Vibe, service and food were exceptional. Open space with close tables and music level made it quite loud inside. Our server was a real pro, she made great recommendations as we had many questions. We should have asked about the size of the 35$ tuna as it was shockingly small for the price.

Enjoyed dining here very much! Able to secure reservations for four at a prime time of evening! Waitress was exceptional! We enjoyed the scrumptious, outstanding food at a leisurely pace! Both Grandboys looooved their food as did we, the Grandparents! Made it to the play at the Children’s Theatre in plenty of time to get decent parking and relax before the play started. We will be back-for a date night!!!

We have eaten at Mill Valley Kitchen several times before so when we were planning to meet with friends for lunch we suggested Mill Valley Kitchen. They also really enjoyed the food and the ambience. Our server was very good as well. We will return!
