“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.“

“This will forever be one of the places we miss most after moving away from San Anselmo/Fairfax. Whether we were finishing a long hike on Mt Tam, a short dog walk, or just need a pint to take the edge off, this was one of our go to spots. We spent countless hours here and think of it often. It's exactly the type of watering hole everyone needs - no pretentiousness, just a nice cold beer, a brat, and a fun crowd. If you haven't checked out Gestalt Haus, you're missing out.“

Peri's Tavern Bar • $
29 Broadway, Fairfax

“This is a great place to drink, hang, and see music. This is only one issue with this place. The band stage is right next to the entrance and narrowest point, with only about 8-10 feet between it and the bar. As a selling point to get people it, this issue makes the place look crowded and happening, but it can make for a too packed area near the band and bar. I wish they could push back the wall and take away some of the outside area so there was more room between the bar and the band, but I'm a dance/music guy. Otherwise a great local place. poolroom and outside areas to hang. Enjoy the Fairfax.“

Nave's Bar & Grill Bar • $$
20 Bolinas Rd, Fairfax

“Exceptional service! We came for the place next door but opted for this place instead. What a good choice we made and what a special place this is. The bartender CANDICE was amazing! She was so friendly, professional, and looked right at me. I was a human to her and not a dollar sign or a consumer- she is the customer ideal.She seemed to know most of the people that came in and left by name. It was a rare treat to see that level of community these days.The picture with all the dollar bills on the ceiling is this fun game where you throw a bill, a tack and 2 quarters up and the quarters push the tack into the ceiling! How fun! A few times a year they’ll pull it all down and do something special with the money. For instance, earlier this year one of the regulars son had a medical emergency and that’s what all the money went towards. I love how true to the heart of the community a place like this is.Ok, more! Yes, there’s more. So this place was a grocery store during the prohibition and you can ask Candice all about that and the underground tunnels and fun rare things that only a local will tell you about around the area. This place has been here since the 1930’s!Cheers to them, my new favorite place whenever I’m in town. I look forward to my next visit.“

They are fast and the service is (only) the best service you have ever experienced. That’s all. Just that.Do yourself a favor, and go here and treat yourself. The prices are very reasonable but make sure you are kind to the staff and tip generously and they will make your night really magical and special. Thanks guys. I love your love, even though Valentine’s Day is not my favorite day to go to dinner. At least when I have to go there alone. ?❤️?

Right when you walk in this place you feel like you're back in the prime time. Less than five minutes off the 101, some say it's off the beaten path, but this place is right in my backyard and it truly makes you feel right at home. Cordon Bleu, lamb chops, I just don't know what kind of night it's going to be... the burger it is!“

The frosting was light and creamy, adding a perfect touch of sweetness. It was evident that great care was taken in crafting this cake, and it surpassed all my expectations. I highly recommend this chocolate cake to anyone in search of a decadent and satisfying dessert ❤️“

“Outstanding food, authentically Italian, incredibly fresh ingredients. My little gems salad with anchovy was one of the very best salads I’ve had. All our dishes were excellent. Portions were large, flavors popped and presentation was attractive. Only negative was that the server seemed to have too many tables, as we had a very long wait between menu presentation and ordering. Overall, this was as good as expected, and I definitely recommend. Poggio has been a top restaurant for many years, and the praise seems deserved.“

Pint Size Lounge Bar • $$

“Fun place, cool atmosphere, definitely worth checking out. This is an odd place because you will miss it if you aren't really searching for it. I've driven by it so many times and never even knew it was there. The bartender was super cool and very accommodating . Pint Size Lounge is not a full bar which we didn't realize until we tried ordering cocktails. That was our mistake and does not reflect on the business establishment. My friends and I stopped by after work and ended up enjoying our drinks outside because it was pretty loud inside. This was a great choice because we could people watch and check out all the activity on 4th Street while carrying on conversations and enjoying our cocktails. If you are in the area and want to check out something different, I would recommend checking out Pint Size Lounge.“
