Locals love this Alameda alehouse for its tasty twists on traditional German fare.

The Scene
Most evenings, this quiet Alameda hofbrau is packed with small groups of friends and families. Stark but spacious rooms are warmed by blond-wood floors and soft lighting. Seating is plentiful, and several long tables encourage family-style dining between strangers who don't mind mingling over a hearty meal. A casual, friendly waitstaff is happy to make recommendations.

The Food
The kitchen serves flavorful, less-filling updates on traditional German dishes. Tangy cucumber and sweet red-beet salads are light alternatives to heavier starters, such as bread dumplings in mushroom sauce. For a traditional dish, try tender, slow-cooked sauerbraten, which is nicely balanced with fruity cranberry relish and light, eggy spaetzle. Bacon-wrapped meat loaf dressed in savory onion sauce is a hearty entree, but for an inventive spin on time-honored favorites, try vegetarian strudel stuffed with red peppers, spinach and goat cheese. For dessert, go for tart berry compote.
