    On a cold, rainy night, Left Bank, and it's cozy fireplace and interior, was the perfect place. Just bring back the Boeuf Bourguignon! Cassoulet is always awesome.

    We had the best dinner we’ve had in Mill Valley in years. There was a prix fix menu for Valentine’s Day and it was cohesive, perfectly executed and delicious. The dinner consisted of a salmon blini, followed by a mushroom bisque & little gem salad with Dungeness crab, avocado and pistachio. The main courses were halibut with sunchokes or a filet mignon with duchess potatoes and wine sauce. The desserts were profiteroles in a chocolate sauce or an almond cake with raspberry coulis. Sublime! Lastly, the service was excellent: our server was efficient, attentive and humorous. It was the perfect evening!
