Best Historic Restaurants in San Rafael

We had a wonderful waiter!!! He just made the whole experience so enjoyable. That feeling actually started st the front when we checked in. As always, Perry’s looked festive and beautiful. I took my 6 year old granddaughter and the crayons and coloring menu were a big hit.

Poggio is my go-to restaurant. It never disappoints. The food, the service, the ambiance are all top notch. My return guests from out of town always request at least one meal at Poggio. First timers have remarked, “if only we had a restaurant like this back home”. Well done!

Best holiday dinner in the city. We were seated right away. Had martinis that were perfect. Dinner was delicious and served quickly. Our waiters were great about suggestions and appearing whenever we needed them. The whole staff was in a holiday attitude and it showed. We love this restaurant for its food and atmosphere. Always take visitors here for the San Francisco local experience. It’s a treasure.

Festive and delicious. No wonder the place was so crowded on a Monday evening! Especially appreciative that we were able to sit a great table in comfy chairs by the piano area. Beet/mango/fennel/etc. salad & seafood risotto were outstanding, as was the service.

A while back, I cannot book reservation on Open Table app the time we wanted but I still booked at a later time. When I called the restaurant directly, the hostess was able to adjust the reservation to the time we wanted. We arrived to our reservation at 12:30 pm today. The hostess Daria was so accommodating when I asked to change our table to a better view of the water. The server was nice explaining the good red wine on the menu according to my liking. I ordered the recommended Meiomi red wine. It was light to my taste which was good. My friends got white wine and Irish coffee. For starters we ordered the Horseradish Deviled Eggs with Bacon and tasted good. My friends ordered the same Crab Cake Benedict and Classic Eggs Benedict. I got the Pan Seared Jumbo Sea Scallops over the risotto. The whole food was delicious. The interior ambiance was beautiful. The service was superb. A few times I visited the restaurant in the past and I don’t mind returning for occasions or just to hang out with girl friends. I recommend The Trident restaurant even it’s a drive to Sausalito from different angles of places.
