“The Bump Bar offers an unforgettable dining experience that seamlessly blends Japanese cuisine with exquisite caviar offerings. Helmed by the talented Chef Lance Dillard, this intimate venue stands out as a must-visit for food enthusiasts and caviar aficionados.

The caviar service was beautifully presented and uniquely curated, it offers a sensory delight that is both visually stunning and delicious. The variety and quality of the caviar are unparalleled, making it a standout feature of the meal.

Highly recommended for those seeking a refined and exceptional dining experience in Sausalito.“

“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.“

“First time. Stopped in for a glass while I was waiting on my daughter. They were just opening up but very welcoming and gracious. The Rose’ I had was very nice. Will be back.“

“Great service great food Thanks“

“Loved the Bump Bar. Had an early Valentine's Day and Late Anniversary dinner in Feb 11. Enjoyed sitting at the end of the bar. Hosts and chef were friendly and inviting. Enjoyed learning about the Japanese grill used on the trout and steak dishes (which were delicious) never had potatoes prepared like the potato dish we had that night. Really enjoyed the California Caviar Company house flight of Caviar. We will go back again in the future. Thank you for a great night.“

“We had a lovely trip to Tiburon and started at this wine bar. We both ordered champagne flights, but my only complaint was that the flight didn’t clearly indicate one of the servings would be Cremant. As a restaurant owner who works with plant-based wines, I’m familiar with Cremant—it doesn’t agree with me and always makes me sick. When the host began serving it, I immediately declined and asked for a substitution. She kindly gave me a double pour of the rosé instead, and we both agreed the second brut was our favorite.

The staff were friendly, the vibes were chill, but the space itself is small and felt a bit cold. One host gave us great recommendations for nearby spots, and another pointed us to the best fries in town—Sam’s definitely delivers on that!

Overall, I’d come back here for a glass of wine, especially for a cozy date night.“

“We heard so much about this place, we came over from San Francisco specifically to try it out! What a perfect spot to have a taste of some amazing wines and an array of incredible cheeses and crackers. You walk inside and it’s a little shop with a bar counter on the right. You order what you like and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view!! I am so looking forward to coming back on my next visit. Make it a point to stop in, you won’t be disappointed!!“

“No air-conditioning, so we went outside after we ordered and sat on the sidewalk with car exhaust and motorcycles roaring by. They have a good selection of tasty wines and the charcuterie platter presented well with a nice selection of meats and cheeses. Our first server didn't know anything about wine and confessed to only drinking reds so she brought over a second person who knew more.“

“Beautifully appointed rooms. Charming contemporary and calming.“

“Lunch buffet was fabulous, every item was superbly delicious. Tandoori chicken and butter chicken; very tasty pakoras (not at all greasy); aloos with potatoes and/or garbanzos; loved the 3 different chutneys and the raita. Can’t remember all the dishes but they were plentiful and perfectly spiced and prepared. The buffet included unlimited chai tea and a choice of 3 different naans, the garlic one was outstanding. We were too full to try the desserts. The owner was very kind and caring, service was excellent. Sadly there were very few customers, please come in for lunch or dinner to support post-pandemic downtown San Rafael, and especially New Delhi Indian Cuisine. It is in the former Lotus Restaurant location, with easy parking and access to the Smart Train.
We’ll be back soon and often for a great satisfying Indian meal.“

“Wonderful food and service. Highly recommend!“

“My go-to when I'm in town! Fantastic food and service. Highly recommend!“

“I spend my days traveling the world exploring the most exotic wines in the deepest corners of this crazy place we call planet earth, and let me say that Bacchus and Venus did NOT disappoint.

From the exceptional wines, to the friendly staff, to the COMPLETELY odorless stemware, I was blown away. Not a single detail left me wanting more.

No matter the occasion; corporate event, date night, or if you’re just looking for a cool place to jive out, B&V will not disappoint. Don’t wait, hurry in today!“

“Jerry was fantastic, loved is dry sense of humour. He was welcoming, and so knowledgeable. We had a lovely bottle of Honig Cab Sav and the girls enjoyed a great French Sancerre rose.Jerry also gave me great recommendations none wine tasting in Napa (Honig estate) and a restaurant in Sonoma for my wife’s birthday lunch tomorrow. He also recommended a beautiful restaurant in Tiburon called La Caprice for dinner last night, the food was exceptional and the view to die for !Cheers Jerry, we’ll be back if we get back this side ?“

“An amazing restaurant with an interesting history and spectacular view of the Bay. Great service and food. And the Caprice is fully wheelchair accessible. Thanks for a great dining experience!“

“Love take out. The best minestrone and garlic bread. Yummy. Try it.“

“We had friends coming to visit from Arizona and wanted to take them somewhere special for dinner. We heard about the newly reopened Paseo in Mill Valley and decided to try it. We were welcomed by the friendly manager Kevin as we entered. After giving us a tour we were seated in the main dining room by a cozy fireplace. We ordered cocktails along with a charcuterie board and roasted Brussels sprouts. At the recommendation of our knowledgeable waiter Will, my sister and I ordered the beet salad. One of our guests had the Market Green Salad and another raved about her Potato Leek Soup. Wanting to try different entrees we ordered California Halibut, Braised Osso Busco, Mary's Chicken Breast, Rib Eye Steak, and Roasted Duck Breast with orange glaze. The taste and presentation exceeded our expectations. As we were enjoying coffee along with Chocolate Indulgence, a (layered torte) and a Peanut Crunch Bar, Chef Branden approached our table to see how we enjoyed our meal. We all told him how much we enjoyed the food, his beautiful presentation, and the smiling staff. We had a great five star experience and will definitely be back!“

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

“Iconic Fairfax destination in the heart of town. Great food! Superb coffee! And wonderful friendly staff! Shout out to Mario who was both the cook and the server for my birthday outing. As it turned out it was also his birthday. Thanks for the delicious avocado toast, the yummy baklava dessert and the happy smiles, Mario! ¡Feliz cumpleaños!“

“Fantastic bookstore, with amazing inventory, staff and cafe. One of my all time favorites.“

“We had the most delicious pastas and wine! The service was fantastic as well. We highly recommend TKT for your next night out!! Even our toddler was impressed!“

“Started with a pomegranate gimlet! Best Brussels sprouts ever! Beet salad, Dipsea pizza to die for. Yum. Great service-very personable-attentive-engaging. Food arrived in a timely manner and priced just right.“

“Great bistro by the water! We arrived shortly after opening on Saturday and were seated immediately. We chose the covered outdoor seating. It can get chilly so bring your jacket. There's also plenty of indoor seating.

The burger was delicious and the shoestring fries were great with the aioli. The pain perdu was so soft and yummy; fantastic french toast with berry compote. The croque madame was great as well with a nice side salad. I love bread and all the bread from these dishes were stuff my face good.

There's a dedicated valet parking lot for $5. The surrounding parking spots are all permit parking until you get to the bridgeway.

“Fantastic artisan food. Handmade corn tortillas & quesadillas made from organic corn ground daily in house. Farmers Market ingredients & sustainably sourced proteins. Local new chef/owner & partner are committed to building a community hub around food made with LOVE!“

“It's not often I express sincere pleasure in a meal but this place certainly deserves it. My grilled salmon was fantastic. I had one of those moments where you close your eyes and just savour the meal. My pavlova made me want to lick the plate clean. The service has been wonderful and friendly. I highly recommend this establishment!“

“Excellent food and service. Great views…What more can you ask for? This is not a budget, quick bite to eat place nor is it meant to be. It’s fine dining, with a staff that still knows how to serve people.“

“This is a wonderful spot for a bite on a beach day. Good menu, and wines by the glass. Outdoor seating is very popular so may be a wait especially at weekends. Next door is a popular ice cream stall and burgers if you can’t wait for a table.“
