    Amazing experience, will definitely be back. Just moved here from California and this reminded me very much of a typical California restaurant. The food tastes very fresh and they had great menu options. I love that they put the calorie content among other nutritional information right on the menu helping you make better choices. I don't have any dietary restrictions or preferences but they do cater to gluten-free and vegetarian and I haven't found many restaurants here that do. There's parking in the back which is a plus though it was pretty full, I still managed to get a space. And you must try one of their cute little shot glass desserts. Just the right amount to satisfy my sweet tooth without packing on a lot of calories and cost! I look forward to returning even with the half hour drive!

    As a rule, we don’t like brunch but this brunch is amazing! All dishes are fresh, nothing in big pans sitting over a heat source. Amazing selection of dishes to choose from and never a long wait because of how they have it set up. Highly recommend!

    There were good vegetarian options for entrees, but we were more impressed with the delicious sides. Great drinks, great ambience. We will definitely be back.

    Mill Valley is my favorite restaurant of all time. I have never been disappointed. The room is welcoming - as are all the staff. The food is fantastic. You can show up dressed like a rock star or like someone needing some pampering after a long day at work. No matter how you show up, you'll leave relaxed and refreshed. Great Place!

    Server was friendly and knowledgeable but was battling a new computer system that affected ordering and timing.
