Neighbourhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Good for groups

The name “Sessions” comes from the British term “session beers”. During WWI in England, munitions workers had long breaks often taken at the pub where they enjoyed pints of ale with lunch and lively conversation.

Sessions has a unique partnership with Skywalker Ranch in Marin County. Chef receives deliveries from the Ranch of their fruits, vegetables, herbs & olive oil. The meats and seafood served at Sessions are always naturally raised and sustainably harvested. With these ingredients, Chef creates refined and approachable dishes which reflect a sense of the place.

Skywalker Ranch has given Sessions access to Skywalker Vineyards Estates with wines from both their Marin County Estate & Chateau Margüi in Provence, France. Take a peek to see the collection and learn more. www.skywalkervineyards.com

Cheers!

Small menu but well prepared. Nothing creative about the dishes. We go for convenience (easy parking and very accessible from both Marin and the peninsula).

Sessions is one of our go-to restaurants for high-quality, expertly prepared, delicious food. We love the setting either indoors or out. For beverages, there is lots of variety with Lucas's French, Italian or Californian wines and a full bar. The short ribs with the polenta cake, Jerusalem artichokes, cranberries and sweet potato puree was the stand-out dish for us this visit. It's a neighborhood gem!
