Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in San Geronimo

We had heard so much about Sushi Ran ever since we moved to Northern California. It met up to all of the hype. Clean beautiful space, amazing service and the food was impeccable! Lovely to meet the owner as well that was greeting all of the guests! Highly recommend!!!

The food is exceptional. Always generous portions and fresh quality. The hostess went out of her way to find us the perfect table to celebrate our Mother’s 90th birthday. Her caring attitude really set a happy tone for the entire evening. Our waiter is Jameson. He made our night even better. Great suggestions, great pairing ideas. Complete awareness of our wants and needs. So happy to have had this waiter for the second time in a row in a 6 month period. I believe it speaks well of the management that the staff remain for extended periods.

We loved the experience! We went with 4 people, everyone was very happy with their food as it was all interesting, creative and delicious! Service was spot on, great ambience though pretty noisy. It's not cheap, we spent 100 dollars per person including the tip for a shared appetizer, an entree and one drink (no dessert ). It was well worth it and we'll surely come back.

From the time we entered the front door until we departed, we experienced best in class service. The host sat us promptly, the waiter was quick to let us know what was new on the menu, and the servers brought out beautifully plated dishes. All with wide smiles. As for the food…5 star. Little gem salad dressing was incredible, and the Pork Chop was killer. All the above is consistent every time we have been here.

The food quality at Octavia is very high. The chefs really know what they’re doing. We had a pre-fixe menu for Christmas Eve dinner and they accommodated dietary restrictions with advanced notice. They actually called a few days in advance of the reservation to confirm the dietary restrictions which was really nice. We had 9 courses I think and they were all delicious. My favorites were the soup and the pasta dishes. The service was also very good, the servers were very attending and accommodating. There was one dish I didn’t eat much of because it had radicchio in it which I don’t like, and our server offered to have the kitchen make me a replacement dish with a different lettuce instead. The only negative of Octavia is that it feels very cramped. The space is small and they squeeze in a lot of tables so you’re sitting basically on top of other diners and it’s a little awkward. Everything else was great though. I would definitely recommend Octavia as a good place for special occasions or bringing out of town visitors.
