    What a fantastic market in town. My sisters and I decided to grab sandwiches before a hike, and boy what a great decision! There was a wide array in the deli selection, from making your own sandwich, or premade sandwiches. Also there were many options of pre-packaged food items. I got the Tenderfoot sandwich and it was delicious!! The mango lime mayo is such a nice touch. We didn't try anything from the bakery, but next time I'm in town I definitely will need to try a cake!

    2/20/2023: I specifically visited Mill Valley Market for coffee; however, all the coffee dispensers were disappointingly empty. Aside, I noticed Mill Valley Market's Patrons eating their deli meals outside . . . Which IMHO, the deli selection didn't appeal to my tastes at all. Overall, Mill Valley Market's grocery selection is small; however, I didn't notice a plethora of organic produce or products.

    Do not buy this wine!

    This wine was recommended by the staff-had a nice write up..."6 generations" blah blah blah. But had high rating from this staff and like to support local growers. Literally so much added sugar I couldn't even drink a glass. Spent $100 and was the worst bottle I've ever had. Tried calling multiple times to have the store take down the hand written blue sign recommending this bottle. Shame on you seriously. Yes I did spend 100 on a bottle of wine, but you just lost my business forever. Stop carrying this crap or take it to $30 which is the appropriate price for this garbage. Beware of this store's overpriced propaganda! Never again!

    Delicious made to order sandwiches. The dessert choices are to die for! Love that they have lots of individual servings to choose from. I had the butternut squash soup. Very flavorful. It's my go to place for lunch after a hike! Friendly service and the store is always clean!

    This is the cutest grocery store that combines local and gourmet goods. We popped in here after a hike and were on the hunt for lunch. We got one sandwich and some chili. Everything was pretty good, but not amazing (3-4 stars for the food), but we ended up doing some grocery shopping as well and that was 5 star quality. They have a great butcher and fresh veg. To note they have a fair amount of outdoor seating, however, it was raining so we had a car picnic!

    We only stopped by for a sandwich and chips. I ended up buying some cheeses too and they had a nice variety. The Sammie's were delicious and they had a wide variety. The con is space is limited and it can be busy on a weekend. If you can place your order in advance that will help.

    The food offerings at this establishment are highly enjoyable. The staff members are courteous, and the overall ambiance of the market is quite delightful.

    The deli here is awesome! Great place to refuel after a hike. Great selection of sandwiches for everyone. Grab a drink and sit outside. Will definitely be back.

    Tuesday, August 4, 2020. During our "Therapy Tuesday" hike, we were headed to Muir Woods and my former boss, who used to live in the North Bay, wanted to grab a bite to eat before the hike and told us to stop at downtown Mill Valley. Appropriately named Mill Valley Market, we moseyed on through and headed towards the deli counter. Now being in Marin County, I immediately noticed their products were more on the upscale part and high-end items from caviar, mousse, pate, smoked salmon, cold cuts, wines and cheese. I expected the sandwiches to be on the pricier side, but to my surprise, most were under ten bucks - and they have 'The Daily Deal' special of Pastrami Sammich for $6.99. My other friend and I both chose 'The Daily Deal' and got everything with it, which had tomatoes, lettuce, onion, mayo, Swiss cheese and several slices of pastrami with your choice of bread. You also have the option of having add-ons and meat and cheese toasted. I opted to have mine cold while my friend chose the latter. We ended up eating half of the sandwich just outside a small park and saved the other half for the hike. It's not a humongous sandwich, but it was pretty good for the price point. Besides, it was very tasty and adequate. For $6.99, it was a good sandwich and they also had other kinds of sandwiches, which looked just as good. If you're in a rush, they also have other pre-made sandwiches, wraps, salads and other to-go foods available at the counter. If you want a picnic that's a little bit fancier, or some snacks on the road, they have plenty of items to choose from. It's a nice neighborhood market with lots of history and plenty of charm. Wouldn't mind paying them another visit the next time we're headed to Muir Woods, Mt. Tam and Muir Beach.

    Love the market!! This is a place for rich folks and tourists alike. We ordered two sandwiches for lunch along with two salads for the following day. It was over $50. We also looked around the store. Prices were crazy, for example, black beans were $4.59 a can and peaches were $8 a pound. Local folks were actually doing their regular shopping. The sandwiches were excellent and fresh. The salads were just okay. Another interesting fact about the Market is you have to pay to park.

As a combined beer garden and pizza place, it features a huge outdoor area with plenty of spaced-out seating and a dedicated play area for kids, including foosball. The food is a major draw, with pies made by SF's own Pizza Hacker. It is easily some of the best pizza in the Bay Area; we tried several varieties, including the Margherita, Pepperoni, and the Ohio. They even offer a good quality gluten-free option, which was great for my buddy. Their drink menu is equally diverse, featuring an excellent selection of beer, wine, and mocktails, ensuring there is something for everyone. While the setting is excellent, the service can be a bit spotty. The restaurant gets extremely busy, and at times it feels like the staff is simply stretched thin. We found the table servers to be much better than the cashiers at the windows, who could be a bit unfriendly. One cashier even insisted he had confirmed our order correctly when I had to correct what was actually brought to us--definitely a case of poor active listening skills. They would have received 5 stars if it weren't for the cashiers taking orders. Overall, if you go in knowing it leans heavily toward a family-oriented crowd and can get very crowded, it's a wonderful place to enjoy great pizza and the outdoors. Just be patient with the parking, as it can be a bit tricky to find a spot.

Got there around 3pm and was told that a table for two would be about a 30 minute wait, so it was not as bad as we thought it would be, considering that the whole parking lot (which was probably the only downside; it being made of gravel and without distinct parking designations making finding a spot incredible difficult and annoying) was full. The inside vibe was great, with tons of people drinking/eating and having a good time. When we got seated, we ended up ordering just a few oysters and a 3pc fish and chips. The oysters were pretty good and fresh, with a great vinaigrette on the side to pair with them. The fish and chips, however, were the obvious stars of the show. The fish were nice and golden, with a very crisp texture, and more importantly large and generous. The fries were nicely seasoned and plentiful. The fish was really tasty (you can choose the type of fish depending on what they have on hand, and some cost extra between $2-$10. We chose the standard option for the day: Rockfish), easily one of the better fish and chips I have had - just an incredibly simple, but well executed dish. While the tartar sauce was a good pairing, the real standout pairing was Hook Fish's own carrot habanero hot sauce with the tartar sauce and the oyster vinaigrette. I have never had something like a carrot based hot sauce, but it really works by contrasting the spiciness of the habanero with a slightly sweet carrot undertone. Strange, but it gave the classic fish and chips a unique twist that sets it apart from the competition. While eating we saw tons of different dishes fly out the kitchen as well, such as poke burritos, large portions of chips and salsa/guacamole, and fish tacos. After the experience we had that day, we will be forsure making another round back to Hook Fish to try some of their other options. Their fish and chips are a must.
