Kids sorta goes with my whole angle about San Rafael. There’s these gems. Maybe it’s just my having not spent all that much time down here since kids, moving north, etc. But this place is definitely one I’m coming back to. Stopped in cause I missed my train (new commute). Ok that experience alone I’d give it 5: friendly, just talkative enough (think: reads room), easy. But listening to other patrons was what got my antenna up. Those already seated + those just coming in. The staff treat this little (footprint) restaurant like it’s better than Il David. And it might be: I only had 2 (excellent) glasses of wine. The food menu looked great. The staff greeted people, sat them, tended to them, explained specials in a way that I know *i* would have appreciated. I left before it could get busy. But it just felt like an experienced FOH staff.

Very nice and cozy restaurant. Great wine and the food was delicious. Got the famers market veggie risotto, the pizza and a yummy chocolate mousse

This is a rare gem in San Rafael. Amazing atmosphere, food, cocktails and service. I was so impressed and one might say I’m not easily impressed. Loved it!

Very very tasty food! Every time we come here, we love what we get. Sitting at the chefs table is always fun as well!

Great experience and incredible food last night. Two of us shared the meatballs, Brussels, and pork chop. Wow!

The food was absolutely amazing. The mushroom risotto was among one of the best dishes I have ever had. I would definitely recommend this restaurant for romantic evenings, the ambience is beautiful. We sat inside by the window. Would love to go again.

Sat for 30 minutes while the servers tried to figure out who was going to wait on me then server I did get took the order and I never saw her again after I got the food. This reflected in my tip. Shame though I wanted more wine and coffee and dessert. People need to understand there are more restaurants all over the place can go anywhere really

Delicious food prepared with great care, fresh ingredients and creativity. Comfortable and welcoming atmosphere, helpful staff. A lot of deliciously prepared polenta in their dishes. Not an extensive menu but great options that include sea food and a special of the day. All very nice.

Amazing cocktails, wine menu, top notch food. I love sitting at the bar by the open kitchen but it’s also a lovely, intimate setting for a date or a quiet conversation with your best friend.
