I went to Tutu Lounge after a group hike and I had an incredible experience. The decor is beautiful, the restaurant has a nice vibe, and the service was excellent. I ordered a Mango Mimosa, Thai Tea Pancakes, and a side of bacon (My bonus day meal ). The mimosa was yummy and the bacon was cooked just right. The Thai Tea Pancakes were like Heaven on a plate. 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. read more

We had a delightful lunch on a Wednesday at noon. Weather was beautiful and we sat outdoors; the staff was quite attentive even though we were the only outdoor table. My pad Thai was delicious - moist with tasty sauce and tender chicken. Mango tango drink was great - house made mango purée with sparkling water. My companions ordered a tom yum scramble, fried chicken eggs Benedict, and a blackstone eggs Benedict. They all really enjoyed their food and thought the portions were large finished (or nearly so) everything. We'd absolutely do that again! read more

On a rare visit to our friends in San Rafael the four of us went out to brunch Saturday around 11am. We started off with Bloody Mary's. Took a few sips before I remembered to take a photo. We agreed there was enough booze in the drink. A good variety of breakfast items which the four of us were aiming for. Although it's an Asian fusion place, our breakfast items were American. Ordered - * I had the pancakes with two eggs and choice of sausage, bacon, or ham. I chose ham. It was Canadian bacon which I liked. * hubby & friend had the waffle, two eggs, and choice of sausage, bacon or ham. Hubby had bacon while friend had sausage. The Belgian waffle was a good size and crisp. * other friend had the mushroom omelette with potatoes and wheat bread. He enjoyed the entire plate. Good portion sizes. Service was attentive. Water refilled as necessary. We found metered street parking. Located in the business district. read more

Very nice location on Main Street of San Rafael, perfect ambiance and unique Brunch menu which is fun with some quirky names like McStupid Muffin. The best of what we had .. coffee so good, berries were amazing as were the breakfast potatoes which were so crispy (which is oddly rare at brunch places). The crab Benedict was not thrilling very middle of the road and the Tom Yum omelette was interesting but may be better as a scramble. It would love to try more of their menu! read more

Unique Thai fusion breakfast. Yep, you read that right! Somehow, it works. We loved the Tom Yum omelet (spicy), the Croffle (croissant + waffle), crab Benedict, and Thai iced tea pancakes. You can also get more ordinary options -- including a range of benedicts. The potatoes are the bomb: so, so crispy without being oily. How do they do it? Service was more efficient than friendly, but that was fine. Coffee was delicious. Will be bringing people here from now on when we need a Marin meeting spot. read more

I found this restaurant online and decided to check it out because the website was very enticing. I came here with my fiancé, my mom, and a family friend as a meeting place since it was a good middle point between our respective cities. I really liked all of the menu options and the fact that we could choose between breakfast, brunch, or lunch options. They had a great selection of sweet and savory options and I appreciated that dishes were fusion/Asian/Thai-influenced. I ended up choosing the Monte Cristo sandwich which I enjoyed! My fiancé had one of the omelettes and I can't quite remember what everyone else had but each of us seemed pretty satisfied with our orders. I also tried the berry matcha but it honestly wasn't really anything to write home about aside from the fact that it was aesthetically pleasing to look at. The 3/5 stars is because the service could have been better. I felt like my party was greeted with annoyance and while we were seated quickly, about 5-10 minutes into being seated, we were asked to move to accommodate a larger party (it ended up working out because the area we were moved to was cozier) and didn't receive much help from the server with moving our drinks. There were about three employees that interacted with us and each of them were not very friendly which was disappointing. I'm undecided on if I'll return but if I do, I hope to have a more pleasant experience with the staff. read more

This is a gem of a restaurant. Good is always fresh and hot and tastes so authentic. The employees are so attentive and kind- it's often then same people working there! I met my mom here often and we are able to have a nice long meal and have never been disappointed in the food. The food also always looks beautiful as well. read more

Tutu lounge is great. Food and atmosphere are fantastic and to top it off the staff and owners are amazing. I'm so happy to support them

Came here for brunch. Surprising how many groups were here on a weekday. Food took long but it was good. The Loco Moco was interesting, more Thai than Hawaiian for sure. read more

I liked this place a lot! The omelette portion seemed a bit small (just 3 shrimp) but the sauce was delicious. It came with mushroom and other veggies. I would have loved more filling. I thought the potatoes were so crunchy and perfect! The coffee is strong and the place is great. We also share Thai tea pancakes. These were fluffy and the Thai sauce was just right! Super perfect and fluffy. We enjoyed the fresh fruit. These so good to dip in the Thai tea sauce. The interior is cute and comfy. Staff are very nice. read more

4.5 stars rounded up. Loved the ambiance of this place with the large format paintings and tall ceilings. Came here for brunch and ordered the eggs Benedict Florentine ($18) which came with house potatoes. OMG those potatoes were the highlight of the dish IMO. Crispy on the outside, buttery on the inside, they nearly melted in my mouth. Daughter ordered the Here's 2 Ya ($19.00) which came with two pancakes, two eggs & two strips of bacon. Pancakes were light and fluffy, and she got her eggs poached which were perfectly cooked served in a bowl. Service was friendly and attentive. Would come back again. read more

Tutu Lounge on 4th Street in San Rafael is a pleasant surprise relatively new addition to a declining # of restaurants. From cool egg dishes to pancakes w/panache @ brunch to spicy basil dishes it's a keeper! Give it a go & spread the word-Tutu all the way! read more

Respectable overall. Passable / satisfactory service and atmosphere. Nice staff. Generally decent food. Their basic brunch chicken basil dish is decent. Areas for improvement. Weak lunch menu. All the dishes I want to try feature disgusting fatty meat. I love panang curry and red curry. But you can't get these dishes with good meat. They feature only fatty and chewy cuts of meat like pork shoulder and ribeye. I hate the taste of fat. I wish they offered premium low fat cuts like filet mignon. I'm not ever going to order a ribeye or pork shoulder even if I do like the rest of the dish. Solid to decent overall. If they offered better quality meat choices they could easily be a four star restaurant. read more

Yummy is the best word for this cute little spot..The Thai tea pancakes were pretty good..But I could of ate a bowl of the Thai tea sauce served for them..Absolutely delicious! My fiance had the Spicy Basil Chicken! I'm coming back just for that next time.. The restaurant is really cute, very clean. Service was on top of it and very patient. I had a hard time choosing what to have. I really liked this place and would absolutely return.. I love trying new places, new flavors.. It's the best in life. read more

Super cute inside this place! We all really enjoyed the energy in this restaurant. Light, tranquil & a good flow. We four enjoyed our food. Each of us thought our own dish was the best! :) I had the Basil Chicken. I asked for spicy. It was really good. Slight criticism, perhaps too much fish sauce, in fairness I do not like fish sauce. The two that ordered pork shoulder in red curry, loved theirs! And the presentation of this dish was beautiful. Yellow curry did not disappoint either. Fresh spring roll was good, a bit small, cut into 6 small pieces w/a delicious sauce. Service was good & pleasant. Difficult to understand/hear our server. She had a very thick mask on. She did not offer us dessert, though. We thought it was odd. I will say, they allowed us to sit and talk after dinner for quite sometime. Which I really appreciate. We needed time to catch up. I was surprised the restaurant did not have too many customers for a Saturday night. read more

Visited Tutu last weekend and was pretty happy with our experience. We came in at opening and were immediately seated. Service was friendly and the food was good. My truffle and mushroom omelette was good and the kids enjoyed their croffles. Their ube latte was delicious! I think the only disappointing dish was the Thai tea pancakes. The pancakes were dry and the Thai tea syrup/sauce didn't really taste like Thai tea. It was also super thick. Overall, pretty good! read more

A very good brunch place! We visited after a morning hike and the food really hit. The fried chicken and waffles was very good, with a very crispy chicken paired well with the soft waffles. We also got a breakfast omelette which was delicious. Portion sizes weren't too large, but the prices were reasonable. Decor was great, with many beautiful paintings decorating the restaurant read more

We visited this restaurant for the first time on Saturday! We were greeted immediately upon walking in and it was still busy around 11:45am! We thought we were gonna have a small wait, but to our shock we were immediately seated! Nice surprise! Their service is quick and we really liked that. Brought us waters right away and we asked for a few more moments to review the menu since it was our first time. I ordered the Southern Cal Tutus Egg Benedict and my bf ordered the Farmers Scramble! I wish the scramble was a little better priced because it only came with one slice of toast. Serving size was great, but wish it also had potatoes or 2 plain pancakes for $22. My bf said it lacked flavor too but after adding salt and pepper he said it was decent. As for my Southern Cal Benedict, it was delicious!! I cleared the plate which is rare for me. Absolutely recommend. The staff was super friendly and always checking in! The restaurant itself has a home feeling! We really enjoyed our visit! We will be back! read more

I've been to TuTu Lounge several times for brunch now and forgot to take pics every dang time because I'm just so excited to eat their food I love the spicy pork rice bowl and the som tum chicken salad, which my husband and I get at every visit. I'll update my review with pics next time! read more

Food was "good" ordered the crab Benedicts very little crab on them my biggest complaint it's the customer service food took too long to arrive even though there was hardly any people, and when it finally did my coffee mug had chips all around sharp edges easily could had cut my lips and I specifically said gluten free bread as I'm allergic and they brought me regular wheat English muffins so becareful and make sure you double check your order. Won't be coming back here second time and it's only getting worse no discount at the end just a simple sorry about that... read more

Brunch at Tutu's Lounge was... fine. The exposed brick and setting is nice, but the hand-taped signs and sticky laminated menus gives the place a slightly unfinished feel. I had the chicken and waffles: boneless (I prefer bone-in), though the skin was nicely crisp and the meat moist; the croffle tasted pre-made. A croffle is a combination of a croissant and waffle, but this tasted more like a day-old donut. The dish missed the crunch and tang of a good, freshly made waffle. I liked the idea of the basil rice and chicken with egg dish, but I found the sauce too salty. Matcha lattes leaned milky and grey, rather than a vibrant green. I'm generally a fan of Asian-fusion brunch, and local standouts include Sweet Maple's brunch empire with their Millionaire's Bacon (beloved and sorely missed since their Mill Valley exit) set a high bar. I was primed for that kind of fusion here, but it wasn't executed as well. Overall, we may return and try again--brunch is a favorite and local options can be limited--but this wasn't a particularly strong first showing. read more

This was my first visit to Tutu Lounge. The layout is the same as the previous restaurant that was located here, Bogies Too. I ordered the iced strawberry matcha tea and the mushroom and truffle omelette. The presentation of the iced matcha was beautiful! It came with a sprig of lavender on top and the drink was delicious. My meal was delicious as well, I would order the omelette again. The servers were friendly and the service was quick! I will be back soon for another brunch. read more

Had been hearing this was a good new brunch spot in San Rafael from several people and I definitely agree! The menu consists of plenty of classes (lots of omelettes/scrambles, Benedicts, pancakes, etc) as well as some Thai inspired dishes like a Tom Yum Shrimp omelette and some salads. Also yummy drink options (latte was great!) including Thai iced tea and other creative options. The breakfast potatoes were a highlight for sure! Very nice staff and cute and cozy inside - would definitely come back! read more

Relieved to have found a nice brunch place opened on Christmas Day! My friends and I came hungry after camping and luckily found a small gem in downtown San Rafael. Street parking available. Food was delicious! A bit on the pricier side, but flavor are great and quality is very high. Traditional Eggs Benedict - The potato's were so crispy and seasoned so well! It's not too salty which was perfect for me. The eggs benedict were standard and delicious, no complaints! Chicken and Croffle - two fried chicken patties, perfectly crispy and paired with a nice spicy-mayo sauce, on top of a croffle. Loved that there's a bit of sweet and salty in this dish, as well as some veggies and berries. I also got a thai iced tea (not pictured) which was delicious but a little too sweet to my liking. My friends ordered the Monte Cristo and Croffle and Berries and they said it was delicious! Hot chocolate was a hit with a 3 year old toddler and thai tea latte was also good according to my friends. Service was friendly and relatively quick. read more

Tutu Lounge is just plain lovely & today was no exception. I prefer breakfast foods over more lunchy type foods. Today's, post foot race food was a Blackstone Benedict! Kudos to the cook. I left nothing on my plate. I've eaten inside twice and had to go foods probably 4 times. Service is totally and completely perfect! They were so busy today, I wish I had taken pics! The place is beautifully decorated. read more

One of our favorite new (to us) restaurants in San Rafael. We shared a burger with white cheddar, red onions and arugula, and the Thai Basil Chicken with a fried egg. Both were outstanding! The restaurant was cozy, with comfortable seating, a nice bar area with live edge wooden counter and super friendly service. The only difficulty we had was narrowing down what we wanted to try first (so we also got an order to go) Will definitely be going back soon. read more
