Food was decent but the emphasis was on meaty dishes, and I'm more of a fish and veggies gal. This normally would mean I'd order the eggplant parmigiana, but I went for the salmon, and it was okay... Decor is very TJ Maxx adjacent with lots of Sinatra velvet paintings. Would come back for martinis.

I skipped the salad and asked for extra soup instead, and they served me a big bowl. I added fresh avocado, and it was absolutely delicious. The quality and flavors are better than ever.

Purchased a French dipped sandwich listed at $18.95. Asked for one (1) extra au jus…read more Someone else picked up for me and was extremely disappointed. They charged us $31.95. Received (3) extra au jus and assumed they charged us for them like $6 each!!! The au jus wasn't even au jus. It had no taste and looked like beef pan drippings mixed with water-gross. The roast beef was full of gristle and fat. The original Sam would be so disappointed. His restaurant is now overpriced and the quality of food has gone down. Won't be going back.

I typically get…read morebreakfast but the other day I decided I wanted something different so I ordered Philly cheesesteak sandwich and it was delicious. I went back the following day just to get another sandwich. The stuff are so accommodating. So very friendly. We've been going there so long. They know us by our name. They could probably tell us our order also. My husband likes to get breakfast there. Typically he gets the eggs benedict which he loves or he gets the eggs Florentine. Everything comes out so nice and fresh. But you definitely have to try their fresh squeezed orange juice. It's to die for!! So if you're in town in Novato make sure you stop by. There is seating inside and outside.

Since he wasn't home yet, we decided to enjoy the beautiful weather, sit outside, and grab a great meal. The service was amazing, and the food did not disappoint. The bacon is absolutely phenomenal you have to try it! Everything was fresh, delicious, and served with a smile. Great atmosphere, great food, and excellent service. If you're in Novato and looking for a good breakfast spot, I highly recommend stopping by Bacon. Keep up the great work, Bacon. We hope to be back soon!

I met up with a friend for lunch at Creekside Bakery and we both left really happy with our meal…read more We sat outside and I appreciated that they had blankets available for guests. I ordered the carrot soup and my friend got the egg salad toast. My soup came in a really generous bowl, so generous that I actually had leftovers to take home. It was comforting and flavorful, and perfect for a lighter meal. I also ordered a lavender latte that was absolutely delicious. For dessert we shared the princess cake, which was definitely the highlight. The whipped cream layer was so light and airy and balanced perfectly with the cake. It wasn't overly sweet. Overall it was a really enjoyable lunch and we both agreed we'd definitely come back to try more things on the menu.

Amazing food! I have been coming to Creekside for 35 years…read more Warning: Don't ask for any adjustments though. When I asked them to warm up my pastry that I ordered, the person at the cash register "Alejandro" shook his head, gave me a dirty look and rudely argued that it was warm enough. This was done in front of a long line of customers and it was quite embarrassing.he continued after my roll was taken to the kitchen to mock the request by shaking his head and talking to the other coworker next to him which just stood there. Needless to say, this has not been the first time his moodiness to his customers has been witnessed. Bummer the welcoming committee is what it is since the rest of the experience is AMAZING!!!! This place is a gem other than this on and off experience witnessed personally and observed happening to others.

Chunks of tender and crispy potatos with and chunks of corned beef..topped with sautéed red peppers and onions. Then they have the nerve of crowning the mound of beef & potatoes on hot skillet with 2 poached eggs!!! Delicious!! I loved the chunkines...I want to be able to bite into the hunks of unshredded beef and potatoes. Roasted Brussels Sprouts $16.00. This is a winner!! The Sprouts are over roasted on a iron skillet. You can taste a bit of crispy char. There are soft caramelized onions and real bacon bits added. All is tossed with balsamic vinegar. And its good vinegar... real good balance of sweetness and tart... then you bite into a bacon bit...now its sweet, tart and salty...so wrong in a really good way. 1 order of Ruben Rolls $10. You get 2 Ruben Egg Rolls cut into 4 pieces and 1000 Island dressing on the side. I am not to thrilled with dish. Rolls wonton type wrappers and is filled with a mixture of shredded corned beef and sauerkraut. The Rolls are Then deep fried and cut in half. I am not fan of shredded anything, not my texture of choice. The flavor is little a bit lacking... I cannot tell the if I was eating corned beef or roast beef. Our Server Steph S was amazing. She was helpful and engaging. Thanks for helping us with out spilled water!! Men's Room 1 stall 1 Urinal 1 sink Looks pretty clean, but there is a slight sour dirty mop water like smell.

We were in the area looking for a late dinner and were so glad to find Finnegan's Marin. Some pub…read morefood sounded really comforting after what had been a long day for us with little food in our stomachs. It was a Friday night and they had live music going on. I really liked the cozy pub atmosphere. They even have a table in the back of the restaurant with a sign saying "Worst Seat In The House," haha! Service was quick and friendly. We started off with the arugula and beet salad since we were starving, and we devoured it. We also ordered the pot roast and the bangers and mash. Both were delicious and comforting. The pot roast was fork tender and I really enjoyed the savory, tart sauce it came with. I also really enjoyed the gravy on the bangers and mash. We had a good first impression of this pub and will keep it in mind when we're in the area.

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!
