“Lovely meal last night! Dishes were creative, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Wine list and guidance were terrific complements. Ambience was relaxing. Service was wonderfully personable and prompt. The only (good) problem - the diverse menu presented too many alluring choices for one dinner, so we will be back for sure. Thank you for a terrific dinner!”

901 B St, San Rafael“We had a delicious happy hour visit. Our first time visit. Food was delicious and owners helpful and friendly. My sister and I will definitely return! Fabulous onion rings as starter!”
“Cute little market. It has everything you need and want and the candy section is phenomenal!! Haha. I hadn't had candy during my stay in Pt. Reyes (two weeks) until I decided to stop here. The owner was very kind and even chatted with me about his mutual love for candy. HeheThere's a market in Pt. Reyes station, but that can be far if you're already going up to the Northernmost part of the peninsula (or coming back). It's also very busy there.”

221 2nd St, Sausalito“One of the best coffee destinations in Southern Marin. I just wish the café were open longer hours. The sandwiches from the deli are also excellent. I especially like the Italian. The owner is often around and is incredibly friendly and helpful. It just has a really nice warm vibe and is a wonderful place to sit on a Sunday morning rain or shine.”
“This is the cutest grocery store that combines local and gourmet goods. We popped in here after a hike and were on the hunt for lunch. We got one sandwich and some chili. Everything was pretty good, but not amazing (3-4 stars for the food), but we ended up doing some grocery shopping as well and that was 5 star quality. They have a great butcher and fresh veg. To note they have a fair amount of outdoor seating, however, it was raining so we had a car picnic!”
“This liquor store is a market with lots of variety. It has a good selection of non-alcoholic beverages like juice. It's a fun place to explore and see what they have just in case you don't want to go to the grocery.”

913 Sir Francis Drake Blvd, Kentfield“Best kept secret in Kentfield / Larkspur! Zee’s sandwiches are incredible, delicious, outstanding, out of this world! Also with their prices?! The best!! I love a personalized sandwich, but their French dip is soooo good. Their breakfast sandwiches are also really yummy. Service is friendly and wholesome, great selection of candy and chips, also A+ beer selection. Love this spot. I’ll never get sandwiches from Woodlands or Mollie Stones ever again!!!”
“LOVE this lovely little store. It is a gem in the neighborhood. Great selection not only if wine, beer and liquor but also grocery staples and juices, etc. Every employee is a wonderful human, too :-)”
“What a wonderful little bodega! They have so many products to cook authentic Spanish meals - complete with cooking and serving wear you'd find in most bars and restaurants across Spain. I didn't have time to browse the wine selection but they seemed to have a great variety. It's also a great store for to put together a white elephant gift basket...I'll be back soon!”

2401 Larkspur Landing Cir, Larkspur“We had to wait to be seated despite there were empty seats. That puzzled us as it seemed to be something to keep the restaurant less busy for the waiters.The food and the atmosphere were really good, so we ended up having a very good time.”
7AM - 11PM
36 Medway Rd, San Rafael“Amazing alcohol selection and incredibly fast, friendly, and polite staff. Their beer and canned cocktail selection is the best I've found in the area. Good amount of parking. The place can get very busy around when people get off work. But even at its peak rush I've never had to wait long. Always clean, organized, and well maintained.”
10AM - 8PM
2040 Redwood Hwy, Greenbrae“A very nice store with well-made furniture at good prices, plus a fun-to-browse assortment of food and sundries. Staff just could not have been any nicer--thanks for making sure the chair fit in my car, and got home safely in the rain!”
“Excellent selections of, as advertised, wine and spirits! Norm knows his stuff and is always a pleasure to talk to. Our go-to shop for our favorites and yet to be discovereds...”
“It's been here forever...it's a nice place w all the liquor u can buy n a fast n friendly staff...courteous but firm in their policies....it's not much of a great look outside but it's safe n clean....go check it out....it's ok n the owner is a nice man....no Marin attitude or snotty looks...the store is been there forever n deserves to be patronized for if anything...it's longevity n dealings w customers....I like it n I'm hard to please sometimes but it really is a nice place....if a few malcontents are slithering outside don't worry....they keep an eye out..”
“To completely honest, Souvenir was the highlight of our visit to San Anselmo. This wine and vinyl shop is both aesthetically pleasing with the substance to match. Love the book selection in the back. The owner was super kind and helped us select a bottle to gift. Highly, highly recommend swinging by if you're in the area.”
“While not quite the nirvana as the name suggests, Paradise Wine & Spirits can be a wonderful oasis for your boozy needs. You'll find them in East Corte Madera in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it location (a hop/skip/and jump away from Nugget Market). This liquor store's been a Marin County staple for years. I remember trying to buy beer here with my fake ID in high school over 20 years ago (spoiler alert: it didn't work). This place ain't fancy by any means. You'll pretty much find beer, spirits, candy, snacks, and some random canned food & cleaning products. It's not exactly what I think about when I hear the word "Paradise," but this place always has what you need when you're in a jam, so in a way, I could argue that's quite heavenly. Long review short, this is a solid liquor/convenient store option when you're in Marin. They have plenty of free parking in the front. And I gotta give them props for adhering to all the proper Covid-19 safety guidelines (masks, gloves, and a glass partition between the customer and cashier).”
“Great prices,! Very large store and number of choices can be overwhelming. Actually found two associates on the floor who helped me find what I was looking for. Selection of bar tools was limited. Didn't have simple old fashion cocktail shaker.”
8AM - 12:30AM
1910 Sir Francis Drake Blvd #1221, Fairfax“I come here all the time, it's quick and painless. Nick, the owner, and his wife are really kind and funny, too. They have a very large selection of wines (liquor, beer and cider, too), including a large variety of refrigerated white and sparkling wines which I love! They also carry all the Fairfax treats, kombucha, matté, and clif bars, (etc.). Get to know your local business owners! These ones are great! Also, if you don't see what you're looking for, ask nick and he will probably offer to try carrying it in the shop.”

719 4th St, San Rafael“It's really great that there is long-standing high quality boutique for the best selection of hard to find items in San Francisco is now operating in San Raphael. . Can be hard to park in San Francisco. In my case is coming by San Raphael when I'm driving north is pretty much weekly occurrence. Dita the charming co owner is always helpful.”
“Excellent source for Tequila, with a good selection across price ranges. Great beers from micro-breweries with an emphasis on local and some treasures from across the country. The wines are great, not the biggest selection and a full range of price points with an emphasis on the middle ground. The cigar section looks tight, I don’t buy them, but if I did, it looks on par with the alcohol. Litttle known secret, they stock Chili Crunch here.”
“They're pretty friendly here. I only go in when my one lotto playing family member takes in tickets whenever I'm in town. They're patient enough to enter them all into the machine for him as long as it's not too busy. I think that's so nice of them since it's always a lot at one time. I don't do lotto but they're nice enough about it here if you do.”

58 Throckmorton Ave, Mill Valley“We wanted to special order a small keg for a birthday party this past weekend. The owner went above and beyond with his communication to me throughout the week, updating me on the status of the special order. He made the process incredibly easy and will forever order directly from him again and not the big box retailers. I highly recommend supporting this local store.”
“This wine shop has a wide variety of cheap and affordable booze to choose from. They also sell craft beers, pastries, and macaroons. They have the most friendly and accommodating staff than any other wine shop in the city. And their prices are very affordable, too. I will be back here next week for my father's birthday. He will love their wine here. Thanks!”

9AM - 9PM
2020 Redwood Hwy, Greenbrae“Pretty happy with their imported beer selection since some of it is hard to find. They have westmalle dubbel & trippel, rochefort 6 8 10, saisons and lambic, and a decent amount of German hef, helles & dubbelbock. Did not see Orval though, possibly sold out.”
“I just called to find a wine that turns out they don't have in stock. I called to save myself an unnecessary journey. A person named Ricky was so patient and thoroughly checked. He was alone and couldn't ask anyone else. He'd only been working there 2 days which is why he wasn't sure and checked so thoroughly. They are lucky to have him. Such a kind and helpful person!!”
“They have a nice selection of snacks and brews! Every Liquor you could ask for. They have friendly people who work there. Service is excellent every time I go there. I'd go there 10x/10”
“Those ribs on Wednesday evening are outstanding. I brought some home and actually had them again for breakfast. Marche is a lovely restaurant with great staff and really excellent food...really love those ribs!!”
