alaMar Kitchen & Bar is the hottest addition to Uptown Oakland's thriving restaurant scene. The New American seafood restaurant is the brainchild of New York City transplant, Executive Chef Nelson German, who has worked under the likes of internationally acclaimed Chef Yuji Wakiya. The menu boasts signature dishes such as the peel 'n' eat shrimp drowned in mouth watering romesco sauce accompanied by fresh grilled Firebrand bread. Within its first year, alaMar received the recognition of a 2015 Michelin Recommended Rating, bringing Nelson a step closer to his dream of becoming a Micheline Star Chef one day. Our ever evolving menu, reflecting locally-sourced and sustainable ingredients, is made to share over conversation and laughter with friends. Indulge in our bar featuring an exquisite selection of local wines, as well as innovative beer cocktails, hand crafted mixed drinks and house made sodas.
