It’s safe to say this attractive restaurant that was previously home to the Royal Sweet Bakery (think old-school donuts, snickerdoodles, and sugary ice cream cones) has hit its stride. The wholly reimagined space boasts a large downstairs atrium-like dining room featuring attractive hanging plant fixtures and pale pastel walls, but the most coveted spots are the upstairs outdoor rooftop seating with views of Mt. Tam. Seasonal items here are especially good—a recent chilled corn soup and a grilled watermelon on panzanella with early girl tomatoes, burrata and nectarines are both superb. The grain bowl with farro, chickpeas, pickled onions, spinach, olives, and feta has been on the menu from day one and has been consistently delicious. A handful of refreshing cocktails are available and well-selected wines by the glass are also offered--even Marin’s own Sean Thackrey’s Pleiades XXIX was recently available by the glass. This restaurant is part of the new wave of downtown upgrades that has added some shine to our beloved little hamlet that is no longer one of Marin’s best kept secrets.
