Tapas Restaurants near Mill Valley, CA

“My husband, myself and some neighbors walked over last night and celebrated a birthday with some drinks. One employee didn't seem stoked that it was busy but our waitress Christina was absolutely wonderful. Attentive, friendly and made me want to go back just to hang out with her! If you like gin the Crushed Velvet cocktail hit the spot.“

“What a fun place. Quirky with the whole entrance and then a classy interior. Managed to get reservations for two on Saturday afternoon for 5:30pm the same day.

Overall, the vibe and quirkiness isn't what would draw me back a second time, but the food is absolutely top shelf. Huge fan of the grilled octopus, in particular. Perfectly cooked. The sangria wasn't bad. Pretty good but not special enough that it's a necessity if you're not in the mood. Next time we'll start exploring the wine list more. The food was just too good so we'll be back again soon for the food and a bottle of wine.“

“To say my dinner at State Bird was outstanding does not do the staff, the food, or the service proper justice.

I’m gluten intolerant (medical, not a dietary choice). Shawna, our server, and Hattie, the manager for the evening, not only ensured that the entire staff knew of the allergy, but went above and beyond to write out a menu for me, detailing what dishes could and could not be modified as well as what dishes were safe. As a first-time customer here, I could safely make informed decisions even with their dim-sum style of service. The impeccable attention to detail came from all staff members, and I was notified of possible modifications for every dish being brought around.

I felt so incredibly comfortable, accommodated for, and taken care of while navigating a serious allergy in this Michelin Star restaurant. Modifications can be a hassle and a half for the kitchen sometimes, especially with such a curated menu, and it felt like the most natural thing in the world here. Our service was smooth and easy, which was a breath of fresh air.

The food was spectacular: not only was there a wide variety of safe dishes to choose from, even the dishes that were modified were phenomenal, as if the lack of gluten was never a factor at all. At all. As in, seriously, GET the state bird with provisions and the whole shebang, because even when gluten-free the fried quail is astounding. The pork belly salad was brilliantly balanced, and the ice cream sandwich was an incredible end to our meal.

Cleanliness, attention to detail, friendly service, and seamless communication across the board were the cherry on top for this absolutely phenomenal meal. Thank you, State Bird Provisions, for the delicious experience. We’ll certainly be back for more.

“Both bartenders in Friday night were extremely excellent. Matt was great with patron interactions and I unfortunately forget the name of the other bartender on shift, but he made an excellent drink reccomendation that was an instant favourite.“

“I have been twice and so far everything has been delicious. I need to go back a few more times to try everything on the menu. Don't forget to save room for dessert. The cocktails are fantastic.“

“what a gem of a restaurant! everyone who works here seems happy, engaged and gives great service. the food is delicious and the owner obviously cares deeply about hospitality, quality and being part of this neighborhood fabric. we'll definitely return! must try: setas, artichoke blossom, tomato toast. we had about 5-6 tapas, all delicious and a great value.“

“Welcome to heaven on earth. SF local and either best resturant I've ever been at or tied for first with Han Il Kwan II. Ridiculous quality and exceptional taste. Highly reccomend.“

“From the velvet ropes to the entrance to the ironwork windows the space felt like a mini vacation from the ordinary. The tumeric latte was a stand-out. Salmon niçoise was delicious — unlike many the potatoes weren't an afterthought in the preparation. Quiche mind-blowingly tender. The staff (including the on-site owners) were so nice I almost felt bad this was only my first visit. This pescetarian could not have been happier with his Sunday brunch.“

“Great place to relax and enjoy great food and service in Haight- Ashbury! Very welcoming -“

“The food is artisan caliber, the atmosphere is welcoming and intimate, and our family GOTO!! ❤❤❤❤❤“

“Unpretentious place with friendly service!
This sandwich comes with an aioli sauce that is sensational. Spinach, cheese, turkey... One of the best I ate on the trip and it doesn't cost a kidney, like almost everything in San Francisco.
The latte with almond milk was delicious too!“

“Good food but not wow or particularly memorable. Very expensive for what it is ... shockingly expensive actually. Sausages were noting better than Little Smokies, skirt steak probably best skewer. Various chicken skewers average. Ramen pretty good. Tiny but charming interior. Fantastic service.“

“The small tapas were delicious, especially the tomato kimchi—it was light and refreshing, paired perfectly with the grapefruit. The uni scallop toast was flavorful, though I found the price a bit steep. The Galbi Ribeye with lettuce wraps was satisfying and filling, while the kimchi fried rice stood out as unique, with a nice touch of egg yolk and cheese on top. The presentation of all the dishes was thoughtful and well-executed. I'd gladly order everything again, except for the uni scallop toast, mostly due to its price.“

“Came for brunch and thought it was cute and tasty! We came here around opening time on a Saturday and there was no line and plenty of seating.

I don’t think this place will beat out a no frills place that just does brunch items well but for a fusion-y, themed brunch place I think it’s definitely one of the top ones in the city.

I got the sando Benedict and my husband got the rancheros. I definitely thought mine was the better of the two and he somewhat agreed.“

“It’s a great bar for your first date; but no one returns to it ; and therefore it’s not a neighborhood bar; but It’s exterior architecture - a transportation hub / station converted to a bar - is startlingly good; but the interior doesn’t create a sense of belonging.Stools are designed to traumatize your posterior; perhaps a short date is best ; the beer and snacks and the service are great but without the neighborly feeling , it’s just another brick in the wall;“

“Amazing. Even one of our waiter was amazing. They forgot my sardines and they gave me mussels. Both were AMAZING. Drinks were amazing AND the staff were amazing as well. I dont usually leave reviews unless it is worth my time. Definitely a place to go“

“Got lunch on a Saturday at this fusion brunch place near the boundary of Chinatown and Little Italy in SF. It was not crowded, which I appreciated. Was able to try the Boc Luc Lac, which was cubed beef tenderloin with sauce, and came with an egg, salad, and garlic bread, as well as the Fried Chicken and Pandan Waffles. The beef in the Boc Luc Lac was very soft and tender, with none of the toughness or rubberiness associated with beef. It was very tasty too, and the garlic bread and fried potatoes that came with it was very tasty. As for the Fried Chicken and Pandan Waffle, the waffle itself was surprisingly light and crispy, and the chicken was delicious, no complaints. Overall the food was very good and solid, and I'd like to go here again to try the other items. 4.5 out of 5.“

“Lovely atmosphere and service from the hostess to our servers. Menu is unique yet simple. Great for vegetarians looking for finer menu. Every bite was flavorful and delicious!“

“OPTIMAL! Following the other reviews we arrived at this small Japanese restaurant, almost invisible from the street. Excellent and well-groomed food. Very kind staff, very helpful both in advice and in customizing orders! A little dark but welcoming place!“

“A wonderful evening at Okoze with Jason, doing a vast taster session for us organised by some amazing friends.
Some of the freshest ingredients I’ve ever tasted!
From crab, to tuna, to prawn, to scallop, to wagyu, to pickled plum and a wild array in between this was a fantastic evening and wonderful meal. A special shout out to the prawn tempura we started with, so crunchy but so light! Plus the wagyu that melted like butter!
Highly recommend a visit to Okoze for truly beautiful and tasty food.“

“Best sushi in the Marina District!“

“Great food and service ! And nice location too“

“The food was delicious and the service very friendly. We ordered some noodles with chicken and a chicken curry with rice. They served us water throughout the meal without any charge and were always attentive. They made us feel at home.

Very economical price (Dinner for two people about $40 + tip)

Without a doubt, to repeat.“

“Food was great and the service was excellent! Highly recommended.“

“Thank you, Le Petit Paris 75, for welcoming the Richard Crook trio to your delightful club. Always a friendly atmosphere, amazing cocktails, and awesome music line ups!“

“Wonderful experience eating wonderful foods“

“Exquisite interior and views. Huge loungey chairs - I can spend every night here. :) Food options are not strong but they have the post room down stairs if you want a full meal. Service is excellent. Overall a very pleasant experience and will definitely come back.“

“Just had a great dinner at Whipper Snapper. The warm spinach salad is so delicious. Like lick the plate delicious. We also had the sliders, which were very tasty. Love the passion fruit mousse for dessert. And the Pilsner on tap is really really good. Will go back again soon. What a wonderful local gem. Let’s support them!“

“Overall it was normal food.
I had high expectations because of the good ratings, but it was a bit more disappointing than I expected. However, when I revisited it, it was different.
I think it’s worth looking forward to the different types of food~^^“

“The importance of an experienced and friendly chef should not be overlooked. Too many times I have found restaurants where the chef disregards the customer's opinion due to perceived lack of expertise in the culinary craft. That isn't the case here. Chef Bobby spoke to every diner during my visit and listened to our feedback, as well as provided some backstory and reason to his processes. It was a very warm and engaging experience, which helped us better understand the food. This is always a good thing.

The prices here are excellent, especially for the quality. I don't need to talk about the all you can drink deal, but it's what you'd expect and really great for the price again.

I have nothing bad to say as a customer, but I noted throughout the night how the layout of the restaurant causes the robot server to impede the staff's ability to quickly move around the restaurant. This is due to the hallway layout causing only one person to be able to walk through at a time, sometimes while shuffling behind the robot. I know it's a unique piece for the restaurant, but I wonder if it's really necessary. I imagine it would be pretty annoying for all involved parties during busy hours. On the other hand, the train is a much more efficient design although it lacks the ability to move larger dishes.“

“We’ve been here twice, and both times the food was good. However, during our first visit, the service was terrible—we waited 50 minutes for a table, and every 10 minutes, the host would promise it would be ready in five. Overall, it’s a good izakaya spot. Each skewer dish was about $3-6, and the wagyu was around $9.“

“Excellent food and service“

“Best cocktails in the area. Staff is awesome and they remember my drink every time I come in. I can go months and even a year and they still remember me and my order. I stay at the Westin when I'm in San Francisco just for the Clock Bar.“

“Today was my first time coming here and I really enjoyed the experience. I had the stuffed eggplant for lunch and it comes with rice and side salad. For those of you looking for healthy options, this is the place. I'm definitely coming here again.“

“Surprisingly, I was not disappointed by this lounge. It’s a hotel bar so it is obviously pricey. However, the waiter that seated me was one of the most well mannered people I’ve met. Their drinks were also tasty and they were not watered down.

Unfortunately, it was foggy the night I visited so the view wasn’t as great as it could’ve been. It also gets insanely crowded. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the experience here.“

“Josh and Jace made our night! Thank you for the hospitality ��“

“The view is amazing! Love the history ❤️“

“Everything on the menu needs to be experienced.“

“Perfect kitchen, my dish was super good! The service needs to be reviewed, the waiter asks us if we want bread, I say no and he rolls his eyes.. ok then my sister doesn't finish her plate because it's too generous for her but very good and the waiter judges her because she doesn't finish by raising her eyebrows again... finally we tell him that we don't want dessert and he rolls his eyes, that was too much for us! He notices that I saw what he did and suddenly he gives a forced smile asking if we're sure we won't have dessert. The next table who also spoke our language (French) sympathized with us. Total lack of professionalism, we gave a tip because we are in the USA but not deserved at all. I don’t recommend it if you don’t plan to eat “a lot”. Given the price of the dishes, the service should be reviewed.“

“Fabulous food! Enjoyed the atmosphere and our waiter was quick and courteous.“

“The pizza is the thing to get, the reviews mention the kale pizza and it’s SO delicious. My boyfriend says this is the best pizza he’s had in the city. The sourdough crust is chewy, warm, and crispy at the bottom. A great spot to visit if you’re in Sausalito for the day“
