Met up with an old chef buddy who had recently sold his French Bakery/Bread company. It was Veterans Day and our first choice was closed. So we walked a bit around the corner and came upon a nicely bustling Salt & Pepper. Its menu was a kind of meld of standard American burger/seafood/steak casual and classic French options. Alain ordered an Eggs Benedict. I had a burger medium w fries, not a difficult dish to put out. The waiter made a point of asking the temp on the burger, so I thought it was a serious question. The Benedict looked fine and Alain had no problem putting it away. My burger was dry - well done - but otherwise fine. Good brioche bun, fresh onion, tomato, etc. Fries were good. Unimpressed by the lunch entree, and wanting to hang out longer, we got dessert: apple pie a la mode for me, creme brûlée for him. The brûlée looked fine. The pie was good but clearly not a from scratch deal. The filling was overly sweet, resembling pre-mades I've had plenty of times. Good ice cream, heavily laced with vanilla bean. Oh, backing up for a second: my IPA was a good reco by the waiter as well. At $20 + for the burger, $14 for each dessert, it felt like there was a missing value proposition. A little tourist trappy in the overall feel. read more

Salt & Pepper Belvedere Tiburon CA Sat 8/19/23 © Hidden Gem I discovered during pandemic! Revisiting the memories...2020/21 Please read my review...must've been in the Fall Seghesio Sonoma Zin! This ain't your average Zin! Seafood, Bar, American traditional. Love! First, I select the wine! Seghesio Family Vineyards established in 1895 in Sonoma! Bottled in Healdsburg! Zin '21! Ain't your average Zin! These old vines were planted back in 1895 & they were tended to by 5 generations! Vibrant, balanced, & bold, very good wine, easily drinkable, sure delicious & juicy, and no interference with my driving back home from over the Golden Gate Bridge for an hour and a half! Cheers! Ode to Salt & Pepper Belvedere Tiburon! Don't mix it up with Salt-N-Peppa concert at Chase Center SF that I went to following Data+AI Summit back in June'23! Friendliest waiters in town, delicious food served with love in Tiburon. This time it's Osman, prior visits, Alberto, everyone is the best! Before or after your meal, walk down to the shore and enjoy Belvedere Lagoon views and San Francisco skyline, it is truly magnificent! Reminiscing over the past visits... Ah the sights, the sounds.. the tastes! Immerse into local neighborhood ambiance with a flare of comfortable feeling of being at home. I still remember how exceptionally well it went with a bottle of Folie à deux Zin from Sonoma Dry Creek Valley. *Folie à deux - madness shared by two... also known as SDD, shared delusional disorder, hallucinations transmitted from one to another. Google it:) This Saturday night dinner occurred on the way southbound from Marin..Montecito/ San Rafael/ Corte Madera towards home, about 60 miles. Perfect timing to stop in Tiburon! Luckily, they didn't increase their prices by much, I was curious to check, as all & everywhere is more expensive than prior to pandemic. Most apps & entrées $2 more, Rack of Lamb $5 more. From Seafood: that bowl of Steamed clams! Scrumptious! Slurped every last drop of the rich Bouillabaisse broth! With garlic, chopped parsley, lemon wedges & garlic bread! 24 From the Grill: Grilled skirt steak in chipotle honey glaze! Caramelized onions on top, with French fries side & house spicy ketchup! 29 From the Oven: Organic Roast chicken, whole half! Heavenly garlic mushed potatoes, caramelized baby carrots & fennel, unique! 29 Housemade Tiramisù to sweeten the night! 14 Hot tea pot with lemon wedge, no cream or sugar! 4.5 Dined at Salt & Pepper in Tiburon several times during COVID pandemic, back in the fall of 2020 and spring of 2021... masks and all, felt safe. Outside tables are cozy and there are gas warmers readily available. Chatted with Alberto, who told me there was no shortage for takeout orders & great support by locals during the worst of lockdowns when you couldn't dine even outside. Be sure to begin with clams and/or mussels. You're at the Belvedere Marina. Seafood is a must. It's amazing to me how the Chef brings together restaurant quality cooking with homemade feel in every dish. Great combination of flavors! Every meal I have had at Salt & Pepper was memorable in its own way. You'd have to come back many times to explore the menu. Everything came out perfectly tasty. So there you go, Salt & Pepper is favored by locals, with consistent quality of good, reliable friendly service, and enjoyable overall experience. Coming back soon! *I don't give a damn for the same old played out scenes Baby I don't give a damn for just the in betweens Honey, I want the heart, I want the soul, I want control right now You better listen to me baby!

I love this gem in the heart of Tiburon! They boast an extensive menu of cocktails, wine and food for a smallish size restaurant. The wait staff is attentive and accommodating. Outdoor seating is perfect for casual window shoppers while the intimate inside white table-clothed dining room warrants a date night out. Our favorite...the crab stack salad! read more

A cute little restaurant in Tiburon. It was crowded at 1:30pm when we got there. We ordered three cheese linguini and salmon scrambled eggs. Both are tasty. If you're a cheese lover, I'd highly recommend the three cheese linguini. There is a parking lot right next to the restaurant. read more

They didn't seem to have made a note of my reservation when I called over a week in advance, but it wasn't busy, thankfully, at 11:30 AM on Father's day. They get 5 stars because the food, coffee, and service was impeccable. We sat outside, so the ambiance was chill, with lots of sunshine and dogs. We had a half-caf latte and a decaf cappuccino, both were perfect. The crab avocado toast was pretty good, and the side salad was nice, but we enjoyed our other two dishes more: the prosciutto arugula Benedict, which was absolutely perfect, and the buckwheat crepes with lingonberries, which was nice and light, though maybe a little too light on the lingonberries. Short version: it wasn't cheap, but it was really good, would definitely go back. That prosciutto arugula Benedict is not to be missed, and I would definitely order it again. read more

Great little spot to grab breakfast, staff is friendly and service was quick and attentive. I ordered the buttermilk pancakes and an iced coffee.

Their is indoor and outdoor seating with parking around the corner. read more

All these stars are strictly for the staff. Our server was sooo nice, provided great service and good conversation. He even brought our little doggies some water. The outdoor seating is also nice and clean. The food was just so bland. All of it. Literally at the end of the meal, I said "for a place named Salt & Pepper, it seems those two things were missing from all our dishes. read more

Great Brunch. We were headed to the ferry for Angel Island and wanted a quick bite first and ran into this spot. Intimate and lovely inside with the back wall mirror that makes the room feel twice as big. Service was great. They gave us recommendations for foodand drink (delicious strawberry mimosa). Food was super good and not too heavy- perfect to fuel us up for our bike ride around the island. I would definitely recommend for those visiting in Tiburon. read more

We visited twice. Once for lunch and another time to pick up a quick dessert. For lunch we ordered steak tacos and steamed clams. The steak tacos were on a soft corn tortilla. They were filled with steak cubes and a nice pico de gallo salsa. The plate also came with a very bright salad. It was packaged nicely and traveled well. Our clams were flavorful. They came with a garlic topped, grilled bread. I wasn't able to try the bread, but my husband said it was delicious. I would have preferred if the clams had come in a lidded container vs a cardboard box, but we did not have problems. On another visit, we tried the crème brûlée to go. It's prepared in a ramekin, and they somehow nudged it out of the ramekin and into a to-go container, while keeping it looking beautiful. It was rich and creamy! Would definitely visit again! read more

Originally we had plans to eat at Sam's across the street but there was a mob outside on Friday right before opening. A little surprising, if you ask me. We did think to stick it out but after reading some of their reviews on Yelp, we thought to look elsewhere. Enter Salt & Pepper. When we walked up, we noticed that it was pretty empty so we asked for a table outside. We were tersely told no outside tables without a reservation. But it was empty? And Friday at noon? Were all the tables really booked? When we tried to ask how long the wait would be we were interrupted and "reminded" that there would be no seating without reservation. It was pretty rude to be honest. But we were persistent and asked again and when she tried to interject again, my dad had to raise his voice to get the question through (how long would a wait be without a reservation?). She huffs off and a few minutes later she returns and tells us a table will be ready in a few minutes. ?????!! Okay....?! Luckily after this exchange, everything else went smoothly and we enjoyed a very nice brunch. For the table, we split the seared scallops salad. They cut the sea scallops in half but they do give maybe 2.5 scallops worth of meat so it's not a huge loss. The spicy arugula paired well with the fresh sweet grilled corn and the cherry tomatoes. The dressing was a lemon vinaigrette with a touch of truffle oil. It was delicious and very summer appropriate! For my main, I had the gravlox benedict which featured smoked salmon. One of my poached eggs was a little over done and more jammy than runny but the other was perfect! I liked the pairing with smoked salmon and the salty bite from the capers. The meal was served with hashbrowns and S&P does it right. Nice and crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. My brother had the crab benedict which featured pieces of dungeness crab. It was actually meaty chunks and not just shredded crab - nice! Mom had the fish tacos which featured sea bass and it was wonderfully buttery - definitely an upgrade to basic fish tacos. Dad had a plate of clams which was very generous and served with 2 slices of housemade garlic bread. Seemed like more bread would have been nice to dip up all the juice. All in all brunch and drinks cost us just over $150 with tip. Considering every dish featured some kind of seafood, it was a pretty fair on pricing. read more

We came here with my fiancé's parents before taking the Tiburon ferry over to Angel Island. We appreciated the covered outdoor seating in the back with some jade plants and other foliage. Service was great, our server even took photos for us to capture the moment. Food was mediocre though. Service 4 stars, food 2 stars. Seafood stew- not impressed, noodle texture was too soft, not enough flavor in broth. Seafood was okay, nothing special. Clam chowder- very milky and light broth, a different take on clam chowder, less heavy. We liked it, the onion and celery had a nice crunch, and on a warmer day this is good (vs a tradition clam chowder with a thick rich broth). Crab sandwich- was okay, a bit heavy on the mayo, small and light on crab. Came with sweet potato fries which was needed since the sandwich was small. Crab cakes- nice outer fry. A bit salty for my taste, which distracted from the crab flavor. The mango salad side was fresh and tasty. read more

I was really surprised on how fast we were seated on Mother's Day and the staff is very friendly. We also discovered that you can bring your 4 legged family member with you. I started with their beet salad which is really good. I like that you get the red and blonde beets mixed with a fresh mix lettuce. Then had the skirt tacos which were cooked to perfection and very satisfying to the point fingers kept stealing the meat. Our 1st time here and will be back again. read more

Roasted garlic appetizer with cheese was delicious as was the roasted beet salad with goat cheese (had a hard time choosing a salad - they had so many great options!)

Cutest little restaurant ever. We sat outdoors with the tables set 6ft apart. The entire staff was really friendly. The steak was amazing!! So flavorful, and you are not even going to add anything to it. They remade my steak because it was too well done. I asked for medium, and they remade it, and made it amazing! The wine was great, and if you had left over, you can take them home. read more

Great Omelettes, Challah French Toast, and freshly squeezed Orange Juice. Service is quick.

Food: My party thoroughly enjoyed their food. My favorite was the clam chowder, which was very flavorful. The creme brulee was also very creamy and the perfect amount of sweetness. I think the reason I gave gave 4 stars was because my salmon burger was a bit dry. Service: The service was the best! The waiter, a proficient polyglot, spoke to us in English, Italian, Spanish, and Tagalog! He was great at conversation and was very attentive. read more

Came to Tiburon for a day hike and stopped by here for brunch. We had our dog with us, so we sat outside. We ordered the clam chowder, tuna tartare, and ribeye steak with eggs. I also ordered a cappuccino. The clam chowder was my favorite out of the items we ordered, it wasn't the typical thick clam chowder, but rather a thinner consistency. I actually enjoyed that! It was different, tasted fresh and had clams on top too. The tuna tartare was more like a poke, I was expecting the tuna to be more minced, but it was in large chunks. The ribeye and eggs were good too, but they were a bit cold since we ate it last. Overall, we enjoyed our brunch here. They even brought a water bowl out for our dog, which was a nice touch. I would recommend! read more

Our experience at this place was short BUT, delicious. We just finished dinner at a restaurant across the street and decided to make a stop at this restaurant for dessert. The hostess was sweet and helpful. The waiter was kind and hilarious. We got our dessert quickly and believe you me, they didn't last long! Crème brûlée: was breath taking. The strawberries add so much to the dessert. I personally am not a fan of strawberries but it was PERFECT with this dessert. Chocolate soufflé: was AMAZING! It was a brownie on steroids. The top was hard and crunchy, and the bottom was soft and gooey. Both of these desserts were amazing! We wish we had our whole meal here because the whole menu sounded delicious. read more
