Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Mill Valley

Our favorite restaurant by far. The food is always fantastic and the staff is so professional and welcoming. We went with Grandma tonight to celebrate New Year's Day and we are going back on Saturday after seeing "Hamilton" so should be a great day!

Food was excellent, service highly professional.

The separate bar located across a brick enclosed pathway was quaint and the drinks were done well. The reservation was right on time and service was really nice. Our waitress was a gem, and checked in just enough. The meals (4) total, were all as ordered, came out nicely timed (following starters and salads/soups), and prepared/plated well. Definitely a spot to recommend and return to.

The service was as good as it gets. Miguel was so attentive. I had the lamb shank. It was excellent! We had the grilled artichoke. It was a little undercooked but everything else was perfect. We were seated in the bar area. It was a tad noisy but there are options for quieter seating. Overall a very good experience. Super friendly and present. I recommend this place!!!

I was a little surprised at the clam chowder, which is shellfish in a broth, not the creamy kind I am used to. It was good, but it is a lot of work to separate the clams from their shells, dispose of the shells, then dig out the clams from withinthe broth. Interesting experience! The shrimp risotto was excellent, the Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc accompanied it well, and to finish, the affogato was really nice. Mency was attentive and professional. And we had a perfect table, in the corner overlooking the water. The weather was drizzly and foggy, which the restaurant can't control (I'm sure they wish they could), so I'll try to be back when I can enjoy the view.
