everything about our dining experience was great, especially the responsive service by our server

Absolutely always a standout and I always leave feeling satisfied by the relaxed dining room, elegant dining areas (great take-away in the back of the dining room), professional waiters who don't rush but deliver. Michelin rated in 2025 and the menu has wonderful seasonal inclusions. Mediterranean dishes mesa plates, hummus is delicious and creamy with roasted pita chips, prawn salad with baby lettuces was delicious and enormous. My friend enjoyed the Mediterranean plate with quinoa (instead of the normal couscous), hummus, peppers.

Even a very good restaurants has individual menu items which are not up to snuff, which was my last experience at Insalata's. Stick to your tried and tested, or ask questions about new items.

This is our go to restaurant when visiting friends in Marin. We went on a Thursday for late lunch. Solid food and service and a warm and inviting atmosphere with generous space.

My wife and I came in on Wednesday night. The food and atmosphere were excellent — the prices are a little high, but the quality of the food makes it worth it. Unfortunately, the experience was spoiled when the bill came. We each ordered a soda and had two refills apiece (six glasses total) and were shocked to be charged $24 just for Coke. At no point did our waitress mention that refills weren’t free, which is unacceptable for a sit-down restaurant serving fountain drinks. On top of that, the soda mix itself tasted off. For what we paid, we expected better. Our waitress’s lack of transparency made it feel like she took advantage of the situation to run up our bill, which was very disappointing and turned what could have been a perfect night into a frustrating one

The service was outstanding, we left perfectly satiated We both had the hummus with chili, I had the Lamb burger, my friend had the wagu steak. Both extraordinary.

Insalata's continues to be a top favorite, as they have been ever since they opened for business. They never fail to impress with delicious food and bar offerings, and there is often a new surprise and delight on the dessert menu. We shared a date custard tart thing with tangerine sorbet which was a marvel of subtle & complex flavors. It was fabulous. Thank you for yet another great meal.

This place is outstanding. My steak cooked perfectly and burst with flavor. The dessert one on the best I ever had.

Always a wonderful experience! So fortunate to have a restaurant of this quality avail able to us.
The food was fabulous! Not a upscale ad one would think from a Michelin star restaurant, but then again, it's California. Definitely worth the drive and the money.

We chose Insalatas to celebrate our Mom's 90th birthday for a group of 8. The service was very accommodating, attentive but not intrusive, and the food was excellent!

Everything we ordered was delicious. Unfortunately, the chicken was sold out, so we couldn’t try it. Must try celebration cake

The Appizer was served after the starter salad (after approx. 50 minutes) The aperitif arrived late. The service went to a lot of trouble and was very friendly. There were too many guests for the kitchen and staff - and therefore extremely loud. For a restaurant with a BiP recommendation, we are irritated by this - we are not used to this in Europe.

The menu was creative and appealing, the flavors were complex and delicious, and each item — from appetizer through dessert — was artfully arranged and a pleasure to look at. Our server checked on us regularly and gave helpful information about menu items. The whole dinner was a lovely experience!
