Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Marin

A group of us friends has an annual meet-up at the Rotunda. Things have changed over the years and especially since the Covid shut down, but the menu is always an interesting variety of creative ideas with something for everyone, reservations are easy to make, the service is friendly and efficient, as well as patient, supporting us having a good time. Add popovers and we couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

Hospitality, Service, and food all wonderful. We were particularly impressed with the Service. Both from our server as well as from the Sommelier. Everyone was friendly, articulate and very pleasant. All of our dishes were excellent. The only thing that could be improved upon is the selection of Music playing in the dining room.

The Progress never disappoints. We sat at the bar for a pre birthday celebration and had the best time. First, if you get to have the pleasure of Brent the bartender and server was outstanding in every sense. While making tons of cocktails, he was able to guide us through the menu and pick the best choices for our meal - all with a beautiful grin. The food is above excellent, imaginative, well prepared and presented. Service staff is efficient and just the right amount of friendly. A definite go to!

Fabulous food and service! We ordered the “let us cook for you” service and wine progression. Every course was impeccably prepared and presented. Since it was our anniversary, we started with a delicious champagne that had the flavor of garden fruits, like pear and apple. Not being champagne sophisticates, it was a delicious treat, and the wines that followed were all similar treats. Our server, Sanera, other wait staff and sommeliers were as excellent as they were friendly. We will definitely be back!

I was surprised and pleased at the quality of my food. I had a New York strip and this being a hotel restaurant generally they are not the best you have ever had. My steak came prepared absolutely perfectly and flavorful my meal was very enjoyable and the service was very good.
