25 Top-Rated Steakhouses in Novato, California 2024

My dad came down from cloverdale on the smart train and we had lunch at the board room restaurant in ignacio. this was our first time there and we were very impressed. we arrived at 1:45. there were about 5 or 6 patrons at the bar and a table of 3 or 4 in the main dining room. the waitress was covering the bar and the dining room. a very pleasant woman who visited us often. the food was wonderful. my dad and i split the caesar salad. i had the fish and chips and my dad had a club sandwich with fries. we could not have asked for a better lunch. i highly recommend.

Good food and good atmosphere. i ate several meals here while staying in the area. the menu is fairly simple. i never had a bad meal during the 6 or 7 times i ate there. they have a decent beer selection and experienced bartenders making some great cocktails.

One of best places on grant avenue. i had the goff burger. delicious! and the dessert, yummy!

Take a trip to rickeys and feel like you are on vacation. enjoy food and live music by the pool. friendly service and many great food options. happy hour is 3:00 to 6:30 and some entrees are included. call or go online for a reservation and to check the music schedule. the surroundings are tropical. the vibe is old world motel.

Met one of the owners, hanna, in ireland and he gave me a voucher for 2 free drinks since we both were from the bay area. came in and met his business partner abe, who was equally as charming and welcoming to my fiance and i! we will definitely be recommending this spot to any and everyone we know! the service/staff were incredible and the food speaks for itself. wonderful dinner.

I really liked this place, their food was really good, portions were generous. our server was really nice and friendly, we arrived really early on sunday so we didnt have to wait to be seated. their chicken pesto crepe was really good and my friend loved their benedict eggs. my boyfriend liked the country fried steak but the gravy was a little bit on the runny side. i loved their tea (which was from the peets coffee next door so i bought some there) and they are aware when coffee was running low so they will offer more. parking: plenty of parking in front of the restaurant

The new star restaurant is an interesting mix of new and some of the old favorites. the restaurant has been updated and lots of staff to make sure all is going well. they are still getting up to speed, but we got our food fast and it was great. lots of attention to detail. we went with the new offerings and glad i did. we will be back. posted some photos of the dinner menus. think they have different menus for different times of the day. give them a try, you will love the food. i hope they might dim some of the lights. was really bright in the back room. wheelchair accessibility: new sidewalks and push button front door. 2 reserved parking spots with ramp.

Somehow just better than any other fast food burger. very reliable across locations. friends and family visiting from places without in-and-out insist it is an absolute must to go, usually the first day they arrive. parking: plenty of parking. the drive through line can get pretty long, but they move it quickly. kid-friendliness: great for kids. activity books with stickers and crayons and they have milk shakes. everything a kid wants.

Definitely a 5 star dining experience in my opinion. delicious and diverse food options. drinks are amazing and the location is superb.

The first japanese restaurant i have eaten at outside japan that has the emphasis on quality, attention to detail, and customer service that is expected there. not all the dishes were fantastic, but the overall experience was excellent. ill try some different things next time.

Great late afternoon lunch at this spot. really great selection of italian first and second courses. beautiful appetizers and incredible pasta. i had an amazing ravioli with spinach and ricotta and a super tasty red sauce. bread served with the waters. really nice waiters and a really nice vibe in this place. they have wines and beers though i wasnt in the mood for that today and a full selection of coke products. took my youngest and they made him a great plain cheese pizza, kid style. will be back the next time i am up. worth a visit. vegetarian options: plenty of no meat options. seafood like clams and all too if you flex on fish. kid-friendliness: kid friendly staff.

What an amazing restaurant and experience. my wife and i went there for our anniversary and wanted something that was a little different than our usual family/kid-friendly style restaurant and heard great things about chianti cucina so we gave it a shot. im glad we did. upon entering it has a cozy, old world and dare i say…somewhat romantic atmosphere(?). however, the floors are tile and it stays busy so it might be loud if you go in peak times. the service makes up for it in every metric though. our server was very attentive, very knowledgeable regarding the food and wine menu and she was fast! i was actually surprised, i dont mind a dining experience that is a little slower paced when im on date night. the food is so flippin good! i had a ravioli special with short rib and a pomodoro sauce and the flavors were just spectacular! the quality of the dish was probably the finest pasta dish ive had in novato. the freshness of the tomatoes in the sauce, the fresh herb medley on top with a slight sprinkling of parmesan really balanced out the heavier cheese/short rib ravioli base. the whole thing had a nice blend of flavors. i topped it off with a napa wine. my wife chose an italian wine, i was not as daring lol. if we had more time and more space i would definitely try some dessert. next time for sure! i cant wait to go back.

Strangely good for a habit burger. came here for a few hours to eat and get work done. the burger tasted the same as any habit burger but it was put together in a way that was more appetizing than usual. genuinely impressed.

Vegetarian platter was excellent. naan, rice and 2 sabjis with dessert. the veg tikka masala and palak paneer were delicious. dessert was a let down. the rice was grainy. i loved the mulligatawny soup. hot and spicy just like we wanted it. i would highly recommend this place.

The staff is nice and the food is good. they have limited hours which leads to them getting pretty busy, but it is worth the wait. the marvin s scramble is my favorite. kid-friendliness: it s a pretty laidback place and they have high chairs.

This is probably the best mexican food i have ever eaten outside of mexico. the red salsa was the best i ve ever eaten. the chicken mole was the best i have ever eaten. the food was prepared quickly. the service was pleasant. the atmosphere was wonderful. the price was extremely reasonable. if i could have a last meal on earth that wasn t my momma s or my wife s, it would be at this restaurant. my compliments to the chef!

We had dinner here on a recommendation from a friend and it was even better than we hoped. the portions are very generous and the big burritos are huge! flavors were delicious and not too hot but you can add some hot sauce for the extra kick. we will definitely be back.

I always keep coming back for more of this delicious greek food! my favorite thing to get is the beef gyro bowl and it gets better and better every time. i just finished my bowl and am already craving another one. definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for an extra tasty meal.

This is our favorite place for sushi and japanese food in marin county. it s truly a hidden gem. i m almost afraid to give it a good review because it s still easy to get in and the prices are quite low compared to high-end sushi and san francisco even though the quality is as good or better. chef taka always does amazing things and it s fun to see him behind the sushi bar.

We love meals here, and order from them often. they have awesome pumpkin curry, my favorite dish! anything ive had is good: pot stickers, pad thai, drunken noodles, yellow curry (we get it spicy level 3-4), thai tea. very quick service as well whether dining in, picking up or delivery. we have done all and had good experiences. parking: on a side of a strip mall, plenty of parking in front of and to the right of establishment.

Visiting my aunt and she selected this wonderful taste of mexico hot spot. jumping on taco tuesday. we dined outdoors beside a tree sporting white holiday lights. festive ambiance. started with bottomless chips and salsa. added some fresh guacamole. the wait staff was very accommodating my aunt turns out to be a bit demanding. for instance when the horchata arrived she immediately snapped, that s too much ice. the expediter said no problem and was back in a jiffy with a drink with very little ice. my aunt kept these folks on their toes and they delivered excellent accommodating service. i had an excellent salad dish (with two colors of beets). i added the chicken breast. very nice combination. for dessert we shared the flan. my aunt said it was supposed to have a little jiggle to it. alas, no jiggle but all the same we each devoured our half ( separate plates of course!). highly recommend

I love it. eat the spicy burritos. they are so delicious i recommend them. and there is a variety to choose from sandwiches and salads. i love chick-fill-a newbie. i recommend it. to have fun with family and friends.

Had to go out to sp taylor park with bodiddly pete to ramicate the bossinlakers they got on the north side of their clumping hedgerow before it gets in the creek, and only had time for a quick little breakfast. bodiddly says sams place is the best breakfast joint in marin county, so i did a lickity split and went straight there. and he was right, sams place is a great place with amazing food! next time…ill make more time. sams gets 5 stars

The hamburgers are delicious. we tried brisket and hot dog too, but we really loved the cheese hamburgers! the staff is very friendly and helpful. thank you so much!
