Restaurants near Marin Headlands

We have been to Sushi Ran many times and it is always a treat.

Ambiance: 10/10 We loved the vibe of the restaurant and people in it. Views are beautiful where 2 of 4 walls were glassed views of the bay. There was a good mix of age groups although leaning more into a 30-40 year olds the night we went. Ambiance was lively but not overwhelming so people at the table could talk. Food: 8/10 Oysters- 10/10 “Clam Chowder” - 8/10 - BUT it is not a typical chowder. It should be listed as steamed clams as all clams were in shell and the base was like a bouillabaisse with a little cream. If steamed clams, it would need more clams. Waiter warned it was not typical and set up expect which was good. It was delicious. Scallops atop bed of risotto - 6/10. - The 3 scallops were over-salted and overcooked on one side. Although not rubbery, the crust was too much. The risotto saved this dish as it was delicious. Did not finish. Toffee bread pudding - 10/10 Get it with ice cream. Delicious and not overwhelmingly sweet, given the toffee. Soft and toasted on edges. Service - 10/10 Host desk 10/10 They seated us side by side so we could both enjoy the view. They also initially offered different seating options and tried to accommodate us with the best view. We had made the resy late (same day) but still got a wonderful view. Waiter - 10/10 Kept checking in on us.

We had a lovely anniversary dinner here. The atmosphere are service were attentive without being stuffy. They made us feel special right off the bat, and kept the good feelings going throughout the meal. Our caviar service and cocktails were outstanding, and both the captain and the sommelier made wonderful selections we truly enjoyed. And their brioches were amazing!! Fluffy perfection. Highly recommend Spruce for a special occasion meal.

Beautiful setting outside on the terrace, view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Delicious brunch and cocktails.
