“This is our “go to” place in Sausalito for my wife and I so we decided to take our visitors from Canada here. Everything was going well until my order, the bone in veal chop special, arrived more than 5 minutes later than everyone else's main course. The issue is that when my order arrived, there was a barely an apology or any offers to adjust our bill. Sad.“

“Had to stop and use the restroom when the freeway got too jammed to wait so, detoured and purchased some giant cookies as away of saying thank you for one, being open in a very commercial area with limited options; two, for letting me use their restroom and three having very reasonable prices and a friendly demeanor.
Oh, the cookies were great, too!“

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.“

“Watershed Chef Kyle Swain is the best in Mill Valley!“

“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!“

“Great Food Great Vibe😀“

“On 4th Street in Downtown San Rafael is a narrow building that’s home to a great breakfast place. We visited Lundy’s Home Cooking on a Saturday morning and were seated right away. There are a couple tables in the front window, several tables for 2 along the side wall and counter seats overlooking the grill.

I ordered the Omelette with Chicken Apple Sausage and Cheese which was served with potatoes and choice of toast; my wife ordered their Eggs Benedict, also served with potatoes and toast. ass

Service was prompt and friendly and the food was delicious. In my omelette, the sausage (and cheese) was plentiful - and the potatoes were just as I like them, slightly crunch. My wife ordered their traditional Eggs Benedict. Now I know she is a Benedict aficionado and particular about the dish - she said it was very tasty!

They have quite an extensive breakfast menu - with some unique choices like Fajita Omelette, Irish Breakfast, and a Chorizo Scramble. We’d happily return for a breakfast in the future.“

“Place was a little difficult to find. Google maps a little confused. But stay strong it will be well forth it. Great service from owner & her daughter Breanna & Vicente & the cooks & staff. Excellent food. Very delicious. Great diner with beautiful old school counter. Highly recommended!!“

“Easily one of the best restaurants in town. It's dimly lit and there's a great local vibe about. I guess I'll never not get nervous when an attractive lady sits next to me. I'm just happy that I didn't spill my drink. Maybe if she wasn't so attached to her phone I could have made eye contact. Great Chicken Sammy. The fries were a bit salty but the barkeeps were the bomb. Keep up the good works folks!“

“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.“

“I'm not an innout fanatic. I like them just fine. Is Habit Burger good? Yes. Love the fact that I can add bacon and all the sauces. I alsoLove the pepper bar. But in terms of price? In-N-Out wins. So value wise In-N-Out wins in my opinion.“

“I tried the buffalo wings here and they were amazing! Super crispy on the outside and juicy inside. The sauce was just the right mix of spicy and tasty. You can choose how spicy you want it, which is great. The staff is really nice and the food came out fast. The place has a chill and fun vibe — perfect for hanging out with friends. I’ll definitely come back again. If you love wings, you should try this place.“

“If you're thinking about a place to have a party, I can't recommend Ounces enough! Waz and his team were so lovely to work with, and they helped plan the perfect afternoon. Lawn games, tasty food, delicious sips, relaxing atmosphere, and friendly service.

Outside of events, it's also just a fantastic place to drink a cold beverage in the sunshine. I've taken a book with me and relaxed on the lovely patio, during the times I wasn't there with friends.

This place is truly a hidden gem at the Northgate Mall.“

I cannot get enough of the prime rib, the veggies were perfectly Al dente and the service superb!! Thank you Marin Joes for yet another wonderful meal!!!“

“Our wedding reception (hosted here) was absolutely epic! The entire experience at Sweetwater exceeded all our expectations, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.

The staff were exceptional--professional, attentive, and so genuinely fun. The service was impeccable, and they made sure that every detail was handled with care and efficiency. We felt incredibly supported throughout the entire event.

The food was truly delicious! Our guests were raving about how good everything was. We had fun putting the menu together, we appreciated the suggestions. It all came together amazingly.

The vibe was on point! The lighting on stage during performances was perfect--creating a magical atmosphere that complemented our theme beautifully. The way everything was set up was just right and made the evening so special. We especially appreciated being able party late - the fact that we could stay until 1am was very unique for a wedding venue. It made for an extended night of celebration and joy that we will cherish forever.

The planning process was smooth and enjoyable. The team's dedication and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the evening, and we couldn't have asked for a better venue to host our wedding reception.“
