Best Healthy Restaurants in San Rafael

We enjoyed a delicious lunch served by ,Enrique, who was professional, welcoming, attentive and friendly. The local Fanny Bay oysters were delicious, chilled with mignonette and cocktail sauce. Escargot were delicious and served with toasted bread. Outstandingly different were some of the best calamari ever! Served on a bed of mustard aioli, perfectly tender, well fried with onion strings and string beans. I would go back for the calamari alone! Not a pear lover, Enrique, ordered the crab salad for me with a Dijon dressing instead of the pear vinaigrette. The crab was fresh and delicious but frankly, not enough of it for $35. Also had the Cassoulet which was delicious but contained only one piece of very fatty duck. Both the crab salad and the Cassoulet were daily specials. Despite nitpicking of these last two items, the food here gets our highest rating. They have a lovely wine list and since we were celebrating a big anniversary we had a delicious sparkling rosé and an outstanding glass of Frank Family Chardonnay. A very satisfying experience all around dining at Left Bank, Larkspur….the original!

We had five hungry people at our table ages 73 to 24. Everyone found something delicious to eat from the sausage pizza, mushroom fritatta, chicken salad, and seared salmon with the broccolini and roasted brussell sprouts. It was gloomy and grey outside with intermittent rain, We split the chocolate & oreo profilteroles and key lime meringue for dessert. The service was excellent and our waitress smiled often. Highly recommend!!

We celebrate all our special occasions at Insalata, including using the banquet room for a major birthday party, bemuses of the total experience which includes the food, wait service and atmosphere of the restaurant. It's our favorite restaurant in Marin.

Cozy Outdoor Dining with Excellent Food & Service We had a wonderful dinner here before a show at the Marin Civic, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Although it was a busy night and we made a last-minute reservation, we were lucky enough to get a table on the patio. Despite it being December, the outdoor heaters made the space incredibly cozy and comfortable — we didn’t mind the chill at all. The atmosphere was perfect for a pre-show dinner, and the staff, as always, provided excellent service. The food was delicious, and we appreciated the consistent quality that this place is known for. I’d happily dine outdoors again, even on a chilly night, as the heaters and the ambiance made it more than pleasant. Highly recommend for a casual, yet quality dining experience!

Very healthy food in a comfortable environment. The bar is outstanding as are the servers. What more could you want
