Steve Ionescu What a wonderful spot in San Rafael. The food was absolutely fantastic. I had the seafood plate and it was incredible. The mozzarella fritta was crispy. Paired with two different sauces. The cheese ravioli with carbonara sauce and meatballs was a hit. Took some leftovers for lunch. If you get a chance to stop in. Make yourself at home and enjoy the wonderful flavors of Italy. Service was on point. Didn’t disappoint.

Baxley Emily (Wendland) This place is AMAZING! The food was absolutely delicious- I had salmon with mango salsa (I think called Salmon Marin). The food came out so fast and the staff was so kind and helpful. The atmosphere of this cafe feels like sitting on a friend’s porch. Very lovely and cozy. Definitely would recommend coming here.

Wendy Pierson Such a great place! I was really craving clam chowder and didn’t want to drive across the bridge to San Francisco, so I found this on Google with good reviews. It was a hidden gem, everything we ordered was delicious. The bruschetta, the clam chowder, the chicken Parmesan and the fettuccine bolognese were fantastic, our server was so friendly and fun! I definitely recommend, don’t judge a book by its cover, we will be back.

LY A canal staple. Never had a bad meal here. Staff was attentive and always so friendly. Try the breakfast burrito and sandwich on croissant (+$1.75) w/ their perfect crispy fries

_anj _n Great comfort food..plaintains are the hero here..the green plaintain dish mofongo had such a pleasant garlic punch...and the maduros as usual are always good..the chicken salad was fresh.

Gordon M. Visited on a random Wednesday morning for breakfast and took a seat on one of the two seat tables against the wall. A few other patrons sat along the counter eating and drinking coffee. The place was relaxed, dim, and lovely. The server was perfectly nice and I already had my order decided so in a flash I had a perfect iced tea and my ticket was in a ticket for a corned beef hash combo. The plate was delicious with big shreds of corned beef, properly cooked potatoes and onions, and the entire eggs Benedict alongside. On the Benedict the yolk was runny and every part of the dish was hot, seasoned, and hearty. The price was totally fair for what I got, walking out paying something like 25 bucks total and Id gladly return. Go here to fill up on classics a cut above.

Douglas Bawden A great, authentic pub where you can get a black and tan to go with your fish and chips.

Yuni Bailie Great bar, food was delicious. Food took a little longer then expected but it was worth the wait. Fish tacos were amazing!!

KC Chen Nice restaurant and recommended! Staff will serve a basket of breads and you can order meatballs to eat together. Pizza and pasta are also recommended. Overall experience - food is great, portion is large enough and service is good as well! The price is reasonable.

Liann Amagan I was a little worried about parking but I found street parking a parking garage not too far. Located in a little plaza, you have both indoor and outdoor seating to choose from! I asked what bowl was the most popular and they said its the Thai Curry and I added chicken. The quality and vegetables were so fresh, the curry was good and I devoured my bowl! My friend for the rancheros bowl and she said it reminded her of a taco but the salsa was so good, we devoured out bowls so quickly and they made the so quickly and fresh. I got their citrus green tea and my friend got a probiotic soda which was also Yummy. Its nice to see a vegan and gluten free place to pick up food. Cant wait to try more on their menu!

janet benjamin Le Chalet Basque is one of our favorite venues in Marin County. We have been dining there for many years. The staff is warm and friendly and the food is always delicious.....the potions are generous. It is a nice find, tucked away from the busy streets. The restaurant location makes you feel you are out in the country. Its European charm is one of a kind in Marin County. Janet Benjamin

Richard Berkson Excellent service, friendly and professional. Comfortable and well lit without a lot of loud music. Little gem salad was great, with real anchovies. We had the fungo (mushroom) pizza plus salami - the dough was fresh, chewy and delicious (goat cheese) and the sauce had a little hot spice. Couldn’t help ordering the chocolate cake since all the other food was good. We weren’t disappointed. A glass of Chianti was also excellent.

Chetan Pangam One the good Indian restaurants I have been so far. The food was very flavorful. The mutton soup and biryani were great. The staff is welcoming and service was good. I like the setup and interior as well. Difficult to find parking.
