Best Family Style Restaurants in Mill Valley

Abacá provided me and my partner a lovely and unique experience for our 5th year anniversary! We arrived earlier than our reservation, and we requested to sit towards the back, closer to the door pass leading to the kitchen, and a full view of the bar. A lot of items caught our eyes looking at the menu, but we decided to go for the Salo Salo "leave it to the chef" menu option, which you also participate, and have your choice of the dishes provided in a 3 course meal. Our notable favorites had to be the Yellowtail Amberjack Sarciado, Kaldereta Dumplings (added on), Black Angus Hangar Steak, and the Isaw (secret menu). The Magtagal cocktail that my partner got had a nice sweet flavor that they really enjoyed as well. Finishing off, we left very satisfied and well taken care of by our community.

This was first time my wife and I ate at Dalida, and we were not disappointed. The food is meant to be shared so going with a larger group will give you the chance to try more dishes. We started with fresh oysters, and then had the Fattoush salad (beets and persimmons) and the "Braking Bread". We then shared the Anatollan Erishte (Turkish noodles with mushrooms) and the Kayseri Manti (lamb dumplings). Every dish was excellent. The pace of the meal was wonderful and the atmosphere was delightful. They have a very extensive wine list and all price points both by the glass and full bottles. I was interested in some southern European wines I have never heard of and our server gave excellent descriptions. I was not disappointed with my choice. Our server was wonderful, knowledgeable, and gave us great service from when we were seated to when we paid at the end of the meal. I am already looking forward to a future visit.

Our waitress Lucy made the experience special. she not only got us for our selections but but our dinner joyful. the special salad was special and our steaks were the best steaks we've had in a long time. The meal may not be in our every day budget, but definitely good enough for one time special occasion.

Awesome in all aspects we weren’t rushed which I a plus

Overall, great service, nice selection on the menu. I could select any of the items on the menu. Will be back!
