    My food was cold (I ordered the scallops on Parmesan grits) and quite expensive. The dessert trio didn’t seem fresh - the custards were shrunken and had condensation on top. The wine pour was small for the price. It’s a pretty restaurant and I love the way nutritional information is displayed on the menu, but the food just doesn’t seem as good as it used to be.

    MVK hosted a “traditional brunch buffet” on Mother’s Day, which is a departure from their typical weekend brunch menu. I have to say it was amazing! An incredible selection of their staples and my favorites, alongside some incredible lunch and dessert options. Well done, MVK - you always impress - and you made this Mother’s Day special for our moms and guests!

    Mill Valley was the perfect venue for our lunch, quiet enough for us to talk, food and service were superior. Training of the staff is top notch. Can’t wait to go back

    Amazing experience, will definitely be back. Just moved here from California and this reminded me very much of a typical California restaurant. The food tastes very fresh and they had great menu options. I love that they put the calorie content among other nutritional information right on the menu helping you make better choices. I don't have any dietary restrictions or preferences but they do cater to gluten-free and vegetarian and I haven't found many restaurants here that do. There's parking in the back which is a plus though it was pretty full, I still managed to get a space. And you must try one of their cute little shot glass desserts. Just the right amount to satisfy my sweet tooth without packing on a lot of calories and cost! I look forward to returning even with the half hour drive!
