50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants San Anselmo

“A fantastic restaurant right in downtown. It is small and quaint. The service was very attentive and helpful.The food was good. Slightly better than I was expecting, but not quite worth five stars.I would definitely come back if I was in the area. It's a very solid choice for a good dinner.“

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

“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“

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

“Oooooh, that Chinese tofu salad. I've eaten quite a few things from here, but that's my favorite. My husband and I picked up a ton of food from here on our way to Truckee cause we knew the cabin would have limited food around. Everything we ate was awesome! We weren't hungry, nor did we suffer with subpar fast food or junk. Love this place.“

“We recently went here after not going for a while and the food is just incredible. There was a time after they switched owners a few years back where things were a little bit rocky, but we recently went and it was incredible. Get the deviled egg sandwich. Highly recommended.“

“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“

“Everything is very delicious, recommended, the kindness is very good,“

“there's usually always a wait but excellent!“

“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

Feel free to tweak this based on your experience!“

“Talked myself into trying something different today... Fried chicken thighs and it wasn't up to par as the pork belly is. The chicken may have been over bribed as I found it real salty :-(“

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

“What a great place, a hidden jewel in the city! Fresh fish, fresh chips and guacamole… Everything was perfect! DELICIOUS❣️ We will return…“

“Pretty good. Food was better than average. Service wasn't great. Each time someone came to our table, no one ever cleared empty plates. Then when we asked someone to, they said it wasn't their job and they would tell someone else, which is just strange. The atmosphere was nice. Good place to hangout and chill.

Kid-friendliness: Very“

“Just had a fantastic breakfast! The food was delicious, and everything came out quickly. definitely a spot I'd recommend for a morning meal! Anita was a wonderful server, quick with service and checked in to top off glasses, taking empty plates and ask if we needed anything.
She was the highlight of our visit. Im excited to come back soon!“

“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!“

“Cute mom and pop Korean cafe. Feels like a very casual Korean mom meal. Nothing fancy, but definitely prepared with love. Prices very reasonable and all house-made. Good banchan and good texture on the multigrain rice. Healthy and legit. Very happy to see the owner is actually a Korean and not a Caucasian person making mid-fake Asian fast casual food lol. Will def come back and keep supporting this business!“

“You can taste the love and dedication in every bite. Arti deserves high praise for their hard work, incredible flavors, and excellent service. This is some of the best Indian food around. Nothing beats enjoying one of their lunch wraps by the creek on a sunny day!“

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

“While not an expert I grew up in Detroit eating gyros as often as hamburgers. Hands down the best gyro I have had in ages. Warm soft pita, crisp fresh veggies, great house made sauce and really tasty gyro meat. And always friendly service from the owner. Small seating area so may need to plan to do take out versus eat in.“

“Stopped there for lunch and it was delicious. Lasagna and Cioppino was delicious 😁“

“This is for the tasting room AND the Advent calendar from 2023.Tasting room - the woman who runs it is very experienced and we enjoyed chatting with her as she explained a variety of wines to us. There were some really delicious ones we had. One thing I found totally obnoxious and unhelpful were the descriptions of the wine. No joke - these were some descriptions. I was cringing so hard reading them.“Like a pair of silky red pajamas”“Like going on a 2nd date”They are trying too hard here to seem cool and it was embarrassing how useless the descriptions were. We are paying for wine, please describe it. This is not a creative writing class. Thank goodness the lady who ran the tasting room was there to give us further explanation about the actual flavor, aromatics or profile we should expect when tasting. She agreed the written descriptions were not as helpful as they could be but it was not her decision. We seriously would not have tried any of the wines just based on those descriptions. I had to knock off one star because of this.Advent calendar - was skeptical based on some shipping issues I read from the previous year. I got mine on time and the variety was good! I would say I really enjoyed about 70% and the 30% were interesting/good, not my favorite but cool to try. I would do it again next year.“

“Had a fabulous solo dining experience at Buckeye. Black cod on English pea risotto. 😋“

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

“The great tasting fresh healthy food made with love by this small business is all you could ask of it. Everything costs a fortune these days but at least your happy and full when you finish here. And to the owners, please keep up the great work, thanks!“

“Highly, highly recommend this place (of all the banh mi places in SF and Marin). This place is a gem in the North Bay. I've been to both locations, but live closer to the San Rafael deli. As a Vietnamese who grew up eating banh mi (not "bahn" - please stop misspelling this word!, although I understand "bahn" has been spelled like this to make it phonetically easier to pronounce), I vouch for this place. It is wholeheartedly the best banh mi place in the Bay area. Growing up, I lived in a close-knit Vietnamese-American community, and my mother and another lady in our village sold banh mi, so I have a discerning taste for banh mi. This place is totally legit and super authentic. The french bread is just the right texture (light and flaky, but not dense inside). The actual bread in a Vietnamese banh mi is not the same as a french baguette that is more often dense and chewy (and thanks to French colonizers, they left the Vietnamese with french bread and amazing architecture). I know many places in the Bay area that serve more dense baguettes for banh mi, which isn't authentic. The filling is perfect and the right amount with no special brown sauce or gravy. Vietnamese banh mi filling is not sweet, but has a slight tang and citrusy flavor from the pickled carrots and daikon.This is the perfect example of Vietnamese banh mi. I don't normally write reviews, but I want to spread the word that this place serves very good banh mi. Another added value is the price of a banh mi that is 30% less than the price of other places that are now charging $10-13 per baguette. The owners are super sweet, too. If you happen to find yourself in the North Bay and craving a banh mi, or want to find an authentic example, this place is a must!

“Our service was amazing. The food was very good and the atmosphere was really nice. We will definitely be back.“

“Novato is clearly not done adding wonderful new places for couples and families to spend their time and dollars. Henhouse Record Room is the latest taproom to open up downtown and couldn’t be more welcomed. Great music, food trucks, FFX-only recipes, and plenty of dog friendly room. Right there on Grant street. Get some.“

“An absolute gem! The food here is nothing short of divine, bursting with flavor and clearly made with care. We sat on the sunny outdoor patio, which was the perfect setting for a leisurely lunch. The staff are incredibly kind and attentive, adding to the warm, welcoming vibe. We ordered the Pad Thai and Green Curry both were balanced and satisfying. A chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc rounded out the meal perfectly. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Tien is THE BEST! I highly recommend this place.“

“woah. i dont really say real deal but real f***** deal. well balanced. superb quality. exceptional service and presentation. clean flavors. first time I have actually been left utterly speechless. 5 stars. 5 forks. whatever. this place is the jam......“

“the food is real!!!!!!!!!“

“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🥰!“

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

“This fairy-tale-like restaurant in Mill Valley truly surprised us with how delicious the food was. We went with our kids and ordered a variety of dishes—especially the sizzling stone pot bibimbap and the fried chicken, which were absolutely outstanding. Not only was the food delicious, but the plating was beautiful as well, making the whole meal a delight for both kids and adults. It was a perfect brunch experience, and we’ll definitely be coming back every time we’re in Mill Valley.“

“pricey pizza but delicious“
