Dominican & Caribbean fusion with bold flavors, seafood boils
"A Dominican restaurant led by chef Nelson German that is part of the Oakland Restaurant Collective and will participate in the collective’s month-long Summer Affair in June, which highlights roughly 30 member restaurants with special, restaurant-week-style menus and events." - Paolo Bicchieri
"The seafood restaurant in Oakland is offering a crab boil meal kit for the holidays. It’s $60, serves two, and comes with a whole Alaskan snow crab (with corn, potatoes, and sausage for the boil), salad, garlic udon noodles, and sourdough bread. Order here for delivery now until Nov. 23rd." - julia chen 1
"Chef Nelson German’s AlaMar Dominican Kitchen is probably the best place in town for clacking through braised oxtail with a cocktail to wash it down, maybe the mamajuana or a morir soñando, an orange juice and milk drink originating in the Dominican Republic. German’s commitment to Oakland can’t be overstated: This is a talent putting respect on the Bay’s name with each dish." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Alamar has created a “Restaurant Workers Relief Program” and will be providing free meals (curbside pick-up) to industry members in need from Wednesday to Sunday, 4-6pm. 250-300 meals will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis (those looking to receive a meal must show identifying paperwork to prove recent employment at a restaurant). If you’d like to donate to the initiative, send a message on their Instagram." - team infatuation
"I note that Oakland's AlaMar Dominican Kitchen is hosting two special dinners this week: on September 25 a collaboration with natural wine and cider company Mad Marvlus featuring a menu of local oysters, habichuela and plantain hand pies, saltfish tomato salad, braised Angus oxtail, and dark chocolate flan with coordinated drink pairings (tickets $97.97); and on September 27 a four-course dinner with vegan Singaporean Italian favorite Lion Dance Cafe complemented by a specialty cocktail (tickets $149.60)." - Justine Jones
