My partner and I shared the mushroom and short rib pizzas, and both were super rich and creamy. I found the pizzas were way more filling than the margherita pizza that I've tried here in the past. I find that this mushroom pizza is heavy on that umami mushroom taste. In my opinion, the crust was perfection. The ONLY reason that it's 4 stars instead of 5 is because the pizzas were a little too rich for me.

We wanted to order pizza, but we were told we had to go to a different side of the building. Then we were offered a completely different menu, which made the experience even more confusing. Our waiter was rude and didn't seem to know much about the menu or the dishes. The prices were extremely high, and for a party of five, our bill came to over $400--almost $500. To make matters worse, the food did not justify the price. The salmon was undercooked, the portions were incredibly small, and the overall quality was disappointing. We actually had to go somewhere else to eat afterward because we were still hungry. Overall, this was a terrible dining experience. We will never come back, and I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. Hopefully, none of us gets sick after eating there.

An employee tried to explain it when we arrived, but after we chose to sit inside, we were first seated in the wrong area and then moved to the back where the pizza is served. Not exactly the smoothest start. The food was good, but a bit pricey for what it was. We ordered the mushroom pierogies (which was misspelled on the menu) and a pizza. Both were tasty, but neither was memorable enough to make me feel the prices were justified. Service, on the other hand, was very good. Our server was friendly and attentive. The strangest part was the seating. We were placed next to a service area hidden behind a curtain, except the curtain did nothing to block the noise. We could hear all the conversations going on behind it, and there seemed to be a lot of unnecessary drama happening back there. It gave the whole meal an oddly uncomfortable vibe. So yes, the restaurant is nice and the food is good, but the experience felt weird enough that I left unsure I would return.

Pizzas were good but not spectacular - son of yeti pizza : pizza could have used more time in the oven - no crisp to the crust or bottom and still doughy below the toppings.

I ordered the fish and chips, with a green salad instead of fries (aka chips), and a gin and tonic. The meal was perfect. The salad was fresh, lightly dressed. The fish was flaky, the batter crispy, the ratio of batter to fish perfect. In addition to fresh tartar sauce they bring out malt vinegar. The coleslaw was tangy and tasty. My only disappointment in the meal was the g-and-t. I expect tonic to be carbonated, and there was zero effervescence in my drink. I didn't send it back, so that's on me. A person at the table across from me ordered the taco trio and those looked scrumptious. Maybe next time... I would definitely go back, and just be more assertive about my cocktail. Very good food.

This was one of the most upsetting customer service experiences I have ever had…read more I made a reservation for outdoor seating because I was dining with my mother, who uses a wheelchair, and my 8-year-old child. When we arrived, we were suddenly told that the outdoor tables were "not wheelchair accessible," despite the fact that I had specifically reserved an outdoor table. As I write this review, an outdoor table for four has remained empty directly in front of us for the entire time. We were still refused that table. When I questioned why our reservation could not be honored, the manager, Adriana, responded, "Go ahead and give us a bad review." I found that response dismissive, unprofessional, and completely lacking in empathy. My family and I are Brown, and the way we were treated left me with serious concerns that we were not treated the same as other guests. I cannot know the reason with certainty, but the combination of refusing to honor our outdoor reservation, claiming the outdoor tables were suddenly "not wheelchair accessible," leaving an outdoor table vacant throughout our visit, and the manager's response left me feeling humiliated and unwelcome. I hope Pacific Catch reviews the reservation records, available security footage, and the actions of its staff so that no other family has a similar experience. This review reflects my personal experience and observations.

For me, a nice eggplant pizza and the chicken dinner for my wife which is a house favorite since they first opened. My favorite cocktail, the ADMIRAL and a beautiful, tasty nonalcoholic cocktail for my wife. Simply superb! The remodeled outdoor patio is really something to behold- it's a beautiful cozy setting, especially on a warm evening. For several years now this has been just about my favorite spot to go to in the bay area and certainly my number one Marin spot! Sometimes just to sit at the bar and have a nice exquisite craft cocktail is a complete joy. Or, if you only want a pizza, this is the best place to do it as the wood-fired pizzas are second to none and who doesn't want some pizza and good beer? With a price that's not out of line in comparison to the region. Check out the private dining area which can be shut off and secluded which is great for meetings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs, or graduation events. Oh, and let's not forget the succulent desserts. Be sure to take a stroll before or after dinner, and check out the captivating retailers at this charming shopping area known as the Marin Country Mart. There are even freestanding retailers in the various parking areas. Most assuredly, a good place to spend an afternoon or evening. ***Please note that I'm in two areas frequently southern California and Northern California. So I post my favorites in both spots.

Any day is a perfect day to spend the day with my brother. Overdue, we made our way to Hog Island…read moreOyster Larkspur. First time for us both here. The wait was 20-25 minutes to be seated outside. We provided our cell number to receive a text when our table was ready. Text received. Host was friendly and seated us promptly. There were two outdoor areas for Hog Island - a smaller, narrower seating area that held parties up to 4 and a larger tented, barn style area that accommodated parties exceeding 5. The table we were seated at was small, requiring us to rearrange our setting multiple times to accommodate dishes and drinks received. Even though the space was rather quaint, we avoided being bumped into. Conversations are far from private, we heard a lot. Our order of two drinks - a Manhattan ($17) and Spicy Pineapple margarita ($16) - along with a food order of a dozen half shell oysters ($48), four grilled oysters ($18), a fried fish sandwich ($24) and a rustic seafood stew ($36). Our drinks were perfectly made and perfect for a relaxing day. At $16 for a margarita in a martini glass was devastating to say the least. Highly cheap on the part of Hog Island. The same could be said for my brother's customized drink in a martini glass at $17. The oysters on a half shell were shared between two, enjoyed by both. The oysters were perfectly shucked - free of an unwanted crunch from shell pieces. They were fresh, large and delicious. The grilled oysters were prepared just right, not over grilled with a juicy finish. The chipotle sauce overpowered the oyster and the garlic oil was the ultimate compliment to enhance the natural flavor of the oyster. I am not a fan of cooked oysters, these were prepared to complement the oyster (minus our chipotle selection). There was also a miso butter option, my husband had visited previously and said it was too salty. My brother devoured his fish sandwich, said it was juicy, crunchy and well prepared. The bun was soft and slightly sweet complimenting his fish burger. Hod order came with a side of fries. My rustic seafood stew was slightly disappointing. The mussels, clams, shrimp and lingcod were prepared perfectly but there was not a lot to enjoy at $36. I did not expect a lot, just a little more than the portion received. I fished through the tomato base looking for missed seafood. With these bites there was a lot of crunching from shell bits. This part discouraged me from continuing to look for missed pieces of seafood. I am not a fan of crunchy soup that is not intended to be as such. Overall we had a beautiful experience. Our waiter was comical, the view was beautiful, the weather warm with kisses of breeze and the company shared with my brother couldn't have made it any more perfect. We would definitely return again. Apple Pay is accepted as the payment system is brought to the table. I'm sure other mobile forms of payment are accepted too. Gift cards can be purchased at the register where you check in with a hostess. Hoping my daughter's teacher enjoys our appreciation of her when she visits. The weather is almost always perfect this way. Enjoy good eats, good drinks with good company - solo or with others!

My husband had the fish tacos. Our servers were friendly, cheerful and attentive. My objection was the way the initial receptionist/greeter treated my husband. She seated the couple in front of us, holding a finger up to my husband to indicate she would be right back. She came back to her station, did not look up and did not acknowledge my husband who was now first in line. She left and a young man replaced her at the reception. By this time, I was standing beside my husband and asking if we could be seated in the tented area. No problem. We were seated. My husband told me he had been ignored by the young lady receptionist. I asked him how he felt about this. He said he felt badly and it was maybe because he looked disabled with his cane. He said some people can feel uncomfortable with disability. A greeter's job is to greet. Please address this with your receptionist. Hog Island is a favorite in San Francisco and at Larkspur Landing. Reception matters.
