    ESQUITE
    amy T.

    We celebrated a birthday here and overall it's pretty solid for Marin mall food. The service, however, was disappointing--our server seemed constantly busy and like she could have used more support, which made the experience feel a bit off. We also had an issue with timing--our entrées didn't come out together, even though it was still early and not very busy, which was frustrating for a group meal. I ordered a hazy IPA, which came in a can with a glass of ice and a lime--an unusual presentation. Drinks were good but it was interesting that they don't have beer on tap especially since they have a large bar! Food-wise, we ordered the ceviche along with salsa and chips, and both were really tasty. The tacos are especially yummy and definitely a highlight. They have mole and solid enchiladas. While the food and drinks delivered, the service and a few inconsistencies kept it from being a great experience.

    Food was amazing. Stopped by there during happy hour and we loved it. Service was stunning and quick Ambiance is lovely . Enjoy sitting in the patio and catching some sun.

    One mistake I always make, is forgetting about Flores. Throughout the years I randomly pop in, the service is friendly and quick, flavor is consistent and authentic, and the fun times are had. Great esthetically pleasing decor-upscale Mexican. Need to know: HH 3-close Monday AND Tuesday, then 3-6 Wed-Friday (at bar or lounge area which there is plenty of space). They have an extensive HH and range of options + other deals throughout the week, like $2 off Tacos on a Tuesday. Stop by, you won't be disappointed.

    Nice bar area - no tv's

    You simply cannot replicate these dishes. (I've tried and I'm not even close.) Everything coming out of that kitchen is on point, consistent and just hella fresh. Hats off to you guys, Bràvo! The staff is real and present and it's just a pleasure to be here. We do happy hour usually and just love the options. My favorite is definitely the Mezcal selection which rotates often and offers flights, etc. Easy... Pick Flores, it won't disappoint.

    A fun Valentine Day brunch with hubby. Flores Cocina & Bar - Authentic Mexican Corte Madera Bartender & Server - Sam and Alo was great in making great drinks and recommend what to eat. Totopos Tortilla Chips, Trio of House Salsas De Flores Margaritas Mezcal, Cointreau, Lime, Orange Andariega Diego Rosa Gin, Brooker's Gin, Pamplemousse, Raseberry, Egg White, Lime, Orange Bitter Dos Tacos - Carne Asada with pico de gallo Chicken Tinga with pickled red onions The decor of the place was so commfortable and relaxing. Beautiful paintings on the wall. A must visit place.

    Perfect for a relaxed brunch with friends, sharing plates, grabbing guacamole and salsa, and celebrating book launches (Book Passage is somewhat around the corner). I usually skip ordering typical taco and opt for 3 fish seviche (so fresh!), sopas (yummy!) or huevo rancheros if I am especially hungry. This is a fun place to go with a group so you can try a little of everything. Also very dog-friendly, which adds to the vibe. Great stuff and service.

    Amazing service thanks to Álvaro! Álvaro, our bartender/server at Flores Restaurant, was absolutely outstanding for our date night He was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely attentive throughout our visit. He took the time to explain the menu and made excellent recommendations that were spot on--we loved everything he suggested. His professionalism and warm attitude really elevated the entire experience. Service like his is hard to find, and he truly made our night special. We'll definitely be back and hope to be served by Álvaro again!

    Ceviche de hongos from the vegano menu

    I am always impressed with the vegan and vegetarian dishes here! Tonight we had the vegan 3 Tacos Plate (beyond sausage-potato, mushroom and nopales al pastor, avocado and slaw) and the Enchiladas Vegetarianas (mushrooms al pastor and nopales). In the past, we have also loved the Ceviche de Hongos (king oyster mushrooms, avocado, cherry tomato, burnt tomato agua de chile, crispy corn) and Chile Relleno (poblano pepper stuffed with queso oaxaca, mushrooms & kale, topped with spicy salsa ranchera, avocado, crema, rice). Thanks for making eating vegetables and plant-based food so flavorful and elegant, Flores team!

    We visited around 5pm and the bar was quite lively with many patrons. We selected a booth in the back so we could chat more easily. The menu is not your typical Mexican restaurant in America menu; it has very inspired dishes. For starters, we had the huge serving of guacamole and 3 salsas. We later chose the ceviche and mole poblano. They also have a short menu with just vegan choices including churros.

    Carnitas bowl!

    I suggested Flores for a work lunch today. The burrito was tasty and I think everyone enjoyed their lunch but I was disappointed with presentation. The burrito's arrived double wrapped in foil as if they were to go. That seemed a little odd and not appropriate for a sit down lunch. I also looked forward to a basket of chips and their delicious red salsa, which was not offered. They did have the little wagon wheels on the table and brought extra salsa upon request. The service was a bit reserved, not as outgoing as I recall. I feel complacent now especially since I suggested we dine here. 4 stars would have been too generous of me based on today's experience I'm sorry to report.

    Updating my original review as we had a most redeeming and amazing dining experience at Flores! My husband and I had dinner here last night, and it was the dining experience we needed. We ordered off of their Vegano Menu, which has some seriously impressive culinary delights! Everything was superb. The service was fast and impeccable. The ambiance was great. The quality and taste of the food were beyond drool worthy. The drinks were beautiful, and just strong enough. Big thanks to the manager Jordan, for his warm and personable attention. We will definitely be dining here on many more date nights!

    Habiscus Agua Fresca
    Blair P.

    We came in around 6pm and sat at the bar. Our server came over right away, was friendly, informative and knowledgeable. The aesthetic inside reminds me of beachside Tulum. We ordered the chicken tacos plate with beans, salsa and spicy veggies, the flautas de chorizo, and sopes de frijoles with avocado and lettuce. We paired it with the habiscus agua fresca. Delicious all around. Great spot.

    Tres leches
    Jennifer L.

    Best plantains ever! This was our fourth visit to Flores and we were sad we never ordered their plaintains until now. They were perfectly carmelized and delicious. We also ordered the parrillas mixta for 2 which was a generous portion for 2. Everything was cooked well, but the steak was a little gamey and perhaps not very fresh. We ended the meal with delicious tres leches which was also a generous portion to share. Finally, service was prompt and tables were cleared in a timely manner.

    Ask the Community - Flores Corte Madera

    Is happy hour in the bar only or can you get the specials when dining as well?

    Are reservations needed?

    No, they aren't "needed." I've gone before as a walk-in- But always better to have reservations ! You can make them on the Open Table app.

    Are they pet friendly here?

    Yes but for outdoor dining only.

    Is the to-go packaging sustainable?

    Yes, the majority of our to go containers, including utensils and bags, are certified compostable. We only use plastic containers on certain items, such as for very hot items or soup.

    Is there Mariachi during dinner?

    No unfortunately...

    Where is the outdoor seating and can I bring my dog there?

    There is a small outdoor patio and while we were dining inside we watched several people carry small dogs in or out of the patio. Don't know the policy regarding larger dogs as the patio entrance is through the dining area.

    Do they have food to go?

    Yes! And it's awesome to go as well.

The Niçoise salad is a beautiful and unexpected salad with a fusion of chimichurri, traditional flavors, delicious salmon, and deliciously cooked fingerling style potatoes. This salad was worth the trip and we'd return just for this! It was such an interesting and delicious fusion! We also had the fish and chips which was traditionally prepared with a side of delicious fries. The fries were not really British style of chips but a signature style for the restaurant which was very nice. The fish was perfectly cooked and delicious as well. The side of slaw was light, refreshing, and delicious on a bed of lettuce. Exactly what you'd want with the heavier fried fish. There are a few things that hold this place back and may ultimately seal its fate in closure. They have nothing to do with the food or service which was very good as noted above. This review if 5 yelp stars for good reason. But, if Bazille wants to survive and thrive it may want to consider some modifications in concert with the Nordstrom store itself. This isn't really about the prices. They were not out of line for local dining of similar far. However, in a department store setting you want the dining experience to be a loss leader / lead magnet to get shoppers in and keep them longer. And, inside there should be SOME link to the store. Why did no one offer to help me find the purse my wife was shopping for that day? Why was there not a thank you coupon for dining good only for this visit (kind of like parking validation but for shopping). We were not offered a coffee or tea. For the fee this would cost nearly nothing an make the upscale Nordstrom experience, which we LOVE, all the better. The franchise is leaving a lot off the table here and there's no reason economically. Why are the sales people on the floor not offering a free desert to try out the restaurant? I think you get my point by now. The experience is disconnected from the Nordstrom experience. Much more can be done. The experience, and it is meant to be an experience like the Nordstrom experience. It does fall a little short there. Look at Restoration Hardware's efforts. You literally sit in their furniture which you could purchase on the spot if you wanted; for example. You dine on their dishes... etc. Back to the prices. I could go to any restaurant nearby for similar prices and fare. So, subsidizing with accoutrements or just money would fill the seats. The place is nice. The staff is nice. It's just bolted on the side as an after thought and that may be its undoing over time. That would be a shame because the intent is clearly something more.

She was super accommodating and attentive without being overbearing. Once we told her what we liked, she immediately knew what to recommend and guided us through the menu perfectly. You can tell she knows her stuff. We came specifically for happy hour (we're definitely HH aficionados) and made it our mission to try everything on the menu. While the chips & dip were good, they're something you can find elsewhere, so not necessarily a standout. Everything else, though? OUTSTANDING! The hummus, whipped feta, and muhamarra were next-level--easily some of the best we've had. The CN burger sliders were also a hit--we had one each and they were so yummy that next time my husband is already planning on getting two. The drinks were on point. The espresso martinis absolutely fueled our afternoon in the best way, and we also tried the creamsicle cocktail and the shrimp Za'atar from the regular menu--both were super delicious in their own way. The ambiance was great, and the bartender was clearly on top of things, which always adds to the overall vibe. One thing worth noting: happy hour is now only offered Monday-Thursday, but Sydney was kind enough to honor it for us on Saturday since the website hadn't been updated yet. That level of service really sealed the deal for us. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish--great food, great drinks, and even better service. Easy five stars.

As for the food, we got the tartare, crab empanada, bungalow Benedict, and the phyllo crusted pork chop. The tartare was fresh and not fishy at all, but was missing some salt. Crab empanada was great. The cilantro avocado puree and aioli complemented the crab well. Eggs Benedict was standard. It was nice that it came with a model bakery English muffin, but nothing stood out. Pork chop was fried very well. Crispy exterior but soft inside. It was a pretty hefty cut as well. I expected more from the taverna fries but it seemed like standard frozen fries. The chimichurri sauce was good but had an aioli texture, which was weird but still good taste wise. To end, the butterscotch budino was fairly light and had a good sweetness. All in all, the lunch was still enjoyable especially with the view. I do wish there was that wow factor in some of the dishes to better match the price.

    My wife and I had the occasion to stop by The Speakeasy a few days ago. We were just looking to…read morehave kind of hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail and just hang out together, because we found ourselves with a rare four-hour window where the kids were occupied and we could just do whatever we wanted. This was a nice way to spend a few hours. The space is neat. It's as small, somewhat dark ambiance with the windows blacked out. So, you do loose your sense of time a bit inside. That's actually nice as it feels like you went somewhere/somewhen else for a while. We had a Manhattan and a Kentucky Mule, and, additionally, we had three different shareable appetizers. First thought, we ordered and devoured a really exceptional cheese plate. I know cheese plates seem a little meh sometimes, but this was really good! I would absolutely order it again. In fact, I would definitely go there just to have the cheese plate again with a drink, a glass of wine. We also had the three tacos shareable. There were three tacos that were stunningly good. Lastly a dish with some little steak medallions and a shrimp. Each of these was about two bites and the flavor and texture was excellent. All three of the shareables and the drinks were exceptional. I have to call out that, with the cheese board, came a little loaf of bread. That bread was really good all on its own. I would definitely want to eat it. I can still taste it. It was really good, but my wife, she's gluten intolerant. They offered, because she couldn't eat the bread, they offered to also bring her out some gluten-free crackers, so she got to enjoy the cheese board just the same without the bread. They gave her the crackers, and do you know, they just gave her those extra. They didn't ask for something more. They didn't do anything. They just took care of her. I really appreciate that. I have to also give a shout out to the Jessica. I don't know how she did it, but she was taking care of the whole room of tables I think. Nice. We ordred all three shareables at the same time and she thoughtfully said, 'do you mind if I course these out for you?' We said yes and she did. I don't think anybody felt like they didn't have everything they needed, so a shout out to you, Jessica, really well done. We're grateful for the service and the high quality dining experience that you gave us on a moment's notice. I hope we can visit again soon. And, especially we want to check out The Boardroom soon. NOTE: This is in a kind of older looking strip mall. Don't be concerned about that at all! It threw us off a little at first and we did wonder when we pulled in though if we were in the right place. Happily, we were!

    Tucked away in a Novato strip mall but out of site from the surrounding streets, odds of chancing…read moreupon The Speakeasy are slim. Attached to The Boardroom restaurant, The Speakeasy is a real find featuring a wonderfully robust appetizer menu, a full bar, and a daily happy hour menu that applies mostly to alcohol purchases. If you're looking for wine here, the bar offers a variety, with the house wines - excellently priced at $8-$9/glass - comprised fully of Rutherford grown grapes. Somebody here knows what's up. A friend who'd talked up The Speakeasy for years is besotted by the Marsala Sautéed Chicken Livers ($11) on the bar menu. Not ever a fan of liver, I avoided sampling his until we'd collectively polished off an order of Baked Goat Cheese ($10) and a trio of Pulled Pork Tacos ($13). He'd grown full and much liver remained which is when I learned that I do like chicken liver. Or rather, I like chicken liver as prepared at The Speakeasy. All of the above pretty much had me fan-girling out over this place but then this happened: We were done, requested our check, and were told that someone that evening had picked up the tab for the entire bar, something I've not experienced in my lifetime. I already liked The Speakeasy a whole lot before learning my food and drink were free of charge. Like changed to rabid fandom when this occurred. I know that I can't expect a full repeat of this experience but even if it's just chicken livers and Cabernet, that'll be enough.

    We so seldom come to Marin County, mostly because of the dreaded traffic through SF and then of…read morecourse the dreaded GGB traffic, but we were here for a birthday party in Larkspur and picked the Guesthouse after a little research. What a find! We loved everything about it. Here's how we dined: Skinny Marinny ( a nightly special and I don't remember what was in it, but it was good and not too sweet): 3.5 stars $16 EASY MONEY gin | basil | lime | grapefruit : Very tasty 4.5 stars $15.5 Oysters; 1Beau Soleil, 1 St. Simon: incredible fresh and briny, loved the cucumber granite. Special Tomato Salad: 4.5 stars $18 A very scant name for a delicious combo of rich and creamy buratta, heirloom tomatoes and a pesto dressing. Not really the best time of year to make tomatoes the star, but the combo brought out their best. Wood Grilled Duck: 5+ stars $47 I was a little worried that wood grilling might dry out the duck, but this was probably the best duck I've ever had. The leg was tender with crispy skin and the breast was wonderfully juicy, without being too rare. the fig compote on top was very earthy and not too sweet. I even liked the roasted carrots, and I rarely like cooked carrots. Wood Grilled Sword Fish: 5 stars $41 T ordered this it was roasted perfectly. the accompanying butterbeans with roasted tomatoes and shisito peppers was not at all over powering. The service was absolutely perfect! I wasn't exactly sure who did which job, because all the servers seemed to do everything. No one said that's not my table or not my job. Now that we know it's only a little over an hour away (if it's not rush hour), I think it might become a destination meal for us every so often.

My new york steak was $51.5. My husband got duck $46.5. Taste-wise, nothing was bad per se. Everything was just quite bland and unremarkable. Fries (that came with my steak) were pretty good. We also ordered separate truffle fries, which was good for sharing. They had a 'tonight's specials' menu. We tried the Kampachi crudo, which was very underwhelming. Pretty bland, small portion for $24 (4 small pieces). I don't feel like the seating set-up is super optimal for groups larger than 4. We had a group of 5 and we were put in a booth, it was pretty cramped and hard to hear (as it was pretty loud). Our servers were great, though. Good service throughout.

    This place was such a fun surprise. The location is really accessible, with street parking…read moreavailable, which made getting there easy. I honestly didn't realize how much I'd enjoy playing pinball until coming here--there aren't many spots that have that kind of unique feature anymore, and it really added to the experience. I went for a Yelp Elite event, and it was great. The owner was there and super welcoming, and his staff were genuinely nice and attentive. We were given bracelets that gave us access to two drinks, which was a fun self-pour experience. That said, it would've been helpful to get a quick tip on pouring (like tilting your glass) beforehand--foam can sneak up on you fast , especially with so many people around. Because it was busy, we were also given a card that allowed unlimited access to the games, which was awesome and made the night even better. I definitely enjoyed my time here. The owner also mentioned that you can rent individual tables or even the whole venue for events, which is something I'd absolutely consider in the future. I'll definitely be back.

They had huge tvs playing sports which entertained the kiddo quite a bit. Breakfast Bravas ($19): The crispy potato coins + pork + runny egg + avocado + chipotle cream = elite combo!!! Stateroom Burger ($20): Cheese is not included and is an extra $2 (???). It was stacked though and hubby could only eat half before he was stuffed! I will absolutely be back for the bottomless mimosas ($25) and I'm curious about the dirty iced chi tea ($14). My daughter also loved all the magnets on the fence in their mini play area :)

Water and coffee quickly followed and I perused the menu. Diverse options and interesting creations. Recommended by my server, I went with the celery root potato pancakes. They were a revelation as was the whole experience. The homemade green hot sauce was available for personalizing your flavor profile....highly recommended! (I asked if I could buy some to take home.)Comfortable spot in the window, the vibe is quiet, confident, and welcoming. I don't think you could go wrong here. Hope you can try it soon.

My boyfriend's eggs were runny despite having asked for them to be scrambled hard. My niece didn't like her pancakes, and the group generally felt the food was bland. The service was also spotty. After remaking my boyfriend's eggs they forgot his toast. Then when the toast came they forgot the jam. The waitress didn't ask about drink refills, though she did refill my coffee. The ambiance was fine, but not the special holiday brunch spot we had imagined. Next time we'll find a different Larkspur restaurant.
