- Ccalimom55vipSan Francisco Bay Area •26 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoThanksgiving at Insalata was delightful! The food was delicious: from soup to nuts (and beyond!) everything was well prepared. The turkey was moist, the green beans were done but still firm, the wild rice stuffing was a new take on an old favorite and the two slices of sweet potato were the perfect addition to round out the entree. Soup, salad and nibbles (warm olives and candied pecans) captured the season and the pumpkin pie (what can I say--on Thanksgiving, I'm all about tradition!) was just the right amount of sweet to balance the deliciously savory meal! Will I return? Yes, please!More infoInsalata'sPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• San Anselmo•4.8

- 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: Moderate• undefined• Corte Madera•4.7

- 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•4.7
