Best Restaurants with a Wood Oven in San Rafael

Very nice atmosphere with the Christmas Decorations, and a Beautiful Christmas Tree in the entrance. We were seated in a booth, our waitress Nichole was very friendly, attentive and professional. We both enjoyed our Salmon dishes and a nice leisurely lunch, with no pressure to leave. We really appreciated that. Definitely will be returning in 2025.

Service was superior. Drinks good. The spaghetti with clams was disappointing. Garlic bread best thing about the meal ($8?). Noise level very high at 6:30. Quiet by the time we left at 9:30.

We had five hungry people at our table ages 73 to 24. Everyone found something delicious to eat from the sausage pizza, mushroom fritatta, chicken salad, and seared salmon with the broccolini and roasted brussell sprouts. It was gloomy and grey outside with intermittent rain, We split the chocolate & oreo profilteroles and key lime meringue for dessert. The service was excellent and our waitress smiled often. Highly recommend!!

I was a little surprised at the clam chowder, which is shellfish in a broth, not the creamy kind I am used to. It was good, but it is a lot of work to separate the clams from their shells, dispose of the shells, then dig out the clams from withinthe broth. Interesting experience! The shrimp risotto was excellent, the Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc accompanied it well, and to finish, the affogato was really nice. Mency was attentive and professional. And we had a perfect table, in the corner overlooking the water. The weather was drizzly and foggy, which the restaurant can't control (I'm sure they wish they could), so I'll try to be back when I can enjoy the view.
