Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Tomales

Dining as a party of one I kind of expect superb service, meaning a waiter might give some social time to the guest. You can tell right away people that would rather have some privacy. But I am gregarious and outgoing and conversational you could miss the personality type even if you were trying. So I was disappointed in the I’ll take your order the drop of your courses. I mean really? I know a waiter would rather a large table that would incur a large bill but I ordered some of the best available. My scotch cost almost as much as my entree which was the most expensive one, AND in order four courses! Oh well, the food was delicious w the exception of some potatoes garnishing my entree were over cooked. But that meant very little with quality of all the other food being top notch! All in all a nice experience, my fourth visit to NOPA. That waiter needs to grow some social skills.

Enjoyed immensely from the food, the wine, the service and the atmosphere. A bit noisy, but that’s part of the fun

The service (Sam) was terrific, the food is some of the best and consistent on the Square, and the space is terrific. Always a pleasure to dine at The Kitchen.

Excellent service. Warm spinach salad was good but not as many rock shrimp as I would have thought and the dressing lacked flavor. I would try going again.

We truly love this restaurant—the menu is fantastic, and the quality of the ingredients is excellent. However, we’re giving it four stars because, despite our appreciation for the chef’s work and vision, we’ve consistently found that he is unwilling to make any modifications to the dishes. While we respect his dedication to the menu, as customers, we sometimes have small preferences that would enhance our dining experience, yet he is never receptive to any adjustments; Something as simple as swapping the sauce on a pizza or leaving out an ingredient—would never be requested to offend anyone, but simply because it’s what we would enjoy the most! It’s a bit disappointing, but overall, the food is very good!
