50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Anselmo

“We narrowly missed a 45 minute wait here last week for my birthday dinner. No problems sitting at the bar - service was quick and wonderful. The sushi here is incredibly fresh and thoughtfully designed. I loved the super nova roll and the ocean roll, my partner liked the special roll. We were offered the typical (complimentary) wasabi and the fresh wasabi. My partner said the fresh is much better and worth ordering. We found the prices here to be reasonable especially considering the quality. We can't wait to go back!“

“I had lunch here with a friend and it was such a nice break. Sitting on the sunny terrace at the picnic tables gave it a real vacation feel. The lunch options are fresh and farm-to-table inspired, simple but well done. The bread is excellent, so good that I brought one home. A relaxed spot with good food and an easy, pleasant atmosphere.“

“Excellent food, great service, wine, deserts. The servers actually will give you opinions about the food if you ask. That a test I have: Will the servers give an opinion if asked or will they weasel out. The staff have opinions about the wine, the main courses, dessert. Lovely experience“

“Amazing Asian tofu salad! Only issue is I carried out and didn’t see that you have to pay extra for them to mix it. That is bizarre and was super annoying but it is truly addictive and my boyfriend couldn’t stop talking about it. I wouldn’t change a thing except the staff was rude and the salad should be mixed without an up charge!“

“Beautiful establishment with friendly service and a nice beverage selection. However, their food left me desiring more—their peaches weren’t ripe enough and very hard, and their Greek salad seemed more like an arugula/ onion salad with small amounts of tomato and cheese.“

“I'm from out of town. our team has been here since December 2022 .we have traveled all over san Francisco and surrounding cities within eating and trying new food's. i will have to say i have found the best wings in san Francisco. tried all three flavors and the were cooked just right with awesome sauce. i definitely recommend stopping there. james swanger from liberty SC“

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

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

“Muy recomendado para cualquier ocasión y la atención es excelente !“

“delicious food and drink at the happy hour. perfect service and nice atmosphere.“

“perfect balance of spice and flavor.

I ordered the medium heat level, which had a great kick but wasn’t overpowering. For those looking for a real challenge, they have hotter options too, but beware – it’s not for the faint of heart! The sides were a nice complement, especially the creamy mac and cheese and tangy coleslaw, which helped cool things down.

The atmosphere was casual and laid-back, making it a great spot for a quick bite with friends or a casual lunch. The staff was friendly and happy to explain the menu for first-timers. One small downside was the wait time during peak hours, but it’s worth it for fresh, made-to-order food.

Overall, if you’re a fan of hot chicken or just looking to spice up your meal, Faces Hot Chicken is the place to be. Just make sure you come prepared for the heat!

Rating: 4.5/5

“The best cappuccino in Marin hands down! Been going there for years -- the service has been consistently excellent and the pastries and cakes are quintessential Italian delicacies! Gary and Jeannie Rulli are the dedicated hands-on proprietors -- wonderful people and a blessing to our Larkspur community🥰!“

“Huge shout out to Juice GIrl for supporting me last week during my spring cleanse. thank you for your high quality products and attention to detail !!! good jobbers!“

“Great place to have a delicious dinner, friendly staff and amazing food.“

“Thank you to Tien and team for a wonderful breakfast and even better service! You were so accommodating to our daughter’s allergy and we felt so well taken care of. Even our dog had her own water dish. We’re so glad you’re part of the Novato community!“

“Great service and menu. I had a difficult time deciding what to order because there were so many things that looked good. The sommelier was extremely helpful in assisting me in choosing a wine that everyone would enjoy. Our service was excellent.“

“Good atmosphere Great food and service“

“International flavor...great patio and vibe. It's a landmark.“

“Best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to so far in the US.“

“visiting from Portland and trying to dine local. This place was clean, prompt service and the food was so fresh and delicious. Looks like a place lots of locals come, always good. Good dog watching.“

“Came here not expecting much. The pizza was really good. Not true Neapolitan style, but crunchy and well made. Sauce was tasty and the pizza was well covered in toppings.
The beer selection was also great.

We’ll be back.“

“Really great cafe with delicious Korean food. The kimchee was delicious and each dish we ordered was loved by our group of 4. The protein bowl (both chicken and beef) were LOVED. I had the kimchee soup meal and it was amazing. Staff were kind and the prices were reasonable.

By the way, at this point all of the negative reviews are from 2+ years ago and the concerns they note (few options and small portions) were not at all what we experienced. A good sized menu for a small cafe and the portions were perfect - and we were hungry. I think they adapted to the feedback. The average stars here should be much closer to 5. If there were any hesitations at all the matcha and boba were not favorites (not bad, but not at the level of the food)

We will definitely be back!“

“stellar grub weather it's the weekday or weekend“

“love love love it here! my mom and I stayed in fairfax for a whole week and we ate here several times. food is amazing, atmosphere is amazing, staff is amazing. special shout out to our main man Ty who remembered us by name and was always super fun and friendly every time we came in. he may even play you a few songs on his guitar if you’re lucky. this place was definitely a highlight of our trip and i’ll miss going there when we leave. we could also tell that this place is a huge hit with the locals which is always nice to see. thanks for all of the great food, drinks, conversations, and songs Barefoot Cafe! until next time! -Ebony“

“Love what they’ve done with the place ! The huevos rancheros is awesome“

“Awesome Food and kind staff!“

“Italian Delite Submarine Sandwiches Thank you for supporting the Lucky Run this past Sunday to benefit Novato High School's Safe & Sober Grad Night. We appreciate you! Safe and Sober Grad of Novato“

“What a gem of a restaurant! We unintentionally stumbled upon Bolinas earlier this month while on vacation. When the Muir Woods closed due to the government shutdown, we pivoted, and we are so happy we did. Our party of 8, which they so accommodatingly allowed us to spilt into separate tables for 4 adults and 4 tweens, had the best time on their patio. The service was stellar and warm, the atmosphere was friendly and there wasn't a stranger to be found, and the food was even better than both those combined. Thanks to the whole crew for being the highlight of the day.“

“Very good..................“

“The maple blueberry muffin was the best muffin I’ve ever had and I am not generally overly effusive in my reviews. The London Fog was also perfectly balanced, not too sweet with the earl grey coming through nicely. Also kudos to the baker for the perfect rings on the croissant! It was pretty crowded so I might aim for a weekday next time.“

“When I always visit San Fran I always go to the joinery for lunch or a beverage Food is always fab and the drinks are nicely chilled an crisp 👍 Staff are always lovely and friendly and the place has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and a sun trap Thank you from a international frequent traveller 👍👍“

“* Returned in October 2025, and bringing up the Star rating. Broth was tasty in the tonkatsu ramen and very filling. Chicken Curry dish was good. They turned off some of the overhead lights to help with a “not so bright room” Good call! *

Review when they first opened:
Do you ever find yourself craving ramen or something Asian? I am so happy that this spot opened up in Novato! We had the edamame (glad they serve it warm), the curry chicken katsu don and tonkatsu miso ramen. You can control the spiciness in your dish by adding their homemade chili oil!“

“Love the place.“

“Great food, great service and reasonable prices for the area. Had the chicken tikka masala, and would order it again! Medium spiciness and found it to be on the milder side of medium.

Arti made us feel at home, and took care of us, even when they were getting takeout orders persistently.

The ginger ale has a spicy taste and you can really taste the ginger. I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re expecting a soda that tastes like Canada Dry. The mango lassi drinks in the fridge are really good, and I don’t generally eat mangos.

Recommend coming hungry after a hike or day at the beach!“

“If I could give Kitti’s Place a 6/5 stars I would! THE BEST THAI FOOD I HAVE EVER HAD!
I live in San Francisco and drive to Sausalito just because I’m craving Kitti’s Place!
I have been going to Kittis for as long as I can remember and they never miss. The staff treats customers like family. The food is indescribably delicious and the portion sizes are insane! I have never found thai food that can compare. No matter what you get; Pad kee mow, Tom Ka or a lettuce cup appetizer you will enjoy an explosion of flavor! The staff consistently go above and beyond to make something delicious and special when my mom (who has numerous allergies) comes to visit. Why would you go anywhere else for Thai food? Next time you are craving Thai in the Bay Area come to KITTIS PLACE!“

“Excellent place to try! Great staff and great food“

“Their sauce is truly outstanding; you can taste the quality tomatoes. I had the some like it hot and added their house made vegan ricotta, which was creamy, mild and a great complement. Love that they’re vegetarian—whole family ate a meat-free dinner?“

“Outstanding, quality meats from experienced and knowledgeable butchers. Very friendly service and accommodating. My go to butcher!“
