50 Best American Restaurants near Corte Madera

“The atmosphere is lovely and service is great but food quality is sub par. Our group ordered different meat plates and none of our orders were cooked correctly; some were undercooked and some were overcooked. The taste of the food reflected the lack of consistency as well; seasoning and meat quality didn’t impress us and we are not picky eaters. Overall I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant if food quality is your main priority but if you want to enjoy your dinner in a place with good service and atmosphere, it’s a great choice.“

“We had brunch here on Saturday. The waffles are absolutely delicious! The eggs benedict was fantastic too. I should have taken pictures. I have been coming to this Nordstrom since it was built in the 80's. I have never eaten here. This place is awesome and I will be back as the menu looks fantastic.“

“The Cheesecake Factory Thank you for supporting the Lucky Run this past Sunday to benefit the Novato High School Safe & Sober Grad Night. We appreciate you! Safe and Sober Grad of Novato“

“We walked in on NYE without a reservation and they graciously found us a spot in the bar area. Service was on point and staff were festively dressed! I love a crafty cocktail but most are too sweet. I had the Smokey mezcal cocktail 🍹. Perfection. Appetizers were delish as well. Perfect way to start our NYE celebrations.“

“Great food and ambience here!“

“Great breakfast and fast service Thank you ♥️♥️“

“What an amazing culinary experience! We had a three course meal. The waiter was very helpful, friendly and had great recommendations! I highly recommend this place if you're in San Francisco!“

“My friend, Mike, who lives nearby with his wife, raved about it so much that my BF and I decided to come after a short trip to Marin. It was everything that he described and more. It was fantastic! Excellent food and atmosphere. Will definitely add to my list of favorites and will recommend to my Palo Alto friends!“

“Amazing dining experience. Worth the price“

“Really nice place. Highly recommended“

“Affordable price, great taste“

“Needed a splurge by myself. Sat at the bar and ordered off the full menu. Bartenders were knowledgeable and friendly. Went with their wine suggestions since I was drinking by the glass, and both wines were delicious and well suited to the food.

The food, by the way, was excellent. Had the buckwheat tartine, lots of interesting flavors! The two-way duck was tasty in two preparations, one more tender and the other a bit more spiced.“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“Had afternoon tea here twice; the first time for 2 persons, the second time for 3. Tea selection and the atmosphere was outstanding, service was ok.
During my first visit, the food for 2 was nicely presented on a tiered platter, beautiful and appetizing.
However on my second visit, I was very disappointed with the food presentation; a 2-person tiered platter was used to hold food for a party of 3. As a result, the food was literally piled on to the platter on each tier. This must be a presentation mistake which compromised our dining experience. The visual appeal was lost and somehow the food did not taste as good as the first time…😟“

“I was celebrating my 75th birthday on June 23rd 2026 had the privilege of eating your food delicious we ordered chicken yams greens mac and cheese and he had oxtails falling off the bone remind me at home me and my five year old Grand and Grandpa was just delighted thank you for sharing I do hope that I pray that I'll be able to return at some point to San Francisco“

“Last Saturday we ordered a lot of food from the melt. The whole crew was working overtime and we all ordered multiple items and the crew absolutely killed it. Lady working the cashier was absolutely amazing. Sweetest lady ever. The cooks were amazing and they have a very good crew working. The only names I received were Mar, Janeka, Dom and Tone but everyone was incredible and we definitely will be back.“

“Another brilliant visit to Sorrel and Alex Hong continues to reign as my current favorite Chef! 🤘🏼If you haven’t been to Sorrel, go. Total genius.“

“Good service and good food😋“

“Fantastic food - reasonably priced and great service! Tasha was amazing!“

“Food was good! Atmosphere was fun!“

“I ordered a sandwich with two sides of gravy through Uber Eats for pickup. When I arrived, the chefs said my order had already been taken and refused to remake it, even though I showed my receipt. The manager came out and was very rude, despite me explaining I’m a regular customer who even picked up my annual Thanksgiving meal the day before. After accusing me of “screaming” (though I was speaking calmly over the loud music), they finally remade the order but shoved it at me and pushed me out. I live a block away and may give them another chance, but beware online pickup orders can get mishandled here.“

“Had San Francisco Cioppino (Mussels. Clams, Crab, Cod, Prawns, Scallops and Garlic Bread that was the bomb). Only giving 2 thumbs up as I only have 2. Great food, great service!“

“Such fresh good food. I made my own scramble it was beyond delicious!!!“

“Good food, excellent service“

“A great burger. From my first year in the bay area there was something special about Nation's Giant Burgers, scattered around the East Bay. A juicy patty, cheese, with the fixings a nice clump of lettuce, onions and tomato, thick slab of cheese and pickles. Great thick fries, and pies.. seriously the best pie I ever had was at a Nation's. Their Strawberry Tart only offered when in season, is just large strawberries, a tasty almost shortbread crust and whipped cream. The one I had in 2001, days after 9/11, the strawberries were bursting with juice, almost like a jam, the skin barely holding, and. not too sweet, not too tart... In Plant City, Florida they have amazing strawberries.. previously the best I had ever tasted, but these, from a California Farm is what they said, are always going to be the best. �Other than their Strawberry Tart, I like their Banana Split, Banana Cream, Chocolate Cream, Pecan, Blueberry... well.. all of them. Never a bad choice. How I like my burger. Cheese, no dressing, grilled onions, light lettuce. Then I get hash browns and ham on the side (sometimes one egg also) and add them to the burger. Anyway. yes. 👍 more, again.“

“I must say i had high hopes but the meal was tasteless but my friends had too much salt. I wanted to like it. Wont return, wont recommend. ☹“

“7 Adams is a fantastic spot for an anniversaryget away splurge. The ambiance is elegant yet relaxed, and the staff are incredibly attentive. Every plate arrives with an exquisite presentation that makes you feel like you’re at a Michelin star restaurant. The seasonal tasting menu is perfectly curated and the flavors are balanced. I’d say this is one of the best restaurants in San Francisco for fine dining. Highly recommend for a special occasion.“

“Never disappointed when you go to Heritage… Tonight I tried the New York steak absolutely delicious… Carrot soup absolutely delicious… And of course too and with chocolate chip cookies warm from the oven and coffewith a dollop of Cardamom whipping cream …Yum! Oh and great Manhattans with Basil Hayden bourbon 🥂🎄🙏🏼❤️😘“

“An amazing restaurant with an interesting history and spectacular view of the Bay. Great service and food. And the Caprice is fully wheelchair accessible. Thanks for a great dining experience!“

“The Food that i ordered was fantastic specially the seafood pasta in tomato sauce , rich in taste, large serving.

Ambiance was pleasant. I do recommend this place, i enjoyed my visit.“

“I was invited to Waterbar for a business dinner and was excited to finally visit a restaurant that had been on my list for quite some time. Our group was seated in a private dining room upstairs with access to an outdoor balcony overlooking the Bay.

San Francisco weather in June can be unpredictable, but we lucked out with a beautiful evening. The balcony, complete with its own bar, was the perfect spot for networking and conversation before dinner. The private dining room comfortably accommodated our group of about 30 people without ever feeling crowded.

Dinner was served as a prix fixe menu, which made the evening easy since no one had to spend time deciding what to order. Every course I tried was outstanding and exceeded my expectations. The food was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and thoughtfully presented.

Despite the size of our group, the service was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and kept everything running smoothly throughout the evening.

The restaurant itself is gorgeous, especially the main dining level with its impressive floor-to-ceiling fish tanks that add to the waterfront ambiance. Between the beautiful setting, excellent food, and outstanding service, Waterbar lived up to the hype. I'll definitely be back!“

“When I always visit San Fran I always go to the joinery for lunch or a beverage Food is always fab and the drinks are nicely chilled an crisp 👍 Staff are always lovely and friendly and the place has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and a sun trap Thank you from a international frequent traveller 👍👍“

“We had our lunch in red rooster brick oven and it was the best atmosphere that’s family friendly, the food was delicious and the owners were very nice. We will be visiting again and we highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Excellent view and good food, but the service is really slipping, and the portions were disappointingly meager.
Had the biscuits and gravy, which I'm used to being smothered in sausage gravy, but instead was just a dab, so wish I'd sent it back for more rather than eat dry biscuits.

The crab sandwich was probably a poor choice, but the remoulade sauce made it taste right. Next time I'll just get pancakes or waffles instead.

Love the view of the Embarcadero and the Bay Bridge and the Giants decorations, but it's gone downhill the past 3 weeks just like the baseball team.“

“Been to Hotel Mac many many times and never ever been disappointed. The menu often varies with excellence across the board. Just celebrated my 70th birthday there. Wonderful evening in a great atmosphere.“

“Ok Sweet Maple hit THE spot! Yum on yum. I usually don’t order sandwiches at restaurants. However, this breakfast sandwich was delicious. The bread was nice and soft. The bacon was nice and crisp. The fried French toast was another level when I come back. I will definitely be getting that. I got the coconut latte it was pretty good overall five stars.“

“I have been going to The Lighthouse for many years, whenever I am in The San Francisco Area :) Absolutely fabulous breakfast with a wonderful staff ! Can't wait to be there again :)“

“I won’t say it’s hard to find a fulfilling breakfast place in SF as there’s thousands of choices, but hopefully this review gives you peace of mind. I promise you won’t be disappointed. It’s pricey, it’s San Francisco, but it’s GOOD! With incredible breakfast choices like thick cut brioche French toast served with cherry butter, to thick breakfast burritos with home made spicy sauce. With almost 10M views I promise reviews won’t let you down.“
