Delicious food, excellent service
by msnicole at Citysearch
I really love this little spot in Alameda. they have great tasting mediterranean food and very reasonably priced. You get a choice of soup or salad with your entree! Although the menu doesn't change very often all the entrees are good. Try the paella and definitely eat the homemade bread they serve before dinner.
- Pros: Delicious food, value
- Cons: Small restaurant, can get loud

Overrated

The ambience of the restaurant was very nice but unfortunately the food was not very good. It was truly disappointing considering the good reviews we've heard. My paella was extremely SALTY. I had to force myself to eat half of it. My husband's pasta dish tasted more life a dessert due to the over sweetness. The smoked salmon carpiccio was sliced too thick to enjoy.
We're not going to be coming back.

Great Mediterranean Food
by jbabik at Citysearch
We had a delicious meal there - everything from appetizer to dessert was excellent. The price is pretty reasonable and the service is outstanding. We found the entrees to be a a little on the salty side, but I suppose that comes with the territory with a menu that hints of Greek, Turkish, Spanish, Italian, Lebanese influences. In a town that lacks in higher end dining options, Asena is a stand out.
