    Outdoor beer garden by the bay, can be sunny but with some cool bay wind. Lots of seating, easily order beers, non alcoholic drinks from the table using a QR Code. Easy access to water jars. Lots of outdoor seating and some indoor seatings. There's a wooden play area. Overall nice place, ambience, busy but helpful staff. Clean bathroom. Parking is available but can be a bit tough.

    The Junction in Mill Valley is a community space with social activities and events. Parking can be tricky, but be patient. There are lots along the way (look for spots near in dirt lots at the Junction or next to the pottery store. There are events like bingo and music, a playground, fire pits, and best of all - pizza and beer. Service is quick and very efficient. Scan the QR code on the table or grab a drink at the bar/window. You'll have a great time!

    Cute spot for a lunch in an outdoor space! Very family (and dog) friendly. Saw lots of bikers here so must be a popular spot after a bike ride! We got a kale pizza to share and it was good! I liked the sausage and the chewiness of the crust. The outdoor space is awesome -- it feels super relaxed and the vibe is great. Service is pretty minimal (water is self serve and you order on via QR code on the table) but the pizza came out pretty fast.

    Great spot to hang with family and friends

    This was the perfect place for our entire family to get together. It was about a 20 minute drive from where we are in Berkley and very simple. Once you get off the Freeway you make your way over to their very large outdoor parking lot along the side and behind The Junction. The entrance come up quickly so be ready, especially at night. First we fed the kids Pizza then as they ran off to their play area in the Junction, we ordered many different types of pizza, We had this along with delicious craft beer. There is a huge outdoor open space with benches, nice lighting and heaters. The play structure for kids was terrific and they really enjoyed alll being together. There is a huge outdoor open space with benches, nice lighting and heaters. It was the perfect place for us all to be at while the kids were playing. Overall, this is a wonderful spot to have a family gathering. KUDOs to the team at The Junction.

    Shroomer pizza

    We stopped here for a bite showing a visiting family member around the area. We ordered a few different pizzas (the shroomer, the Ohio, and a classic cheese), when we arrived it was a bit of a madhouse but people were having a good time. We ordered our pizza with some drinks from the QR codes provided on the table, after a bit of a wait (which obviously going to be a wait they are making fresh pizzas and it was extremely busy) our drinks and then shortly after food arrived. The pizzas were delicious, the mushroom pizza being my ultimate favorite from here. The restaurant itself is really cool there is indoor and amazing outdoor seating (if the weather isn't too chilly) inside can get a bit crazy and loud but overall a it's a decent stop for some pizza and a beer.

    Several choices on tap and they have several options for pizza as well, only came here for the beer and the ambiance We chose a spot in the corner by the fire pit, sampled their 7% dry cider for next time I will have to pass. Sample few other drinks but the beer with mango and peach hit my sweet tooth I will definitely have to come back and grab a liter of this stuff Sat by the fire with some close friends and chatted for bout an hour or more then headed to our next spot, asked the staff to turn on the firepit and enjoyed the warmth as well as the conversations with old friends You can bring your kids here and there was seating brightly lit inside as well I will have to come back for that mango peach beer and sample more of their offerings and maybe a pizza to share with the kids Drinks **** Price $$ Service **** helpful Ambiance **** clean, roomy, open, bright inside, heater and firepit outside

    Huge beer garden with plenty of seating. Family friendly and dog friendly. Great selection of craft beers! They even have some special collabs on the menu. Parking can be tough on a busy weekend. Their lot is in back. Food was also very good! We ordered a half and half pizza and the kale salad. Would definitely return!

    So everyone's pizza looked excellent but mine was burnt. Not the best pizza. They have lots of outdoor seating but if you want to custom your pizza you have to go up and order it with a table number which really didn't work out because by the time you go to your table your seat is taken.

    BYOU, being your own umbrella! We came on a warm June day and there was almost 0 shade. The food was amazing, the beer list was great, and the breeze was refreshing, but the sun and temps were brutal! It was a super kid-friendly spot with a cute playground for the kids! My toddler loved the pizza, and we did too! The benches were a bit dated and wobbly. I almost fell twice which was concerning but I learned to avoid the wobble quickly! Overall a great spot but wish they would add a few sun sails. The sun was not pleasant.

    The pizza was great and customer service was good. QR code wasn't working. The bartender was moody because I wasn't beer savvy.

    Great beer selection. Plenty of outdoor seating in the huge back patio. Came for the breakfast tacos pre-hike. Beers for the post-hike.

    Came here after hiking in Muir Woods - been on a hunt for the best fish and chips in the Bay and…read moreheard that Hook Fish was one to check out. Got there around 3pm and was told that a table for two would be about a 30 minute wait, so it was not as bad as we thought it would be, considering that the whole parking lot (which was probably the only downside; it being made of gravel and without distinct parking designations making finding a spot incredible difficult and annoying) was full. The inside vibe was great, with tons of people drinking/eating and having a good time. When we got seated, we ended up ordering just a few oysters and a 3pc fish and chips. The oysters were pretty good and fresh, with a great vinaigrette on the side to pair with them. The fish and chips, however, were the obvious stars of the show. The fish were nice and golden, with a very crisp texture, and more importantly large and generous. The fries were nicely seasoned and plentiful. The fish was really tasty (you can choose the type of fish depending on what they have on hand, and some cost extra between $2-$10. We chose the standard option for the day: Rockfish), easily one of the better fish and chips I have had - just an incredibly simple, but well executed dish. While the tartar sauce was a good pairing, the real standout pairing was Hook Fish's own carrot habanero hot sauce with the tartar sauce and the oyster vinaigrette. I have never had something like a carrot based hot sauce, but it really works by contrasting the spiciness of the habanero with a slightly sweet carrot undertone. Strange, but it gave the classic fish and chips a unique twist that sets it apart from the competition. While eating we saw tons of different dishes fly out the kitchen as well, such as poke burritos, large portions of chips and salsa/guacamole, and fish tacos. After the experience we had that day, we will be forsure making another round back to Hook Fish to try some of their other options. Their fish and chips are a must.

Because of that, my experience may be influenced by expecting a bit higher quality, especially given the other food options in the area The Cantina in Mill Valley is a pretty standard Mexican spot with a Tex-Mex lean. I usually enjoy this style of food; I was a big fan of places like El Torito in SoCal, but this one didn't quite land for me. We ordered two burritos. The portions were generous, but the flavors were very mild. I love bold, spicy food, and these were lacking seasoning in my opinion. I ended up taking half home and adding avocado, lemon, and salsa from my own kitchen to give it the punch it was missing. We also tried the queso fundido, which was interesting. I hadn't had it prepared quite like that before, and it definitely leaned more Tex-Mex. It wasn't bad, just different from what I expected. Unfortunately, the service was a letdown as well. I had to find menus myself, and the only ones available at the bar were happy hour menus. Later, the server told us that happy hour isn't honored on holidays, which was disappointing. If that's the case, those menus shouldn't be out at all--it sets expectations that weren't met. Overall, if you're looking for a basic Tex-Mex spot and aren't big on spice, this might work for you. For me, between the bland food and the service issues, it's not a place I'd rush back to.
