honestly, a pretty decent brunch spot located in the heart of tiburon, right next to amazing bay views and cute boutique shops. with plenty of outdoor seating, it's a perfect place to have brunch on the weekend with your girlfriends, which is exactly how i dined there. we came in starving, and decided to share three plates amongst three people. we ended up ordering: ricotta pancakes, a breakfast quesadilla, and a crab omelette. the ricotta pancakes were perfectly fluffy and it's definitely a dish i'd reorder the next time i'm here. the breakfast quesadilla and crab omelette were good, with the omelette coming out on top. however, it was a bit hard to taste the crab, and the breakfast quesadilla did leave a bit more to be desired. moreover, the prices here are pretty steep for the kind of food they offer. i'm personally giving this place 4 stars because of the neighborhood it's in and the surrounding places to explore after brunch. p.s. - we saw klay thompson dining here once haha read more

This review is for weekend brunches, although Salt & Pepper is also a solid dinner option in downtown Tiburon. For years we would get weekend brunch with our family at New Morning Cafe around the corner. Great Omelettes and breakfast food and friendly staff who we got to know as people. Happily, the same great staff and brunch food moved to Salt & Pepper when New Morning closed. And we go there most weekends, where I order pretty much exactly the same "make my own" omelette every time. Why mess with success? read more

Came in during the end of the dinner hour & was treated exceptionally. The food was outstanding & the service & hospitality was heart warming! Also in a beautiful location & the restaurant had a charming ambiance. Would 100% recommend to a friend! read more

Came here for brunch and I'm so glad that we did. Loved the view on the way to this restaurant. Hubby and I decided to share crab benedict and their special crepe. Opted for their freshly squeezed orange juice, so refreshing. Definitely a cute little place with really delicious food. Staff were so kind and friendly. Highly recommend this place. read more

Mis made my order (I was VERY clear 3x during ordering about my dietary needs) the had three people come yell at me that it was my fault. No issue with a food error (I make errors all the time) but to yell at customers when it's not their fault is unacceptable. Used to like but service here has gotten rude. read more

What a shame. I really wanted to like this place but there was something that just didn't quite fit. The service was slow but I wasn't in a hurry and my order was slightly underwhelming. Ordered probably the simplest thing on the menu, after being told oysters were only served at dinner. I might give it another try and hopefully I get a different vibe. read more

The Avocado BLT is one of the best sandwiches around. The corned beef hash for breakfast is outstanding. Overall, this is a solid good spot in a cute little town. Local frequent this spot, which is a good sign. read more

Shrimp bisque to start and voices of pasta or apps or burger for dinner. We enjoyed along is a glass of Hess Cab and a Tiburon blonde ale. Nice evening away from smoke and valley heat. Karl is here. read more

My friend and I were super excited to try his place after reading all of the glowing reviews, but neither of us were really that impressed with it unfortunately. I got the black and bleu burger and my friend got the roasted garlic starter. Prices do increase between lunch and dinner, as most places do. My friend liked her roast garlic, but the burger was unfortunately not worth the price they had on it. The bun was a bit soggy and lukewarm - it took a while to come out so we wondered if maybe they had forgotten about it or we just caught them on a bad day. It wasn't bad by any means, but I don't think it was good enough where we would want to come back. We just wanted to try something new other than our usual spots. Service was good and friendly. read more

We had a late lunch at this establishment, and the food was delicious. Among our party One of us ordered the crab Benedict another the tuna melts another person got the hamburger and the fourth of us got the mussels. Each dish was delicious. The price point was fine not too expensive, but not budget, but best of all the wait staff were so friendly and accommodating. I left my binoculars as we were leaving, and the waitperson came running after us with the binoculars as we had already walked a block away to find us and return them so thank you so much for a wonderful birthday luncheon at salt and pepper read more

I used to eat here when I first started coming to SF and stayed in Tiburon a few times, and have been trying to get the family to visit. The front is kind of non-descript, so they kept wanting to go to some of the other delicious places there, but I finally got them to try it and they were bowled over! The staff is super-friendly, and everything is prepared to the highest standards. I'm almost loathe to write a review in case it attracts too many folks and we are no longer able to fit in! Inside is cozy, and there are outside tables too. Again, this venue is so much more than it appears from the listing, you owe it to yourself to try it, and I hope again I don't blow open any Tiburon insider's secret by wholeheartedly recommending the place! read more

Visited for the first time and we enjoyed it very much. The place is small and very cozy on a narrow street with payed parking next door. They serve beer and wine and the staff was great and very attentive! Will surely return again! read more

BEST SERVICE!!!! Truly best matcha latte I've ever had... I had to write a review!! 10/10 thank you Ana! read more

I've never ever ever had a bad meal at Salt & Pep!! The breakfast/brunch is my favorite in Southern Marin. The scrambles are unmatched. Everyone is so kind and helpful, and the cozy classic vibes in a historic ark house are perfect for dinner with a loved one. read more

Located on what might be the shortest Main St in America in the town of Tiburon, Salt & Pepper offered a menu of American dishes and was a popular place for lunch on a sunny weekend afternoon. There was plenty of seafood on the menu, and I started with the Crab Louie salad, which came with lettuce, avocado, tomato, cucumber, celery, egg, and of course, Dungeness crab, along with the classic creamy Louie dressing on the side. We also had the more interestingly-plated Sesame Seared Ahi Tuna salad, a crunchy slaw of green and red cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, and sprouts in a creamy soy and ginger dressing, topped with slices of rare ahi tuna coated with white and black sesame seeds. Finally, we had the plate of Steamed P.E.I. Mussels, which came in a warm, tomato-based bouillabaisse broth and topped with crispy gremolata toast (made with a topping of parsley, lemon zest, and garlic), which was perfect for dunking into the soup. Overall, while the food here was decent and service was quick, the prices were extremely overblown and reflective of the restaurant's prime location. read more

Hey, what a lovely little spot. I haven't had such a good breakfast in a very long time. Let me start with these wonderful pancakes. Lemon ricotta... More like heavenly pancakes. I loved that there was very little baking soda flavor in them and just right on the texture. Fresh fruits weren't included but they weren't needed. The pancakes came with only a syrup and even that wasn't needed because of enough flavor. Huge kudos to Chef for a very good mix. Before the pancakes came a set of crab meat egg Benedicts. Are you kidding me? They were so good that I was ready to lick the plate. I think the chef added a bit of lemon peelings to either a sauce or the english muffins at the bottom. Very unique and tasty. Those egg Benedict made me wish that I lived 400 miles closer to "Salt and Pepper" than I do right now. Hopefully I will get a chance to visit the restaurant again. All right, all right, even though it was a 5-star breakfast, it wasn't all perfect after all. The coffee was is just absolute crap. Tasted like diluted garbage from IHOP. I really wish them to brew a better cup of coffee but for everything else I'm ready to come back here any day. read more

From my 91 year old mother, Virginia: Today I had lunch with a group of 15 friends at "Salt and Pepper" in Tiburon, CA. We plan our monthly luncheons together at this restaurant because we love having lunch there. Not only is the food delicious, but the service is perfect and the wait staff friendly and efficient. The menu offers a wide assortment of delicious foods from soups to sandwiches, salads, and much more. We chose to be seated in an enclosed "outdoor" area that is protected but not too cold and that has heaters in case of a really cold day. There are many good local restaurants to choose from, but this is by far one of the best, and we are already planning to return next month. read more

Had the Ahi Tuna Tartare last week and it was yummy! On another occasion had the avocado toast and it was great! Love this place and am never disappointed. You don't have the deck or a view but the food is scrumptious! Waitstaff is top notch and there is always great people watching opportunities! read more

Liked this place. Positives are the very friendly staff and the delicious menu. We were going to go to Sam's but decided on Sat and Pepper after comparing menus. OK, the setting here isn't as striking as Sam's but it's quiet and was lovely in the sun. We both ordered a beer which showed up immediately and nice and cold. I had the crab melt which was delicious, hubby had the tuna melt which was also delicious. We both would order both again. read more

Cute location on Main Street in Tiburon. Ambiance inside and outside on the back patio is bright and cozy. Adorable! Came for a late brunch (2 PMish) on a Sunday. I had been wanting to try this place for a while! Very good service, hostess sat us right away on the back patio (per our preference). Throughout the meal our waitress and the bus boy were super attentive. I had the two free range eggs any style (scrambled) with sausage and hash browns and sourdough toast. A hard no to the hash browns...they were flavorless and chewy. Everything else was great though. Accomplice had the ricotta pancakes (he approved of them, which says a lot because he is very particular), a glass of Rose, and a side of sausage. Would definitely come again! read more

I thought it would be better. The restaurant is somewhat small so I had to sit outside. Luckily, the had heaters. All the food was under seasoned. The salad was bland. The calamari was also bland and not crispy. The main dishes was definitely under seasoned. The sundae was just a normal sundae. Too bad, I had more hope for this place. read more

We just walked in this restaurant when we did Tiburon History Trail. This trail is our favorite trail at Marin. We saw a lot of people eating there. Usually that's a good sign of nice food. We ordered local beer, fried calamari, chicken linguini with three cheeses, and BLTA sandwich. Calamari was very fresh and tasty. My linguini was very rich with three different cheeses, chicken Breast was also very fresh. Of course, I added my favorite hot pepper flakes. Sandwich was also chewy. Waiter was nice and server well. I highly recommend it. read more

Ate there for dinner then breakfast next day. I enjoyed Seafood Spaghettini and had Apple / Ice cream dessert. We started with crab cakes. Food is fresh, came out quickly and service great! Well worth it. Wine list was not long but had good choices. For breakfast I had a crab omelette. It came with toast and hash browns. Again the food came out quickly and tasted great! Service was very good. All employees wore masks and you wear a mask til you sit down or when you go to bathroom. Great find on Main Street! read more

Super delicious! The calamari, scallop salad, and ahi tuna salad were all incredible. Also got a strawberry mimosa for lunch and it was very refreshing, not too sweet. Would go here regularly if we were locals, will make a trip back on our next vacation! A special place and incredible service and attention from our waiter Osman. read more

Salt & Pepper - Ahi tuna salad, best dressing!! - American Near Me - Tiburon, California

Great lunch stop on main street in Tiburon. Thankfully, we had no wait as we arrived early on a beautiful Sunday. Our meals arrived quickly. An Asian ahi tuna salad and a burger with side salad. The tuna itself was perfectly seared, but a mediocre piece which probably bad luck. The slices must have had to have pieces cut out, while others were just left that way. Dressing and greens were delish. The burger was very superb and well cooked. Side salad was fresh, light and refreshing. Overall, a great meal with excellent service. We'll be back. read more

We came here after a hike at Angel Island as this restaurant is really close to the ferry. It's a super cute place near the water and has some outdoor patio seating for nice days. We started with the crab cakes which were pretty good. I wish they were a little bigger though. I liked the mango salad that came with it. For my main meal, I got the crab melt which was really good. You can taste fresh pieces of crab meat which I really liked. I also had some a sesame grilled salmon burger which was pretty good, but the patty kept breaking into pieces and falling apart. I really liked the wasabi mayo paired with it though. Overall, it was a pretty solid meal and the seafood was good. read more

Salt & Pepper - Salmon omelette - American Near Me - Tiburon, California

Food wise - one of the best in Tiburon. Which I know isn't saying much because there's only a handful of restaurants here -- but due to the water views, there are a lot of restaurants here that don't have to try very hard. It's quiet and quaint serving up classic and new American comfort foods. This has been ideal for bringing the in laws especially my 92 year old gramps who enjoys actually being able to hear conversations at restaurants. Been here for dinner a handful of times but never tried lunch yet. Loved all the seafood options (clam chowder, crab cake, steamed mussels) and the pear salad is a must. Food is a bit on the heavy side but that was a win with my Welsh in-laws, especially the coq au vin and rack of lamb. For the vegetarians, the kabocha squash curry is awesome. read more

This was our third time going here and this place is adorable very home-like cozy warm feeling. Awesome ambiance. We've loved it. This time the food thoughtfully executed in some areas not so much in others. Pancakes were delicious. On point exactly what you want them to taste like. Hands down the best item from what we chose. However, their menu states they serve real maple syrup. They served us the fake "syrup". When I poured it out from the glass dispenser they had it in, I knew immediately it was not real. The viscosity of the two products are NOT the same. Then I tasted it and confirmed. The taste is NOT the same. When asked I asked the waitress for real maple syrup (for these beautiful and delicious pancakes) she told me what they gave us was real maple syrup. I didn't want to go back and forth so I just said ok . Please, either use real maple syrup or don't say you use it. Maybe have both options if it's too expensive to source the real syrup. The Clam Chowder was more of a Potato and Clam stock soup. It had good flavor but it fell short of the the "chowder" expectations. They explained it was because it was gluten free, but why not just use a potato (like a russet -not the red) just to thicken the stock a bit? I think it would help to figure the consistency issue out while keeping it GF. The hash browns need help since mine may have been either leftover or old"ish" from the freezer or frost bitten or something on some areas. They have a really good thing going absolute perfect location and some great and some good food but it seems to be slipping a bit bit plenty of time to check a few things and stay on course. read more

One of the first restaurants to open during COVID-19. Ugh I hate COVID-19. Who doesn't? Breakfast is served all day and they make the best strawberry mimosa! Yum! They have a great big expansive menu. I've had the steamed clams, wonderful to the Reuben sandwich, also wonderful. Come try this place out. Lots of outdoor seating and it sits across from the Tiburon harbor. Having Huevos for lunch and a zoom meeting here today. Lovely place and the staff is the best! read more

We had dinner here last night. We haven't been ordering salmon when out to eat because it's usually overcooked. My husband had the grilled salmon and I had the salmon with a curry sauce. Both dishes were excellent and if you like curry, the sauce was perfect. Our servers were friendly and made dinner recommendations. The special was the halibut and we'll have to come back to try it. read more

What a wonderful place! It shows they are concerned with serving healthy food well prepared. Locally sourced and organic choices when possible even had healthy organic ketchup for potatoes! The crab avocado cheese omelet was cooked right, it was beyond yummy and great prawn salad. Outdoor shaded and protected made for cozy environment and friendly well informed wait staff was great. The peach mimosas was perfect to top lunch. read more
