Restaurants in San Anselmo

“The food, the presentation, the service.”

“Highly recommend this hidden gem!
We had a wonderful Father’s Day dinner here, and everything exceeded our expectations. The waitstaff and the friendly girls at the door who seated us were all fantastic—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Everyone took the time to explain the specials and answer questions, which made the experience feel personal and special. 
The portions were generous and the food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. As a nice touch, they even took a Polaroid picture of us with their own camera to commemorate the occasion—what a thoughtful gesture!
This was a great dinner overall, and we’ll definitely be back. Perfect spot for a memorable meal with family. Thank you to the whole team!”

“Amazing place all the way around 🙌🏼”

“The food and wine are fantastic!”

“Definitely one of the best Italian restaurants in Marin County. Generous portions, very tasty , and a cozy place. I like my food high in salt which was perfect, but if you’re not good with that, make sure to let the waitress that.”

“Creekside offers a great assortment of beers, wine. tasty pizza and other comfort foods, healthy salads all served by the friendliest staff and owners you could wish for!🍺”

“💯💯💯💯worth the short wait ..authentic deli has returned to marin !”

“Most expansive variety of matcha from different providences in Japan. I’ve enjoyed the hyper-premium matcha every morning before work. Keeps you awake without any jitters and full of L-theanine. Excellent for health and longevity.”

“acoustics, ambiance, and $4 modelos is a perfect storm. 10/10 recommend for a classy san anselmo joint if you’re keen for a cold drink and the best salsa in marin!!”

“The most delicious sandwiches imaginable. Ask Chef Marco to make you something surprising. It will blow your mind. Also a great place to pick up delicious treats for home, like good pastas, sauces, capers, etc. Wonderful selection and prices are fantastic.”

“Great food and good service at reasonable price.🙏👍”

“I've been going to this place for my lunch for the past 3 and 1/2 years whenever I'm in the area definitely stop by here The customer service is good food is delicious and always hot but one thing I will say is if you want this for a good lunch definitely want to come before noon and after about 1:00 or 2:00 otherwise there is quite a line the Kung Pao chicken is the best. During the week can't speak for the weekend but definitely worth trying The only other place that comes close is lams kitchen in Mill valley”

“Great for events and parties or just swing by for a drink. Best well kept secret in Marin. Fun funky bar and great outside patio area. There is a wonderful upstairs hall as well with a private bar and kitchen. Lots of options.”

“So good tried a classic & a square pizza Recommendation from our Genna server. Definitely be back soon.”

“Barton’s is my go-to morning stop on the way to work. I’m there a lot, and it never disappoints. My regular order is the lox sandwich — about ten bucks and you get a fantastic toasted bagel loaded with all the good stuff. The bagels are consistently excellent, the cream cheese options are all great, and their espresso is top-notch. On top of that, the staff is always friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend if you want a quality bagel and coffee to start your day.”

“We went hiking in mt tam and randomly came across this place. The chocolate cake was divine. So moist and flavorful. Apparently they only make that one cake and it’s what the whole town buys. The gentleman on the counter was also very helpful.”

“Had the Californi Benedict. Good portion and prepared well. Also had Burrata Toast which was simple and delicious. Comes with 3 slices of toasted country bread. It could use another slice to finish off the burrata. Would order both again. Pastries also yummy but you have to get there early to have the choices.”

“Stefano's is our favorite work night pizza place! Thursday us pizza night at our house, and we stop by for quick slices and salad. The food is always delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. It's also fun to listen to Brazilian Portuguese being spoken. All I can say is "Obregado!"”

“Best pancakes in Marin. Got to be one of the inspirations for American Graffiti, it is so classic.”

“Food was great, local and fresh, and it was served faster than I expected, because it was pretty busy and during Brunch. Great atmosphere, nice and warm in the summer mid morning sun, not too disturbed from the traffic and noise, and the service was good! Definitely coming back again!”

“I love this classic frozen yogurt shop. They always have great new flavors (as well as the classics) and the best toppings whether you are a candy or fresh fruit fan. The staff is always friendly and helpful.”

“Good food, good service, and an excellent value. I've been going to this place for over 20 years and the staff know me very well. The salsa bar and fresh chips have always been a nice perk that set its apart from other places which have come and gone. It's always busy around lunchtime and parking lot can packed but they get orders out quickly. I usually get my food to go but dining in is a pretty comfortable experience. They've steadily upgraded the interior over the years and recently got all new tables/chairs.”

“One of my favorite places in Marin! Love the specials, the avacado rolls and chow mein noodles are delicious and so affordable! Also a fan of their spring rolls and tofu fried rice, great options if you are vegetarian like me. They prep the food fairly quickly and are always kind. (:”

“Love this place! Great atmosphere with some really cool pics of old bands and legends like the rat pack, 2 patios, 1 in the back, and 1 next to parking lot, 2 pool tables, and the bartenders are knowledgeable with drinks. I believe they serve hotdogs (not sure) but you are welcome to bring food and eat it there.”

“Always outstanding Food & Service we going to this place for over 15 years :-)”

“First time there. Had good breakfast and then listened to our friends play some great music. Have to go back.”

“Margaritas are great!
Staff is always really nice and working really hard to make sure people are happy. ( have seen a handful of difficult people giving the staff a hard time)”

“A great taste, very helpful, everything from merchandise to drinks and desserts.”

“Love everything on the menu! You can’t go wrong with it!!”

“I don’t want to ruin this classic San Anselmo business’ income, but in lieu of a website or email address, I’m compelled to leave this public review in hopes that ownership sees it. You guys are over roasting your African beans to a criminal degree. Yirgacheffe and Tz pea berry are such delicate, complex beans, with so many floral / fruity / light flavors, that roasting them within an inch of their lives completely misses their point. Far be it from me to tell someone else how to run their business, but as someone with a deep knowledge of and passion for single origin light roast coffees, you guys shouldn’t do this to your (very expensive) Ethiopian and Tanzanian beans. Dark roast the other stuff. I’m sure most people want that. But please light roast those beans. I’m throwing away the one pound bag of yirgacheffe I bought yesterday, heartbroken at how burnt and undrinkable it is. For reference: V60 / medium ground / tetsu kasuya pour method. Side note: incredibly kind staff, and old school San Anselmo charm. Just burnt beans.”

“The staff at this Subway are awesome. I came in at 9:30pm to order 17 six-inch subs for a student field trip, not realizing the store closed at 10pm (online it said it was open until 1am). Adrienne the girl at the counter was soooo nice to agree to make all the sandwiches, which ended up making her clock out late. She saved the day! The field trip with the kids was a hit and they loved their sandwiches.After I left I realized I accidentally left my credit card in the card reader (tired teacher). Alex F the morning guy kept my card safe for pick up after I got off work. You just don't find kind, honest, and hardworking people like Adrienne and Alex that often anymore.I believe the manager's name is Mr. Sunil.If you read this Sunil, you have two superstar employees working for you! I hope they get some recognition and promotions. They were just wonderful.I highly recommend this Subway to anyone who loves great service, kind people, and delicious food.”

“Though our waiter was very accommodating, his ability to promptly serve us was out of his control. That was because there were only two waiters for the entire restaurant.”

“Mi comida preferida.”

“The store is on a level surface. You can see Red. Hill from there , where we four wheel drive to the top. It's next to Thirfty Drug Store.”

“Visited for the first time and have to admit I was wary because of the reviews. Ended up talking with the owner for a few minutes and he was incredibly friendly. He's been running the place for 40 years. We talked about the history of the establishment and how he got into the gelato business. No rudeness and delicious gelato. The small seating area in the back was very nice for our small group. I would highly recommend it and plan to go back often.”
