The State Room - San Rafael

Great food. Fresh ingredients and good flavors. The pork belly grits deviled eggs appetizers were our choice this time. The salads are lovely and not over dressed

Very good but expensive for what you get. Cesar salad with salmon has not that much romaine for $12 in the first place, and the added salmon consists of a few small strips (which, however, are excellent). We loved the Earl Gray creme brulee. 2 salads, 1 dessert, 1 iced tea and 1 Pellegrino $70 with tax and tip. That's a lot.

Excellent pizza and great deals on draft beer. Sidewalk seating can be a bit noisy, there was a service lift with a loud beep going on during half of our lunch.

Went with my BF early on Saturday night so wasn't too noisy. Our waitress was really enthusiastic about the restaurant and the quality of the food and the flavors were good. Only reason I gave it a 3-star rating for the food is that my halibut was overdone and dry. Our waitress offered to replace it but it was edible and I was half way through anyway so I declined, but she was gracious enough to comp us a glass of wine and my BF's coffee as compensation. BF had a burger and enjoyed it very much. The place has real potential and we will definitely give it another try. San Rafael is pretty grim for fine dining with only a couple of good options...hope this turns out to be another good one on our next visit. Nice ambiance and we stayed around to shoot a game of pool and the other arcade game they have there. I won both games and that's a good thing!

My husband and I love this place, especially the 'Fire Cracker Beans '. I have never had a bad meal there. I 've had a small appetizer and a veggie sandwich/wrap, and a pizza on several different occasions. My hubbie LOVES the fried chicken. And the beer is excellent, but they also have a full bar. It can get noisy on the weekends but that 's a fun vibe. Thursday night it was busy but not too crowded and we had a great time.
