Water and coffee quickly followed and I perused the menu. Diverse options and interesting creations. Recommended by my server, I went with the celery root potato pancakes. They were a revelation as was the whole experience. The homemade green hot sauce was available for personalizing your flavor profile....highly recommended! (I asked if I could buy some to take home.)Comfortable spot in the window, the vibe is quiet, confident, and welcoming. I don't think you could go wrong here. Hope you can try it soon.

We chose this place based on its ratings, so we had high expectations. Unfortunately the food and…read moreservice were underwhelming. My salad was drenched in dressing and the fruit tasted off. My boyfriend's eggs were runny despite having asked for them to be scrambled hard. My niece didn't like her pancakes, and the group generally felt the food was bland. The service was also spotty. After remaking my boyfriend's eggs they forgot his toast. Then when the toast came they forgot the jam. The waitress didn't ask about drink refills, though she did refill my coffee. The ambiance was fine, but not the special holiday brunch spot we had imagined. Next time we'll find a different Larkspur restaurant.

Most people could not get answers as to what was going on, our phone said that the order was received....but nothing else. I got the cashier to finally go back and ask the kitchen what was going on.

Finally someone came out and said that he could not give me a refund. I had to go to a website and input my receipt to get refunded. WHAT?!?!?!? We left. It was awful and there were tons of people waiting for salads that would not be coming for a long time. WHAT THE HECK!!??!?!!?? HORRRRRRIBLE SERVICE.

Off the main street in Mill Valley, Mama's Luncheonette also has fresh juices in addition to their wraps. My friend and I split the lamb wrap and, me being a fries freak, I had to try the za'atar fries: fresh potatoes fried up with spices. Za'atar is described as a traditional Middle Eastern spice blend made from herbs, sesame seeds, sumac, and salt. So delicious! The combo of lamb plus the fries definitely made for a tasty, albeit smaller, meal. Love the upbeat service here. Great spot for a casual bite to eat or when you've got a fries craving.

The food itself was good but nothing amazing. I liked that the burrito is filling. My issues were: 1. The brisket was almost flavorless, it just gets lost in the burrito which isn't what I was expecting. But I guess the $3 add on should have been a sign. 2. The burrito has a salsa in it that was spicier than I was mentally prepared for. I KNOW I have a low tolerance for spice though so this is 100% personal 3. The juices were just okay.

My biggest problem was one of the waiters touching random people to ask if they're doing good? This was a dining room filled with mostly women so it felt really flipping awkward after. Don't touch people, they don't like that, I didn't even know you were coming up to touch me. Anyways the chorizo hash was fine but it probably should've had diced instead of sliced bell peppers. The salsas it came with were fine, nothing extraordinary. I'm mostly bummed out because this was one of the higher rated diners here and I was looking forward to it.

I did some research on brunch places. Comforts being one of them…read more The six of us planned to meet at 10am Saturday arriving from Contra Costa County, San Francisco County, and locally from San Rafael. Pro tip: the entire party needs to be present to be seated. Hubby and I were running late. Got there at 10:30am. Found our party seated inside. It was okay as long as they ordered without waiting for us. Comforts is both a restaurant with indoor and outdoor dining, and a separate take out deli bakery. Known for their Chinese chicken salad which we all planned to purchase at the deli after brunch. We all enjoyed what we ordered - * pork carnitas hash + eggs - hubby & BIL both had this. Very hearty meal. * stuffed pecan crusted French toast - sis had 1/2 order. I tasted it. Thought very sweet. * eggs your way- friend enjoyed. She ate the scone but left the jasmine rice. * farmers breakfast - both friend & I had this. My eggs cooked perfectly. Griddle pancakes excellent. Service was friendly and efficient. We finished brunch within an hour. Automatic gratuity as we were party of six. Then moseyed over to the deli bakery. You need to pull a number located by the bakery front door. I bought three bakery items and a large box of the Chinese chicken salad. The peanut butter cookie and the chocolate chip cookie were very sweet. Definitely need a glass of milk or a strong cup of coffee. The lemon bar was very good. Very lemony with a thin crust. Being a Saturday the deli bakery was very busy. We had the Chinese chicken salad as a side for dinner. It was good but I'll pass on it next time.

Embarrassingly for Marin, only two restaurants made the list--including Lou's. It definitely lives up to its reputation. First, yes, it takes calling often! I called on a Thursday and it literally took calling over 50 times to get past the busy signal. Once I got through, ordering was really easy. I was even able to pick my pickup time. If you can't get through, don't despair. At 6:15 when I picked up my order, people were still able to walk up and order, although only a few entree choices were left. Everything we had was just so flavorful. The fried chicken was the favorite, rhen the beef birria. But the fried shrimp (which was pretty spicy!) and herby roast chicken was also delicious.

The place is mostly take out, although there is a small out door first come seating area. Service is exceptional and the food is incredible. Never had a bad meal here. In fact everytime I order I am amazed at the quality of the produce, ingredients and flavors. The chef has an amazing ability to satisfy even the toughest food critic in your family. If you are looking for a great food experience that compiles exceptional food with top notch customer service from people who truly love what they do, look no further!

They got my iced tea order wrong (I ordered two, got one, ordered a second one). Other than that, everything was fine. We arrived at the start of lunch hour so we got there at the right time.

**Do not come here if you have celiac, or are eating gluten free**…read more They are not gluten friendly. Workers are not aware of what does or doesn't have gluten in it. I told them I was gluten free, and they served me a salad with farro and bread. Also, a salad with chicken and an iced tea was $35. Granted, taste was fine and portions were large. Would rate 3 stars if it weren't for the gluten mishap. I'm lucky I don't have a severe allergy.

My wife and I opted for salads on this visit. The cost feels a bit high, but the salads are huge and feel well worth the cost. I had the Thai Chicken salad. I love the dressing on the salad and the crunch from the peanuts and crispy wontons is so good! The chili lime chicken has a nice tangy flavor and the veggies all give a nice, herby flavor. My wife had the Tostada salad, which has a delicious, smoky and sweet flavored dressing. My daughter had their chicken tenders and fries, which she enjoyed. This is a great place for larger groups, and its location on Grant Ave is brings a lot of excitement to this downtown Novato neighborhood.
