“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.“
“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.“
“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.“
“We got the first table as you walk in the place and felt cozy and comfortable. The service was excellent and the food quite good. The chef's complimentary chocolate truffles for the restaurant's 10 year anniversary were excellent. We will certainly be back!Dietary restrictions: Our friend is gluten free and was happy with the available options.“
“Wish there was a 4.5 Star! Cuz it wasn't quite 5, but more than 4. Food was beautiful and well presented, atmosphere was classy..And service... I think was changing shifts so we got dropped a bit and waited around for quite a while to order.“
“This is the best restaurant in San Rafael and they have a lot of nice ones here but this place is perfection. Food is amazing. 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. ?❤️? Vegetarian options: Look at the menu.Parking: Parking is abundantKid-friendliness: They are friendly to kids“
“Never disappoints. Excellent food, drinks, service and views. They recently updated their menus and wow just wow. Great bar seating as well as table service. I typically go here every few weeks and love having it in town.Vegetarian options: There’s quite a few vegetarian and also vegan options. Not many but ample for me. I particularly like the veggie lentils dish which is basically a ridiculously tasty rice and lentils dish.“
“I LOVE Saylor's for yummy carnitas tacos, the perfectly made, thin chips and great salsa. The staff is all very nice. I think it's fun to sit in the tiny bar area, but the main restaurant is also nice when you want a calmer eating environment. Cheers!“
“What a great place for a weekend lunch! Stephanie(? I think is her name) was wonderful- so nice. The food? I'm coming back! Since stepping in, we had a craving for real corned beef. They delivered! Cool place. It was too early for me at least to go to the bar, but it looked fun.“
“We had a great time grabbing some drinks here before dinner. It started as a quiet bar experience, but then our bartender struck up a great conversation with us which really helped us feel more at home while we were so far away from home. I'd definitely go again!P.S. they don't serve food. Not sure if you can bring food in.“
“do you want to have a super Duper unbelievable delicious prime rib sandwich on a Friday afternoon come to peace 881 club or come Thursday night for the full primary dinner for like less than 30 bucks that's half the price that anywhere else you would go and it's delicious and the bartenders are awesome and on Friday they use the leftover prime to make the real thin slice prime rib sandwiches. They're like 17 bucks. They were double.“
“My husband and I reserved Gaspare’s side dining room for our wedding rehearsal dinner. Daniel, the owner, was so responsive and informative throughout the planning process. On the night of our event, the restaurant staff were so kind and attentive and made the night flow so smoothly, and the food was great. If you are looking for a restaurant in Marin to host a private event, I cannot recommend Gaspare’s enough!“
“Hands-down best burger in Marin. Cooked to perfection to your preference, Golden brown fries every time served with their staple House soup to dip them fries in... Come on man! 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!“
“Great music on a Wednesday night with a friendly crowd and Jared, the bar manager stayed on top of all of it all night. Will definitely go back on another Wednesday!Parking: there are dedicated spots in front and across the street with open street parking on both sides. Too easy.“
“I think it ahould deserve better than 4.2 stars. Service was quick and nice, portion was enormous and the meal was great! Nice hot sauce as well. You cannot expect better in a mall and the place was packed during lunch, which is always a good sign.“
“I recently had the pleasure of trying the chocolate cake, and it was a true delight. The cake itself was incredibly moist and had a deep, luscious chocolate flavor that was simply irresistible. 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 ❤️“
“We just checked out Julie’s Hummus Bar and Grill. The food was delicious. My very picky husband approved their beef/lamb shwarma! My little one finished all the dolmeh in their platter. Their salad, hummus and baba ganoush was sooo good. And honestly they have the BEST fluffiest, crunchy falafel. Yum all around. Highly recommend.“
“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.“
“Really welcoming atmosphere for our group as we were walking around Sausalito and looking for something approachable after a long walk across the bridge. Pool tables, juke box, long bar, cheap drinks. They had some special flavored tequilas they were making some nice on-the-fly cocktails with for some in our group, and we were really happy with them.“
“5 Stars for great, inexpensive drinks. No food served here unless you count popcorn as a food. Classic stop fore for 25 plus years. Friday's rock after 9. Not for everyone, fancy is NOT a word that can be applied to the Cabin. But fun and dive bar are perfect ways to describe it!“
“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.“
“Was here on Christmas Eve, and the food, service, and ambience couldn’t have been better. Had clay pot dishes, both beef and tofu, assorted nigiri, Dragon roll - all wonderfully fresh, edamame, a shrimp tempura roll, and sake. We we all delighted. Thanks for adding to a beautiful Christmas Eve!“
“Mike is cool, Aubrey is cool, Shani is great, Guy is my favorite, sorry ya'll. Love Monday night karaoke here, no B.S. feel safe and have a blast! Bring your own mirror if your a male, no mirror in bathroom :/ - Thank you to the owner too!“
“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.“
