So seriously, this is 5 Star on selections of Cigars. Also, 5 stars on the two people I talked to…read moreon pipes and cigars. I haven't seen a collection like this in Northern California. The guy that's been there 23+ years knows his stuff and guided me to some of his recent favorites. Hendricks was the younger dude and he was really helpful as well in explaining that the pipe I got for a deal was actually a rare find. He helped me buy some new pipes to smoke from. I think if you are a cigar or pipe person visiting the area I would come to this place and look at their collection. I think the vibe and people here were really nice. I'm from SoCal and I appreciated their hospitality. I got to enjoy a small my grandfather's cigar at the high top in the back for 30 min before close. Wish this place was near me!

My family and I had reservations here for Mother's Day and we couldn't have picked a better place!…read moreThe server was friendly and accommodating - we were a large group and slow to deciding what to order. Almost all of us enjoyed their beer and a lot of us shared menu items so that we could try more items. My Aunt, Grandma, and I shared the Korean fried chicken sandwich, the pesto pizza, and one of the mixed green salads. We all agreed that the chicken sandwich was our favorite! This restaurant/brewery is also massive on the inside. There are different rooms that you can rent, they have shuffleboard and other games to play, and TVs throughout so you can watch sports if you please. Overall, this was a pretty great first time here and I'm looking forward to returning.

My hubby and daughter had never had (or heard of) hush puppies before, but loved them. (Oh- and we loved the honey butter and pepper jam that came on the side!). We then shared a margherita pizza and flat iron steak. We finished with the strawberry streusal cake. We will definitely be back.

The staff was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel comfortable right away, even though it was our first visit. The overall atmosphere was warm and inviting, giving the impression of a familiar and well-cared-for dining environment. The location itself was very nice and exceptionally clean, with great attention to detail throughout the space, which we really appreciated. We truly enjoyed our visit and appreciate the team's professionalism and warm service. We would be happy to return again in the future

First time at this location (I've enjoyed their SF spot in the past)…read more What brought us to the Corte Madera Flores was learning about the special vegan menu as we had two vegans in our party. It took almost 10 minutes after we arrived for someone to greet us- not sure why. However we were seated outdoors as we requested which was appreciated. The decor is bright with gorgeous colored tiles. The menu looked terrific, however we weren't provided the special vegan menu without asking for it. Wow, we were impressed with the dishes listed. We started with the chips & salsas- the chips were just as I like them; thin, crispy with salt. My sister had the vegan enchiladas and her husband the vegan pozole which he raved about. My son had the trio of carnitas tacos and was quite satisfied. I thoroughly enjoyed the veggie (not vegan as I love my queso) chile rellenos - they were divine. The sauce was perfectly flavored. We shared the churros for dessert- a bit disappointed as they were not crispy & a bit doughy on the inside. Our server was friendly and the prices were reasonable. All in all a great experience and would return.

The food was delicious and the staff was super friendly; not much more I could ask for! The smoked short rib pasta was the standout for me. The flavor was so rich and the pasta noodles were cooked perfectly. The salmon was really good too; tender on the inside with a slightly crispy surface. The service was super friendly and attentive, and the restaurant had a lively, energetic atmosphere. Would definitely come back if I'm in the area again!

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.

Bungalow 44 continues to create tasty and creative drinks and dishes no matter what the season…read more Drinks - King Thai'd just right, spicy and not too sweet, lovely to start with a meal but also could double as dessert. My partners margarita was good as well. Enjoyed a glass of of the Walter Hansel Chardonnay which is more of a locals kind of wine and nice to see on the list. Food - we both have enjoyed the steak frites in the past and my partner did so as well last night, subbed out the arugula salad for Caesar and it was just right. My salmon with market succotash and corn puree was a lovely combination of what spring here has to offer. The pickled maitake mushrooms added the perfect amount of acid and umami to offset the richness and keep flavors fresh. Desserts - the sticky pudding and berries never disappoint. Ambiance - please do not ever change (much), we love dining here whether it's a casual meetup with friends or a special date night. The high top bar tables could use a sanding and re sealing but you can tell they are well loved by diners :) Service - Monday night, a few delays and missteps surprising as restaurant was not bustling. But the food is so good.

This place is just ok. The food is fine but they have a front-of-the house-problem. We had a rushed…read moreand hasty server who basically processes customers in and out the door. Plus a meal runner who had a terrible attitude and unpleasant manner. He wore the chip on his shoulder like a badge of honor. Outdoor seating is, in good weather, far superior to indoors. So consider this when making your reservation because you can't switch to outside. Fully booked. I'm not in any rush to come back. Not terrible. Not great.

I really wanted to like the 2 AM Club. It should be a great spot to catch a game and grab a drink…read more I showed up during the NFC Championship game, so the place was packed. I sat right at the bar, and it took 30 minutes for one of the bartenders to even acknowledge I existed. When she finally took my order, she forgot about it and came back later to ask if I had ordered. Eventually I got my drink, paid her in cash, and left a tip. She came back again asking me to pay. I reminded her that I had already paid cash (and hadn't received my change). This was the most attention I got over the 4 hour game. That said, the bartender wasn't too busy to serve the locals at the counter multiple times, chatting and laughing extensively with the regulars who were passing around homemade cupcakes or sharing plates of food they'd ordered from the Mexican restaurant next door. If you're not already part of the in-crowd here, you might find yourself waiting a while.

Casual yet refined, it's a space that welcomes the after work crowd, the solo diner or like us, a large party meeting to catch up after the holidays.

There was barely any smoked salmon in the omelet and what was there was fishy. Waiter recommended the hash browns - mine were burnt on one side, so they served that aide down. The waiters smartly never come around to ask how the food is - cuz I'm guessing people would be returning most of the meals. We smothered our spinach and cream cheese omelet in Benedict sauce which sort of saved the omelet. Such a shame. We belong to the attached tennis club and would eat here more often but you never know if your meal will be worth it or not. So we usually choose to just have a drink after playing at the bar and skip the food.
