Delicious food but wish there were more bar tenders to speed up the drink process.

I visited the restaurant before the renovation and, despite having a retro decor, wasn’t impressed by the food.This time around, under new ownership and renovation, I was pleasantly surprised. First, food was really good. Huge portions, homemade personalized cooking. I hope it stays the same way, there are a lot of seafood items I’d like to try. I got seafood risotto, it was really good; husband got a huge calzone and said it was amazing.Ambiance is lovely, live piano adds to the charm.Lastly, service was good. Will be back!

Point Richmond is a charming town anyway and the recently reopened restaurant is it a delight. I had the salmon sandwich with their amazing potato wedges accompanied by a delicious red wine. Like all restaurants these days post-covid, prices are a little higher, put lunch was quite reasonable.

The first time I had the lobster ravioli it was very good but a really small portion. The second time I ordered food, the chicken was burned, and dry, and the salmon was really overcooked....this meal was well over $100 and I was really

We used to love the old Hotel Mac restaurant, and were sorry it closed. There are several rooms and they are all very cozy. A very relaxing vibe. The new place is a great place for lunch or dinner. Went for lunch so it wasn't too crowded. Nice selection of Italian dishes. You can customize your own dish, and they have house specialties as well. I had a pesto with mushrooms which was great. They also have pizzas and meat and fish dishes, for those who don't want pasta. Nice selection of antipasto and salads too. Nice list of cocktails in addition to wine and beer. They have a full bar. Recommend the panna cotta with berries for dessert. Yum! Not too heavy or sweet. Just right. Point Richmond is really quite a find, for those who don't already know it. Definitely will keep this one on my list of restaurants.

After passing by many times I finally gave it another shot, it has a new owner after closing for sometime. Unfortunately it was a huge disappointment, walking in there was no one there to greet us, we were just about to walk out when someone came asking if we had a reservation, in which we did not but we were given two front dining options. We sat and immediately noticed the pianist and guitarist were not in sync and it was awful, our server came out right as we were seated with bread, balsamic vinaigrette oil mix and water, first disappointment for a fine dining place was being served flat water and not sparkling, secondly no ice with our water. As we looked over the menu there were some good but pricey options, I went with lasagna $28 and a lemon drop $15 while my bf had linguine $30, while we waiting the music was jaw clenching and to add to that they had a female singer, she either forgot the words or couldn't sync with the other two but she gave up after 2 songs, I was very happy about that. Our food came and looked delicious, bf not so much as his was a very single serving with not much protein in it. Both were delicious nonetheless, halfway through my meal I start getting stomach cramps, hmm this is odd so I decided to stop halfway through my lasagna and go straight to dessert which also has some great menu options. Although my dessert was good, it was something I normally purchase at Safeway, they just added some banana chips. Over all we spent $100+ and it was not worth it. I'd recommend to the owner to consider a wine tasting experience at their front dining room, small tapas menu. Absolutely get rid of the piano, you can add more tables = more $. Consider a violinist, harp or chelo. Your guest want to feel welcome when they enter your fine dining restaurant, doesn't feel so welcoming when no one is at the front. I do wish my $28 lasagna came with a salad or something fresh to complement all that cheese, although the lasagna was delicious the tummy ache lasted all night leaving me wondering if it was the food. This being the only classy-ish restaurant in this little town I would support it and most likely order to go, I do hope the owner considers a wine tasting, tapas style experience I know it would sure fill in those empty seats for lunch/dinner.

We went over after an amazing matinee at the Masquers playhouse to have some drinks. Ended up staying off dinner. I'm on Keto hardcore right now and didn't think there was anything I could have. But I ended up getting the ribeye with no potatoes. It was outstanding! And a large steak. It was delicious. The bartender was amazing when we were having cocktails. The server was wonderful when we had dinner upstairs. It is a great wonderful spot. And love the piano lounge up front by the bar.

Food service ambiance. Amazing!! Staff was so attentive. I had the stuffed salmon, brother had rib eye steak. Niece had spaghetti and meatballs. We got a couple drinks from the bar. It was all so good! Oh and got the apple crisp dessert. Yum!!
I have loved hotel Mac for many years and was upset at losing it during covid. Found that Lara was running it then...loved the music, food, etc. Now, I have been there 3 times with new ownership, twice for lunch, Robin the greatest waitress. Have had muscles and wine. Friday night at 6pm . I truly enjoyed the great music from Brad, baritone horn, and Michael, piano. Also, had delicious muscles and Sauvignon blanc again.

This is an *astoundingly* good restaurant! The space is historic, quirky, and cozy. On a Saturday night, the dining room was lively without being loud. Live jazz added to the ambience, at just the right volume. The cocktail and wine menus are expansive and inviting. And the food is stellar! Everything that came to the table was fantastic, and I can say that if you like veal parmigiana, theirs is absolutely as good as it gets. Will definitely be back!

We were able to dine while the restaurant had very few customers.  the service was outstanding. My wife and I had the personal pizza which was delicious. My mother-in-law had to take home pasta dish. We would go back again.
