Food Scene

Okay, hear me out. This is in a strip mall but I really do love this spot. Great bar food, live music, great for kids to run around at, amazing drinks. It's a really cool little spot and the fried pickles are just amazing.

This is probably the nicest, most fun spot in our little town. I recommend snagging a reservation and trying the apps and cocktails. The Portion sizes are huge!

A Local Favorite, this spot in downtown Novato offers great salads and sandwiches but the best part is the amazing atmosphere. Order your food and go enjoy some time in their relaxing patio in the sun. Normally I just get a salad but I love their tatter tots.

Is this your first time visiting San Francisco? A great place to start is fisherman's wharf. It's very touristy but cute and has some great shopping a food selections. You can also walk to iconic Lombard Street.
