Strawberry Lemonade
Bianca G.

I used to love going here as a kid. I was excited to come back again! However, I wish I would have read the other reviews. The food is not what it used to be. The pasta barely had any pasta, and the chicken and shrimp were a different flavor from the pasta that made it taste different from what I remember. The only relatively good food we had here was the fried mac and cheese and that was the appetizer. For the steak and frites you pay a lot and get very little. It's supposed to be a ribeye but the steak you get is minimum. They do give you a lot of fries. But I wish there was more steak to the dish. Service was pretty good even though they were packed. However depending on seating you will be listening to the yelling in the back. The place is nice inside I'll give them that and it's a chill vibe. However food is relatively expensive for what you get. I don't think I'll be back.

Give Sarah a raise! First time got seated in her section in the back and she was so attentive, friendly and gave REAL SERVICE! So pleasant, kept drinks refilled, brought out more bread and butter and even packed up our leftovers and gave us wet naps for our sticky hands! I was so impressed she was so great. Food was good, meatloaf was too salty but flavor was good. Just want to say thank you again to a really dedicated wait staff person who impressed us and made me want to go back tomorrow! The only disappointment was how my Oreo cheesecake looked like it had shrinkflation. Half of the container was empty

Chicken Bellagio
Sandy N.

On July 25, upon arriving we were told it was going to take 15-20 min to be seated. Ok. I gave the hostess my number to get a text when we could be seated. It was just the 2 of us. We step aside and stand by the cheesecake case. About 3 min later a group of 4-5 came in and were immediately seated. I thought oh they must have a reservation. Then a few minutes later 3 others were sat. I then went up to the hostess and asked why we were being skipped. I even told a man who looked like he could have been a manager or lead from what he was wearing. No one could give me an answer or even apologized. This was on a Friday afternoon and it wasn't busy. There wasn't a lunch or dinner rush. Anyhow. Our waiter was great. By the time we were seated we were both still upset by what had happened. Again no apology, no some sort of compensation. It was all just ignored. We almost left. But we stayed... Food was great. I had the Chicken Bellagio (delicious) and the person I was with had the Chicken Madeira. (Which was also delicious)

This was our bill with the removed item and still very disappointed of a cost for a bad experience

First time eating here in Corte Madera we are new to the area in San Rafael. We usually eat in Walnut Creek and the food. There is usually amazing so we thought we'd give it a try upon arrival we were told it would be 15- 20 minute wait and that was perfect timing. After sitting down, our waitress greeted us and stated that she was gonna take her order. We ordered our normal food and after we had placed the order, the waitress came back to state that the food that we ordered one of our food dishes that we ordered was no longer available, she brought us a new menu so we could choose something else, but it took her almost 20 minutes to return to take the secondary order of the item that was no longer available, then we also ordered some drinks. They brought us an incorrect drink instead of a margarita that we ordered we got a Mojito, which I'm not a fan of the mint and we also had ordered some soda beverages which we finished and needed refilled also and at the time that she went to return the drink that we ordered and bring the correct one we had to remind her that we were still needing a refill of the soda needless to say this server was a little unexperienced or maybe it was just very busy and it was hard to keep track of the items on the table that needed it. Once I receive my dish I was not a fan of what I ordered. It was pasta dish, which seemed like the noodles were over cooked and it's very greasy so I waited for the waitress to come by to see how maybe I liked the food that was delivered. We waited A long time now for my husband's food finally arrived and I had to flag down a Manager, which stated he would re place my order my food but here we are 40 minutes plus into dinner service with a bad experience the manager offered to refund my food and give me something else at that time. I wasn't even hungry anymore. This was a truly horrific experience in San Rafael, which I thought would be amazing for a date night of me and my husband. Now I feel like I've overspent 130$ on a meal that I didn't enjoy and felt like this was just not something I would do again, and I made sure I did tip my waitress, regardless of the fact. " Thank you customer service for replying your helpful advise yet in my review I clearly stated we had to flag down a manager who offered to replace my meal but even after explaining everything I wrote e above about my experience this was the outcome he remove the item from my bill and as charged me for the new item.

Vegan Pasta

If you are a Vegan or have a person in your party who is one, or you simply wanna take a break from meat of any kind, then you need to try their "Vegan Salad"....its soooo delicious and the portion is HUMONGOUS!! We also ordered shrimp scampi which was also cooked very well. Surprised by the low ratings for this place, it's always consistent and a go to when everyone in the family wants different meals. Only complaint I have is that their bread is not calorie free , but it's free to eat lol, we love the brown bread...YUM!!!

Patio great for new babies!
Trina H.

Parking at this location is super easy, and they have a gorgeous outdoor patio with shade/heat lamps. The interior is typical of other locations. The wait here is often long, and the restaurant seems understaffed. The big draw is always the food; you can't go wrong! My faves are the avocado eggrolls and the chicken and avocado club sandwich. Thank goodness the portions are gynormous to get your money's worth!

(Full Portion) Thai Lettuce Wraps with Chicken
Nicole P.

Great lunch outing with family, it wasn't too busy so we were seated right away. Mario was great, attentive, and friendly. The Thai lettuce wraps are my absolute favorite and I couldn't forget the salted caramel cheesecake!

Well here we go again!! Nestled in a nice outdoor mall area in Corte Madera right off the highway lies another Cheesecake. I have not been her for a few years but this time it was a bummer for me except the Cheesecake ( sugar free) which was awesome!! I ordered the enchiladas but much to my dismay they were cold, bland the black beans were runny and the white rice was just not the best. I think the food was sitting for awhile. I was not going to send it back. However, when I have to pay with tax tip and dessert and drink over 35.00 for something that was not worth it..its just annoying. Will I be back, well I will give it another go around if I am in the area. Seriously, it was not a good experience today :-( I believe in grace and giving a place another chance, but you may not be as patient as moi. I have been to other locations that have been great and ones..not so much!

Kids endorse the burgers here

Went in a festive party of six including three teenagers. The waiter was awesome -- warm, friendly, and got everything right without writing down a single thing! I have two complaints, and I'm saying this as a former waitress with 10 years of experience: 1) The runners need to be given the seating position for each order so they don't stand there and unceremoniously shout "who ordered the gumbo?" It's quite easy to do. HMU for instructions. 2) And the runners need to spot a badly executed entree and correct it before it goes out on the floor. My noodles were glued together and that was no bueno.

Ceasar Caesar Salad
Ruby B.

Went to The Cheesecake Factory at the Corte Madera Mall for a fun date night and had such a great experience! I was in the mood for something light but satisfying, so I ordered the Caesar salad with a side of fries and a coke, simple, tasty, and just the right amount of filling. We also shared the sliders. The service really stood out, our waitress was so kind and attentive the entire time. Overall great vibes and a lovely night out!

Goes great with Coffee. My Second was the Blueberry Lime Cake, the combination of the 2 flavors makes for a nice treat, The chunks of blueberry makes it stand out. Third was the French Toast Cake, combination of the flavors made it taste like cinnamon french toast. As for donuts, this is my goto place !

I opted for the vibrant red rose. It tasted exactly like a flavorless sponge drenched in l milk. Not even a hint of rose. Incredible, the white icing was equally flavorless, although it looked beautiful, with a sprinkling of dried rose petals. The overall effect was like eating a piece of cake that had fallen in a puddle of milk - with dried leaves in the icing. I had three bites and then told them guy behind the counter that it had no flavor and all he could offer was "I'm sorry". For $8 and no offer to make it right, it was a really bad experience and I would never go there again.
