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!

Wonderful warm service. Used to live in northern Italy for years and this reminds me of many good meals I had there in hill towns and Milan. A place to remember and return to.

Great special occasion location! Service was top notch and even got free cocktails because our table was taking a while. Ambiance is wonderful and would return there again for sure.

Restaurant has very good food that is creatively prepared. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. The noise level (I was there in the evening) was louder than I'd prefer.

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!
