    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!!

    Great service. Food and wine prices very reasonable. Escargot was outstanding. Parking lot a bit small.

    Overall, it was great experience, service, and food. But wished we would have known the specials as I overheard the waitress tell another party.. I definitely would have tried the Mac n cheese.

    An amazing place to have in Novato. This is more in the vein of constructive criticism or description than negative feedback! Food (we both had filet, with different sides, desserts, and a soup) was generously portioned and good. I thought things may have been a tad over-salted, but the cook was great. The french onion soup was delicious, and the chocolate lava cake was too -- even after all the food that preceded it! When busy (and it was), you're a little cheek to jowl with other patrons. But there was a pianist and singer that night, and the general buzz and smallish tables give you a sense of privacy despite the proximity of others.

    Great place, service good, parking easy, however the Ruben sandwich made me a bit sick.
