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!

I was a little surprised at the clam chowder, which is shellfish in a broth, not the creamy kind I am used to. It was good, but it is a lot of work to separate the clams from their shells, dispose of the shells, then dig out the clams from withinthe broth. Interesting experience! The shrimp risotto was excellent, the Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc accompanied it well, and to finish, the affogato was really nice. Mency was attentive and professional. And we had a perfect table, in the corner overlooking the water. The weather was drizzly and foggy, which the restaurant can't control (I'm sure they wish they could), so I'll try to be back when I can enjoy the view.

Outstanding brunch place with a view of San Francisco

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.
