Second time at Perry's and had another nice experience! It was super packed because of an event, so we ended up sitting outside. It was pretty chilly, but the staff were very welcoming and immediately set up a heater for us, which we really appreciated. The food was okay overall ,I'd give it about 3/5 , but the service was great and made the experience enjoyable. I'd definitely come back again, especially when staying at the hotel next door.

Dog friendly. Great waitress! Good food. It was so nice to see deer and fawn roaming in the woods right next to the outdoor seating..

Went there for lunch to meet a friend and had a pleasant experience. I had Cobb salad and he had Rueben sandwich, both were good. We had Irish coffees and they were great! I like the overall ambiance, the Bartender was friendly and service good.

The experience here was a little different. You can eat inside or outside. I picked the outside this time, they have a lot of nature; plants and trees around. Highly recommended!

I've only been here twice but came away with the same feeling each time. Consistent, family-friendly, accessible menu, ranging price points to meet many diners, festive, cozy, warm, comfortable! Perry's comes off as a solid destination in Novato! The restaurant was beautifully decorated for the holidays and set the tone for a festive staff party. I *will* return so I can take in the ambiance a little better since both times I headed straight to the back room where my co-workers were. The LONG tables are not as conducive for us social ones but it is what it is! (lol) My group of 23 had the best service by just one server (Josh??) who never once seemed harried. (There were a couple food runners too!) NOTE: One check, one credit card. Be prepared with cash or venmo-ing someone after. :) I think we ordered pretty much everything on the menu and though I cannot speak for the group, the general consensus was everyone really enjoyed their dinners. The ONLY note that stuck in my head was the pot roast orderers wished there was more gravy. Personally, I had the Grilled Chicken BLTA without mayo and when it arrived, I was worried it was going to be dry because of how "big" the bun. I was wrong! The soft bun + juicy chicken + fresh veggies = a perfectly balanced sandwich. (Don't get me wrong, a good sauce can make it even better...I just don't like mayo.) It came with house-made chips and they were tasty, but maybe not something I'd choose next time. UNLESS it came with a caramelized onion dip (homage to the classic dip for chips) to elevate the fried potatoes. Overall, very happy to recommend Perry's and to return when in the area.

Embarrassingly for Marin, only two restaurants made the list--including Lou's. It definitely lives up to its reputation. First, yes, it takes calling often! I called on a Thursday and it literally took calling over 50 times to get past the busy signal. Once I got through, ordering was really easy. I was even able to pick my pickup time. If you can't get through, don't despair. At 6:15 when I picked up my order, people were still able to walk up and order, although only a few entree choices were left. Everything we had was just so flavorful. The fried chicken was the favorite, rhen the beef birria. But the fried shrimp (which was pretty spicy!) and herby roast chicken was also delicious.

In fact everytime I order I am amazed at the quality of the produce, ingredients and flavors. The chef has an amazing ability to satisfy even the toughest food critic in your family.

I was intrigued because they had Dutch crunch bread and as everyone knows, we all love that Dutch crunch! Unfortunately Marin doesn't have many places with Dutch crunch roll sandwiches, seems like sourdough is more popular on this side of the bridge. Finding the storefront wasn't too hard. It's located up a hill next to an urgent care. Parking was fairly easy in the structure. I ordered the Hot Chicken Club sandwich ($11.45) on Dutch crunch bread. To start, the bread was okay. Wasn't exactly crunchy but nothing like a quick oven bake at home can't fix. The sandwich lists- breaded chicken, bacon, pepper jack cheese, lettuce (romaine), tomato and chipotle aioli. I was sort of expecting the sandwich to have a bigger spice kick because of the "hot" in the name of the sandwich. It wasn't spicy at all unfortunately. I did appreciate that it was not over saucy and it was easy to handle the sandwich when eating. I was half expecting the breaded chicken to be crispy but it wasn't sadly. There was only 1 piece of bacon on the sandwich. The ratio of meat (chicken and bacon) to veggie (tomato and romaine) was fairly even. For the price and size, it was okay. It is a tad smaller than the sandwiches I've seen at other places like Michael's sourdough. The storefront was fairly large with lots of into and outdoor seating. The two people working seemed nice. Hopefully they have more influx of customers due to having urgent care nearby. Due to the location, I feel like not many people know about this place since it's not the easiest to get to if you don't have a car. Overall, I may come back and try another sandwich in the future if I'm nearby but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

It reminds me a lot of Mendocino Farms, so if you're a fan of that place, you'll probably like it here. I'm not, and that set the tone for my visit. I love Mexican food, but the authentic kind, the kind that tastes like someone's grandma made it at home. Active Culture isn't that. While I was looking over the menu, a woman walked past and couldn't stop raving about the huevos rancheros, so I figured, how bad can it be? It wasn't bad. It was a wholesome meal made with very clean ingredients, but there wasn't much sauce, and I'll just say it: it was bland. It tasted Americanized, more like a health-food take on Mexican than the real thing. For the price, which is on the higher end, I wanted a lot more flavor. Service was nice and parking was decent. If clean eating is your priority, give it a try. If you're craving authentic Mexican, look elsewhere.

The Monk's Kettle is a renowned craft beer bar and gastropub that opened in San Francisco's Mission…read moreDistrict in December 2007- The name pays tribute to Belgian Trappist monks, who historically brewed beer in kettles centuries before modern craft brewing. I've known about this old school strip mall neighborhood spot for a long time. It just never grabbed me as I kept conjuring up that "Looney Tunes" cartoon imagery from my childhood. The "cannibal cauldron" trope where the lost tourist, or would be colonizer ends up boiling with carrots and onions in a life size cauldron stirred by a local native with a bone through his nose sporting a grin from ear to ear! That racist old school imagery meant to be humorous. I passed by several times over the years, and I kept seeing in my rather twisted mind, the Dalai Lama boiling in a kettle. After all, it is called the "MONK'S KETTLE". However, lately I've been reading a lot about this place and the good reviews, on " NEXT-DOOR" and on "YELP" and on "INSTAGRAM". So today I found myself checking it out and so happy that I did. A very interesting and diverse menu to include a few items for vegetarians. I decided on this nice selection: saag paneer wrap, garam masala spinach & onions, coconut curry red lentil spread melty cheese, pressed spinach tortilla, side of cucumber yogurt sauce (v) $18. served with house pickles and chips ~ what a perfectly delicious well presented unique meal. Also, the portion was massive and enough for two people so I'm bringing the other half home.

Upon my first visit I noticed some outdoor seating below street level (in the Kaiser building) and checked it out when I was done with what I'd come for. The place was Los Gamos Cafe and it was neat, clean, and quiet and the prepared salads they had looked enticing enough that I inquired where they'd come from (Debbie Ghiringelli Catering) since there appeared to be no food prep facilities on-site. When I returned days later I was early and hungry and made my way back to Los Gamos Cafe for one of those salads which consisted of chopped lettuce, a big piece of sliced chicken, some fried won ton skins, and dressing. At $11 it seemed a reasonable price but I was proven wrong. I'm one who rarely leaves food on a plate and the chicken in this salad was overcooked and unseasoned; the consistency/texture and flavor rendered it inedible to me and I tossed away at least 75%. So $11 was actually too much. If you want a quiet place from which to enjoy a coffee drink or some other prepared food Los Gamos Cafe - inside Kaiser Permanente - is worth knowing about but I'd stop well short of recommending it for a salad.
