Best Date Night Restaurants in Larkspur

We enjoyed dinner at RH last night. We had reservations and were quickly seated at a nice, quiet table. Our server was Jorge and he was excellent! He made menu suggestions which we followed. We started with peach Bellinis which were delicious. My wife and I started with the burrata with grilled peppers in balsamic oil with toast. My wife ordered the fried chicken sandwich with crispy fries. Both were delicious as well. I enjoyed the grilled whole boneless branzino with charred broccolini. I cleaned my plate as it was so delicious. Our server came to check on us after each course was served. He was extremely attentive to us despite having other tables he served. But I watched as he checked on his other tables just as frequently as he did our table The food and service were both excellent.

The separate bar located across a brick enclosed pathway was quaint and the drinks were done well. The reservation was right on time and service was really nice. Our waitress was a gem, and checked in just enough. The meals (4) total, were all as ordered, came out nicely timed (following starters and salads/soups), and prepared/plated well. Definitely a spot to recommend and return to.

We enjoyed a delicious lunch served by ,Enrique, who was professional, welcoming, attentive and friendly. The local Fanny Bay oysters were delicious, chilled with mignonette and cocktail sauce. Escargot were delicious and served with toasted bread. Outstandingly different were some of the best calamari ever! Served on a bed of mustard aioli, perfectly tender, well fried with onion strings and string beans. I would go back for the calamari alone! Not a pear lover, Enrique, ordered the crab salad for me with a Dijon dressing instead of the pear vinaigrette. The crab was fresh and delicious but frankly, not enough of it for $35. Also had the Cassoulet which was delicious but contained only one piece of very fatty duck. Both the crab salad and the Cassoulet were daily specials. Despite nitpicking of these last two items, the food here gets our highest rating. They have a lovely wine list and since we were celebrating a big anniversary we had a delicious sparkling rosé and an outstanding glass of Frank Family Chardonnay. A very satisfying experience all around dining at Left Bank, Larkspur….the original!

We celebrate all our special occasions at Insalata, including using the banquet room for a major birthday party, bemuses of the total experience which includes the food, wait service and atmosphere of the restaurant. It's our favorite restaurant in Marin.

Very healthy food in a comfortable environment. The bar is outstanding as are the servers. What more could you want
