Yay! Dog friendly, lots of organic, vegan gluten free options, and great Prosecco! Nice selection of locally produced/sourced foods/beverages and fast service. Happy spot! Thank you. read more

What a gem of a restuarant for a nice selection of veggies (asparagus, brussel sprouts, roasted potatoes) which the staff was very willing to make vegan by omitting butter. The Grains and Beets is excellent. My hubby loved the roasted chicken and potatoes. read more

Wow, this place was incredible. Stopped here on our way back from the Point Reyes lighthouse and fell in love with this little cafe. It's extremely neat, the employees are friendly, and the natural light in here was awesome. I ordered the BBQ Chicken Sandwich special and it was to die for. My boyfriend had never seen me eat so much! Haha. He ordered the open face vege sandwich and he loved his as well. I'd consider driving all the way back just to eat here again. DEFINITELY recommend. read more

A very tiny roasted trout in a large plate. Cold dry oyster without shell. Potatoes were good.

Best cassoulet I've ever had. Really memorable meal, everybody's food was truly fabulous. Wait staff super nice as well. A gem of a place!

the best!! Service is great. Cristina and everyone else there is really sweet, great food!!

I was so disappointed in the Side Street Kitchen - a re-purposing of the Pine Knoll Café (if I remember the name correctly) that closed its doors two years ago. The Pine Knoll was a down-home breakfast-lunch joint; my favorite dish was a barcecued oyster omelet which we would eat outside in the sunshine. I was hoping that the Side Street Kitchen would continue the tradition but no - it's just one more Marin bistro. Not a gimme cap or a plaid shirt to be seen among the clientele. They don't open until 11 am and the only item breakfast-like item on the menu this morning was a "special" pork-belly benedict on sourdough. It was OK, no more, and very expensive. And the outdoor patio that we used to enjoy now has piped music which, when I asked, they offered to turn down "one notch." If they did, I couldn't tell the difference. So much for Point Reyes rusticity and peace. read more

Had such a fun day adventuring and this was one of my favorite highlights from my girlfriends day away from the East Bay. The pork belly blt was so yummy. Mouth watering just remembering it. The special pork belly eggs Benedict that my friends ordered was amazing too! Going back! Good job on the decor- loved the mural. Man mouth watering, creatively excited thinking about this place. I'll be back! read more

Very cute space and attentive service I try the trip tip beef sandwich outstanding good job guys

Stopped here for lunch on our vacation down the coast! Liked the choices of food on the menu. Some unique items. Also like the mural inside! Cute vintage vibes, I could tell the owners put a lot of hard work into it! read more

OMG! We loved this place!!! We ordered trout, oysters, ciabatta bread, butter, tri tip sandwich, and salmon spread along with beer and wine. I loved it here!! The tri tip was a bit dry but aside from that everything was perfect! The food and presentation was awesome. Our food came out quickly and our service staff was so friendly and helpful! I asked them for a paper bowl for my dog to drink water and they provided me one. Oh and they have a bathroom! read more

Had pork belly sandwich, lemonade, and apple fritters, all kicked ass. Also, nice servers and dog friendly

After a day of hiking/hanging at the beach this place hit the spot. The kids mac and cheese was more than she could eat, and it was good. We had the tri-tip sandwich, side of potatoes (little kick to them) and the dark chocolate pudding and fritters for desert. All were good. We'll be back. read more

A great place to relax for lunch or dinner in Point Reyes. The staff is exceptional and the food fresh and perfectly prepared. Bright open and cheerful too, with outside seating . read more

Having coming from a small town in Central Valley where everything was sourced from SYSCO, I am consistently impressed with the taste level in the Point Reyes area. Tell me, in what other small town can you find smoked local oysters with garlic aïoli and chives in a tender, organic lettuce cup? This is a charming casual dining spot with a nice menu of small bites, salads, sandwiches and their crown jewel: Mary's Organic chicken, twirling to golden perfection in the glass rotisserie case. For lunch, the small little gems salad, smoked oysters, and 1/2 chicken with roasted potatoes made for a perfect lunch to share for two. (I am partial to the vibrant salsa verde to dip for the chicken.) In fact, it was so good that we returned the very next day to try their pork belly sandwich, which is a luscious and luxurious version of a BLT. I must, however, save room for dessert next time! Apple fritters and butterscotch pudding? Yes please! read more

We didn't expect a ton, but we were very pleasantly surprised by the food, the quality materials, and the amazing sideboard sauces. Great mother's day experience, and very gracious about a small ordering mishap. Excellent experience! read more

This place has great food at a great price, counter service, and you can sit outside and watch the small town action!

Just nailed it on all accounts for our young family. We ordered their family chicken meal (available weeknights) - full rotisserie chicken, farm salad, roasted potatoes with their flight of sauces (chimichurri, curry, and roasted red pepper). The service was cheerful and friendly. They brought out our food very quickly. I ordered, took the little one to wash her hands and the food started arriving. The roasted potatoes were seasoned nicely and not overcooked. The chicken was fine by itself but the sauces made it very tasty. The salad was very fresh and dressed just the right amount - the lettuce was not sopping wet. I would like to try their other menu items which I imagine they supplement with specials. One negative drawback was the lack of a child changing table in the restroom. The restroom itself was sleek and updated. There is a cozy patio area for additional seating. The interior seating is limited but we beat the crowd on a Friday night. read more

Unpretentious, simple real food. Their service is super fast. You tend to feel like you're the only customer. Another gem. Love this place, and the people that work so hard to make their customers feel at home. read more

Creamed corn! Who knew creamed corn could be so delicious? We ordered it as an afterthought to the main dish, which was a perfectly prepared rotisserie chicken, but it ended up being the star of the meal. So tasty! The smoked trout appetizer was also a hit, and my sister liked her chicken salad very much, and I really liked the subtle lightness of the butterscotch pudding (though Mom and Sis wanted it to be sweeter/denser, I liked it the was it was). Top it all off with absolutely delightful friendly service and a warm welcome, and this will become a regular stop for us! read more

Yum! We had Mac n cheese, a steak sandwich, potatoes and the pork belly BLT. We also took pudding to go. So delicious! I enjoyed all the dishes. I thought service was friendly and casual. The town is very idyllic and enjoyed my brief visit. read more

Wow! Simply incredible food here. I had an event to cater for about 40 people--we had a last minute change of plans, when our chosen food provider couldn't fulfill the order. With only two days notice, I was able to, and thanks to the help of the excellent Sheryl who helped us coordinate the order, we were able to make it happen. We had a slightly tricky order with many vegetarians, and several dairy free people, and several gluten free people. There were options for everyone, and I can't tell you how impressed everyone was with the food. It was presented very conveniently in portion sided boxes, in bigger bags that stated what the order was--cod, tofu, or lentil. We also ordered a couple complimentary sides--though not enough. Every dish was unanimously delicious. People couldn't believe that we had found the perfect food catering for the occasion--but like, all we did was scramble last minute and happen to find this amazing place. I can't thank Side Street Kitchen enough for being delicious, professional, accommodating, and generally amazing. read more

Great place, small but cozy. Small menu but well thought of. We ordered the whole chicken, i think its a bit pricey since it doesn't came with any sides but only sauces. We added brocollini, potatoes and mac n cheese. All great flavors! The chicken can use another 5 mins in the oven. Have some blood around the bones. If they don't want it to overcook, they did it. It was juicy and nice herb flavor. We wanted to try the tri tip but they sold out... A must try place.. read more

Superb, small yummy menu. Imaginative without being "different for different" sake. Lovely wait staff and fair pricing in a well designed setting. I love the murial on the wall, it captures the flavors perfectly. read more

We went here for dinner tonight after a long bike ride. Food came out fast and was delicious. Highly recommend the tri-trip sandwich but surpisingly, I really loved the bread and butter. The place was clean and bright. The owner Cheryl saw we were bundled up so she offered to turn on a portable heater and move us closer to it. Right as we were done eating, she mentioned she made too much hot chocolate and if we'd like some. She brought out two cups of French hot chocolate with pure cane sugar cube smoked sea salt and regular sea salt, and cinnamon in little shakers to add. It was supreme and wamed us right up. read more

Great new little place on 4th street in Point Reyes. Just go straight for the apple fritters and butterscotch pudding and you won't be disappointed. read more

I don't think I've ever had a better sandwich than the pork belly BLT I had yesterday at Side Street, unless it was the tri-tip sandwich my kid was eating that I bartered a bite of. Both these sandwiches were served on soft freshly baked focaccia type bread, with a crunch of butter lettuce and decent tomatoes for April. Both sandwiches were so deliciously seasoned, and the meat in both was cooked so perfectly. How could it get any better? Well, there are some interesting local beers on the menu, or you can get a small carafe of chilled rose. You can sit on the patio and look up at the foggy hills while you eat or watch people go in and out of the Cowgirl Creamery across the street, and your well-behaved dog can join you on the patio. I'm looking forward to our next visit! read more

Just ate here with hubby on our weekend anniversary getaway and was extremely disappointed after being served our meal. You order, pay and then sit down which is super cool, but when we ordered I asked if we can change the side from one veggie to another on their menu. We were served our food and as it sat in front of us we were told that we could not substitute, but we could pay for a side of the veggies we were asking for. Which would have been totally fine if they would have told us that when we ordered. If that was the case I would have ordered a while different meal which I'm sure would have been amazing, giving them 5 stars! Too bad...just be sure what you order is what they deliver, but what they do deliver is tasty! Honestly just didn't like how we weren't given options prior to just having the plate dropped in front of us. I wanted to say something, but hubby didn't, so we accepted what we got, which he enjoyed!! read more

Hope these guys do well, and continue flourishing. Such a great new lil spot, and so glad to have a place to pop into after an afternoon at Point Reyes. The food is delicious, super generous portions and the ladies working here are oh-so-lovely. An all around amazing and very charming experience! read more

I don't get the great reviews of this place. It seemed pretentious and overpriced. Our chicken was over spiced dry and salty the potatoes were decent but nothing to write home about. They came across as stingy. If there were more options in town I don't think this place would be as popular or highly reviewed. read more
