Best Restaurants with a Fireplace in Dumbarton

We've come to appreciate West Coast as a close, reliable purveyor of truly fresh ingredient-focused, great dinners. We've even ordered (beef) filet there. (And it was great!) We usually vier toward the raw fish/seafood items and vegetable salads, but the last couple of fish tacos and/or s "simply prepared" salmon with vegetables have proven the kitchen's skills beyond promised "Aligot" potatoes that are little more than predictably "mashed." And there are occasional reliances on showy kitchen flourishes -- like a hearty scattering of fresh thyme leaves on roasted potatoes --for which a MUCH lighter hand would serve to taste if not, so much, to appearance. But our past few months' experiences with raw seafood, roasted or grilled entrees, deep-fried fish tacos, and -- most recently -- filet of beef have been outstanding in creativity and consistency. We do not want to take this ostensibly "seafood" outpost while they serve so many dependably excellent salads, sandwiches, steaks, etc. West Coast is an amazing neighborhood gathering place -- one that has MUCH better than "neighborhood gathering spot" food. Go for the food. All of it..

First place to ever charge me $2.50 for 3 stuffed olives in my drink especially when I just asked for 1.

Our favorite restaurant and Aimee was tremendous, as always. Quite noisy but otherwise a great evening.

Oliver was our server and he did an exceptional job of making sure that all of my wife's allergies were addressed and the food was properly prepared. It is surprising that a high end restaurant offers no gluten free bread, roll, or breadsticks to customers who are gluten-free. As with lesser restaurants, my wife had brought her oun gluten-free crackers to eat while I enjoyed the fresh warm bread. I felt badly for her. When we inquired about possible future gluten-free breads being offered,, we were told that there was no intention to go in this direction.

Well worth the experience. Civilized, knowledgeable servers
