A lovely experience--a neighborhood place with a Parisian feel. The endive salad and the burger were outstanding. Not to mention a creme brulee in pastry I've never seen before! We'll be back!

We just had a delicious dinner at Le Marais in Mill Valley. Their brunch and lunch always hits the spot and now we know that their dinner is just as tasty. We had the endive salad and tuna tartar for appetizers and the salmon and roast chicken for our entrees. Everything was excellent including the service. The vibe in the evening is also very charming. It definitely felt like we were eating at a neighborhood Paris bistro.

This is a wonderful gem of a restaurant. During the day, a lively, buzzing cafe then transforms into a neighborhood comfortable French experience that makes you feel welcome with beautiful food, soft music, great wines and joyful professional not stiff service. Look forward to going again soon!

Great food in a cosy setting. Food is French/European in style and tastes. Food is tasty and well presented. Given the limited food outlets in MV Le Marais is a welcome restaurant. Service is good and the nice thing the ambient noise level is perfect to converse with your fellow dining guests. I’d recommend le Marais.

The Friday night we went to dinner there was only one wait staff on the floor. Needless to say we had to wait awhile before our order was taken. Our server was very apologetic and offered a complementary tasting of wines (they were out of Pinot and Cab). We ordered the onion soup, cheeseburger, and lamb with polenta. We didn’t have to wait long for our food to arrive and everything tasted great. In fact my husband wants to go back so he can order the lamb for himself. Our server Hilda was lovely and we will be coming back soon.

This was ok. Our starters never arrived and we didn’t see our waiter again until our entrees were brought to the table. We ordered the crème brulee for dessert, it came in a puff pastry that was completely burnt. By then we were ready to leave so we didn’t send back, just picked around the burnt edges. The interior is quaint although chilly. Unfortunately, I wanted to love this place based off their Instagram and the menu but I wouldn’t return for dinner. Daytime fare and service might be better.
