Restaurants near Mill Valley Shopping Center

First impression: restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. Will definitely return for dinner to see the chandeliers sparkle, and during the summer to sit outside. Let's just say, I'll be back. 3 of us shared the shrimp appetizer (perfectly cooked & seasoned), and the fries, one had a burger, a gem salad and Lobster Roll. Delicious. Don't skimp on dessert! We shared the chocolate chip cookies and the butterscotch crème brûlée.

Always a great local experience that feels a bit like being in Italy.

Poggio is my go-to restaurant. It never disappoints. The food, the service, the ambiance are all top notch. My return guests from out of town always request at least one meal at Poggio. First timers have remarked, “if only we had a restaurant like this back home”. Well done!

We are Piatti regulars. After suffering through major attitudinal service for brunch at Farmhouse over the weekend, it was so refreshing to have real, friendly and competent service at Piatti. Everyone is on the same team, smiles and pays attention. Simple principles of hospitality! And it feels warm and genuine. Not imposed. Comfort Italian dinner with friends. Loved the montepulciano by the glass paired with the chicken puttanesca. Warm and fuzzy on a wet rainy night. Keep it up!

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.
