Great food, drinks and excellent service provided in multiple languages by the waitering staff! :)

Delicious, freshest food every time! A wonderfully varied menu, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere!

This is a cool little spot in Fairfax. The service, food, ambiance, and location are all great. Fairfax is kind of out of the way, but worth the trip! read more

The service of welcoming was just awful, disrespectful and rude! The server on 09/14 was sitting down having breakfast in the dining room and another party including ours was at the door and he just said "sit anywhere" without getting up. Then I waited 10 min for him to come and ask if I wanted coffee. Then when my guests arrived she asked if he could recommend a dish without butter as she is vegan and he said " well you tell me what you want"! Unacceptable! read more

On my day off I took a little solo "progressive lunch" journey where I like to stop along the way in Marin County and try three or four different places. My first spot at Strawberry Village was disappointing, so I popped in here and was greeted by the ever so friendly and humorous server named Ty. I love his energy and ability to work the whole room in an efficient manner. I had the $17 pancake with tax, tip, etc. I really enjoyed it and watching the floor show put on was quite entertaining! I arrived before the crowd started popping in, and then it quickly picked up with hungry, eager customers. Next time I'll have a real meal, but I might have to stop at the bank first. Great spot, terrific service, nice environment, easy to park across the street in the free parking lot Fairfax is a terrific town to browse through as well. I stumbled into "Sonas" across the street and had a great conversation with the proprietor GERRY. This is a hipster, eclectic clothing, boutique for women and men. A must stop when in Fairfax. read more

We were recommended to this restaurant by our neighbors, they've raved about it for at least a year and we finally made it on a Sunday afternoon. We were seated immediately upon arrival and given the option of indoor or outdoor seating. Ty was our server and our service was great. I wanted an apple martini, they were unable to accommodate the apple but Ty made me a custom mango martini which was tasty. We ordered a Reuben sandwich with chili cheese fries, and a rosemary chicken sandwich with fries. I did not try the Reuben sandwich but the rosemary chicken sandwich and the chili cheese fries were both very flavorful and there was plenty of chicken in the rosemary chicken sandwich. We'll definitely be back. read more

stopped by for a quick bite after a long day of hiking and taking our doggies for an adventure. I ordered the pesto fettuccine & had plenty of leftovers for me to take home. We sat outside the restaurant on the patio with plenty of shade. The service & staff were awesome, patient, and brought our dogs water unprompted. Such a thoughtful gesture. We also tried some corn bread at the time which was devoured by my husband, he was a big fan. Also ordered a margarita, was delicious, balanced, & crisp/refreshing. the bathrooms were clean, the dinner crowd was coming in as we were leaving & it looked lively. hoping to stop by again for future trips. 5 stars from me & the doggo read more

Located downtown Fairfax in a really cool neighborhood. There is a big parking lot across the street with free parking. The cafe is right on the corner. We were able to get a table in the morning without any reservations. Ordered: 1. Corned beef breakfast: I liked my corned beef and i liked that it was in big chunks rather than it being really fine strips were it's soggy and mixed into hash browns. It was seasoned well and went well with the potatos. Also cooked my poached eggs well! 2. Egg Plant sandwich: My wife really liked this and the eggplant wasn't too muchy but also very flavorful. Overall, service was good and they were polite and attentive. Clean restaurant. The prices on their website isn't reflective of their menu however and it's more expensive on the updated menu in the restaurant. They also do have more options in the restaurant as well. Solid breakfast choice in Fairfax. read more

Had the best omlet I've ever had here! Chef Tony came out and made sure we liked everything, love the vibe as well!

The food was absolutely amazing, the service was fast even though it was a hopping Saturday night, and the chefs were zipping through orders. Tye, our server, was friendly and kind and on top of refilling waters, offering drink suggestions, and grabbing to-go boxes before we even asked for them! I had the chicken parmigiana, which was light and flavorful, and the steamed spinach that went with it was delicious (and I HATE cooked spinach, but gave it a try and actually enjoyed it for the first time ever!) The andouille sausage that was served with the pesto risotto was smoked and you could really taste it, and the spicyness was just perfect. The pesto sauce was heavy on the pine nuts in the best way. It wasn't oily or heavy on the basil or garlic like a lot of pesto sauces can be, and that left the risotto so light and almost citrusy. My cousin had the harvest garden dish, and they were stunned by how delicious it was. As a vegetarian, they are particular about their veggies, but everything was 'perfectly cooked'. At the end of the meal we were surprised by the panna cotta with the fruit remoulade, which we devoured in like three minutes haha! We really enjoyed all of the food, the service, and the ambiance. We only wish we lived closer, but might make the 90+ mile trip from Sacramento just for the amazing food now and then. read more

Not sure how the ratings are so high for this place. The food is overpriced for what it is, bland and mediocre. The service was slow and they had forgotten our drinks. The location and ambiance is nice, but that's about it. read more

Amazing food, excellent service, reasonable prices and generous portions. Had an amazing time for lunch in the patio. Great experience.

Cornbread was amazing. Service was good although there were only two tables occupied. Portions were generous and we all enjoyed our meals.

Good Ruben with a great side salad, ample portions. Service was attentive and not intrusive.

We went for the first time on a Friday night and sat on their lovely deck. Service and food were excellent quality. A party of 3, we had grilled salmon served with large array of veg, very large, greens salad with currants, pine nuts and perfectly dressed, out of this world steak....thick, well seasoned and juicy...literally the best steak we ever had! Huge side of thick, perfectly grilled asparagus came with steak. We were so happy, we returned 2 nights later and had very good cioppino (could use a bit more wine), linguine with pesto sauce and artichoke which was nice and garlicky and a bottle Roth Cabernet (delicious). Even the outdoor picnic tables on deck are more comfortable than they look. Just go...you will be glad you did. read more

Very good breakfast and lunch . Solid brunches with good service also good for visiting guests

A wonderful breakfast in the adorable little town of Fairfax. This is a very clean restaurant that is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Their menu is well rounded and the service was both attentive and thoughtful. I'm sure the lunch and dinner experience is equally good, and I'm excited to return soon. 5 stars. read more

Food was pretty good but extremely pricey for what I got (chilaquiles, waffle and cappuccino). Nice, lively location with outdoor seating and the waiting staff were all really nice, but most likely will not be coming back. read more

Tony, the owner, has created a wonderful place to break bread- whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner. The food is wonderful, the service fabulous and the portions (especially for lunch and dinner) are huge! Plan on taking half your meal home for the next day. The restaurant is a labor of love for Tony. He is ALWAYS there, paying attention to all the details to make sure that everything is just right- whether it be the daily fresh flowers on every table, the quality of the ingredients, the seasoning of each dish, or the attention that each guest receives. Fairfax is blessed with a number of great neighborhood restaurants and Bare Foot Café is one of them. read more

Decent food but a bit over-priced. Place was packed with people on Sunday but during the week the place is empty.

Barefoot Café I've always driven by Fairfax but have never stopped for a bit until today! Coming back from a backpacking trip from point Reyes I was starving. I got the Barefoot Special (20.95), which came with sautéed mushrooms, onions, and blue cheese. The portion was generous, with a hefty 1/2 pound of meat, but it was a bit too overbearing for my taste. The side Caesar salad was a nice touch, adding a refreshing balance to the meal. The sautéed mushrooms were done well and added a good depth of flavor. Solid meal overall. Staff were wonderful as well. I don't think I've ever had a burger that filling. read more

It's a nice place for breakfast, particularly if you're sitting outside with a pooch, which we were. I liked my breakfast tacos and they were made better by their pretty good salsa. Just a good California style diner. read more

Food was very tasty. Flavorful, although the corned beef on the surf and turf Benedict was blander than on the corned beef hash dish. The Dungeness crab was a maxing flavored and tasted great. I highly recommend and I regret not going for the Dungeness crab scramble. However I am a corned beef hash connoisseur. Next time! One thing to note for breakfast items is one of the "toast" options is a sweet scone with lemon curd. It was a fantastic idea, and plan to take advantage on my next visit. On my first visit I always evaluate brunch with corned beef hash. The corned beef portion was generous but a chunkier than I liked. I liked the flavor, but some nah argue is salty. The potatoes were flavored nicely with equal crisp exterior and soft interior. It was cut larger than I expected, so it was hard to make my open face sandwich. The service was agreeable and kind, and gave strong European vibes. They served you but left you alone to enjoy yourself. It felt comfortable. The decor and uniform was also Euro-style. I really liked it. Interior and exterior seating with cover to block sun. We sat inside but the windows open (but inward). I can't wait to go back to try the other menu items! I forgot to order the panna cotta but will do so at another opportunity. read more

Went here for the first time tonight, and Ty was super friendly and sweet! Enjoyed our meals, and thanks for the tasty panna cotta treat!

This place was phenomenal. We were visiting town and came in on a Friday night. We were greeted with smiles and welcomes from the owner, the wait staff and the cooks. The owner hand delivered food to every table. On top of that, the food was incredible. To top off the night they gave us a complimentary dessert and a small cup of dessert wine. Really nice atmosphere, great food, wonderful experience. read more

We stopped in for a quick and simple dinner but we were so pleasantly surprised! The food was incredible! The chicken Marsala (shown), New York steak with herb and lime butter (so unexpected and delicious), rack of lamb and bucatini with meatballs were all extraordinary! Ty was our waiter and was friendly, knew everything about the menu, and gave us great suggestions! Perfect evening out! Highly recommend this place read more

Firstly, the ambiance is lovely. It has the vibe of a small European town cafe and American diner all in one. We ordered hamburgers and a benedict, and we had no complaints about anything. I especially recommend the sweet potato fries and garlic fries. The service team is also friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this spot! read more

I had a great lunch meal here! However, I came in around 2pm and my server was fantastic and attentive but after his shift ended and he left, I noticed I was ignored by the new waiters and the experience went down after my original server left for the day. I had to stand and flag the person behind the bar for more service. Food was so good that I feel sorry for leaving the less than 5 star review. read more

Easily the best Italian food in Marin! We especially love coming here for brunch. The staff is so friendly and service is always great. We love the outdoor patio and cozy vibe. Can't go wrong! read more

Our waiter was immediately very welcoming and friendly. The restaurant itself has a beautiful ambiance, and while I visited at night, the brunch menu looked delicious and I think it would be the perfect spot for a Sunday morning. I got the fettuccine pesto pasta, which was delicious. The complimentary cornbread we received on arrival was also a great start to the meal. The portion size was also wonderful for the price. For coming so close to closing time, our waiter still gave us a wonderful experience and the food hit the spot. read more

Came with my dad, my first visit. Friendly service, used our first name all night. Instead of typical complimentary bread, a basket of semi sweet cornbread came immediately. Very taste. We had Chicken Marsala and Pork Chop. Cooked well, very tasty, plated handsomely, and filling portions. Unfortunately no room left for dessert. I'll be back. read more
