    It was our 50th wedding anniversary and they provided us with a beautiful table by the windows to look out onto the bay. The food was very good and I highly recommend the clam chowder. It is the best. Our waiter was very friendly and funny and I would love to go back again to enjoy another evening. Thank you Trident for making this night for us so special.

    We greatly enjoyed our valentine's day dinner at Piatti in Mill Valley. This was our first visit. We had a reservation and were seated next to the window with a lovely view of the water and Mt Tamalpais. Everyone from our hostess to the server to the manager who visited our table were polite, friendly and on top of things. I had the Chicken Mattone Puttanesca - the chicken was a very large portion and cooked perfectly. The sauce was nice but could have used more vegetables. My wife had the eggplant parmesan (her fave) and said it was excellent. Flourless chocolate cake was delicious. Despite it being a busy night for them we never felt rushed. Our overall experience was excellent and we will definitely be back. Highly recommend!
