Best Seasonal Restaurants in Mill Valley

Simply the broadest most approachable and creative menu in Bay Area Japanese dining. After 40 plus years, the restaurant only gets better. Skip the overpriced omikase in San Francisco and dwell on the many flavors at Sushi Ran. Also, Yoshi has assembled the area's best sake list and is highly knowledgable.

Our waiter was exceptional in his attention, timely service, friendly but professional welcoming manner, respectfull and excellent service. Highly recommend left bank!

My mom’s friends and family and I came for a belated mom’s birthday gathering. We ordered the hamachi, beet salad and the humus appetizer with the salmon, spaghetti and pizza dishes and never FAILED to be amazing! This was our 3rd time going and after we would go to Johnny’s Doughnuts and the ice cream next door for dessert! Lots of cute shopping places afterwards to browse and digest food! Farmshop is one of MY And my mom’s favorite restaurants in northern california! Would go again!!

Scoma's always exceeds our expectations. We enjoyed our lunch sitting outside on the deck with an exquisite water view. The steamed clams with garlic was delicious followed by a great Casaer salad. We loved the lobster risotto. Our service was excellent. What a fine meal.

My wife and I had an overall terrific experience at Paseo, dining at 7PM on a Wednesday night in February 2025 in the main dining room. The room was about half full, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. There was pleasant chatter and soft background music, but, refreshingly, it was easy to carry on a conversation Our server, Maya, was cheerful, knowledgeable about the menu, and very efficient. She helped us select their house made Parker rolls, the night’s special crab cake (to share as a starter), the duck breast, and the pork chop. All were delicious, and the portions were generous. Quite by accident we were there on a “Wine Wednesday” which features many bottles at $36 and others hugely discounted. We chose a Pays d’OC Comtesse Marion Pinot Noir which went very well with our entrees. We were too fully for dessert, but the choices looked attractive. Maya took very good care of us which added to our appreciation of the meal. Highly recommended!
