“Muy recomendado para cualquier ocasión y la atención es excelente !“

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

“Great food and service. Great presentation“

“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!“

“The food is sooooooo delicious. We tried the Duck's Curry, Yellow Curry, Pineapple Chicken fried rice, Chicken fried rice, Salmon rolls, and Chicken Potstickers. All was amazing! Definitely order your curry with rice. Server was sweet and friendly.“

“Such fresh good food. I made my own scramble it was beyond delicious!!!“

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

“I had a great experience at Angela’s Ice Cream. Their service really stood out—they happily let customers try different flavors before deciding, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The ice cream was some of the best I’ve had, and our server was especially friendly and welcoming. Her warm attitude made the whole experience feel personal and memorable. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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 :-(“

“I was enjoy my lunch today“

“Had a great dinner date with my wife after a long day walking at the zoo and land's end. Service was great, very attentive from the young lady. Pizza was totally shareable. Caesar salad had excellent flavor. Get the tiramisu. It's so good. We would definitely come here again. The interior was a little warm for me, but it was fine.“

“I really like this cafe which sells authentic Yemeni snacks and drinks addition to the usual fare you would expect in any good coffee shop. The ambience is very open and welcoming with a few sofas to sit on if you want to feel extra comfortable. It's located in a vibrant area of downtown San Rafael.“

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

“Best Mexican restaurant I’ve been to so far in the US.“

“Cute wine bar with open interior and small outdoor area facing the street. If it's good weather and you sit outside, it reminds me of a quieter cooler new york summer eating outside.

Food is ok, not amazing. The pictured salad was mediocre and the salami thing was too salty without enough stuff to balance out the salty. The wine was yummy but I'm no wine connoseriur.“

“stopped in here for an afternoon beer or two with friends before a hotel check-in. For some reason the bartender kept leaving the bar to go in the kitchen and had to have another front of house staff member go get him every time we wanted to order. All the staff was nice enough and tap selection was excellent and diverse. A cool spot with standard beer garden style tables and benches, a pirate ship playground, a nice interior with lots of seating also and lots of heaters for the cooler evenings. A solid spot to drink day or night.“

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

“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🥰!“

“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......“

“Very nice place with a great vibe. Jose was incredibly gracious and welcoming. I stopped in to pick up some food to go, but ended up having a drink and really enjoying the atmosphere. It happened to be my birthday, and somehow they knew...it was a thoughtful touch that made the experience even more memorable. And I already had some of the food, and it's quite delicious. I'll definitely be back. 💯👍🏻“

“Found through a map search. Completely GLUTEN FREE! Interesting combinations of healthy ingredients, friendly staff. Worth a stop simply to check out the artwork!“

“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!“

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

“Good atmosphere Great food and service“

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

“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!“

“visiting from Portland and trying to dine local. This place was clean, prompt service and the food was so fresh and delicious. Looks like a place lots of locals come, always good. Good dog watching.“

“💯💯💯💯worth the short wait ..authentic deli has returned to marin !“

“The steamed clams and mussels were the best I've had in years. Perfectly cooked, not overdone and small like so many places. The ribeye was delicious and the mashed potatoes that came with it were perfect 👌. Fish tacos were complex and delicious. You can tell they have an artist back there. Service was great and added to the experience ❤️. We went with a toddler and sat outside, luckily most people were inside, but they were very kind and seemed to enjoy her antics which always makes it more enjoyable for the adults.“

“Love the place.“

“Awesome coffee and a very comfortable space to sit and enjoy the coffee.“

“Lunch buffet is really good and at a fair price.“

“Arti Cafe is a hidden gem and I can't stop thinking about the food.

Came in after a week-long retreat and this was exactly the meal I needed. The butter chicken was rich, warming, and tasted completely homemade. The naan was perfectly pillowy. The chaat, bhel puri, and red mango were all incredible — fresh, vibrant, and full of flavor. Everything felt genuinely healthy without sacrificing any of the taste.

But honestly what made the experience was SUKHWINDER! an amazing host with a warm, welcoming energy that made the whole meal feel personal. You can tell this place is made with real love and care.

If you're in Marin and you want authentic Indian food in a beautiful, relaxed setting — do not sleep on Arti Cafe. Already planning my next visit. 🙏“

“I keep on thinking I’ll get a photo of the amazing baked good but I eat them too quickly.

Unbelievably good bread and pastries. 🥐

Highly recommend trying the cheesy pull apart 🤤 and the almond banana bread… oh and the swirly spice… and the cinnamon toast …

Did I mention the coffee is also excellent??

Run don’t walk!“

“Their sauce is truly outstanding; you can taste the quality tomatoes. I had the some like it hot and added their house made vegan ricotta, which was creamy, mild and a great complement. Love that they’re vegetarian—whole family ate a meat-free dinner?“

“Outstanding, quality meats from experienced and knowledgeable butchers. Very friendly service and accommodating. My go to butcher!“

“love love love it here! my mom and I stayed in fairfax for a whole week and we ate here several times. food is amazing, atmosphere is amazing, staff is amazing. special shout out to our main man Ty who remembered us by name and was always super fun and friendly every time we came in. he may even play you a few songs on his guitar if you’re lucky. this place was definitely a highlight of our trip and i’ll miss going there when we leave. we could also tell that this place is a huge hit with the locals which is always nice to see. thanks for all of the great food, drinks, conversations, and songs Barefoot Cafe! until next time! -Ebony“

“phenomenal pizza, great comedy show!“

“First time here, just moved back to the area. It’s Wednesday sun is shining and they have great beers! Service has been amazing, saw some negative reviews and not sure if I got lucky because of the timing.
Not very busy, a couple of TV’s for sports, honestly for me love this atmosphere. Oh and big plus they are dog friendly. You will enjoy your time here if you are not in a rush or trying to be too “Marin”“

“Delicious and extraordinary.“

“Kati is an excellent bartender with great skills in talking to people and making drinks. As a former bar owner, I think she is the perfect person for this pub. Don't hesitate to ask Kati what her favorite drink is! It might become your favorite too.“

“Best coffee in san rafael IMO! Lenny is really nice and always has my order ready! Nice vibe and close to my work! Highly recommend!“

“Crave spot. Try it!
Family run, small business with wonderful, healthy, & tasty food. The best spring rolls! Delicious soups, rice & noodles, curry to dream of. We never come into Marin without a stop at Kitti's Place. Great lunch spot! Arrive early, they get busy. (take home something home for later or you'll kick yourself). Love the Suthipipat family!“

“My favorite! Outdoor seating.“
