Best Dog Friendly Restaurants in Marin

We needed a place at the last minute to accommodate a six-top on Christmas Eve. Flores was the only reservation I could find. I did not have high expectations. Frankly I imagined a glorified Taco Bell. Au contraire! The food was excellent, full of flavor, unafraid of spice, from a wide-ranging and interesting menu. There are half a dozen dishes I'd like to go back and try. Service was devoted and thoughtful. Flores has some ambition. It elevates a cuisine that too often stalls out at burritos. Pleasant surprise all the way around.

We had a ball! Thank you for being open on Christmas Eve.

We had a wonderful waiter!!! He just made the whole experience so enjoyable. That feeling actually started st the front when we checked in. As always, Perry’s looked festive and beautiful. I took my 6 year old granddaughter and the crayons and coloring menu were a big hit.

Who knew vegan food could taste this good?! As a relative newcomer to the vegan world, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and tastiness of the food here. As appetizers, we had a red lentil soup and a breaded (but not fried) mushroom dish that reminded us of fried calamari. We had a mushroom main course and the Alfredo pasta, both of which were excellent, as were the Brussels sprouts (which used a tempeh sausage in lieu of the usual overly heavy bacon). The desserts too were better than expected, especially the chocolate pie. The service was friendly and attentive without being cloying. We had a reservation for the dining room, but they suggested we take patio seating instead. That proved to be a good recommendation. It was much quieter out there, and the heaters and available blankets offset a bit of chilliness. The dining room meanwhile, was pretty noisy. The meal was a bit pricey but definitely worth it for a special occasion. We will return.

The dinner was lovely and the servers were very attentive. Wine list is perfect, mostly Spanish and French options with some American picks incorporated. Dishes my party had were the 3 option charcuterie, french onion soup, and moules marinières. Would definitely go back to try their brunch menu as well! Thank you for a great night!
