Situated next to Creek Park in downtown San Anselmo, a sushi-slash-izakaya restaurant from Jukreewat (“Jackie”) Suthon (The Baan Thai) opened its doors in late June.
The streamlined interior, dressed in shades of white, grey and black, points all eyes to the plate. That’s where Shrimp Kakiage, Japanese Hambagu (no translation necessary) and more traditional sushi preparations like Hamachi Goma Aburi, Chriashi Don and a Kuro Nami Roll shine. And if you're craving an adult beverage, wine, beer and sake are available!
Oh là là! The San Francisco bakery and café chain recognized for their wizardry with laminated dough finally opened their doors at Larkspur’s Marin Country Mart in early July.
For the moment, the menu is limited to croissants, pastries, quiches, crepes, and delicious La Colombe coffee. Look for expanded hours and brunch, lunch and then dinner menus, including an expansive crepe menu, in the coming weeks.
The Sonoma-based chain with branches in Petaluma, Healdsburg and Forestville landed in downtown Mill Valley in late June, selling out over the July 4 holiday weekend.
An entire cooler of vegan flavors – Irish Coffee, Caramel Crack, Chocolate Almond Bliss and Cookies ‘n’ Cream, for example – are right at home alongside dairy-full flavors like Italian Pistachio, Birthday Cake and Peanut Butter Crunch. Pile a scoop or two on a cone and head to the nearby Depot Plaza to enjoy on a shaded picnic bench.
Part-owner and executive chef Victor Viera, who cooked at Terrapin Crossroads, steps into his own at an all-day restaurant in the former Blazers space just off Novato’s downtown strip.
Like its sister restaurant in Richmond, the cuisine is American-Italian with clam chowder and a California BLT omelet in the morning, wood-grilled cheeseburgers, Caesar salad, and short rib gnocchi at lunch or dinner.
Live music is planned for the ample patio, where more traditional hi-top and low-top seating replaces the picnic table vibe.
Local Kitchens is putting the final touches on the remodel of their Mill Valley space to "bring more warmth, connection, and dine-in atmosphere to the community."
To celebrate their facelift, they're inviting diners to try their upcoming Falafel menu designed by a world-renowned Israeli chef, along with their current menu collaborations featuring stacked sandwiches by Chef Mason Hereford and exclusive boba tea drinks from Boba Guys.
They'll be kicking off the celebration this Thursday and Friday (July 18 & 19) with a BOGO promo. So for two whole days (10:30am - 11:30pm), you can buy one item and get one free on all online or app orders for pickup.
