My wife and I had the occasion to stop by The Speakeasy a few days ago. We were just looking to…read morehave kind of hors d'oeuvres and a cocktail and just hang out together, because we found ourselves with a rare four-hour window where the kids were occupied and we could just do whatever we wanted. This was a nice way to spend a few hours. The space is neat. It's as small, somewhat dark ambiance with the windows blacked out. So, you do loose your sense of time a bit inside. That's actually nice as it feels like you went somewhere/somewhen else for a while. We had a Manhattan and a Kentucky Mule, and, additionally, we had three different shareable appetizers. First thought, we ordered and devoured a really exceptional cheese plate. I know cheese plates seem a little meh sometimes, but this was really good! I would absolutely order it again. In fact, I would definitely go there just to have the cheese plate again with a drink, a glass of wine. We also had the three tacos shareable. There were three tacos that were stunningly good. Lastly a dish with some little steak medallions and a shrimp. Each of these was about two bites and the flavor and texture was excellent. All three of the shareables and the drinks were exceptional. I have to call out that, with the cheese board, came a little loaf of bread. That bread was really good all on its own. I would definitely want to eat it. I can still taste it. It was really good, but my wife, she's gluten intolerant. They offered, because she couldn't eat the bread, they offered to also bring her out some gluten-free crackers, so she got to enjoy the cheese board just the same without the bread. They gave her the crackers, and do you know, they just gave her those extra. They didn't ask for something more. They didn't do anything. They just took care of her. I really appreciate that. I have to also give a shout out to the Jessica. I don't know how she did it, but she was taking care of the whole room of tables I think. Nice. We ordred all three shareables at the same time and she thoughtfully said, 'do you mind if I course these out for you?' We said yes and she did. I don't think anybody felt like they didn't have everything they needed, so a shout out to you, Jessica, really well done. We're grateful for the service and the high quality dining experience that you gave us on a moment's notice. I hope we can visit again soon. And, especially we want to check out The Boardroom soon. NOTE: This is in a kind of older looking strip mall. Don't be concerned about that at all! It threw us off a little at first and we did wonder when we pulled in though if we were in the right place. Happily, we were!

Chunks of tender and crispy potatos with and chunks of corned beef..topped with sautéed red peppers and onions. Then they have the nerve of crowning the mound of beef & potatoes on hot skillet with 2 poached eggs!!! Delicious!! I loved the chunkines...I want to be able to bite into the hunks of unshredded beef and potatoes. Roasted Brussels Sprouts $16.00. This is a winner!! The Sprouts are over roasted on a iron skillet. You can taste a bit of crispy char. There are soft caramelized onions and real bacon bits added. All is tossed with balsamic vinegar. And its good vinegar... real good balance of sweetness and tart... then you bite into a bacon bit...now its sweet, tart and salty...so wrong in a really good way. 1 order of Ruben Rolls $10. You get 2 Ruben Egg Rolls cut into 4 pieces and 1000 Island dressing on the side. I am not to thrilled with dish. Rolls wonton type wrappers and is filled with a mixture of shredded corned beef and sauerkraut. The Rolls are Then deep fried and cut in half. I am not fan of shredded anything, not my texture of choice. The flavor is little a bit lacking... I cannot tell the if I was eating corned beef or roast beef. Our Server Steph S was amazing. She was helpful and engaging. Thanks for helping us with out spilled water!! Men's Room 1 stall 1 Urinal 1 sink Looks pretty clean, but there is a slight sour dirty mop water like smell.

I've been eating here since the mid 1990s, happy its still here!F riendly faces, zero ambience, but you're here for the food and affordable prices. In 1996, I was making $4.75/hour California minimum wage. In 2026, its now $17, or even $20 for fast food workings. The fresh, hot, crispy, and toasted sandwiches are always a "Delite"! Prices have increased over the years, but not offensively. My recent Assorted Delite "half" sandwich was $11.50 but still as big and ginormous as I last remembered and plenty of food for one big person like myself. The fresh rolls is toasted perfectly, not burnt, the inner white bread stays fluffy and doughy. There is enough ham, pastrami, and salami proteins to keep you satisfied, and just the right amount lettuce, tomato, and onion. The ingredients are nothing exotic, but somehow this magical delicious combination can't seem to be replicated anywhere else in the world except humble, dull, sleepy Novato California. Why? $11.50 might be seem pricy...but in 1996, I was making $4.75/hour California minimum wage. In 2026, its now $17, or even $20 for fast food workings. 11.50/17 = .67 $4.75 X .67 = $3.18 would be the 1996 inflation adjusted price. I would've found that a fair price back then, and today.

Always ask for your sandwich toasted. Trust…read more So yeah, the sandwiches are pretty straightforward, nothing fancy which is a-ok with me. I enjoyed the turkey one, the meatball one, and the cheesesteak one (I order that one too many times) If your sandwich isn't toasted, it's a really different experience. Get it toasted. Trust. The portions are huge. Two people can eat a full size and be pretty content if you aren't a big eater Straightforward sandwiches, fair price, nice small business, what more can you want? OMG there was this crazy post on Reddit about an "overpriced" sandwich shop in Marin that pretty much expedited their closure. That's sad. I love small businesses. Get your sandwich here and not that five dollar foot long corporate ripoff or overpriced places. It works. I like what works.

This is one of our go-to spots whenever we're craving Pad See Ew. The food is consistently good,…read morethe portions are satisfying, and the customer service is always friendly and welcoming. While not every dish is a standout, we've had enough positive experiences here to keep coming back. Here's what we thought about our latest order: Som Tum - Very fresh and packed with flavor, but it was a bit too zesty for my personal taste. While it wasn't bad at all, it's probably not something I would order again. Kai Ka Prow - I decided to try something new, and the flavors definitely did not disappoint. The chicken was slightly dry, but the seasoning and overall flavor profile made up for it. A solid dish that I'd consider ordering again. Pad See Ew (Beef) - This is my go-to dish and it delivered as expected. Some pieces of beef were more tender than others, but the dish itself was full of flavor. The portion of meat was generous, making it a satisfying meal. Golden Crab Rangoon - One of our favorite appetizers. They're crispy without being overly oily or greasy, and the creamy filling is delicious. The best part is the cheese pull when you enjoy them fresh out of the fryer.

It didn't appear like they have AC, since all the doors were open. This restaurant looks new on the outside, but looks "old-school" on the inside. The only thing missing was.....chopsticks on the table. I ordered: -Tomato Beef Chow Mein, $15.95, serves two. Very good Tomato Beef Chow Mein. Every piece of beef was tender and easy to eat. The chunks of tomato, bell pepper and onion were in small bite sized pieces. Perfect for eating with chopsticks. The sauce was tangy and lightly sweet. What was missing was the "Wok Hei." Aka...."the breath of the Wok," it's the unique smoky aroma that adds a special flavor to stir fry food. - Salt & Pepper Fried Chicken Wings, $17.95, 9 wings. To be clear, these are "flats." Fresh, juicy, and fried crispy good. Seasoned in coarse salt, chili pepper and onion. My waiter/server gave me a small dish of chili oil to enhance the heat level. Overall, a nice first time experience.....4-stars.

The SO always mentioned wanting to stop by Dave's Hot Chicken when go to Costco. We finally decided…read moreto stop last week. We ordered one tender and two 10-piece bites - all hot. They were indeed spicy hot, but I was disappointed that the heat came from being sprinkled with chili power which resulted in a very uneven result. Some bites were overly hot and others were blah. All of our chicken was greasy. (Yes, I know it is fried chicken but our's seemed like the oil wasn't hot enough so the batter absorbed a lot of oil.) Beyond the grease, the chicken was incredibly salty. As it turns out, one tender has 50% of what should be your day's intake of sodium. The service was fine. We received our food in an acceptable amount of time. I'm not sure what they were going for in the dining area. It was kind of institutionalized graffiti. Now that I've been there once, I never have to go back.
