The atmosphere and hilltop views from the Novato Ayawaska restaurant are worth the trip! The cocktails are unique and delicious, and the grilled octopus appetizer is the most tender and flavorful octopus we’ve ever had. The food is outstanding! The sauce on the seafood Tacu Tacu is amazing and the risotto medallions were cooked perfectly! The entire meal was an exceptional experience!

We ordered the vegan ceviche, and all 3 vegan side dishes. All were just delicious! It was way too much food for just the 2 of us, but we were so excited that a restaurant had so many vegan options that we just had to get them all. They also have a vegan salad on the menu that sounded delicious, but we weren’t in the mood for a salad - will have to save that for next time. The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was perfect! Will definitely be coming back here again soon!

Dietary restrictions: Several vegan items on the menu, including a vegan ceviche, a vegan salad and 3 vegan side dishes!

Went here on a Sunday night. Great views and I loved the Halloween decorations. But they seemed to be short-staffed or something as I only saw one waitress for ≈8 tables. She was unpleasant and borderline rude. Our food also took a long time to come out, lessening our enjoyment. I'm sure others have had better experiences. I just wish I had.

This place is amazing! We will absolutely be back! The Salmon is amazing! The Charlie Zombie for a drink was the best. And the Chocolate Volcan dessert was amazing.

Very solid suburban restaurant. It became clear that this was a chain. Way too professional, and the menu was absolutely like a chain. But really good choices for appetizers and for main courses.

Parking: Lot right there.

I was there for my mother's 81st birthday, and the server was very nice. The chicha was good, but we ordered Lomo Saltado and it was terrible — there was no flavor. The French fries tasted like fish, the rice tasted off, and the soup was not good either. I asked my friend if he liked it; he didn't. The Pescado a lo Macho was okay. I'm sorry to say this, but I hope you can improve. I won't be coming back.

Delicious food! It was a group of friends and each had a different dish, all were really good. After 10 pm it becomes a very fun nightclub! Friday and Saturday only,
I believe.

The best ceviche in Marin and cocktails, snacks and the beer is cold. I love the bartenders, they are all great which I think is very important in a restaurant bar.

Lovely view decor and vibe was lively but chill. The food was amazing the grilled octopus app is probably my new favorite food.
When I asked my server about the flavors of the food, he was able to describe the cooking methods and spices. Enjoyable! Can't wait to come back for Sunday brunch!
