Best Lunch Restaurants in San Rafael

Great food! Mains are pretty consistent (pizza, french toast, fritata). Great drinks, wish we got into apps more

Highly recommend Insalata's. The server was friendly, efficient and understanding of the logistics of a big table (11). We sat down to dine at 9pm because we had come from an event, and we never felt rushed, we took our time and had a great meal. Food: - The Wagyu beef was excellent, from Snake Hill Farms. As I knew where it came from I had it rare and it was just right. - The grilled chicken marinated in yoghurt was tender as always. - The pasta was great. Portions are generous.

There were four of us dining at 5pm on Valentine's day for the prix-fixe 3 course menu. It was beyond our expectations.....lobster risotto, duck a l'orange, beef tenderloin and petrale sole. Every dish was served hot, the flavors and presentations superb. Our server Samantha was attentive and charming. We did sit back a bit due to the fact that there was live music and and we wanted to be able to converse among ourselves.

The ambiance is extraordinary. You are seated in a roof top glass garden overlooking the world, with a breathtaking view of the mount Tamalpais . The service was impeccable. The server, Toby, was exceptionally welcoming and courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner, with the food being of exceptional quality and the service being outstanding. We will certainly be back.

Always enjoy this dining spot, great food and service. Only problem I had this visit was the staff and a couple patrons were using the emergency exit which was next our table! it was COLD. Often they would not close it completely finally commented and it slowed down use! Its an emergency exit!
