Postmates said my delivery person was a Jeremy on a motorbike, and it was a woman in a red car with a man driving who also asked me if I ordered from Belli Deli, and if I was looking for Uber Eats. He was able to eventually point out the lady on the other side of the building. Was my first experience with The Melt and there will not be a repeat.

My mom and I took a stroll through the new farmer's market in Hamilton Landing on opening day. It's…read moreevery Thursday 11am-3pm through the end of the year. It's right behind Villas at Hamilton and in front of the Bay Trail - between hangars 6 and 7. PRODUCE There were just a couple produce booths - one smaller and one bigger (neither was organic from what I could tell) with many samples of berries and stone fruits. I got cherries for $6.50 a basket and "cosmetically imperfect" plums and nectarines for $1.50/lb. My mom got red onions, lettuce, and broccoli (3 veggies for $10) and squash (yellow and zucchini plus a bonus kind given to her). SPECIALTY FOODS There were a handful of specialty food vendors, including Heather Stuckenbroker (Marin Foodies member) with her famous rum cakes (we bought one original and one chocolate - $4 each), as well as an assortment of sweet and savory spreads. From the Butterbars booth, I bought was a Dulce de Leche Butterbar ($4) to bring home to my husband. I also sampled the Ube Cheese and it was very tasty. They have a deal where you can six (one of each flavor) for $16. Auntie O's was there (delicious baked goods), The Juicery, and a few others with savory offerings (Mexican and Middle Eastern), all or most of whom are also at the main Novato farmer's market on Tuesdays. FOOD TRUCKS We got lunch from the two food trucks on site. The first was Lotus Grill Vietnamese Cuisine - run by a delightful local couple. The fresh spring rolls with shrimp and noodles (2 for $7 is a deal) with peanut dipping sauce hit the spot. Next time, I want to try their other menu item - bahn mi sandwich. The other truck was Sojuilla415 - Korean Mexican fusion, so I got two street tacos ($4 each) with bulgogi (steak), which was very flavorful and medium spicy. Their bulgogi fries also sounded tempting ($10 on the reverse side of the specials board) and I'd like to get the Super Burrito. The Roli Roti rotisserie chicken truck was there also. OTHER TIPS If you have CalFresh, there is a booth to exchange Snap benefits for dollars/tokens and they give a $10 bonus. There was also a face painting booth by Party Faces (artist friend who is a pro) and live music - a one man band. Miscellaneous other merchandise booths were there as well - like one with handmade (I think) boutique baby clothes. In one adjacent hangar, a new cafe - Kitchen - has breakfast, lunch, and bakery items. In front of the opposite hangar, there is a large open area with many tables and chairs (some shaded), as well as a lawn. My mom and I enjoyed our lunch there. I hope the market will attract more vendors to match the amount of interested customers - the front parking lot (where the library used to be) was almost full around 11:30.

Please heed my warning (and those of the other most recent reviews!) and save yourself the time,…read moremoney, effort, and stress - hire literally ANY other caterer for your event. After months of poor communication and several displays of unprofessionalism, I tried to cancel our contract 6 weeks prior to our wedding date. I was in a dispute with the owner (Gabe) to try and get a refund for an event he hadn't even catered, and he refused to provide it. Note that the owner himself has stated that he thinks his business is headed to an end. See attached photo for text messages I received from him with this claim. If anything, you don't want to work with someone who cannot maintain a professional demeanor in their client correspondence. In case you need further convincing to NOT hire Ring of Fire, feel free to read through my ordeal below. --- In February of this year, I reached out in search of a wedding caterer. Gabe invited me and my partner to a complimentary tasting with other couples who were interested in booking. The tasting went great (the ONLY thing that went well in all my interactions with them) so we booked and paid a 50% deposit. Over the next few months I reached out to get deadlines and feedback on our proposed menu. After repeated attempts to contact him, the only time he really reached out was to offer a discount on our balance if we paid it early. In hindsight, this should have been a *red flag* - no professional would ever reach out to a client to ask them to pay something in advance of the contract terms unless they were poorly managing their business and finances. Instead, thinking it was gesture of customer service, we went ahead and paid our balance early to get the discount. However, after paying, Gabe unprofessionally asked us to reschedule our already confirmed site tour in favor of booking another lunch. My wedding coordinator and I agreed to reschedule, only to have him NO SHOW for the site tour. 15 minutes after the confirmed meeting time I called Gabe to get his ETA. He didn't seem to know where our venue was (even though he accepted a calendar event with the date, time, and address in it) and told me was still 50 minutes away so we proceeded without him. Had we waited, he would have been OVER AN HOUR LATE. At this point, I lost faith that ROF could cater my event. We were still 6 weeks away from our date so I requested to cancel our contract and get back the balance payment (that HE requested we pay early). Needless to say, he did not want to grant the refund. I worked with an attorney and determined the best course of action was to file a dispute with the credit card company AND to sue him in small claims court as backup. Luckily, the credit card company resolved the dispute in my favor but I still experienced an extreme amount of stress trying to book a new caterer with less than 6 weeks from my wedding date - something I would never wish on any bride. Again, please save yourself the stress and look elsewhere for your caterer.

They were late in getting to my friends birthday celebration. Uncalled for.! The food was just okay but there was not enough for any seconds on appetizers. The staff seemed to not really know what was going on and did their best, alas the coup d'etat that the dessert was melted. Relatives of the birthday party ended up going to a local store to get dessert for the party because the catering staff was at a loss of what to do, to fix the problem, it was awful. This company is so unprofessional. I would never recommend them to anyone. Just bad, bad, bad on every level.

So I've heard plenty about this place and wanted to check it out because honestly the places around…read moretown in Novato that are Mexican food just don't really cut it. Don't get me wrong. They're fine, but just not true Mexican food.. I'm really glad that I did and I was not disappointed. The weight staff was on top of everything took our drink orders right away offered appetizers. We ordered the guacamole and I got to tell you the guacamole was to die for it did not taste processed or anything. I probably could've eaten the whole bowl because it was that good and the serving was huge! My husband ordered the chicken enchiladas with a green sauce, which she did offer two other options for sauce and he opted for the green sauce cause he thought it wouldn't be that spicy, but it was a tad bit spicy for him. It comes with a rice and beans your choice of whether you want black beans or pinto beans and of course he chose black beans because he loves black beans. The rice is not your typical side of rice that you normally get at a Mexican restaurant it has so much flavor in it and it was very light and fluffy. I ordered the Carne Asada tacos with pinto beans. And again it was very tasty. I could not finish my second taco just because I was filling up on all the guacamole and a beer before hand so I ended up taking my food home. The flavors in my tacos were so good and it was not dry steak. It was so moist and tender. You could probably cut it with a fork! The flavors were just perfectly matched and not too spicy. We will definitely go back there again and try a few more things off the menu. They are open fairly late so that's a plus. It's definitely a must try place so hope to see you there soon! Before I go, let's talk about the decor. It is so nicely decorated in there. It makes you wanna stay a little bit longer just because it makes it so nice and comfy. They redid the place much to a heritage. Definitely gonna go back!

There will be more to follow as were are on a path to try an raise awareness and hopefully fix the poor service and training of staff we experience too often We HATE being rushed, that feeling you get when the server takes away a plate the second you eat the last bite, even when others in you party still have food left or taking a glass even when there is a drop left. Today at happy hour we sat at the bar and the barman took our free chips and salsa with half the tray of chips still left. Then before we finished our second drink he brought the check with a typical "no rush" comment. We did not say we were finished, he did not ask if we wanted anything else. There a strange sort of passive aggressive treatment to the customer. Growing up in the UK and being a waiter in my youth we were trained to never rush the customer, don't clear plates until the last person finishes so there is not the feeling of rushing them. Too often there's a feeling of treating the customer without true care and then expecting an exorbitant 20% tip We've been to Mamitas many times before, usually the chips are left and if you run out of salsa a replacement is brought out. The staff would not drop off a check unless we had asked for it I prefer eating at home to anything else but sometimes you want to go out. You just want decent,affordable food and staff that are professional, well trained and don't become the focal point of your evening. We always sit at the bar as the waiters are way too over eager, sadly now the bar staff are doing the same. . Maybe it's time to retrain the managers? Either way we're tired of paying $50-$100 with plates cleared and a 'don't let the door hit you on the way out' feeling within a half hour. Life is getting too expensive for that.

UPDATED REVIEW:…read more What a disappointment! My family placed a lunch order for take out for Mother's Day that did not meet expectations. We knew they would be very busy today so we made sure to place the order early at 11:00. My mom only wanted a cheese enchilada but unfortunately it was about 1/3 of the size of the usual cheese enchiladas that my dad ordered. We did not order a child size enchilada! I called to voice my concerns and the lady that answered the phone was the same frazzled person I had called my order in to. She was clearly very busy and overwhelmed with the volume of Mothers Day orders they were not prepared for. She apologized and did not show any concern to make the order right. I ended up sharing my chicken quesedilla with mom, but have noted that after this experience we wont be going back to Tommy's Salsa anytime soon. Do better Tommy's Salsa by ensuring that all to go orders are properly prepared to meet customer expectations.

We finally decided to come and sit down. We were not disappointed in the food. I had my super burrito with steak and as always, it was delicious. My wife had two tacos À la carte.

The one thing I was let down was the amount of chips and salsa given out as we sat down. There were three of us and we received two small bowls of green and red salsa. When I say small, they were the size of the bowl you order fries and they give you ketchup. Now, for the price you pay for Mexican food now a day, I am expecting a little more salsa and chips. I will be coming back, as the food is great, and the people are so nice. Just don't be so frugal on the chips and salsa.
