I also love how they support other local small businesses with business cards in their tables and the funny, homey signage.

Food was decent but the emphasis was on meaty dishes, and I'm more of a fish and veggies gal. This normally would mean I'd order the eggplant parmigiana, but I went for the salmon, and it was okay... Decor is very TJ Maxx adjacent with lots of Sinatra velvet paintings. Would come back for martinis.

Received (3) extra au jus and assumed they charged us for them like $6 each!!! The au jus wasn't even au jus. It had no taste and looked like beef pan drippings mixed with water-gross. The roast beef was full of gristle and fat. The original Sam would be so disappointed. His restaurant is now overpriced and the quality of food has gone down. Won't be going back.

I went back the following day just to get another sandwich. The stuff are so accommodating. So very friendly. We've been going there so long. They know us by our name. They could probably tell us our order also. My husband likes to get breakfast there. Typically he gets the eggs benedict which he loves or he gets the eggs Florentine. Everything comes out so nice and fresh. But you definitely have to try their fresh squeezed orange juice. It's to die for!! So if you're in town in Novato make sure you stop by.

If you're in Novato and looking for a good breakfast spot, I highly recommend stopping by Bacon. Keep up the great work, Bacon. We hope to be back soon!

When I asked them to warm up my pastry that I ordered, the person at the cash register "Alejandro" shook his head, gave me a dirty look and rudely argued that it was warm enough. This was done in front of a long line of customers and it was quite embarrassing.he continued after my roll was taken to the kitchen to mock the request by shaking his head and talking to the other coworker next to him which just stood there. Needless to say, this has not been the first time his moodiness to his customers has been witnessed. Bummer the welcoming committee is what it is since the rest of the experience is AMAZING!!!! This place is a gem other than this on and off experience witnessed personally and observed happening to others.

Sunday Brunch for 2 Plenty of street parking…read more The Corned Beef Hash & Poached Eggs ($21.00). Chunks of tender and crispy potatos with and chunks of corned beef..topped with sautéed red peppers and onions. Then they have the nerve of crowning the mound of beef & potatoes on hot skillet with 2 poached eggs!!! Delicious!! I loved the chunkines...I want to be able to bite into the hunks of unshredded beef and potatoes. Roasted Brussels Sprouts $16.00. This is a winner!! The Sprouts are over roasted on a iron skillet. You can taste a bit of crispy char. There are soft caramelized onions and real bacon bits added. All is tossed with balsamic vinegar. And its good vinegar... real good balance of sweetness and tart... then you bite into a bacon bit...now its sweet, tart and salty...so wrong in a really good way. 1 order of Ruben Rolls $10. You get 2 Ruben Egg Rolls cut into 4 pieces and 1000 Island dressing on the side. I am not to thrilled with dish. Rolls wonton type wrappers and is filled with a mixture of shredded corned beef and sauerkraut. The Rolls are Then deep fried and cut in half. I am not fan of shredded anything, not my texture of choice. The flavor is little a bit lacking... I cannot tell the if I was eating corned beef or roast beef. Our Server Steph S was amazing.

Tucked away in a Novato strip mall but out of site from the surrounding streets, odds of chancing…read moreupon The Speakeasy are slim. Attached to The Boardroom restaurant, The Speakeasy is a real find featuring a wonderfully robust appetizer menu, a full bar, and a daily happy hour menu that applies mostly to alcohol purchases. If you're looking for wine here, the bar offers a variety, with the house wines - excellently priced at $8-$9/glass - comprised fully of Rutherford grown grapes. Somebody here knows what's up. A friend who'd talked up The Speakeasy for years is besotted by the Marsala Sautéed Chicken Livers ($11) on the bar menu. Not ever a fan of liver, I avoided sampling his until we'd collectively polished off an order of Baked Goat Cheese ($10) and a trio of Pulled Pork Tacos ($13). He'd grown full and much liver remained which is when I learned that I do like chicken liver. Or rather, I like chicken liver as prepared at The Speakeasy. All of the above pretty much had me fan-girling out over this place but then this happened: We were done, requested our check, and were told that someone that evening had picked up the tab for the entire bar, something I've not experienced in my lifetime. I already liked The Speakeasy a whole lot before learning my food and drink were free of charge. Like changed to rabid fandom when this occurred. I know that I can't expect a full repeat of this experience but even if it's just chicken livers and Cabernet, that'll be enough.

We were the only group in the whole restaurant and it took us about 10 minutes to get service. Staff after staff member walked past us and looked at us and continued on. I ordered beer, a pizza, got my kid a pizza. Friend ordered different beer, a sandwich, and some pasta for her kid. Food came out timely. Looked fine. Was exceptionally underwhelming. A frozen pizza would've tasted better. Crust was thick and cardboard like. Margherita had large half moon chunks of tomato on it. Ranch was sour and thick. They mixed our beers up. Everything was edible. But in a school cafeteria way. Everything was worth less than half what we paid. We were ignored after the food was dropped off. No one checked on us. We probably could've just walked out and no one would've cared. We hunted down the check so we could finally leave. We spent $100 on food here and were hit with a mysterious 4% surcharge. Instead of arguing since I was absolutely over this place I just took it and decided to make sure to never come back.
