Restaurants near Bolinas

“From the time we sat down to the time we left... all the servers were very nice and attentive. The food was so flavorful. The calamari was small piece but it overfilled the plate. The fish and chip have some of the best seasons I ever had.Will definitely come back if I am in the area again.”

“Fresh ingredients. Friendly atmosphere. Staff/owner is spectacular. We were very happy with the quality of the food. Went twice during our weekend in Stinson Beach. Highly recommend.”

“We were super hungry after hiking to Alamere Falls and stopped here afterwards for dinner. We were pleasantly surprised how good the food was! The anchovy pizza was unique and delicious. The anchovies were integrated into the tomato sauce, which gave it a salty umaminess with bursts of flavors from the fried capers. The Meyer lemon zest on top was something I would not expect on a pizza but it tied it all together. One of the best pizzas I've had recently. The menu here is very small but that's better than trying to make too many items and not doing it well.”

“Had a dinner for a birthday celebration with family, sat “outside” in the Parklet (with heat lamps).Food:Crab cakes - great, loved the sauce.Bread order - tasty, olive oil was ??Ribeye- medium, cooked well.Porterhouse- rare, too much sauce used and didn’t love the grilled asparagus.Filet- medium, too well cooked for medium.Kale salad- way overdressed.Glass of Zin- perfect.Birthday cookie - lovely.Service was okay, fine. Struggled to take gift card as payment form.All in all, it was a good place for our small group to celebrate and we left pretty happy with it.”

“Good food but pricey and small portions. One of those places you go and then need to stop at in and out after. I've had larger servings of nigiri at other sushi ”

“Second time since 2021. While price has increased it still offers one of the best value in the area for tasting menu. Most of the courses are on point and creative. my favorite is the jidoji egg. The tortellini is a bit bland, but still good. I like that the atmosphere is intimate and unassuming.”

“This is a beautiful place to celebrate a birthday! The service was outstanding! Wonderful thoughtfully prepared and well seasoned options. Loved the smoky garbanzos on the Meze platter!”

“We had a fabulous dinner o a rainy Sunday evening. The Gnocchi were deliious, so light and fluffy that they melt in your mouth. The waitstaff was gracious and very attentive. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Marin.”

“Some of the best pastries I’ve had in my life — and I’ve had a lot! The chocolate croissant was so light and so flaky — unlike the too-heavy or -bready croissants you get most places. Chocolate chip cookies are the same deal — light, crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, SO tasty.”

“Stopped here on a bikepacking trip. Grateful to find some rare, gluten free naan! Extremely friendly staff and incredible food. One of the best!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free naan!”

“Everything about this place merits FIVE STARS ⭐️. It’s a uniquely DELICIOUS experience. Hector was very personable and fun - genuine positive energy, even gave me a sample to try before purchase (first time customer). The food is extremely fresh with an authentic signature taste. This little unassuming food joint is filled with big things: positive energy, exemplary customer service, easy parking, adequate portion size, the food is prepared with loving intention, and you can taste it!?”

“Lovely meal last night! Dishes were creative, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Wine list and guidance were terrific complements. Ambience was relaxing. Service was wonderfully personable and prompt. The only (good) problem - the diverse menu presented too many alluring choices for one dinner, so we will be back for sure. Thank you for a terrific dinner!”

“My friends really liked what they ordered: Cinnamon pancakes, pulled pork sandwich, mocha. I had ordered a Gluten free chicken sandwich which was really bad. The chicken was fine I guess, but the bread was very very soggy and just felt apart. The bread was very bad. My friend had also ordered the same sandwich without the gf option, his bread was fine but the sandwich wasn't anything special. Would not recommend the gf option!”

“We stopped here to get ice cream the other day, and we're very glad we did. The flavors were really excellent, especially the salted caramel, which I think may have only been a temporary flavor. (My girlfriend remarked that it was one of the best ice cream flavors she had ever had.) The prices were quite low, we thought, and the servings very large: A double in a waffle cup was definitely more ice cream than I needed, but I'm not complaining. There are some slight disadvantages of this shop. For example, they won't do normal cups for a single or double scoop, only for a pint or quart, and so you either have to get a waffle cup, which I don't really value, or a metal cup, which means you can't leave. Also, they don't have compostable spoons or anything like that, only offering metal ones, which again means if you're eating from a bowl and don't have your own spoon, you need to stay put. This wasn't the worst thing in the world, because the shop is on a nice town strip with some benches outside, but in a rush it is a bit less convenient than I would like. Also, the store doesn't offer samples, and so you don't really get to try your flavor in advance, but thankfully all the flavors we tried were pretty good. The storefront is also pretty small, and so I can imagine it getting quite busy if a bunch of people go at once, although that wasn't the case for us. All in all, this was a very good ice cream shop, and we definitely recommend it to other people. Try the salted caramel if you can!”

“Love this place! Pizza is delicious, its a fun casual atmosphere, and they have a great list of drinks on tap. They also have roadside service for weekend nights where it's maybe a little too busy to get a table. Fun place to catch a basketball game too!”

“I love the Pump Espresso Bar. Love it. In fact, if I was lucky enough to work from home, I would work from the Pump. The inside is super cute, and it is oddly calming as soon as you walk in. This is saying a lot as I am one of the most high strung, overly driven humans and calm is not in my vocabulary. Lots of great coffee options, and they are all so good! The barista that helped us last time was fantastic and I want to give her all the kudos. She let me taste test their pumpkin syrup and she mentioned that they make it in house. I ended up going with the cardamom latte which seems to be the only drink I get at the Pump Espresso Bar. I keep telling myself to branch out and try a different beverage.Lots of food options that look delicious. The Pump Espresso Bar is always busy and it is such a welcoming local business that I am more than happy to give my business to.”

“Huge shoutout to Tony for the A1 hospitality. My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this place while celebrating our anniversary and we hope to be back soon. Great selection of wines and beer on tap with lots of bottled options as well. Real cozy vibe at Internos and top notch service!”

“Absolutely some of the best food I’ve ever had! True california/mexican food. Very healthy, affordable, fresh ingredients, incredible recipes. I would eat here every week if I lived nearby. We had the salad, sweet potato quesadilla, cauliflower tacos, agua fresca and flan. There was homemade hot sauce and homemade tortillas. Every dish was SO GOOD. I can’t wait to eat here again!”

“The quality has dramatically improved from the last time I were here. Clean, curated, essential— as opposed to what it was … a bit sloppy and predictably average.”

“Ounces is such a great addition to Terra Linda! The food and drink menus change often and are consistently phenomenal. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a cider, wine or a beer and I've never been disappointed! Trivia on Wednesdays is always fun, and the weekends have a live music.”

“The sweet and sour chicken was delicious and I love the rice. The staff are so friendly and the food is absolutely delicious. The service is fast and the staff are so friendly. The place is kid friendly and the soft serve was superb. I am definitely coming again.Kid-friendliness: They offer high chairs and drawing supplies”

“A wonderful experience at Kientz Hall! We hosted baby shower in the beautiful Atrium space this past weekend. Everything was perfect. Our mostly out of town guests were impressed with the beautiful space, the delicious food and drink, and the gracious service from the Kientz Hall team. My husband and I enjoyed showing off what our beloved San Anselmo has to offer!Thank you Linda, Samantha, Elaina, and Fernando for a wonderful afternoon with friends and family!”

“Adorable place very friendly servers a bit expensive for the full tea service but worth it for special occasions. You can also order a sandwich or something smaller. The scones are delicious.”

“Time and time again…. Over several years… we have always appreciated the amazing servers and incredible food. The specials are just that…. Special …. And should always be considered. This is our “go to” restaurant for a night out. Thank youKid-friendliness: People friendly….. which is even better than kid friendly”

“This place is the best and I hope they never close! I grew up in the area but now live out of the country and my family has relocated to the east bay but I still make the 60 min drive all the way to Jelly Donut whenever I come to visit them. The owners are super friendly and generous, often throwing in an extra freebie too. We've tried 4 other donut shops in the east bay and none are even close to as good as these. Long live Jelly Donut!”

“Call ahead for rezzies as this is a popular cozy little French wine bar/bistro! Always a joy to spend an evening at Amelie. Everyone is super-friendly, the food & wine, - divine!”

“All smiles at Barefoot Cafe in Fairfax. They surprised our party of 8 after an amazing hike through Cataract Falls. The service was excellent and the food was fresh and delivered fast to our table. We all were extremely satisfied. A few foodie critics at our table spoke not a word as they gobbled down their sandwiches. I especially appreciated that the staff was extremely accommodating and allowed me to create an order that was not on the menu and it was incredible. I had a grilled chicken and spinach with pesto and sun dried tomatoes on grilled sourdough bread. We will definitely visit again when in the area.”

“Let me start by saying - my friends and I LOVE lams - not only for the food, but the owners as well. She truly makes you feel appreciated and like family - she is always so sweet and so patient - one time we waited outside for our food, and she walked it out to us - she always goes above and beyond. Now for the food - CANT beat the lunch special AND the dumplings. We love the side soup it comes with - portions are big and always fulfilling. Please support this mom and pop. Way better than any franchised Chinese food. We love everything about this place and will always come back! Its to go only, can't eat in store. But we take these meals to the beach and they're just as good!”

“This may be the best pizza in all of Marin. Lo Coco's is a family-owned pizza place in Terra Linda that is super family-friendly and absolutely delicious. They do not do much other than pizza, but don't let that deter you. The pizza makes it all worth it! They do have a few salad options, and a delicious canneloni dish, but if you come here, you better get some pizza! Lots of great combinations-- you really can't go wrong. And they have really inexpensive bottles of wine, too.”

“Amazingly beautiful cupcakes! Would recommend them for any occasion. Unbelievable compliments from recipient. Apparently even more beautiful than pictured. Marin is lucky to have them - wish they would open a branch in Los Angeles!”
