Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Marin

We celebrate all our special occasions at Insalata, including using the banquet room for a major birthday party, bemuses of the total experience which includes the food, wait service and atmosphere of the restaurant. It's our favorite restaurant in Marin.

Cozy Outdoor Dining with Excellent Food & Service We had a wonderful dinner here before a show at the Marin Civic, and I couldn’t have been more pleased with the experience. Although it was a busy night and we made a last-minute reservation, we were lucky enough to get a table on the patio. Despite it being December, the outdoor heaters made the space incredibly cozy and comfortable — we didn’t mind the chill at all. The atmosphere was perfect for a pre-show dinner, and the staff, as always, provided excellent service. The food was delicious, and we appreciated the consistent quality that this place is known for. I’d happily dine outdoors again, even on a chilly night, as the heaters and the ambiance made it more than pleasant. Highly recommend for a casual, yet quality dining experience!

Charming neighborhood restaurant in Ross. Dan Baker’s food is absolutely outstanding, top notch! Love the patio during good weather…it’s the best one in Marin County! 

The staff was very accommodating to our holiday get together group: kind, attentive and flexible. We highly recommend the happy hour draft menu and small plates. Great to hang with friends or watch a game.

Delicious pizza and fantastic staff. They have some interesting and creative pizza choices. We got the Greek and it was really good.
