Best Seasonal Restaurants in Larkspur

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!

Nicole is an excellent server though we felt rushed as she had to go to her next job. Overall however, she was excellent.

We had five hungry people at our table ages 73 to 24. Everyone found something delicious to eat from the sausage pizza, mushroom fritatta, chicken salad, and seared salmon with the broccolini and roasted brussell sprouts. It was gloomy and grey outside with intermittent rain, We split the chocolate & oreo profilteroles and key lime meringue for dessert. The service was excellent and our waitress smiled often. Highly recommend!!

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! 

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.
