Best Date Night Restaurants in San Rafael

Food is quite good. Reception and wait staff need more kindness training

Wonderful menu , from appetizers to main courses to desserts , you can't beat anything on it.. we have always enjoyed eating here. Service is exceptional , not intrusive but very attentive. this restaurant is a Gem in San Anselmo .

We were made to feel welcome the moment we walked in. The staff is friendly. The interior was so Christmasy with a fire going in the fireplace and a magnificent tree that smelled heavenly. We had appetizers, cocktails and entrees that were all tasty. Entrees were served nice and hot. We were not rushed at all. Highly recommend. We have been going there for years and have never been disappointed.

First impression: restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. Will definitely return for dinner to see the chandeliers sparkle, and during the summer to sit outside. Let's just say, I'll be back. 3 of us shared the shrimp appetizer (perfectly cooked & seasoned), and the fries, one had a burger, a gem salad and Lobster Roll. Delicious. Don't skimp on dessert! We shared the chocolate chip cookies and the butterscotch crème brûlée.

What a pleasant surprise to find Paseo, in Mill Valley. It is hidden on a paseo (hence, the name), off the street, but well worth finding this gem. Personally, finding a restaurant that serves a farm grown local Pork Chop with the bone in is a success, but to find one that serves a Chop perfectly cooked, hot on arrival, and absolutely delicious is wonderful. My wife and family ordered the Seared Ahi, and the Mac and Cheese--both were exceptional. And the service was first rate--very attentive. We even met the wonderful chef, Anjelica (sp?), who was warm and wonderful.
