“Wow! this is a great place to eat. Its' menu is packed with flavorful dishes. Don't sleep on the fish and chips. It is anything but basic. Beso is also a great place for outdoor dinning. The restaurant has frequently won the Taste of Marin Award. After you eat there you will see why. Oh, I also hear that they have a good wine selection. When you go don't forget to say hello to the owner. Yes it is one of those places where you are welcomed as if it is someone's home to sit down and sit a spell to visit for awhile.“
“It was take out for our office grp.I got the luncheon, crab+ sando w/ salad.May I say...the Sando was a scrumptious, divine, most perfect, triangular cut. A bit of perf spicy in each bite. Not to much, not too little.My choice of a side. Salad.A magnificent collection of greens, fluffy, crisp.Add the rasp Dressing.A dessert.“
“When we lived in the City, we'd go to Perry's on Union Street for burgers and the jolly, friendly atmosphere. Moving to Marin we'd go to Perry's in Larkspur occasionally; we were not eating out as much then with a young family but always enjoyed it when we did.Retiring in W Marin our eating out is primarily in Petaluma and I've been meaning to try Perry's in Novato ever since I read about its opening.With its central location and Perry's reputation it seemed a good choice for lunch with an old friend. We were not disappointed; a little tricky to find, the place has the full Perry's style with white tiled floor in the bar, mahogany furniture, friendly attentive service.We were seated in the back room with a high ceiling and looking out onto a hillside. Convivial atmosphere,busy with several large group tables. Perry himself came over to say hello and was unhurriedly working the room; a nice touch. His daughter who works there also came by.For me the food at Perry's is ok, not special and so it was that day. I had fish & chips and my friend a chicken salad.It was however the perfect rainy day to linger over lunch and enjoy the atmosphere.“
“Second time since 2021. While price has increased it still offers one of the best value in the area for tasting menu. Most of the courses are on point and creative. my favorite is the jidoji egg. The tortellini is a bit bland, but still good. I like that the atmosphere is intimate and unassuming.“
“Plenty of photos to accompany this review. The grounds are beautiful and the service was very attentive. I did not realize there is no dinner service here which surprised me a bit. The lemonade was not the powder kind and the dishes were all excellent except one. Brussel sprouts, the oversize onion rings, Chicken sandwich, Pork sandwich, and salad with shrimp were all very tasty. My question (I do not know the answer for sure so the potential single star beat down did not take place) is around the poke entree. The poke looks very much like the standard fish obtained from restaurant depot. Just like the seaweed salad that most places use from this supplier. I bring this up since the overall quality of the food here was high so I would hope they do not leverage that generic supplier for this dish. All in all, it is a five star establishment.“
“This was an incredible experience. We came on a rainy day, so the kids were offered blankets and the amazing staff moved the heaters for us!Some amazing staff that helped us included Jen and Dan! Thank you!!!!Dietary restrictions: Clearly labeled vegan and gluten free options.Kid-friendliness: They are very kid-friendly here.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp and no stairs.“
“Lovely meal last night! Dishes were creative, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Wine list and guidance were terrific complements. Ambience was relaxing. Service was wonderfully personable and prompt. The only (good) problem - the diverse menu presented too many alluring choices for one dinner, so we will be back for sure. Thank you for a terrific dinner!“
“Ounces is such a great addition to Terra Linda! The food and drink menus change often and are consistently phenomenal. Sometimes I'm in the mood for a cider, wine or a beer and I've never been disappointed! Trivia on Wednesdays is always fun, and the weekends have a live music.“
“I just had brunch at Easy Rider in Petaluma, and had an amazing brunch!!! Not only was our brunch, delicious, I had the fried chicken and waffle dish, but our server, whose name was Benjamin, was outstanding. What a pleasant fellow, and an excellent accommodating server. What an overall pleasant dining experience!“
“Tiny, family-owned restaurant full of charm and absolutely scrumptious food. Creative menu that changes weekly and reflects the seasonality and bounty of local farms. A small but well-curated wine list with a few tasty aperitifs and n.a. cocktails. I've been twice now and never disappointed. Can't wait to go back again soon!“
“I lived in Italy for six months when I was younger and have been back several times and the fresh pasta a this restaurant reminded me of several restaurants I ate at while in Tuscany. My adult son and I went here after a day of antique shopping in Petaluma and the food was amazing - as was the staff and the prices were very good. My son had pork chops and said it was the best he has ever had. I had pappardelle and it was so fresh and both were very large portions, we were stuffed (in a good way). We also had two glasses of very reasonably priced house wines - red and white and enjoyed both. We started with a chickpea appetizer that was also very tasty. We did not have room for dessert but the menu looked very good. We saw the chef doing rounds, he was very nice and our waitress was knowledgeable, friendly and attentive.“
“Went on a Sunday @ 1pm and had to wait for ten minutes for an open table. The host estimated our wait to be fifteen minutes. the wait time went by quickly as we watched planes landing and taking off. they have chairs and picknick tables you can use while waiting. We sat outside and our waitress was friendly, engaging, and helpful. our food for 6 came up at the same time and no one was disappointed with their selections. The inside seating area is nicely appointed and they have the history on the dinner/airport displayed throughout the dinning areas. It is truly a "family" run operation who cares about your experience and appreciates your business!“
“A wonderful experience at Kientz Hall! We hosted baby shower in the beautiful Atrium space this past weekend. Everything was perfect. Our mostly out of town guests were impressed with the beautiful space, the delicious food and drink, and the gracious service from the Kientz Hall team. My husband and I enjoyed showing off what our beloved San Anselmo has to offer!Thank you Linda, Samantha, Elaina, and Fernando for a wonderful afternoon with friends and family!“
“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.“
“We will go back here! Really nice place. Great vibe. Excellent service. Nice, quite bar. We found parking very close and easily. We didn't eat dinner, so I can't rate the food. But I will bet it matches the level of the rest of this place. Really good spot. Go here!!!!“
“If you look at my photos it probably goes without saying that I think the Comforts Chinese Tofu Salad is basically humankind's greatest invention, which is not a superlative. I'd give it 100 stars out of 5 if I could. Their offering the tofu version without needing to ask for a substitution is awesome, on top of which the tofu is richly flavorful--several omnivorous friends have said they prefer it to its chicken counterpart. The dressing is light but perfectly coats the fixings. Furthermore the staff is friendly without fail and the main drag of San Anselmo is perfect for eating outdoors. I drive out of way several times a week for this lunch and I suggest you try the same.“
“Awesome place for live music. We saw Rodney Crowell, on his Chicago sessions tour tonight, managed to sit second row dead center by getting there early enough, and the show was absolutely positively awesome. Positively awesome. And I go to 20 or 30 live shows a year easily some years more.“
“My recent experience at The Melt left me with an undeniable appreciation for the simplicity behind their culinary mastery and outstanding service.The Impossible Burger, the star of the show, was nothing short of perfection. The patty, cooked to the ideal degree, delivered a burst of juiciness and an explosion of flavors. The addition of melted cheddar brought a creamy richness that elevated the entire experience to a new level. The jalapeño and pickle mix provided a welcome kick, infusing each bite with a refreshing zest. The Melt sauce served as the pièce de résistance, seamlessly tying together all the elements with its savory goodness. And the toasted, artisan bun? A marvel in itself, with a crispy exterior giving way to a soft and pillowy interior, creating the perfect vessel for this mouthwatering creation.What truly set The Melt apart, however, was the exceptional service. Rolando, in particular, deserves commendation for orchestrating a seamless dining experience from start to finish. Despite the myriad of questions from my party, all of whom can be described as fussy eaters, he navigated with ease, enhancing our enjoyment of the meal. The entire staff exhibited a level of attentiveness, friendliness, and genuine concern for customer satisfaction that is rare to find.The restaurant's atmosphere played a significant role in making the meal even more enjoyable. The inviting, modern yet cozy ambiance created the perfect backdrop for savoring the culinary delights offered. Whether you identify as a vegetarian or simply someone seeking an innovative and delicious burger, The Melt is unequivocally the place to be.In conclusion, my visit to The Melt was nothing short of a five-star experience. From the scrumptious Vegetarian Impossible Burger to the outstanding service, this establishment has unequivocally won me over. I eagerly anticipate returning for more of those mouthwatering flavors and the genuine warmth of The Melt's hospitality. This is more than a recommendation; it's a comfort-food culinary adventure that should not be missed!“
