The pancakes were soft and packed with flavor, beautiful presentation, and highly creative. Our entire group raved about their meals. I am very excited about this restaurant and am planning my next visit.

We celebrated a birthday dinner on a Monday night with a group of 12 at Emma's, and it was a…read morewonderful experience. We were the only dine-in customers at the time, although they had a steady stream of takeout orders coming through. Despite that, all of our food arrived quickly and everything was organized perfectly. Our server was incredibly friendly and seemed to be handling the entire dining room on his own--taking our order serving food, and the clearing table. He never seemed rushed and provided excellent service throughout the evening. We brought our own birthday dessert, and he graciously brought out plates and forks and helped us celebrate, which was a thoughtful touch that we really appreciated. The food was fresh, plentiful, and came out fast. My favorite dish of the night was the vegetable spring rolls.

When ordering, I accidentally misspoke and said vegan instead of vegetarian. This was an addition to the $120 worth of other food that we had ordered. When the food came and I noted that it was vegan instead of vegetarian, I was told that I could either pay $20 for a new bowl of ramen or eat what I had. I didn't eat.

There's always a lovely seasonal moving scene on the big screen TV that can be seen from the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. You'll also see statues and various decorations from different Asian countries in an otherwise modest decor. It's pleasant to have the doors open for fresh air, but when we were there we happened to have to keep flicking away several flying insects vying for our food, which was annoying. I would hope that experience was just a fluke. They have cute seasonal arts and crafts for sale. For instance, fuchsia or bright orange pumpkins of pipe cleaners. We visited on 9.11.26.

And lastly - of course - the food is just outstanding! All the Thai classics you wish for but presented in a modern way. Everything we had (we shared an appetizer player and a couple more dishes) was so flavorful, the dips were to die for (I asked for extra to take home with me!). Will I be back! Yes!

I had the pleasure of dining at Madcap last year for my birthday. I'd been eyeing the restaurant…read morefor a while, intrigued by their fusion of French and Japanese cuisines--because honestly, who doesn't love that combination? What I didn't realize at the time was the sheer pedigree behind it. It turns out Madcap is Michelin-rated, and Chef Ron Siegel is a celebrity chef. A Top Chef alum who headlined at legendary spots like The French Laundry and Michael Mina. Ironically, I didn't learn any of this from a food blog or Yelp. I heard it from my dentist in Vallejo. Talk about a random convo! As for the food, Chef Siegel's creations are pure joy--a celebration of culinary genius that feels genuinely divine. It's the kind of meal that evokes deep emotion; it really is magical. I can honestly say it's the best restaurant in Marin, Point Reyes included. We paired our meal with a beautiful bottle of sake by Pharrell Williams (yes, you read that right), and to top off an already incredible evening, we got to meet Chef Siegel and take a group photo with him. What a cool dude! Inside the restaurant, the decor was refined and classy, featuring rich dark wood accents and curated artwork. My only minor complaint was the seating - the wooden chair, while stylish, could have been a bit more comfortable. Overall, it was a truly lovely experience.
