, but the nearest one that I know of now is all the way in Livermore near the outlets. Honestly, it's not completely a shock though, as this particular location was often empty, and I also heard that rent is quite high. There are also alternative Mediterranean shops in the vicinity, such as Tahina and Q's, but none of them combine the level of freshness, convenience and overall value as Hummus Republic. Although it's a lazy comparison used a zillion times before, just think of Hummus Republic as the Chipotle of Mediterranean fare. Depending on who you get serving you, portions can range from large to absolutely gargantuan. It's no exaggeration when I say that a single bowl serving is pretty much enough for both lunch and dinner. Coming from a pig like yours truly, that is saying a lot! Sadly, this exact address also seems to have a high turnover rate, as I have seen a myriad of various businesses sprout up there in recent years. Hopefully the next tenant will provide something to fill the inevitable void. RIP Hummus Republic! You will be sorely missed! The only thing that improved my mood after witnessing this sad news was watching the Hawks absolutely mollywhop the Niners. :‑D

Service was superb to the point ice was provided to keep hummus fresh till it arrived home. Offering (Greek): hummus, garlic spread, salad, olives, yogurt, grape leaves, pita bread/chips.. Licks: hummus was what I desired. Didn't want to accept whatever samples offered. Wanted to self-choose. -no sugar nor salt added. All flavas natural. 20+varietals. New flavas weekly. Not all "Greek". -seems all have base ingredients: chickpeas, spices, sesame tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, roasted garlic. Cactus Hummus (7) 8 oz. -...radish, Serrano (peppers), tomato, onions. -base taste in background with nuanced notes of tomato, onions and sharp hotness in foreground. Crunchiness of onions & radish felt. Artichoke & Spinach Hummus (7) 8oz. ...artichoke, spinach+ base. -greenish coloured. Flava earthy with subtle notes from artichoke, spinach. *doubt I will buy hummus again. Like any well known snacks/food. The base is the same. Flavas are variable. Other offerings are possible eats.. Didn't buy any pita chips cuz they are addictive. Eating too much messes with my yin yang-too much fried goodness. 4 stars for hummus, 5th star for service.
