Creekside Pizza & Taproom

Marin County’s award-winning artisan pizzas, chef-built salads, sandwiches and specials. Open 7-days a week. The best craft beer selection on tap, with 40 draft handles pouring over 30 craft beers from more than 25 craft breweries, plus regional wines, ha

They have a large beer selection, although the one special had just run out when we were there. Almost everyone in the restaurant ordered pizza from what I could tell. The pizzas are about 12" and good for two people to share although you may want another dish or salad if you are really hungry. We asked the bartender for a recommendation since we couldn't decide between two options and he said the Geronimo pizza. It did not disappoint and the burrata on top made it so delicious. I have already recommended this place to some friends and can't wait to go back!

Nice to have more options for grass-fed burgers and some organic options to fit in with the Fairfax Vibe. Love the look with the big red B&G truck out front. Also have one in Larkspur about 20 minutes away. We've enjoyed burgers there - it reminds me of an old drive in. The burgers are huge.

What a gem.The name of the place should be GREAT AWESOME Taste Kitchen & Table!Since this place opened, I've come in whenever I'm in these parts. The baked goods are beyond delicious. Great sandwiches. Overall, a totally great menu. Checking out the other tables, there was a smile on everyone's face.Try the bullet proof coffee. This was new to me but now, I'm trying to home brew it. I'll still be coming back to enjoy the one here.

Okay....salads are great too...and the beet hummus really delicious as well. Breads are amazing as are the muffins and scones. Hard to choose! You really can’t go wrong. Love sitting outside where it is quieter than inside. Very friendly staff and excellent cooks and bakers!

Reviewed By Deborah V

We went to this quaint little restaurant for Valentine's Day. We had a late reservation, so the restaurant wasn't terribly busy but the service was terrible. Our waitress never once cracked a smile. She took away the soup while the soup spoon was still in my hand. Someone came over and wanted to clear our plates while we still had food on them and it was obvious we weren't done. These people need to get a clue as far as service goes. The Hostess on the other hand was lovely, warm and friendly. The food was quite good--we shared a little gem salad with heart shaped beets, which were pretty but scarce. The butternut squash soup was fantastic as well as the fish dish that we shared. Can't say that we will be going back anytime soon though.

Reviewed By Sunzhine

They have improved the seating and changed the menu. Still have trouble finding wines that I like here but they have decent ones and great beer options if you like that. They serve great local tasty food. They are on the pricey side but appreciate the fine ingredients. It can get loud in here but lately with new seating, noise level seems to be improved.

Comforts Restaurant & Deli

Reviewed By Chelsea42

Everyone raves about the Chinese Chicken Salad for good reason, it is the best. I recently stopped by for one of their take-out cartons stocked in the fridge and they only had the large size available (and it is large!) However, they were happy to make up a small size for me (still an ample portion) which I happily ate for dinner. The next day I was back to try the Greek salad and some roasted vegetables. All delicious. A San Anselmo treasure for sure.

The place where we had planned to eat was closed, so this was our other option. We had light lunches, alongside beers, and were very happy with the meals, the service, and the beers, (especially the pomegranate one! ) .Thank you so much for your nice review. We are glad you stumbled upon us on 4th street and had an opportunity to enjoy what we have to offer. Cheers from the Iron Springs Public House team!

Barefoot Cafe

Reviewed By Dulcinea2009

We’re Fairfax locals and have enjoyed coming to Barefoot for years. I am very picky with fish and Barefoot always serves the best variety. The owner goes to market twice weekly and creates a daily special that is my typical go to. They have homemade soups and fresh salads and serve a nice array of wines and now serve cocktails! Service has can be hit or miss but the manager is always on site and very responsive to issues.

Hummingbird Cafe

New orleans inspired menu

Reviewed By mackanna

This place is remarkable. It’s quiet and personal service like the old days. Food is terrific and the proprietor Michelle is real hands-on. The gorgeous photographs are all taken by her and that’s her first love but she doesn’t spare any energy in love with the restaurant itself. I had the alligator omelette which was tasty and I will go back there in a heartbeat.
