32 Best Wine Bars near San Rafael

“New Delhi has hands down the best Indian food in Marin IMHO, great for vegetarians! Service is friendly and delightful , and the food is excellent, with each dish having a unique flavor profile. Lunch buffet often has more unusual seasonal dishes, as well as the classics. Buffet is an incredible deal with lots of dishes, Chai, salad, samosas and pakoras, pickles and dessert all included, and delicious. Did I mention that prices are really reasonable? What's not to like?“

“Wonderful food and service. Highly recommend!“

“Stopped by recently on a hot summer day for some gelato. Talk about a perfect repast to beat the summer heat. I had hazelnut and mango, and the portions are very generous. I didn't ask, but I think they make the cones in-house. Anyway, strange combination, I know. The mango was immediately delicious but I think I messed up combining the two because when it came time for the hazelnut, I was too full to truly enjoy the depth of flavor. Next time, I'll get it to take home. I love the location, it's in one of my favorite areas of San Rafael with shopping, good food and entertainment in abundance. Haven't had the pizza yet, but I'm a New Yorker and we're picky about our slices!“

“Delicious food! Very unassuming, we were so happy we stopped in, food and service were top notch 🍝“

“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!“

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

“Mog Asu Wine Bar in Tiburon is an absolute gem and a true 5-star experience. The wine selection is incredible, thoughtfully curated from around the world, with something for every palate. The service is exceptional, and the owners are some of the kindest, most thoughtful people you’ll meet. Their knowledge and passion for wine really elevate the entire experience.

The space itself is everything you could hope for: beautiful, inviting, and perfectly designed for a relaxed yet refined evening. This is exactly what Marin needed. I can’t recommend it enough!“

“How many restaurants in the Bay Area have an average rating of five on Google? This is the most understated and absolutely best restaurant in Marin. Why? What matters to me is the combination of unique and innovative food, service, and atmosphere. You can get one or two of these many aces, it's hard to find all three. Add to that that you get to sit at the counter and watch the chef prepare all your meals. And that there's only room for ten people every night. Chef Lance and Yo explain everything and the time just flies when there. We made the mistake of not ordering the caviar sampler. But when I saw how it was served to another guest, I knew I had to have it next time. You will not be disappointed.“

“First time at Zinz wine bar and my hubby and I will
be back! We were welcomed by Jason and he made us feel right at home. Jason took great care of us and he really made the experience feel special. We sat outside and enjoyed the live music performance and meeting new people. Kyle’s famous dip & chips are amazing! Great wine bar. We live in SF and love finding gems like this!“

“I came here after a great dinner at the Thai restaurant within walking distance. The wine and beer selection was right up my alley, I had a wonderful Malbec then followed it up with a local craft beer and left having made new friends with some of the locals and the owner Tony.“

“Kelly and Gisele are the best! Squalo Vino has a great energy, excellent rotating selection of high quality both by-the-glass and on the bottle list, and an awesome wine club! Tasty small plates to keep the party going. A must visit in Tiburon, even if you only have time for glass!“

“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!!“

“Highly recommend this hidden gem!
We had a wonderful Father’s Day dinner here, and everything exceeded our expectations. The waitstaff and the friendly girls at the door who seated us were all fantastic—warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Everyone took the time to explain the specials and answer questions, which made the experience feel personal and special. 
The portions were generous and the food was incredibly fresh and flavorful. As a nice touch, they even took a Polaroid picture of us with their own camera to commemorate the occasion—what a thoughtful gesture!
This was a great dinner overall, and we’ll definitely be back. Perfect spot for a memorable meal with family. Thank you to the whole team!“

“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!“

“I’m so glad we found this gem of a place in San Anselmo! My wife and I live in Brooklyn and come to the area every year to see family. This bar/ hang out spot is one of the most welcoming spaces in the area. The mid century / south west aesthetic instantly adds a coziness element. The staff are super kind, the drinks are so fresh and creative, and the pop up food was packed with flavor! Shout out for the space being very sensory friendly- large ceiling sound proof panels and wood on the walls to absorb noise. I will be back!“

“I had a mother daughter getaway for two days. And I have to admit the highlight of our trip was coming to your Tasting room. Karen, introduced us to some lovely wines, she was so inviting, very knowledgeable, and most of all very fun! As such. We went and saw her all three days we were there!“

“We were seated quickly and re River our food not long after:). Best pizza we have had in a while.“

“What a lovely wine bar + bottle shop in beautiful Tiburon! Very stylish and swanky inside with plush oversized chairs. The owner, Linda, has curated a nice selection of wine by the bottle and glass. We enjoyed a vermentino and marzemino (indigenous red grape from NE Italy) on one of the outdoor tables. Perfect way to spend part of a Saturday afternoon!“

“So good tried a classic & a square pizza Recommendation from our Genna server. Definitely be back soon.“

“food is top notch and the bar always manages to overcome being buried!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Had a really lovely meal at this place. The wait staff is attentive, down to earth and low stress. The food is delicious. We had a big family group so I got to taste the oysters, pain (it’s sourdough) & beurre, chèvre, pâté de campagne - all were delicious. For my main I had the confit de canard and it was tender and flavorful as it should be. Nearly everyone else had hamburgers and there was not a single bit left on anyone’s plate. We had a vegan at the table and she was happy with the vegan burger as well. I don’t think she tried the chickpea fries - somehow they disappeared before she could get any. Dessert was crème brûlée and the red wine soaked fruit du bois. I enjoyed everything about this place, not the least of which was the easygoing atmosphere and location. Worth every penny!“

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

“A lovely dinner at Beso. It's an unusual location, situated as it is on Hamilton base. The food is delicious, and the service was very attentive. My friend and I sat out on the deck and it was a beautiful evening.

I highly recommend the Pavlova for dessert. It's amazing!“

“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.“

“Yesterday, my sister and I had the BEST table at the Iconic Spinnaker Seafood Restaurant in Sausalito - the at table at the far corner facing San Francisco! WOW - What a beautiful and clear day, with just a 'hint' of fog over the Golden Gate Bridge to the ocean side. The food was Fabulous - mine was a 'classic' "Crab Louie," with lots and lots of wonderful crab, and Tiramisu for dessert! Our servers were Alex and Francisco ("Francisco:))" who attended to our every need - even politely and notably giving extra time, as I was Determined to enjoy EVERY bite of my more than delicious, Crab Louie!! With a menu that is FULL of Classic Bay Area Seafood offerings, an Iconic setting and ambiance, and Incredible view of San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and The City, I would change nothing about my visit! Thank You Spinnaker for a More Than Memorable Bay Area Experience!!“

“Wow! 5 stars all the way! I had the perfectly-cooked scallops over vegetables that included chayote, cauliflower, and others in an absolutely delicious sauce. (As an aside, the grandkids loved their hamburgers.) We ate outside, and the service was thoughtful and prompt. What a find!“
