Best Waterfront Restaurants in San Rafael

I wanted to be wowed but left feeling meh. Yes, it was a holiday prix fixe meal, and they were busy, but the food specifically was really sub par. I had the lobster bisque, which was lukewarm, and more like a gravy. I also had the prime rib, which came also cold, thin, and lacking flavor. Dessert was a creme brulee, which also was cold on arrival. I felt like everything was premade and not fired on order. Yes, somethings can be partially premade, but everything here felt like there was no interest in making sure what they served really reflected both the craft of the restaurant and the concerns for the customer.

Another wonderful meal at Poggio. Very busy on Christmas Eve yet everything was perfect and timely. Our server, Daniela, made the evening better. Pappardelle pasta was outstanding and the featured Langhe Nebbiolo wine was delicious with it. Best restaurant in Marin.

This was an incredible experience for my wife’s birthday dinner. The staff was outstanding. The management team even found the birthday cake my wife loved. And the food was delicious Could not have been a better night. Thank you

We ordered the lite lunch, soup n salad. Just enough for small eaters. Great place food & of course the view of the bay, even on a cloudy day it’s fantastic

Excellent food. Great service. Not noisy, valet parking great
