- RRyanSan Francisco Bay Area •2 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoWe were able to get reservations for Valentine’s Day the night before. The reviews didn’t look bad, so we gave it a shot. Overall, it was a decent dinner. The ambiance isn’t “fancy” but it’s not bad. I do have a couple critiques: Being the second couple seated and the place was empty I figured we would have very attentive service, which was not really the case. The young man serving us must’ve been relatively new, just inexperienced. He took forever to come take our food order and didn’t make eye contact with us, even though we were pretty much his ONLY table. We were given a semi-fixed valentines 3 course dinner for $75. We found out later we COULD have ordered from the regular menu, which they were offering people seated after us. The food was tasty, but for $75 I would have expected a little nicer presentation and better side dishes (pretty plain asparagus and potatoes) with my Filet Mignon — which, by the way, I don’t think was a filet mignon. They have a distinct shape and cut, and this steak was much thinner than a typical filet. Thst said, it was tasty. My wife’s dessert choice was wrong, but they comped her wine - and the desserts were pretty good.More infoCafe VillaPrice: Moderate• Italian• San Rafael•4.4
