    RH Rooftop Marin is an undeniably beautiful establishment, offering an elegant atmosphere and consistently exceptional cuisine. The quality of the food has never disappointed, and the ambiance remains one of its strongest assets. However, during my most recent visit, the level of service did not meet the standard I would expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Our server interacted with us only when taking our order and again when I presented my credit card at the end of the meal. There were no check-ins regarding our satisfaction with the food, nor were we offered additional beverages or basic follow-up during the course of our dining experience. It appeared that the restaurant may have been understaffed, which perhaps contributed to the lack of attentiveness. For instance, I had to wait a considerable amount of time before receiving a refill of water — a basic expectation in any dining experience. While the service was not up to par on this occasion, I remain impressed by RH Rooftop Marin’s culinary offerings and atmosphere. I do plan to return in hopes that my next experience will reflect the level of hospitality one would anticipate from such a distinguished venue.
