    We had a wonderful waiter!!! He just made the whole experience so enjoyable. That feeling actually started st the front when we checked in. As always, Perry’s looked festive and beautiful. I took my 6 year old granddaughter and the crayons and coloring menu were a big hit.

    We were made to feel welcome the moment we walked in. The staff is friendly. The interior was so Christmasy with a fire going in the fireplace and a magnificent tree that smelled heavenly. We had appetizers, cocktails and entrees that were all tasty. Entrees were served nice and hot. We were not rushed at all. Highly recommend. We have been going there for years and have never been disappointed.

    What a pleasant surprise to find Paseo, in Mill Valley. It is hidden on a paseo (hence, the name), off the street, but well worth finding this gem. Personally, finding a restaurant that serves a farm grown local Pork Chop with the bone in is a success, but to find one that serves a Chop perfectly cooked, hot on arrival, and absolutely delicious is wonderful. My wife and family ordered the Seared Ahi, and the Mac and Cheese--both were exceptional. And the service was first rate--very attentive. We even met the wonderful chef, Anjelica (sp?), who was warm and wonderful.
