“Amazing!!! So great and super happy that this business is here. Very high quality ingredients and made with so much care :) Really happy to learn about this restaurant/cafe!!!!! Also an awesome menu and really creative. I hope they get a chance to open more locations, too! Yay!!”
“I have been wanting to try Half Day Cafe for quite some time. I had brunch around the Holiday's with a dear friend. The food was delicious. I had an oat milk latte and the breakfast panini with hash browns. The sandwich has eggs, spinach, ham and cheese. The ingredients are simple, but the flavor combination was excellent. Plus I love panini sandwiches. One thing I want to mention is it is extremely loud when it's busy. I came on a Sunday and it was a full house. I could barely hear my friend. She also has hearing issues so it was difficult to hear each other. Besides parking on the street there is a parking lot behind the restaurant. The entrance is a little confusing since it's in the back.”
“Great fresh seafood cooked perfectly. Extensive menu with lots of food and drink options. Service was amazing and the atmosphere was relaxed. Felt safe walking from our hotel at night. Looked like parking and accessibility were fine.”
“I could go on and on about this spot. It was fantastic. All around wonderful except there is only 1 bathroom and when it's busy...well don't wait til the last minute to pee or there may be a line??♀️ cannot wait to go back!!!Vegetarian options: Everything we ordered was very well balanced. Proportions we're good for 2 to share depending on how hungry you are I guess, we shared 4 dishes and we're stoked with everything”
“Atmosphere: Solid and funBar Service: Kind, interesting, professionalsDrinks: Costly (but craft cocktails can be, so expected), my drink was cloyingly sweet, my friend's drink was more of a savory thing, and one of the rum drinks was great.UPDATE:Within 1 hour the owner of the bar contacted me about the experience with the drink I had ordered. He offered an apology, which I appreciated but was unnecessary, as I should have been better about saying something during my visit, rather than in a public review. This was customer service at its best, and that I appreciate. Upon reflection my drink may have just been a bartender error, and everybody has an off day.As the atmosphere and employees are amazing, and the vibe a solid 100, and now management reacting in a meaningful way to a petty complaint, I am boosting to 5 stars across the board.Go see for yourself what caring about your customers, and their experience is all about. Cheers!”
“We've been going to Madcap for the past several years but realized we hadn't been since the pandemic and decided to celebrate an anniversary there recently. Although the prices are much higher than when we first had their prix fixe menu, the quality was pretty much the same, if not better. There were a few dishes that were absolute standouts in my mind - perfectly balanced flavor combinations, beautiful plating... the kind of dishes you wouldn't mind having seconds (or thirds) of :) 1. Dry-aged Flannery ribeye - beautiful crust, but still perfectly medium rare - I could go back tomorrow just to have this again. 2. Ora king salmon - when I saw it came with a red wine reduction, I was a bit skeptical of whether the delicate salmon could stand up to the red wine sauce, but I was so wrong about this. Perfectly executed, the salmon had the lightest, crispiest crust, while still being warm in the center and super delicate. 3. Stonington sea scallop - I'm a sucker for sea scallops and this was a delicious prep. The scallop had a beautiful crust, but since they were on the smaller side, I'd say they were a tad bit overcooked based on my own personal preference. Overall, the composition of flavors in this dish was spectacular and would've topped my list of the dishes had the scallop been a bit more tender. 4. Chicken tortelloni - rich creamy sauce, black truffles, and morels - what's not to like? If you're drinking red Burgundy for dinner, this dish is absolutely made for Pinot (IMO). While all of the dishes were good, some felt less polished or we just weren't as big of a fan of the flavor combinations/textures. Among them were the shrimp hasami (mine wasn't particularly crispy and with a rich satay sauce, it just felt like it needed some sort of acid component to cut through it all) and sadly the abalone/kaluga caviar supplement ($35) - impressive ingredients on their own, but combined in a way that, while perhaps visually appealing, was somewhat difficult to eat and I didn't find that the flavors were as cohesive as other dishes. That being said, what I like about Madcap is that they continue to innovate and experiment. Some of those dishes may not be my personal favorites, but others may love them, and it's great to know that no matter how often I come back, I'll always experience something new. The service is exceptional, but without being too stuffy and formal. Whether you're dining alone, as a couple, or as a group of friends, you can relax, enjoy the delicious food, and have a great time without feeling like you need to sit up straight and whisper to each other :) Lastly, they have a phenomenal wine list, especially bottles from Burgundy. The prices are reasonable (I looked a several bottles and they were about 75-100% above retail, e.g., $50 retail bottle might sell for $100 on their list), especially for a Michelin-starred restaurant. They also offer a beverage pairing ($100), which was mostly wine but also included some sake. The corkage fee is $50 (quite steep, IMHO) per 750ml bottle with a limit of two bottles per table.”
“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 ”
“I crave the gnocchi here and I don't even like gnocchi. My kids were mad when they had their fries and said now all other fries are ruined for them. Their Crudo is proportion is tiny but delicious. Had the most Marin kind of pizza - the kale with roasted garlic and it was delish. I could go on...but I need a nap now...”
“Well, I discovered this small place in the heart of San Rafael and pffff I fell in love with the cuisine that led me to remember my mother's food in my beautiful Mexico. I'm sure I'll come back to try more of the menu but today I tried some carnitas and asada picaditas and their super tasty horchata water, I fell in love with this little place”
“A family favorite since the week it opened. Everyone finds just what they want regardless if dietary restrictions. Love the vibe whether dining in or carrying out.Kid-friendliness: Families enjoy the casual setting.Wheelchair accessibility: No steps to enter.”
“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!”
“Blankita is so kind and welcoming! Best pupusas I have had! No other place in Bay Area has compared to quality here! I’m vegetarian but selection of food for me did not disappoint!”
“My family and I visited the Bump Bar this week for a private experience. What we had was incredible. Deborah, John, and Ellen were amazing hosts. They gave us an education, and presented us with some incredible memories that I won't forget. Thank you so much for a beautiful Tuesday afternoon.”
“This place is truly a diamond that doesn't get enough attention! We have been coming to World Green Acai since they have opened 4 years ago. Authentic Acai is hard to find and World Green does not disappoint!This is not a fast food restaurant. The care and effort to make high quality authentic Brazilian food is the ethos of the owners. Have patience and you will be rewarded with a delicious unique and authentic Brazilian food experience.It's true that folks travel from all over the Bay Area just to experience the food and environment of World Green Acai.”
“Marcelo was an amazing server and staff, as well as all the other staffs that brought out meat, refilled our drinks, and clear our table. We were here to celebrate our anniversary and wouldn't have done it at a better spot than this. The meat had a great selection to choose from.”
“Absolutely the best fried calamari in Marin! The prices are a bit high for entrees as they don't include any veggies with them and to have a more balanced meal you are forced to order them separately.”
“Went on a Monday at 5:30. Walked right in. Such a cute restaurant! We got a white bottle of wine, should have been put on ice but we asked and they did. Server was polite and food was, how would I say, delicate. Clam chowder was amazing, the crab and shrimp cakes were good as well with the sauce. I got the scallops, they were good but not a ton of flavor, but it was tasty and what I expected, upscale and cooked well, flavored mixed well. Beautiful spot, I think there was a front area I didn't get to see but saw people going back there that maybe had a better view. Beautiful little place, great date restaurant.”
“We worked with Alison to design our perfect wedding cake, and we were blown away with the results. She offered a take-home tasting box which worked great fir my wife and I's busy schedules. There was great collaboration in the design and the cake was delivered directly to our reception venue right on time! Highly recommend for wedding or any other cakes!”
“Himalayan Kitchen in San Rafael is the BEST!We ordered our food to go for a staff event. Everyone, even our pickiest eaters, enjoyed the selections.All the food is fragrant, bursting with flavor, and not oily. The saag paneer cubes are tastier and more flavorful than any we've had before, as is the spinach in that dish!It's traditional, yet lighter Indian style, and, therefore, different in a significant way! The butter chicken was so delicious. We ordered mild for those who can't handle the heat, but the spices were still abundant. Everything was flavorful and created with much care and love.The chow mein was a BIG hit, too! There were rave reviews all around!Our group didn't dine in the restaurant, but I noticed cheery, artful lighting and cleanly furnished spaces while visiting for our order. I also saw a quiet little nook with a cluster of small tables behind the front desk wall, which looked cozy and inviting!This restaurant is a stellar place with caring staff and delicious food!Five STARS +++'s for Himalayan Kitchen!Vegetarian options: Many vegetarian choices, all superb!”
“One of San Francisco’s finest vistas can be experienced at this place. Indulge in exquisite cuisine, with a particular highlight being the delectable oysters. It's an absolute must-visit destination.”
“There is no place like Fukusuke! I have followed them from Sausalito to their Larkspur location. I have been going to Fukusuke since the early 90’s. Warren and Mama San are so kind and attentive. This is a family run restaurant and they treat their customers like family ! Great food, experience and people.”
“Great flavor crust, amazing vegan pizzas! As a big guy, I easily eat a whole pizza here, generally we order an extra so we get to try the different combinations. The puttanesca pizza is the best? Try them all!!!”
“When Dungeness Crab is in season head to Salito's, you won't be disappointed. The servers are friendly, imagine working with that view. What could be better than a view of the Bay from the large deck enjoying a Blood Orange Margarita and sweet Dungeness Crab, a San Francisco delicacy.”
“Sausalito has never disappointed with the variety of coffee shops. Firehouse is no exception. I had the Sumatra Pour Over and cute little macaron and they were nice! Staff is great as well :)”
“I live in Sausalito incase anyone thinks I’m a regular and I’m trying to plug a friend’s place or whatever. This is the best breakfast in Marin. Food is so fresh and the staff are exceptional. I work in the service industry and don’t usually leave reviews. Really evident team culture and refreshing attitudes all round. Well done to all!”
“Frankie and Jo’s is my favorite ice cream place is the nation. I have to get it every time I’m in Seattle. And this location is no different! I love the unique flavors.”
“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.”
“(March 2024) First time trying the Caprice. Food was good, views of Golden Gate Bridge were fantastic! I wouldn't go there just for the food. Pretty pricey. You're not paying for the quality of the meal, your paying for the ambience and the views.”
“Efficient reservation and host check in. Nice ambiance. It gets busy. Impressive menu selection, both hot and cold. They have a wide selection of sushi to choose from outside your standard fare. Surprisingly I enjoyed the cauliflower as one of the top bites. Incredibly seasoned. The sea bass and uni were also very nice. I enjoyed trying a selection of fish. Servers were efficient and friendly enough. I'd definitely recommend and return.”
“I've enjoyed a few meals here and last time sat at the bar. Bartenders were both great and helpful. Try the mushrooms if they are on the menu, they are ridiculously good!”
