I always like Timber and Salt. The service is always excellent and the cocktails wonderful. The food this last time was not at the caliber I expect at Timber and Salt. Some of the food was not as fresh as I expect and The Brussel sprouts were not prepared like I've had them in the past. I will try Timber and Salt again - but it was not up to what I expect there.

About the restaurant

Welcome back Chef Rodriguez!

As Chef Jose Rodriguez puts it aptly: ''When I am not in the kitchen cooking, I am experimenting and reinventing myself continually. I don't know any other way to feel alive.'' After a long hiatus, Chef Rodriguez returns to Trapeze where he always felt at home. Under a new management, Jose is granted the opportunity to express his creativity in his work freely. With years of experience and much amassed recognition in some of the most well known Michelin Star awarded restaurants in the Bay Area, we are all excited to see what wonders he will bring.

''In addition to my regular menu, I'm trying what I call approachable foods - simpler in some cases and more sophisticated creations in other'' said Mr. Rodriguez, who has been working as a private chef and caterer for over 20 years.

For reservations larger than 10 or for private functions please contact the restaurant directly.

The staff was very welcoming and made the entire experience very enjoyable. We had a very generous waiter who made sure to meet our needs and was very friendly. You could feel the history in the building and the food was exquisite. We loved the carrot soup, beet and orange salad, halibut, chocolate soufflé, and creamsicle tart.

Even nicer than our first visit a few months ago. Full bar now which is good. Love that there is a happy hour, however, IT SHOULD be extended to beyond the bar (since it is from 4-6 when the restaurant is not busy during dinner hours. Some items are a little pricey. Food is very good, nice ambience. Great service.

We met friends for Happy Hour on Memorial Day and sat outdoors. Service and food was excellent. we had anticipated we would order from the regular menu as well, but the Happy Hour offerings were so delicious and surprisingly large that we were too full to order more. Especially enjoyed the fried Calamari - it wasn't greasy at all and super fresh. Drink options were great and the service was so attentive. I've need to the other Left Banks in Marin and I can't say I know their Happy Hour menus are all consistent, but this one is a hit.
