    We had a wonderful dinner with friends visiting from Seattle. We had a lovely table with a view of the bay and San Francisco. We had cocktails to sit and enjoy the view and talk. I had the macadamia nut crusted petrale which was delicious and my husband had fish and chips, which he said were good. Our friends enjoyed their meals and we ended the evening sharing a hot fudge sundae with coffee. It was a fun night and the service was excellent. Another great thing is the valet parking which made an everything so easy. I highly recommend The Spinnaker.

    Another wonderful meal at Poggio. Very busy on Christmas Eve yet everything was perfect and timely. Our server, Daniela, made the evening better. Pappardelle pasta was outstanding and the featured Langhe Nebbiolo wine was delicious with it. Best restaurant in Marin.
