    Highly recommend Insalata's. The server was friendly, efficient and understanding of the logistics of a big table (11). We sat down to dine at 9pm because we had come from an event, and we never felt rushed, we took our time and had a great meal. Food: - The Wagyu beef was excellent, from Snake Hill Farms. As I knew where it came from I had it rare and it was just right. - The grilled chicken marinated in yoghurt was tender as always. - The pasta was great. Portions are generous.

    The ambiance is extraordinary. You are seated in a roof top glass garden overlooking the world, with a breathtaking view of the mount Tamalpais . The service was impeccable. The server, Toby, was exceptionally welcoming and courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, with the food being of exceptional quality and the service being outstanding. We will certainly be back.

    Very french. Feel like you’re in Paris. Limited menu but we both enjoyed what we had. Helpful wait staff. When we first arrived the music made it hard to hear each other and we are both slightly hard of hearing. We asked them if they could lower the music and they turned it off. So appreciated!
