Best Live Music Restaurants in Mill Valley

We really enjoyed our dinner last night at Osteria Divino. It really seemed like a neighborhood favorite, not a place that is there to cater to tourists. Knowing that we would want to talk, I asked for a table away from the jazz trio that was performing, and the back room fit the bill. Our server was really efficient, but there was a slight backup in the kitchen. However, the food was great. I really enjoyed my saltimbocca and the desserts. Our favorites were the affogato and the ice cream with brandied fruit. My friend said that the lasagna, while delicious, looked a little sad - it was just a square on a plate. That was remedied when the server brought him a side of the wonderful mixed veggies. I would definitely recommend Osteria Divino!

An excellent relaxing place for brunch or lunch; Food was very good, just serving sizes were big

There were four of us dining at 5pm on Valentine's day for the prix-fixe 3 course menu. It was beyond our expectations.....lobster risotto, duck a l'orange, beef tenderloin and petrale sole. Every dish was served hot, the flavors and presentations superb. Our server Samantha was attentive and charming. We did sit back a bit due to the fact that there was live music and and we wanted to be able to converse among ourselves.

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant. Prices may seem a little steep, but portions are very large and everything looks like it came fresh from the farmers market that day!

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!
