    We love going here, food is very tasty with some unusual items like chicken livers. The ambience is cosy and laid back though noisy at times.

    What a disappointing meal. The Steak was terrible quality and the seafood was also terrible quality. I don’t know if there is a good meal to be had anywhere anymore. Might as well stay home and BBQ your own steak.

    Our dinner was delicious and the servers were very attentive and kind. I was glad we went early because the restaurant filled up. A large party came in ,and the noise level increased dramatically and it was difficult to hear those sitting next to you. Next time I will ask if there are any large reservations — if there are, I will schedule for another day.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Novato especially because the food is scrumptious and Jessica the bartender makes amazing. Cocktails! The dining room reminds me of a Chicago mafia, Italian restaurant, and on the weekends, they have piano player, which adds such a nice touch! The appetizers and entrées are delicious. Plus there is an extensive wine menu, then the bar also called speakeasy is fun and you can eat at the bar or enjoy. Happy hour 3 to 6 PM daily.  Most restaurants, close way too early in Novato but this one stays open late and the service and Food are both stellar!

    This is one of our favorite dining spots in Novato. The food is delicious,. the drinks well made and the service is always professional, informative and on point to ensure an excellent dining experience. The Speakeasy is always a great place to grab a drink and their Happy Hour menu is one of the best!

    A memorable quiet birthday event which Missy made sure was excellent. There was a large group there which delayed service a bit but we were in no hurry and Missy was so very genuine and caring as well as ensuring our food was excellent. Thank you chef and team….
