    Italian special sandwich
    Art Por D.

    Good sandwich. Lots of space to sit indoors and outdoors. Service was quick. I'd probably swap the spread for mustard so this might be top a tier sandwich just wasn't for my palette. Will come back again and do the swap. Update rating then also.

    Peanut butter bar
    Mel S.

    Excited to have finally tried this place :). Staff and Service: - Order at the register and your number will be called for you to pick your food up at the counter (took about 10-15 minutes as I went during lunchtime hours) Food and Drinks: - East Meets West: I'm so glad I picked this sandwich. It contained tasty bulgogi, red onion, jalapeños, avocado, provolone, and a garlic spread. What more could you want? I got it in a ciabatta roll, which made it easy to eat. - Each sandwich comes with a choice to do just the sandwich, Combo A (chips and canned soda), or Combo B (soup or salad). - Peanut Butter Bar: not sure if this was a protein bar? Either way, it was a bar packed with peanut butter and small dried cranberries, which was an interesting surprise. It was a little on the chalky side, but it still had good flavor Miscellaneous: - Bathrooms are located outside and around the corner (shared with the other businesses in the Research Park) - Parking is available via the shared parking lot with the other businesses - There are about 10 or so tables inside, 2 tables immediately outside, and then a few tables located along the railing that divides the walking path from the dock to the boats

    I visited this cute, small deli shop for the first time and got a sandwich on a roll, toasted. The sandwich itself was good, but I felt it could have been better. The toaster they used didn't really crisp the bread as I expected, so it didn't stay warm for long, especially with the cold ham and veggies. That being said, the price was decent,cheaper than other delis I've been to.

    I highly recommend emailing your order to Esther and pick up to save time. The owners are always friendly and helpful. My coworkers and I enjoy the sandwiches with a view here. One time, I forgot to include a client's lunch so I called it in, parked on a curb, ran with my heels because chicken salad plate was already ready to pick up. It was Marcela who helped me that day so I truly appreciate it!!

    Italian Special Sandwich
    Samantha J.

    Tucked away in Alameda's marina, you'll find the best sandwiches on the island. I ordered the Italian special which came on delicious sourdough bread. This sandwich had the right amount of salami and ham and had a perfect ratio of red onion, lettuce, tomato, and their house garlic spread. This is a great stop for a delicious, affordable lunch. There are tables inside and out with a beautiful view of Oakland across the harbor. 10/10, will be back!

    Chicken Salad Sandwich
    Allyson U.

    My family was in town and they were craving a sandwich, so they picked WD. I had never been before, but it was so close to where I work. Not to mention reasonable pricing! We arrived and there was one other person there. We followed their social distance protocols. We browsed the menu--I was waffling between tuna and chicken salad. Ultimately, I chose the later because it came with avocado. We ordered three sandwich, chip, & drink combos and by the time we walked out, there was a line of people. Our order took less than 10 minutes and everyone's sandwich looked great. I notes that their hot sauce selection included sriracha and Tabasco. The Dutch crunch roll was nice and tender. A part of me wishes I got it toasted, but feared it would tear up the roof of my mouth :P The chicken salad tasted good and the veggies were fresh. I enjoyed the meal very much and look forward to visiting again for the tuna melt (and other items)!

    Waterfront Deli... on the water side of the building
    Walter B.

    Walt from Walt's Adventures here. I found myself at the Waterfront Deli in Alameda, California! It's a small deli next to a marina in Alameda. It's located on the waterside of a nondescript building filled with small businesses. However, it is worth visiting because it is a pearl in the ocean. The deli has a good selection of sandwiches and salads and even makes a number of sandwiches to meet your breakfast needs. I ordered a turkey sandwich with cranberry sauce. It was a well made sandwich and it was just the right size. I ordered it with chips and a soda. It was a good sandwich but for my tastes, it was a bit dry. We also ordered the Mediterranean Wrap with chicken. This was a fine, well crafted sandwich. Like other delis, they bring your order to your table. However, they do so on a silver platter. No, I do not mean this figuratively but literally. It was a silver platter! No other restaurant that I have ever visited has ever do so. 4 out of 5 because I got a pickle with my tray but others in my party did not. I thought it was an oddity. If you want to sit peacefully by the water, have a perfected sandwich and take a small break from life, seek out the Waterfront Deli. It's located in Alameda, California

While I was unfamiliar with ordering food for a large number of people, Priscilla helped recommend the amount of food for the requirements, "I don't want to run out of food during the event" and "we love desserts". Another side note: I was catering snacks rather than a meal. I ended up ordering - tri-tip - mashed potatoes - roasted veggies - assorted bread - lemon garlic salmon - veggie garlic pasta - Greek salad - dinner rolls - fresh fruit display - fresh fruit tarts - petit fours - gluten free mini cupcakes: red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, lemon I appreciate that Priscilla suggested to halve the salmon fillets to have double the number of salmon pieces for guests to have snack portions rather than meal portions. Although mini cupcakes were not listed on her menu, she was able to provide them. Also, you can ask her about gluten free desserts. You can have more than just macarons. Compliments I received... "Did you make the food? The salmon and tri-tip were so juicy." "This is better than most wedding food." 2 people inquired who I used to cater for the event. I received general praise that the food was good. I received explicit praise that the petit fours and fruit tarts were good. The mashed potatoes were thick but good. Passion for catering's setup and tear down went smoothly. It was maybe 20-30 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of tear down. I appreciate that they were able to provide decor for the food tables. They also provided some takeout containers for us to take leftover food. 10/10 would cater from them again.

    First off, 100% pros! Highly recommend you consider (at least get a quote) using the historic venue…read morefor any function for 70 or less! Susan (owner) is prompt and responsible on communications. Usually same day, 24 hours at the most. She is also a direct communicator (i.e., she will volunteer best practices in advance - which I personally resonated to). You can tell she has expertise in catering immediately. We needed a seating plan for our church's 20th Anniversary to accommodate 70 people and were able to get 60 in the main room and another table for the remaining 10 just outside in the adjoining buffet/bar area ( with line of sight to main room there was no problem). We opted in for some appetizers and a buffet style menu and hosted refreshment bar. The catered pricing, including venue was more than I was expecting, but in hindsight was reasonable considering the flexibility in set up accommodations, wonderful service and tasty food. Susan permitted several onsite run throughs for us, and gave us early access to set up which was an unexpected perk. Our service team consisting of Lisa, Julie, Adriana and Shelly were all in place and totally in the zone the entire event. They had out on platters the stuffed mushrooms and crab cakes three minutes into the welcome and mingle portion of the banquet. The coffee pot and condiments were ready all through the three hour event. The buffet line was opened and the food was warm (could have been hotter), but all tasty. I suggest that the gravy pot be reposition because it was hard to get too with being squeezed in between the two serving bins. Not sure why at some point that one of the staff members moved into the line to serve out the chicken fillets only. That was a little odd. The cake was expertly platted and served at the right moment. Tables cleared and waters refreshed adequately. Parking was street only but had nearby options so it all worked out well. The Audio/ Visual equipment was above average and worked without any issues. The entrance way on the front corner of the cafe would benefit with a cautionary led light or tape on the entry's one step as it blends into the approach and can represent a trip hazard, but we had no issues during our event. The bathrooms are eclectic, in character and clean. This organization did a fine job for our special event and we are very glad to have selected High Street Catering and Cafe. Hope this helps. - Pastor Mike

I had heard of them before because a friend used them for their wedding, and since I plan events for a living, I've worked with a lot of caterers. For my own event though, price mattered a lot, but I still wanted really good food. After reaching out to a bunch of places, I went with Havana because I had tried their food before and their pricing was very reasonable. We ordered full trays of adobo chicken, lechon roasted pork, crispy tofu, paella, sofrito rice, black beans, corn, poblano mac and cheese, and plantains. I did bring in one dish from another restaurant, Jamaican oxtail, just because I know my guests are big foodies. The biggest hits from Havana were definitely the poblano mac and cheese, lechon, and the paella. Honestly, the mac and cheese was the standout. Everyone kept going back for it and I wish I had ordered an extra tray. What really stood out to me though was the delivery experience. The driver called me ahead of time, brought everything in, and set it all up. He opened the trays with gloves, added sauces, arranged everything nicely, and even put out utensils and labels. I've had plenty of catering deliveries before and this was easily one of the best. He was just genuinely kind and went above and beyond, and it made a big difference. Overall, everything went smoothly, the food was great, and I would definitely order from them again.
