Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in Novato

Classic SF spot. Great for families or a night out with friends.

We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at The Boardroom tonight. I had the peppercorn crusted filet mignon with Jack Daniel's glaze along with a baked potato and fresh vegetables. Yum! Yum! My partner had the rigatoni pasta with filet mignon, mushrooms, onions and garlic in a stroganoff sauce. We shared a Caesar salad and bread. It was all incredibly delicious. The service was impeccable, and the atmosphere is wonderful. It's not as quiet as I would like but that's my only slight criticism. I can't wait to go back there!!

Date night from out of town. Made reservations and walked in and were seated promptly. Service was spot on. Food was as advertised and portions were large. Enjoyed the evening. Would recommend to others.

Perry’s is our goto when we want good food in casual setting. For Valentines day we made a reservation but arrived some 10 minutes late yet were seated immediately. I ordered an Arnold Palmer and Cobb salad from a very affable waitress and food arrived within 15 minutes. Salad was very good with real bacon and chicken breast and lightly dressed. Ambiance was a bit loud with sports bar affect but they switched TV in seating area to pleasant red roses image instead of “the game” after 6pm. At the end of the meal, our waitress neatly packaged our leftovers. Service was warm, attentive, and fun.

Overall this is our first time here at Waterbar and let me tell you it did go above and beyond our expectations on food ! As a sous chef new to the area this was beyond amazing , the lobster risotto was flavorful full of umami and an overall beautiful delicate dish. Service was great , our guest talked with us the whole time , he did have to ask us to repeat ourselves several times due to the large loud party beside us , but kept the pace of the night very fluid and engaging. Would dine in and recommend any day of the week.
