I saw an Instagram ad for half off the rodizio experience on Memorial Day and had to make a…read morereservation. Matt had been talking about Brazilian steakhouse every time he saw something that reminded him remotely of Fogo de Chao, so I figured this opportunity might be of interest to him. Come to find out that the day after I make the reservation he asks if I'd be willing to go a Brazilian steakhouse for the long weekend, so I got to surprise him with the fact that I already had a reservation. I'm not the biggest fan of Fogo de Chao based on my prior experiences there. I do believe that I have been to a Show de Carnes location before and had another great experience, but also Show de Carnes's Memorial Day promotion was slightly better than Fogo's and I much preferred that their location was outside of the city even if on the other side of the bridge. I did have to call the morning of to delay our reservation slightly, but it was taken care of for us without hassle. We even got seated closer to the original reservation time when we ended up running early. There isn't much space to wait in the front lobby area especially on a packed night, but everything looks very upscale from the wine bottles on the wall to the crystals above the self-serve side buffet. As far as mandatory meats, I have a couple of personal rules when it comes to Brazilian steakhouse, including go light on the sides and only go for the beef. Picanha is my favorite, extra rare too, so I made myself a whole pincanha meat salad while probably giving the guy cutting the meat a good scare. The grilled pineapple is also a must, followed by the cheese and honey. Matt got a lot more variety but it takes a while for the guys to come around with meat that has already been sliced up some so I can get to the parts that I like. We got a papaya cream and passion fruit mousse for dessert, which we probably really didn't need but enjoyed thoroughly as we are both dessert people. As it was a busy night, it was not too easy to flag a server down. I saw picanhas skip our table left and right so I'm not sure there's an established route for them to bring the meat around. The staff did seem to work together with great teamwork, and someone always stopped by to make sure we had more water and our choice of sides. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone that is a protein or all you can eat fan. The regular price per person is definitely steep in my humble opinion, but if you can catch a promo it'll be a great time. Also, don't choose between still or sparkling, ask for tap. I will not be getting got again next time.

Keivan, the owner, is incredibly welcoming and clearly passionate about making sure every guest has a great experience. The steak wraps were outstanding--packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and incredibly satisfying. Every bite was fresh and delicious. You can really taste the quality and care that goes into the food here. After trying the steak wraps, I already know I'll be back because now I want to try all the other dishes on the menu. If they're anything like what I had, this place is a winner across the board. Highly recommend Wrap N Kabob to anyone looking for amazing food and friendly service! I forgot to take a picture of the steak wraps but I'll repost when I go back to try all the other items.

I had a really frustrating experience at Wraps & Kebabs…read more I placed my order at the counter, but instead of putting it in right away, the employee helped two other customers and set my ticket aside. I ended up waiting about 10 minutes before I realized my order hadn't even been sent to the kitchen. After I moved seats, the employee noticed me and then finally handed my order to the cook. From there, I waited another 10+ minutes while the two customers who ordered after me got their food and left. When I asked about my order, I was told it would be another 5 minutes--at that point I had already been waiting close to 30 minutes for a simple meal. To make things worse, the staff started talking in Spanish assuming I wouldn't understand, saying I should've been told it would take 20 minutes. One of them even claimed he told me that--which was completely untrue. Long wait times happen, but poor communication and ignoring a customer's order is unacceptable. If it was going to take 20+ minutes, just say that upfront. Don't skip my order and then pretend I was informed. Definitely not a good experience, and I wouldn't come back.

For me, rice is kind of the baseline for a good Persian spot--if that's not right, it's hard to overlook. The rice tasted old, clumpy, and just not fresh, which was a big letdown. The koobideh didn't help much either... it fell pretty flat and didn't have the flavor or texture I was expecting. The service and ambience did not make up for the food quality, either. Honestly, it's a bummer because this is basically the only Persian option in Marin, and I really wanted it to be good. Was hoping to become a regular, but not sure I'll be coming back after this visit.

There's something for everyone here. I was impressed to see a gluten-free vegetarian samosa in the apps! I have a few gluten-free friends so this would be great for them to come a try! On top of that, Avatar's takes pride in being open to accommodate to customers' dietary requqests as best they can, so the menu isn't extremely fixed. Their food and service are top notch! For my first visit, we were greeted warmly and were able to get a table right away since we went at an off peak dining hour. I'm easy, I just went with Dahl and Basmati. It's my favorite thing even tho it's super basic. The dahl was packed full of flavor, eating it was such a delight. I hope someday they'll create a vegan-friendly dessert or even a vegan Mango Lassi. I can't wait for my next visit when I'm in the area.

*Vegetarian Foodie Review*…read more We went with a group of friends for the first time, the day before Father's day, for a father's day celebration. This place has a nice typical burger-joint kind of vibe. We were worried about getting a seat since we were a group of 10, but we got seated within 5 mins of arriving, no reservations needed. Ordered: 1) Napa Truffle Fries: 5/5 2) Seasoned Fried: 4/5 3) Silverado Veggie Burger: 5/5 - Housemade patty. Omg, this was delicious! Being a vegetarian, I always love patties that are made in-house rather than the kinds like impossible patties, which I truly can't stand. 4) Grilled Cheese Sandwich (from the kid's menu) - for my 5 year old. It came with fries and she finished it all. She mentioned it was really yum. 5) Some fruit mix drink (non-alcoholic): 5/5 - can't remember the name, but it was amazing. Service was fairly quick, considering it was a busy Father's day weekend. Next time I am in Sausalito, I am definitely coming back!

Our order was ready in under 15 minutes and at the front desk when we arrived. The hostess was friendly and greeted us immediately upon entering. Our order - a James Beard Competition Burger ($24), Silverado Veggie Burger ($20), and Seasoned Fries ($10). My husband said the menu read better than the burger tasted. He was unable to locate the flavors or profile highlighted in the description of the James Beard burger. Maybe if he ate there, his experience may have been different. With an option to go, the burger's flavor should be able to travel comparable to in house. The Silverado Veggie burger was flavorful with a spicy profile, most likely from the chipotle aioli. Typically, veggie burgers are dry, this one was juicy and satisfying. I was extremely satisfied with my selection. The Seasoned fries at $10 were plentiful in portion but limp and lacking in flavor. We were both disappointed and did not revisit the portion after our first try. The fries could have been cooked longer and tossed with a heavier hand in the seasoning used. If we returned, we agreed to eat there with my husband choosing different for his burger choice. Not certain if we would chance the fries again.
