    Southwest chicken salad
    Bryan R.

    Phenomenal family vibe. Here with my uncle, he's been a regular since it opened. I went with a salad to keep it light. Good to be here. Service is quick and the food is A1 top tier

    Rebecca B.

    Loved, loved Perry's on Magnolia. Such a cute restaurant, and they've decorated it so nicely for this time of year. Christmas music, warm lighting, and an inviting vibe all around. Love attention to detail! Makes you happy just walking in front door. Service was impeccable, and the food came out warm and full of flavor. Can't wait to go back and sit outside under the redwoods. Highly recommend!

    Outdoor vibes
    Gina G.

    What a beautiful escape, Perry's on Magnolia in Larkspur. This is our second time coming to this small and quaint downtown area. It's such a fun getaway for us, and we absolutely fell in love with Perry's, the park across the street, and the entire block filled with other vibrant and bustling restaurants, wine bars, coffee, ice cream, and more. How cool of a spot to have outdoor dining and TV's in the trees to enjoy local sports and entertainment. That's the first thing that drew me to this specific Perry's location ~ a dining experience like no other in the heart of nature. Indoor dining is also nice and cozy..I recommend making a reservation because it does seem to fill up with locals. Because it was a bit chilly, we made a reservation to sit indoors and watch the Dubs game. They had a high chair that attached to the table which was fun, and a great kids menu to choose from. The staff was so patient and kind to babies/small kiddos, and looking around as time progressed, it seemed that this spot is the family-friendly place to go. We ordered the Perry's Slyders (comes with 3) and they were SO delicious and filling. Comes with shredduce (shredded lettuce), tomato, mayo, grilled onions, pillowy fresh 'slyder' rolls, and ketchup on the side. I was in heaven! I also loved the NA drink menu, and ordered a tonic from Juice Shop which they served in a cold glass. My husband had a few local to the area brews (Pond Farm, yay!) and we decided after a tough Dubs loss, to go on a walk and hit the park before it got dark. (We had kids meal leftovers, which I can foresee being a great money saver in time, ha) All in all, great local digs and community feel. Can't wait to take my family here, sit outdoors, and truly take in all the vibes.

    Pot Roast with veggies

    This is Walt from Walt's Adventures and I find myself in Larkspur, California at Perry's. This quaint restaurant has both indoor and outdoor dining with heaters. The outdoor area has natural coverage for one dines among the redwoods. I was reminded of when I went camping those years ago. My dining experience easily compensated for any difficulties in travel for I quickly found myself at peace. We started with the potato skins appetizer. The presentation could have been more appealing but it made up for any indifference with its taste. I highly recommend them. Our selections were presented well and overall met with our satisfaction. Four of five for the veggies and the garlic bread, for our tastes, need more seasoning. If you are need of a break from your daily life and wish for tranquility and a great meal, seek out Perry's in Larkspur. Reservations recommended.

    Lemon drop
    Susan B.

    What a precious restaurant! We loved sitting outside! Our server was the BEST! Had a lemon drop with the artichokes for an appetizer. The crab cakes were so flavorful and fried perfectly. We took a photo at the photo op before we left! Excellent experience!

    Onion Strings

    Perry's on Magnolia sets the standard by which other Marin restaurants should be judged. The food and service is extremely consistent and high-quality. Dining here always feels like an occasion. The servers are very friendly and professional, and they get all of the basics right. The food tastes extremely fresh and is always cooked just right. Personally, I enjoy sitting indoors, but the outdoor seating is also beautiful on a nice evening. I recommend the Perry's cheese burger with fries! It's a classic and it's one of the best burgers anywhere in Marin! They also have homemade potato chips as an alternative to French fries, which come heavily recommended. Whatever main you order, you must try the onion strings appetizer, it's delicious and extremely moreish!

    French onion soup

    Why doesn't Apple stop for a year and make medical devices? When people talk about technology, that's where I start to get a little hot under the collar because I know that it's the key to solving some of the world's biggest problems. Having a faster, thinner telephone is not one of the world's biggest problems -- Luke Perry After a hike to Dawn Falls where techies kept ruining the trail ambiance by talking work and talking too loud for a Sunday, we ended up at this restaurant with a lovely outdoor seating area under the redwoods. Service was quick and friendly, and we enjoyed our French onion soup and beet salad. I had a Pliny instead of a glass of wine, and sitting next to the creek added to the experience. The techies ruining hiking should take note. Ditch the work on a Sunday and live for the moment. Recommended!

    L I'm a French soup connoisseur so when I found out about this place, I had to drive the distance to come check it out and bab Let me tell you it was amazing great cheese pork comes out piping hot well seasoned and more on the thicker side.. the atmosphere is great I've been three times now only for the French onion soup and I always request my two table outdoor Tall seat table. Oh yea the servers are really friendly.

    Clam chowder cup
    Jaime N.

    Great place to sit outdoors and have a meal. Very relaxing and well shaded. The lamb shank was very tender and well seasoned. Went well with the mash potatoes as the lamb shank sauce complemented it. The clam chowder was nice and thick with a good amount of potatoes and clam. Just a bit too salty for my preference.

    I went here recently for dinner with my friend. Overall I'd give Perry's 3.5 stars. My rating is because I think many of the items are quite overpriced for what you get. Total for my items (2 apps, 1 soup, 2 sides, 1 dessert) came to about $80. I guess that's the Marin county tax. AMBIANCE: Beautiful outdoor seating surrounded by trees and the sound of running water. American diner feel. Sports bar look inside. SERVICE: Service is a bit slower if you sit outside it seems. Our waitress did check in on us a decent amount. FOOD: We got the ahi poke (great), potato skins (delicious), French onion soup (okay), Mac and cheese (skip) and creamed spinach (pretty good). We also got the apple Brown Betty dessert with ice cream on top (great).

    What I received. 8 sad soggy croutons from a package and definitely not shaved Parmesan
    Olga S.

    Wanted a good Caesar salad and looked at pictures on DoorDash and it's says "rustic croutons and shaved Parmesan" and pictures looked good. Received a salad that looked like it was poorly premade at Costco maybe 3 days ago. Soft basic croutons from a package and definitely not shaved parmesan. Nothing like the picture shown on their account. Romaine was pinkish already. Gross. Also got artichokes and they were not good either, super dry. Never had good luck with their food.

    Jade S.

    Amazing food and people! We had the filet mignon with mashed potato's and creamed spinach, pot roast, Cesar salad with chicken tenders. So good!! 10/10 recommend!

    Mac and Cheese
    Tu-Anh N.

    WHEN: Fri @ 8pm FInally came back 2 years later because the first time was weird. Although food was good, service wasn't great and I was turned off. I'm glad I came back because it was a much better experience! I can still talk about the food I ordered from both visits. PARKING: They have their own lot but it's quite small for such a large restaurant. But luckily street parking is free and there's a decent amount. There's plenty of seating both indoors (2 floors) and outdoors, which stretched from one far end of the restaurant to the other. I can't imagine there ever being a wait for a small party to be seated. Both times I thought the hosts seemed unfriendly, or at least indifferent. Like someone who seems like they didn't want to be there. The first time service felt like they just made the "busboy" take orders so it was super odd. The second time was a wonderful young gentleman who was upset helpful and friendly. Here's the food that was had from both visits (dinner): BREADSTICKS & BUTTER - Complimentary This only happened the first visit for some reason. Maybe it was discontinued. CORNBREAD - $7 3 muffins in fact! It was decent, has chives, and went well with my chili. MAC & CHEESE - $8 Baked and topped with breadcrumbs. Felt under cooked since the breadcrumbs pieces were falling off and I expected a darker shade. Regardless it was good enough to me! NEW ENGLAND CLAM CHOWDER - $9 (Bowl) Very decent bowl as it was what to be expected. PERRY'S CHILI - $9 Cheddar, Red & Green Onion. This gorgeous big mug of chili was fully topped and delicious. I really enjoyed this as I was hankering for some chili! TRADITIONAL SPAGHETTI & MEATBALLS - $20 Comes with Grilled Garlic Bread. HOT SWEET DANG this dish is SOLID. I will come back for this comfort, as it was quite enjoyable! Give it a try! IMPOSSIBLE SMASH BURGER - $15 American Cheese, 1000 Island, Pickles. Nice when you don't have to pay extra for cheese in your burger. It comes with fries or salad and I was lucky they were willing to serve it with a side of Cesar salad (so nice!). I really enjoyed this. Something to order when one is hankering a burger without the gross feeling afterwards! I love the entire outdoor setting of this place. You get to sit so close to the trees and it just feels so nice I and serene. This place is great for romantic dates and big groups to enjoy.

Be sure to take a stroll before or after dinner, and check out the captivating retailers at this charming shopping area known as the Marin Country Mart. There are even freestanding retailers in the various parking areas. Most assuredly, a good place to spend an afternoon or evening. ***Please note that I'm in two areas frequently southern California and Northern California. So I post my favorites in both spots.

She was super accommodating and attentive without being overbearing. Once we told her what we liked, she immediately knew what to recommend and guided us through the menu perfectly. You can tell she knows her stuff. We came specifically for happy hour (we're definitely HH aficionados) and made it our mission to try everything on the menu. While the chips & dip were good, they're something you can find elsewhere, so not necessarily a standout. Everything else, though? OUTSTANDING! The hummus, whipped feta, and muhamarra were next-level--easily some of the best we've had. The CN burger sliders were also a hit--we had one each and they were so yummy that next time my husband is already planning on getting two. The drinks were on point. The espresso martinis absolutely fueled our afternoon in the best way, and we also tried the creamsicle cocktail and the shrimp Za'atar from the regular menu--both were super delicious in their own way. The ambiance was great, and the bartender was clearly on top of things, which always adds to the overall vibe. One thing worth noting: happy hour is now only offered Monday-Thursday, but Sydney was kind enough to honor it for us on Saturday since the website hadn't been updated yet. That level of service really sealed the deal for us. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish--great food, great drinks, and even better service. Easy five stars.

Lately, visits have been less successful. Bigger crowds and service snafus have impacted the experience. I love the success they are having, but a recent visit was so crowded, we had to involve the host just to find our waitress when some of our food didn't arrive. She never returned to check on us. It was a weekend, loud and full to capacity and we had fallen off her radar for over half an hour. It seems with the success, Corner Bar may be at a crossroads: deciding whether to focus on the high energy and crowds or on the great service and positive experiences that keep customers coming back.

    After a couple of visits, I must say I like this place. It is very popular with the locals, and…read moregets quite busy by 6pm -- so arrive early unless you have a reservation. The bar has a fine and interesting drink menu, and they make and use a variety of herbals and bitters to make some unique drinks. If you want to explore some unusual mixology, this is the place. The dinner menu is also solid. New York steak was very well prepared, with a great sauce on the side. Their hamburger is honest and simple, not covered with complicated sauces and veggies, and I love it. A small plate of cauliflower was a very tasty appetizer. The atmosphere is casual with a touch of elegance. Staff are attentive and well-trained. The wine list is excellent, and nightly specials are fun to explore. My one observation is that it is a $$$ restaurant. Dinner with wine was over $200, without getting extravagant.

My new york steak was $51.5. My husband got duck $46.5. Taste-wise, nothing was bad per se. Everything was just quite bland and unremarkable. Fries (that came with my steak) were pretty good. We also ordered separate truffle fries, which was good for sharing. They had a 'tonight's specials' menu. We tried the Kampachi crudo, which was very underwhelming. Pretty bland, small portion for $24 (4 small pieces). I don't feel like the seating set-up is super optimal for groups larger than 4. We had a group of 5 and we were put in a booth, it was pretty cramped and hard to hear (as it was pretty loud). Our servers were great, though. Good service throughout.

    I was looking for a place to take a friend to dinner. Wanted to try something completely new and…read morefound the Burren house on yelp. Located in downtown San Rafael the ownership here invested heavily in this restaurant to create an authentic Irish pub. We feel comfortable the second we walked in. Due to some food, allergies it's not always easy for me to find food that restaurants other than maybe one or two dishes on a menu. I was amazed that there were nine or 10 different dishes that I would have wanted to order. I can literally come back eight more times and order something different and enjoy it each time. The food was great! The setting was authentic. And the fact they have soft serve for dessert brings us to a 5+ rating!! Our server was great. And there was a second server managing cocktails. My only complaint was we never saw the bus boy and had to ask for our place to be removed even after they served his dinner. Highly recommend the Burren House if you're north of the Golden Gate Bridge. Note, they don't take reservations. But it's worth the chance of a table. Oh and they have live music too!

Times are a changin'. Anyways, the bar is open 4pm-11pm Wednesday-Sunday, closed on Monday - Tuesday. The hotel is about 54 feet tall so it is not particular tall, but tall enough for some awesome views of downtown, surrounding hills, and Mount Tam. The seating area ,like the hotel, has modern upscale aesthetics with relaxed vibes. The views are gorgeous. The staff are sweethearts, five star service. The drinks and tapas menu price points are of course pricey. But what was up with the stained paper menus. Eww. Anyways, the fam ordered drinks (cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks) and tapas of olives, hummus and pita, and fingerling potatoes. The olives were delicious and it was a good medley of various kinds. The fingerling potatoes were a bit boring tasting, it could use more seasonings for added zing. Not sure how the green hummus tasted, I snoozed on that one. Overall, the drinks are good, ambiance fantastic, and the food is meh. This is a type of place I would go for special occasions and not on a regular basis, my wallet cannot sustain it.
