- SstacieSan Francisco Bay Area •4 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoSimply the best each visit. You are treated and fed like family in an extended dining room. The Cauliflower will remain my favorite dish on the menu. The Elkhoury rośe is also the perfect alfresco companion to their string light patio that lends thoughts of the feeling of being on a European vacation. Thank you Darren, Alesha and Team.More infoMarché RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Farm-to-table• Ross•4.7
- OTOpenTable DinervipSan Francisco Bay Area •10 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023As you arrive in the evening, the vibes are set from the get go. Cozy and classy. We brought my parents for a birthday dinner and got dressed up. Everyone is very kind. You get the sense that people are actually happy to work there. We got there early and just sat in the outdoor courtyard near the fire pits. Bathrooms are super clean. Each individual stalls. Then the food - portions are actually BIG. Shareable. And it’s actually very flavorful! So you’re not getting ripped off and trading vibes for flavor. It’s actually ALL there. 10/10 recommend. We were very impressed. Would love to go back during daylight hours to catch the views, but the city was actually very clear, lights were glimmering. It was a lovely evening :) thank you!More infoRH Rooftop Restaurant MarinPrice: Expensive• American• Corte Madera•4.6

- CMCarolynMCalifornia Central Coast •4 reviews4.0Dined on Jan 1, 2023We sat outside on New Year's Day after a great hike in the hills above Larkspur. It was a beautiful day and there were heaters near the tables which took the chill off. We brought our 2 dogs and the waiter brought water for them. The beer was cold, the food was hot, the atmosphere was great.More infoPerry's on MagnoliaPrice: Moderate• American• Larkspur•4.6
