“great food, good prices.“

“Have dined at Le Chalet Basque for more than 20 years. Our recent meal with lamb chops, fresh vegetables, mashed potatoes and split pea soup served with crumbled blue cheese salad couldn't have been better. Fresh ingredients, great wine and excellent service will keep us returning again and again.“

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

“What an exceptional dining experience in every way! So happy Marche is back and the best ever. The menu is seasonal and innovative. We split the little gem salad..so fresh with the best dressing and the lardons were perfect. I had steak and my boyfriend had cassoulet. We could not have been happier. I honestly think Marche may very well be the best restaurant in Marin!“

“The food, the presentation, the service.“

“I have eaten at Left Bank Brasserie many times over the years, as my son lives in Larkspur. Have also celebrated several milestone birthdays there. The food has always been first rate, and the service impeccable!“

“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.

“I cannot tell you how much I love this new French restaurant! It is like having a bit of Paris in Marin. The food is amazing - the best croissants outside France. The salads and crepes are divine. The service is excellent, especially Stella!! I am so happy we have this new restaurant!!“

“Excellent service and food. We were a group of 10 and had made two separate reservations of 5 each. When we arrived we were able to all sit together. Very attentive staff. Excellent ambiance- door/wall opens to outdoor, so both indoor and outdoor seating. Again, food was excellent. Our table ate a variety of dishes and everyone was pleased and had enjoyable evening.“

“Lors de notre séjour à San Francisco nous avons découvert Le Marais Bakery. Nous avons ADORÉ, la nourriture est délicieuse et le service vraiment très chaleureux et très professionnel. L’équipe est souriante et au petit soin. N’hésitez pas à vous arrêter pour déguster les délicieuses viennoiseries et/ou les autres plats proposés, vous ne serez pas déçu(e)s!!“
