Insalata's

Excellent food, great ambiance, we 💖 the very attentive manager . Sadly, the grilled lamb skewers are no longer on the menu. Our waiter, Brian, kept recommending the pork chop and seemed a little bothered when I asked about the lamb. But as always, the food was delicious, and the assistant waitresses and manager were incredibly sweet and attentive, making the experience enjoyable overall.💖

Every dish we ordered was top notch, the taste and textures were perfectly seasoned and balanced in flavors, everything tasted incredibly fresh farm to table, and not to mention beautifully prepared - plating is gorgeous! Luncheon: Between my two cousins and I, we shared a Mezze Plate, Eggplant Fries, Summer Salata, Carrot & Lentil Soup, and a Juicy Lamb Burger (best burger) and both fries were well seasoned and cooked to perfection! It was such a fabulous luncheon, we can't wait to go back! Insalata's beautiful atmosphere, lighting and artwork is inviting, cozy and elevated but not stuffy! Professional and attentive service by our server, Carey!

I have now been here 6 times. Order the steak wagyu if you read nothing else. Big, spacious, CLEAN, perfectly lit, restaurant. I don’t like to feel overwhelmed or to close to people, so for me that is important and I am Italian and Greek so being very clean, is also important to me. The service, I had Felix this time, he was fantastic but on service I always get someone amazing. Truthfully, first time I came here the main chef “Charlie” I think was working food was incredible. There were a couple times I thought okay but not like the first time. Clearly good enough to continue to go back. Holy f balls tonight!!! Back to why I love this place. I will say the main chef whether his name is Charlie or not I actually don’t know but he was there. The food was perfect. Lamb chops, hummus, feta dip and pita, chili oils, wagyu steaks, rigatoni with Dungeness crab served at a randomly colder perfect temperature since it had fresh cold crab on it. We came in for a party of ten, everything was perfect for a friend’s birthday.

Birthday celebration with friends and my first time there. Trendy with attentive staff, great cocktails, and a wonderfully balanced menu packed with a roster of delicious food options. We split 3-4 apps amongst the 4 of us and each was a winner. An entree was ordered for each couple and there were left overs that didn't survive the night after getting home! Definitely a great dining and mixology experience that I'll be adding to in the future!

My favorite San Anselmo eatery. The Deli has luscious options, too. Humus and bread dishes, outstanding. Lamb dishes (both burgers and chops) are incredibly good. The Wagyu steak is perfectly cooked and sided with potatoes, yam, and beans, with rich, savory sauce..

Great menu with diverse options. Good cooking with very fresh ingredients and interesting/unique preparations - they obviously put care into their food. Pleasant dining space and gracious service. A great find!

I would strongly balk at the negative reviews, of which there are only a few. Insalata's was a gem from start (which was a delicious stracciatella special with grilled bread) to finish (chocolate on chocolate). In between there were great service, a buzzing atmosphere, and a great bowl of olives, plate of gnocchetti and an unbelievable yogurt chicken. Strongly recommend.

Very pleasant ambience, service was fast and friendly. The Mediterranean food was excellent. Very good quality and quality, too. Was glad to have atleast 3 vegetarian options.

I had the pork chop for dinner and it was great. This is very nice restaurant and the service was excellent. Very pleasant neighborhood. I would eat here again for sure.

Nancy and I had lunch here while my car was being serviced at Marin Mazda. She picked me up at the dealership and since my service advisor had warned me it would be ready late in the day, we felt free to roam. Nancy suggested Insalata's and I had warm memories of my meals here, so I agreed w/ enthusiasm. Nancy dropped me off at the back door and while she parked I went to secure a table. The hostess greeted me, showed me to a table and told me where the bathrooms were, which was a thoughtful touch. Nancy joined me shortly afterward. We looked over the menu and what interested me was the prawn salad, which was comprised of grilled marinated prawns, shredded cabbage, carrots, cucumber, radish, kale, apple, red onion, cilantro, basil, and pepitas in a sesame ginger vinaigrette, Nancy ordered a medium rare hamburger, which came w/ fries. I had English breakfast tea to drink, w/ oat milk and Stevia, and Nancy drank water. Because we were busy talking I didn't notice how long it took for the food to come, but it was a reasonable wait. When the food arrived Nancy offered me some of her fries, which were delicious. My salad was gorgeous, as Linda's was 9 years ago. I didn't take photos because my phone has developed issues sending photos to my computer. They get lost in cyberspace. I have to sort that out w/ professional help. The salad was amazing. Nancy was happy w/ her hamburger and fries. When I went back to the bathroom I noticed a takeout case which I hadn't been aware they had. Nancy does takeout regularly from them. She told me about a hack she had inadvertently stumbled on for their kale salad. She dislikes kale as much as I do and she found that a minute or two in the microwave 'massages' it so it's good. After we had finished lunch we stopped by and I bought a small container of the kale salad. I also bought a medium size container of their Asian broccoli, a medium size container of their roasted Brussels sprouts and a grilled half artichoke. We were helped by a sweet young man whose name I asked but have now forgotten. He seemed like he took care to choose the best artichoke for me, rejecting the top one for one beneath it. My car took much longer than expected. I headed home after 5:30 and got there a little after 6. I decided to just heat up some of what I had bought. I first heated the kale salad for a minute so it could cool down. I heated the artichoke in the microwave and the Brussels sprouts in a frying pan. I cut the Kelenna's cornbread I had bought yesterday into three pieces and briefly warmed one. I assembled it all on the plate and it made for a marvelous dinner. I was so glad I had it and am looking forward to trying the Asian broccoli.

THIS is my favorite Marin county restaurant. Soooooo delicious. We ate here three times on our "girls' trip"!!! For dinner one evening we had their Merguez lamb burger without a bun and shared the fabulous eggplant fries. Succulent!!!! My personal favorite was the phenomenal super fresh salad with sesame ginger vinaigrette and the most exquisite grilled shrimp I think I've ever tasted. For a different meal we ordered several things from their takeout section that were excellent including meatballs, brussels sprouts, and broccoli. Everything is extraordinarily fresh and organic. You can really taste the wonderful difference!!! Without exception, the service was superb. Timely, warm, knowledgeable.

We came in for lunch on a Friday, and while the food was good they were very clearly understaffed and it took 40 minutes for our salads to come out. Might have just been an off day, but the delay was too long.

Romantic lighting. Friendly service. Awesome dishes. Everything good haha. I had a fall beet salad and the moroccan seven vegetable tagine. I love the burst of flavors, and the enhancement the ingredients contributed to the flavor and essence of the beets. The tagine was pure comfort. Everything blended well in my opinion. The tomato chickpea stew and turkish yogurt as stated on their menu description of this made it so awe-inspiring (I'd say you would feel that way too!) I will come back to try their other dishes. Can't wait!

I had a great time with friends at this Mediterranean inspired restaurant. Staff is so nice. We were a group of 10 who enjoyed sharing. It was all good with staff and the wine selection was super.

Perfect trio of 5 star service, fabulous food, and not too noisy interior. Came here for dinner with another couple. Our waiter was attentive and provided excellent service. We started off the eggplant French fries. Wow, they are super light and delicate. Then we ordered several salads. My favorite was the stone fruit salad. The mushroom appetizer was very fragrant and not too earthy. The squid ink pasta with shrimp was delicious and I would come back again for this. The other guests had a perfectly roasted chicken, not leathery at all. The brined pork chop was tender. The white bean/artichoke soup was outstanding. The restaurant gets a 5 star as the food was on point, service was excellent and although busy we could still carry on a conversation.

Always the best restaurant for salmon, they top it off with a seasonal delivery... here is the latest..

I can't believe its been 25 years since this restaurant opened in San Anselmo. Always great tasting dishes, as we have been coming here for almost that long! We visited last night with another couple. Eggplant Fries are to addicting and the Hummus is always smooth and tasty. The Fattoush Salad is an all time favorite as well as the chicken dish. Don't forget to order the special cheese cake baklava desert for the perfect finish to a great meal. Service is attentive, but could be better and the ambiance is warm and inviting. Parking is usually an issue, so keep that in mind.

Love the takeout counter. Such a lifesaver in so many circumstances. I wish there was more variety but I understand that customers want their favorites and I appreciate the consistency.

The restaurant has a lovely interior. The design is tasteful, and the ambiance is comfortable and inviting. The service was excellent. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was taken care of. I ordered three different dishes, and while they were well-prepared, they were all too salty for my taste. I would have preferred the dishes to be lightly salted, with salt and pepper available on the table so I could adjust the seasoning to my preference. In my opinion, the food deserves a maximum of 4 stars. Everything else about the experience was great. Perhaps this is just my personal preference.

Great spot for lunch! My favorite was the the vegetarian tagine. Lots of different vegetables and delicious!

Food is to die for. Ambiance is cute. They were super busy obviously a popular place for the holiday season and just in general. Our waiter was still attentive and we had a great night

Old school and very good. We prefer lunch here and their many great takeaway options for dinner. I remember having an amazing chilled red wine here years ago and have frequently taken the fattoush salad to go (although I feel the togo option is quite small for the price while the in house option is quite large). Today I had the hummus appetizer, ahi tuna salad, gma had the fattoush w salmon and mom had the fish n chips. All were delicious! The salads are very large and the fish n chips came w three different sauces, we LOVE sauce! Our server was great, he was helpful and friendly. Wine is a little expensive for the quality but overall fairly priced for the area. The patio out front is cute but we come here for the amazing food and happy people!

I've been to Insalata's three times (so far) under very different circumstances. First time: Checking it out in late April in advance of a private dining event I had already signed a contract for. I wanted to preview what I could of the event menu and was made very happy by my choices! The eggplant fries are a signature dish and popular for a reason...they are insanely crisp and so fun to eat with their tangy dipping sauce. My daughter's salmon was cooked in a chunky tomato-based sauce (changes seasonally), and my bavette steak was flavorful and tender. I feel guilty that I didn't love the house-made tiramisu, but the sorbet/gelato combo was excellent. Sharon blew us away with her attentive service. Second time: For the event itself in early May, for about 25 people. I worked with Beth - who was super responsive and accommodating - to arrange the event. I requested Sharon as our lead server and I'm so glad I did because she took exceptional care of everyone there. The restaurant's all-inclusive menu for events is an incredibly great deal. The guests ate with reckless abandon and were amazed at how the food, beer, and wine just kept coming and coming. For apps, the eggplant fries were a hit and the hummus was among the best I've had. Next was the fattoush salad, which could be a full meal with a piece of protein added. For the main there was a choice of vegetarian platter, salmon, yogurt-marinated chicken (I got this and LOVED it), or bavette steak. I wish I remembered the other dessert option but I was too focused on getting more of that sorbet and gelato. Third time: Last week, just because. My daughter ordered the salmon again, and this time it came with a coconut curry sauce. My lamb burger was good but the fries were even better. More of that terrific sorbet and gelato for dessert. Bonus: Sharon walked by and recognized us. We love her! I recommend Insalata's for hands-on service, easy event planning, upscale yet comfy ambiance, and a delicious, high-quality Mediterranean menu. Note: For the event, Insalata's was able to put together a menu that could easily and on the spot accommodate any food allergy or restriction, which saved me from having to chase my guests for that information ahead of time.

I really wanted to like this place. A friend and I went here for lunch today. I was really happy with how beautiful the restaurant was. That was about the extent of what I liked. I have a service dog who, per federal law, can walk in any establishment, but I put him in a bag because I know how people are about food and dogs. I put him on a chair in his bag and was told to remove him. I didn't disagree with that because I understand how people are about dogs. I put him in his bag on the floor. The woman who was maybe the manager on duty was so rude. I told her oh this is a service dog and she said I don't care put him on the ground. OK, I understand that. We then got a waitress who was also rude. She was also a terrible waitress. She never refilled our water glasses, she never asked if we wanted more soda (I had to find her and ask) and she charged us four dollars for each refill of soda. The glasses are so tiny and we got charged $12 for one soda that had two refills? That's a never for me. I ordered a shrimp salad and my friend ordered mussels. My shrimp salad was a little bit salty but otherwise good. Before these meals were dropped off, we were enjoying some of the focaccia bread we ordered and we had our bread plates in front of us. The waitress came over and said, let me take these bread plates. I said we're not done with the bread yet. She said then please move them because your meals are coming. Really? I can't imagine being so rude. She then gave us the bill without asking if we wanted dessert or anything else. We told her we wanted to split a dessert and that my friend wanted coffee. Everything we asked her was a problem to her. I will never set foot in this restaurant again. Even though the food was good, the way we were treated was awful. That took away the fun of meeting a friend. There are way too many restaurants to waste your time at this one being treated like you're a problem.

ate there tonight. Service was atrocious. We were seated at a table that was in the doorway and very cold. When we asked to have another table the staff was rude and insulting. We have been to Insalata's for many years because the food is pretty good...but never again.

Never disappoints - the quality of the food always exceeds my expectations. Deep and extraordinary flavors and a chance to indulge in authentic Mediterranean cuisine. Big shout out to Ben behind the bar who lead us through finding the right pairings of exciting wines - and who crafts the ultimate gin and tonic.

Insalata's is a fantastic restaurant, easily among the strongest in Marin County. Their fattoush salad is in the category of foods I wouldn't be sad about eating every day. However, I'm trying to reserve 5 stars for utter perfection and I would make the following adjustments: less pita, more feta, smaller portion--it might seem weird to gripe about too much food, but the onus is on the restaurant to present the ideal meal experience and this volume is almost comical (it's not really a "save half for lunch tomorrow" kind of place). The appetizers are strong as well though they're a little stingy on the pita bread. All in all, it's a great option for a nice occasion and always delivers in the ways that count.

Delicious food, attentive service, ambiance, and parking, what more can you ask for? My girlfriend treated me to an amazing lunch here. We started with eggplant frites with bomb spicy basil sauce, followed by mushroom cream fennel and celery soup, mussels, and gluten free dark chocolate dessert. Yes, I couldn't finish my entree but the leftovers were equally tasty. We ended up chatting next to the heat lamp well after our meal ended, and the service staff came by and checked on us for tea refills. The chai tea and latte were not the star performers by the way. All in all, a lovely day.

Great service and unreal food, I was ready to lick my plate clean. Tasted very fresh and not too heavy.

One of favorite places. The food is amazing, service great, location is near the main road, a bit noisy outside. The green decorations on the front building are awesome. We will be back

Excellent food Get the yogurt chicken. Big enough to split Also the fattosh salad was great. Salmon was a little dry Also get the eggplant sticks

Not my favorite place for food. I've been there before, didn't love it... this time my friend chose the restaurant again for her bday so had to go... again, wasn't impressed neither with food nor the price... ambiance is ok but would not pick that place to have lunch or dinner at...

Great place in the heart of San Anselmo. Fresh, tasty...Mediterranean cuisine. The staff are so pleasant, very attentive and nice. Attended a shower here today in their side room. I was so impressed with the quality and quantity of the portions. Top service with a smile. I will definitely return.

It's been over five years of living in Marin and I'd yet to try Insalata's in San Anselmo. It's definitely a "ladies who lunch" spot, particularly on their outdoor patio in warm weather. Lots of mother daughter parties, locals enjoying lunch and a few professionals enjoying a business lunch break. The focus is on Mediterranean-inspired food. Service was polished and solid, but could be intermittent outside on the patio. The restaurant inside was fully staffed, and has a take away counter for eat-at-home. Nothing revolutionary, but solid, and you can certainly see why Insalata's is a local staple. They made a new fan for their eggplant fries with mint cilantro salsa, and their chicken fatoush salad was traditional and fresh.

WoW!!! Kendra was fresh, upbeat, engaging, patient with us. She alone is five star service in addition to the food we selected to enjoy. I focused on the "French toast". This is not the French toast my mother maid. This is five stars alone, house made brioche, cooked to perfection crispy on the outside and slightly sweet custard on the inside. Served with fresh berries and real maple syrup and real bacon slices. I recommend this dish. They also serve non alcoholic shrub. Try it if you don't know what it is ... it is refreshing. This is one of my favorite Resteraunt's and I a repeat customer because of the high quality of food and Kendra s service along with Carl. Metta j

My partner and I love eating here. The food has been very good. I tend to get the steak option they have and it never fails to satisfy me. The service can bit a hit or miss. Some of the servers are super on top of everything and some seem to disappear. But both are still super nice when they are at your table. This is another place to make a reservation if visiting on a busy day like Friday and Saturday. You won't be disappointed with the food or drink options.

We've been going to Insalatas since it opened years ago. The Mediterranean food never disappoints and the ambiance/service is the best in Marin. Last meal I had there was with guests from out of town who are super foodies. Our meals weren't just delicious, they were beautifully plated! I'm such a fan that I've purchased both of Heidi Insalata's cookbooks and make her salads on a regular rotation. This is my go-to for informal catering, superb takeout, formal and informal gatherings. A friend had her wedding celebratory dinner there, perfection!

I've never had a bad meal here: the ingredients are very fresh and the meals change seasonally. My most recent meals here included tuna nicoise and a couple of months later, a tuna salad. Both tuna meals were delicious with the latest tuna salad meal a real standout with lots of delicious leafy vegetables as well as pine nuts and a light but tasty salad dressing that enhanced the salad. The fish and chips meal is hearty if you happen to be there for lunch on a day it is offered. Most recently I had a huckleberry tart for dessert, which was quite tart and a great way to end a perfect meal. The wine by the glass selections are good and the cost per glass is reasonable. Recently a friend and I had glasses of Alborino and rose for $13 and $14 respectively. The service is unfailingly excellent. Whether you come for a leisurely lunch or a special occasion dinner, you will not be disappointed at Insalata's!

Top quality food, atmosphere and service. Fantastic food, warm and friendly atmosphere. What more do you need for a celebration with friends? Kudos for squeezing in our group on Memorial Day weekend. It was stellar. No wonder they are a beloved local institution.

The food is very good but the service not so good. We got to the restaurant 15 min early The place was about 25% full. The host said our table would be ready in 15 min and to wait outside( in the heat). When we ordered we waited 45minutes for our food to be served. I asked the waitperson what was taking so long. She said I don't work in the kitchen. You will get the food when it comes out I will not be returning to this rude place

Good service and generally busy. We found the acoustics to be horrible as a table of six in an adjoining room was so bad, we could not hear ourselves.The menu is seemed a bit restricted for our younger folks, but the quality of food was good . It is one of San Anselmo's best.

Food was delicious, everyone found something appealing to them on the menu, which is a struggle sometimes ( picky eaters).

The art work was amazing. The service was good. The food was interesting as well! I went there with a friend and was delighted to see a handsome crowd!

Food is delicious and ambiance is delightful (less noisy than most restaurants) but service is very poor because they are understaffed. I eat there frequently and it is the same every time: it often takes 20 to 30 minutes to get the attention of your waitperson (I've learned to flag down anyone I see and ask them to alert my waitperson). Last time I had to wait almost an hour after my order was taken before I was finally served.

Great menu with diverse options. Good cooking with very fresh ingredients and interesting/unique preparations - they obviously put care into their food. Pleasant dining space and gracious service. A great find!

We had a Sunday brunch... Service is good / friendly/ efficient. Ordered popular Fattoush Salad-disappointing Lettuce, olives, crushed pita, feta and very little bits of grilled chicken. Nothing special. Lamb burger was good, very juicy and nice flavor. Generous helping of French fries that were too spicy, salty and over cooked. Golden brown, not burnt, but super dry. *You can get them without seasoning. The atmosphere is very nice - beautiful garden patio and interior is open with a lovely decor. Maybe the dinner menu is better. The restaurant was highly recommended.

First, the good: I ordered the Fatoosh salad for take out, along with the salmon entree and paid the $1 surcharge for modifications, which as far as I could tell, weren't made. But, my sister-in-law loved the salad. She asked for the salmon, too, but didn't say anything about it--so draw your own conclusions. The container was very small for an entire salmon entree! The not-so-good: I called to place my to-go order and was told that "it's called take out, and you order it online. Don't bother us." I tried to explain that I had an unusual special request and was placed on hold, then told to, "type it in the box." I did that. My special requests were not paid any attention. I arrived and stood by the register to retrieve my order. One person was busy serving a couple and I was happy to wait. When he finished he asked the other person working the take out counter where my order was and she snapped that I should have just walked to the cold case and gotten it and not bothered them or disturbed their customers. (Am I not also a customer? Did I not also add a generous tip in hopes that the people assembling the food would read and follow my requests?) The bag was handed to me, and an apology issued to a couple who was briefly ignored while I was given the bag. I pick up take out meals once a week for my sister-in-law, each time with special requests. I've never had any problems and every Marin restaurant has been exceedingly accommodating. Except Insalata's. Too bad, as I know it is popular with many.

I've never left a review for anywhere before, but here I go. Tonight was impeccable. The restaurant has some of the best food I've ever eaten, and the environment was amazing. We went for my birthday dinner, reso was at 8. I don't think any of us realized they shut down the kitchen at 8:30. The entire staff was so incredibly gracious through that process. Our server ( an absolute goddess of a woman) kindly let us know almost ten minutes after the fact to place our orders, and the kitchen broke their rule to let us do so. Additionally, our server was the most kind and and attentive and warm presence that I've ever seen in a restaurant environment. Thank you so much, Insaltas team, for enhancing my birthday in he stunningly graceful way you did. I will be back for every occasion ( and will be mindful of my timing). Extremely in awe of this crew.

I'd not eaten here for about 8 years, & my memory was that it was always good food & service. Two friends & I had lunch here last week, which was very disappointing. We were there when they opened, & were seated ~8 minutes after they opened. Someone immediately brought us glasses of water, then several minutes later a waitress brought us menus. I think that at every restaurant where I've eaten, the waitperson bringing the menu usually asks what you'd like to drink, but that didn't happen here. A short time later, she returned to take our orders, then abruptly left before I could order iced tea. (my friends opted for water with their lunch) Two people brought our lunches, & left. After several minutes of looking for our waitress, one of my friends got up to get her, so when she got to our table, I ordered iced tea which someone else brought. Several minutes later I was able to get her attention to ask for a straw, which she brought shortly, plunked it into the glass, & immediately left. There was no sugar or artificial sweeteners on the table, but that was OK because I'd brought several packets of Splenda with me in case all they had was sugar. My 2 friends had salads which they liked. I ordered a lamb burger, well done, but unfortunately it arrived very rare. With all the problems up 'til then, I decided to work my thru 1/2 of it, & took the other half home to cook to being well done, & decided to never eat there again.

Amazing experience. My food was absolutely incredible. I tried the squid ink shrimp pasta with crispy capers, olives and tomato sauce. Completely blew me away. The balance of flavors was crafted brilliantly to hit all areas of the palette. Textures were also all there with the caper spice (usually overbearing) rolling off the tongue like mustard seeds. While the bar didn't have yellow chartreuse to make my preferred cocktail, they had green chartreuse and made an incredible mezcal version of "The Last Word." Luis gave me exceptional service and was genuinely happy to be here and passionate about the food and beverage programs at Insalata's. Pleasantly surprised by the high quality of food and service here, will be back soon with some friends!

The food and service are top notch. We loved the mezze plate, focaccia and hummus. The daily soup (potato, leek) was really delicious. I tried the chicken and it was also very good - but probably too much food for what I could actually eat. All in all solid food!

When we arrived in San anselmo, we drove past this place and my first thought - with its name- is that it was a chain. 20 days later we finally get around to it. It's not a chain. Been there since 1997 so says our kind and helpful server. It's a Mediterranean fusion place. With dishes from all over the Mediterranean region. We spied the veggie plate and Mezze. We were seated outside which is standard in California but a luxury for a MA resident. The veggie plate was very good. But the mezze is come back for 2-3 times a week. I am not often wowed by a dish but this one wowed me. Everyone on the plate: tasty perfectly cooked falafel, spicy chick peas, (I added the tasty onions from the veggie plate which should be on the mezze too) the eggplant walnut Muhammara was outstanding. The couscous was good etc. I'm giving that dish five stars. I didn't eat anything else (yet) and am plant based so no meat in my review. Take that under consideration when reading my reviews. But overall great food, nice server and outdoor dining. Yes.

Never have I ever been scolded for leaving a 15% tip with a party of four. Really soured the whole evening. Food is great!

This is one of the best restaurants in Marin, hands down. Here's why: Service: Sharon was impeccable, polite, prompt and very amenable to questions and details. My husband and I thought she was definitely one of the best waitresses we've had in a long time. Food: Super vegan friendly. Also we asked what is gluten free and not. We had the eggplant fries, the hummus (very good with the pepper sauce, pine nuts, and fresh herbs), the seasonal soup made with poblano, mushroom and corn with creme fraiche (amazing flavors and texture) as starters. I had the vegetarian entree made with spinach, chard, couscous, lentils, tomatoes and very good spices (not spicy but earthy flavors). This is probably one of the best vegetarian entrees I have had in the area as a long time vegetarian. My husband had the chicken entree. Everything was served hot and promptly. Dessert was the Father's Day Cookies and Creme special - an indulgent chocolate molten cake with ice cream and cream. Really good. Atmosphere: It reminds me of North Berkeley restaurants. Nice, but not overly pretentious, warm tones and comfortable seats. Parking is a little tough, but you can park across the street too.

I made reservations and was seated right away. It was packed as it was a Saturday evening. Parking wasn't bad as there happened to be spots open in the lot to the right of the restaurant; however, my reservation was at 7:45p. I can see parking being tough earlier though. Everyone was pretty good at wearing their masks. The ambiance for outdoor seating was nice. They had heat lamps to help with the chilly weather. It was behind my friend and I was sitting opposite of her and could feel the warmth. They had the string lights outside & there was plenty of lighting. EGGPLANT FRIES: I shared these with my friend. Next time, I'm ordering this all to myself. It was THAT good. The fries were not oily and were light & crispy. The chutney was so good and was just enough for the amount of fries. Normally, I always end up with more fries than sauce/dip. CASARECCIA: I ordered this dish. This was SO tasty! I finished it all. If I could, I would've licked the plate clean PAN ROASTED SALMON: My friend ordered this & she said it was good. She finished it all so it must've been! 5 . I would definitely come back here again!

Excellent array of fresh produce focused dishes, hefty portions, beautiful interior. A large takeout counter with a host of dishes on display. Service on a Sunday brunch was a little slow despite the place being empty. Mezzo plate was excellent, as was the soup of the day tomato pepper, served either hot or cold. Tempting high end but not too pricey desserts. Will go again when in the area and looking for a healthy, tasty meal.

Great place. It's a fun little spot near the hub. On-site parking is limited but ok. Inside decor is amazing with large expansive wall art. Service was spot on. We had the occasional wait for food but not bad at all. Menu had enough to choose from. Nothing stood out but all that we sampled was good. We will be back when in the area. This was a lunch meal.
