    The Rotunda is delightful. It's old-charm in a modern setting, nostalgic for its past but decidedly modern and hip. The light that comes through the windows is cheerful and the waitstaff nothing but classy. The booth-like seating is comfy and decor is pleasant. I had the rockfish sandwich for lunch and devoured every saucy bite of it. Reserve a table in advance -- dropping in will be a long wait. It's a great place to do lunch on union square!

    A nice hideaway from long day of shopping. Food is good. Sadly the famously delicious bisque was not.

    What a pleasant surprise to find Paseo, in Mill Valley. It is hidden on a paseo (hence, the name), off the street, but well worth finding this gem. Personally, finding a restaurant that serves a farm grown local Pork Chop with the bone in is a success, but to find one that serves a Chop perfectly cooked, hot on arrival, and absolutely delicious is wonderful. My wife and family ordered the Seared Ahi, and the Mac and Cheese--both were exceptional. And the service was first rate--very attentive. We even met the wonderful chef, Anjelica (sp?), who was warm and wonderful.

    I was surprised and pleased at the quality of my food. I had a New York strip and this being a hotel restaurant generally they are not the best you have ever had. My steak came prepared absolutely perfectly and flavorful my meal was very enjoyable and the service was very good.
