The William Tell House Has Reopened in Marin County With Cocktails and Seafood | Eater SF

"After a lengthy renovation, I welcomed the reopening of a saloon in Tomales that dates to 1877; the William Tell House officially reopened on June 28 at 26955 Highway 1. The new restaurant, led by chef Austin Perkins (Nick’s Cove; Cyrus), showcases local ingredients and leans heavily on seafood—mussels and fries, cioppino, and a seafood tower—while also offering burgers, tacos, and salads. As the last full bar before Valley Ford, consultant Ethan Terry (Alembic; 15 Romolo) kept the cocktail list classic and approachable with drinks like a Campari Spritz and a Pimm’s Cup; the bar also pours local beers and wine. Seating includes indoor tables and the restaurant’s 100-year-old mahogany bar plus an ample outdoor patio, and the property has four on-site guest suites that were also revamped during the closure. Restaurateur Ted Wilson (The Hall, Fine & Rare) bought The Tell in June 2018, closed it for renovations starting in November 2018 after a brief pop-up, and it now operates as part of the Always Fishing Hospitality Group (which includes The Alice Collective cafe in Oakland and the Metal + Match catering company). The Tell is open Sunday and Monday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Thursday from 4 to 8 p.m., Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m." - Erin Russell
