Best Date Night Restaurants in San Rafael

Left Bank is our Go To restaurant. Located perfectly one town away from ours, great staff and bar, THE place to be before or after a Lark Theater performance and, most important, an excellent and satisfying menu. Keep on keeping on, L B!!

I have been dining at RH in Corte Madera since it opened. Always exceeds my expectations in terms of quality of food , wine, and service and hospitality. I loved the new salad options on the menu. I had the fresh vegetables and grilled shrimp today, and it is my new favorite entree. Be back soon, thanks for the view today, the comfort of the banquette, and the ability to have conversation without straining to hear.

From the time we entered the front door until we departed, we experienced best in class service. The host sat us promptly, the waiter was quick to let us know what was new on the menu, and the servers brought out beautifully plated dishes. All with wide smiles. As for the food…5 star. Little gem salad dressing was incredible, and the Pork Chop was killer. All the above is consistent every time we have been here.

The food is always the best of the best. The gnocchi I call pillows of heaven so light, fluffy, and delicious. There are usually standards and some seasonal specialties. Right now the chef Duhlio is making an ink squid fettuccine with prawns and a Calabrian chile sauce. It’s spicy but not too much with a delicious tangy sauce over perfectly cooked sauce, it’s quite incredible. There is nothing on the menu that isn’t cooked to perfection. Personally I think it’s one of the best Italian restaurants in the Bay Area.

Great margaritas, salads, fish tacos. Love sitting in their booths.
