This is my first year of adding the Novato, Art, Wine and Music Festival in my summer festival…read morerotation. Usually I'm a fan of the San Anselmo Art Festival, which was cancelled for 2017. Overall, this isn't a bad little festival. It's free and there is street parking nearby (2 hour limit) that is also free. You could do worse on a nice sunny, not too hot/not too cold Marin County Saturday. The booths were of similar style and quality as many other festivals in the Bay Area during the summer months. There were a few unique vendors and I ended up purchasing a tank top with a manta ray design (I mean EVERYONE needs one of those) and a small giclee print on canvas of a vintage Yosemite travel poster. I didn't partake in the food or wine, but it seemed like the usual street fare. The crowd was having fun and overall it was a nice little community event. I can't say I'd travel too far to attend but if you're in the area, it could be fun to stop by for a little while and see the sites.

We got a chance to make some new friends, enjoy great music, taste a variety of delicious food and drinks from local vendors, and even try our hand at some arts and crafts!

I really enjoyed learning about each of the vendors and trying out new things!

We said hey, let's go to the Village. I'm so glad we did, we've never eaten inside before, just take out and once outside. The place is very cute, stylish, I'm not sure how to describe it, but I like it. My breakfast was delicious I had skirt steak with fries and eggs. The steak was excellent, great flavor, fries were very good, eggs were perfect. Little late on taking pics. Sorry. I was hungry. My fiance had the Monte Cristo, I've never tryed it until today. So good. Great flavor, the ham was good and the French toast bread. Yum! I was like why the jam? Well at the end of the sandwich i found out. We ate every bite. I also had a Pineapple drink. Very refreshing. The restaurant was nicely decorated, relaxing, comfortable and clean. Thank Angel for excellent service, as well as the nice young lady that sat us down. Good experience I'd be back for sure for breakfast. I will be coming for eating in pizza and drinks next. Thanks for a great breakfast.

The crispy calamari is sooo different from what I have had, the spices make it a fun, flavorful dish. My daughter order the chicken masala that was perfectly seasoned and it comes with beautiful perfectly cooked zucchini half moons, and pasta with pesto which is a plus. My son had the chicken Parmesana which he devour with so much enthusiasm that I can bet he didn't wanted to end. I had the amazing seasonal salad with burrata and watermelon, out of this world! They serve fresh backed bread with a dollop of butter. My grandson tried the Alfredo with chicken which is the reason we go to this restaurant in the first place and to close with a golden broche, he had a scoop of vanilla ice cream topped with real whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup, just what we all needed .... lol Keep up with the good work, Novato will thank you !

The hot entree was kept separate from the cold appetizer. Once home, we were disappointed to see that the food didn't look like the photos on the website. The lasagna was good, according to my husband. There was no bread, as was promised. The carpaccio was still chilled, but was gray, very tough, and had a rancid taste. I tried a piece and have been ill all day. For the price, and for spending my day in the bathroom, I can't recommend this place for takeout. I think eating in the restaurant would be a better choice. The restaurant had only one couple seated at a table. The servers were trying to get the World Cup on the TV. Only the hostess and kitchen staff were working, but it was just before 6 pm. Because of the other favorable ratings and our previous experience years ago, we will try again and dine inside.

Yelp to the rescue!…read more It was stank-ass, 100° F, hot-as-dammit out for the California Beer Festival - Novato. Yeah, sure, it was all the beer you could drink. But in those conditions, you gotta have water or you're not making it through all 4 1/2 hours of beer tasting. & that would be a travesty. Fortunately, Kevin B., Yelp North Bay's intrepid CM, was manning the Hydration Station & passing out bottles of refreshing cold water. For free! That's right, free! Needless to say, he got bum-rushed by the hundreds of CBF-Novato attendees & eventually the free water bottles ran out. But hey, it was free, 1st come 1st served, while supplies last! & did I mention that it was free? Free cold water at a beer festival on a really hot day? Yeah, I'm a fan of that!

The lines for the food and beer were long even though the place was not that packed. I think I would attend again however I will do the following. BRING WATER!! You have to wait in line at food stand for water (30 to 45min). The hydration station was sold out of water two hours into event. Bring lawn chairs and umbrellas. there was very little seating around the music area. Even though I was critical of event I would say this is a great way to spend the afternoon if you are really into micro brews. Remember a good beer taste great even in the crappiest of settings so you cant really loose.
