We held our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner here for the wedding party (18 people). We scheduled it for the late afternoon before the restaurant opened and worked with the owner, Munther, over the course of several months. He put together a great menu for the group with very little tweaking on our part. The welcome cocktail in the wedding colors was a big hit and everyone thought the food was amazing! For an event this special, we couldn’t have been happier with how it turned out. Would love to return under different circumstances to just enjoy the speakeasy and restaurant. We cannot recommend this place enough for a special occasion.

Delicious food, tasty cocktails and mocktails and wonderful service. My husband and I were pleasantly surprised!
Do not be fooled by the unassuming location of the restaurant. Once you walk in, you’ll forgot you’re within a mini mall / behind a gasoline station. Everything was excellent.

We recently celebrated our anniversary here and had a great dinner. The waiter went above and beyond, and the food and drinks were excellent. The only change we would have liked would be to have some music playing, because it felt like the atmosphere was lacking a bit. But, if you go on a Friday or Saturday they have live piano music. Next time we’ll do that!

After Marin Joes closed we have been searching for the steak and pasta solid food experience. The Boardroom is like Izzy steakhouse meets house of prime rib. Steaks perfectly cooked and great sauce. Sides all excellent loved the French onion soup and you can always judge a restaurant by their bread simply amazing and served warm. Must be only real steakhouse in Marin and great menu.

You’d never believe a place this nice was located in a small strip mall! Small, intimate setting so the servers can see all the tables and attend to you quickly. Live piano player was excellent and took requests. Food was fantastic, didn’t need an ounce of salt or pepper added! Apart from the high end steaks the prices were reasonable. I’m definitely going to back.

I ordered from the evenings specials; not a good idea. The appetizer of raw swordfish was spoiled by being overly spiced. The main course veal was dry, difficult to chew, and of indeterminate flavor. Accompanying mashed potatoes arrived cold and with oddly flavored spinach. There seemed to be just one waitress present: she spent a lot of time chatting with diners resulting in slow service. Overall, a frustrating and disappointing experience.

One of my favorite places in Novato. Its small, quiet and dark and it has a piano!
The selections and service are top notch! I’ve been coming here since it opened and surprised that you can get such a high quality dining experience in the shopping plaza location that it’s in.
This is a testament to its owner/founder, Munther. You can tell he sweats the details and it all pays off. The ambiance is what you’d expect of a boutique steakhouse. It features icons of yesteryear and backs it up with top notch service that you don’t find anymore. The soft piano in the background is a really nice touch and makes you forget that you are in a chaotic shopping plaza.
The quality of meal is really top notch. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I’ve had their pork chop (amazing), Tomahawk (amazing as well but bring a date) and of course the ribeye are, you guessed it, AMAZING!
I love their sides too. The creamed spinach is a wonderful treat, truffle fries, whipped potatoes and the roasted Yukon potatoes are killer. Dont forget the side of green beans!
Anyhoo, if your in the South Novato area and want an unexpected fine dining experience, dont hesitate to look up the Board Room!

I came here because it looked like a good place. I wondered why I never tried it. Upon entering the place gives off a nice atmosphere. However it very dark in there, very bad lighting. The crab shrimp Louie is now just a shrimp Louie. For $21 I was very disappointed that it was very plain and bland with only 5 shrimp. There was not even enough to eat the salad with. The Louie sauce tasted like ketchup and mayo. The appetizer I ordered came out after I finished my salad. It was delicious but I was surprised I had to put it together myself. The waitress didn’t even check on me once not even to refill my water glass.

Very cool place attached to a speakeasy. Hiden away in an unassuming plaza. The interior is very fitting. The staff was top notch and the food was excellect. I had the lamb shank the first time i went and filet mignon the second. I would recommend both dishes

FIVE PERCENT SURCHARGE. They said this is to help pay for the kitchen staff. Hello? That’s what menu prices are for? I don’t care if you raise a whole dollar and that’s more than 5% but getting billed more than listed priced plus tax and tip is just not cool. Can’t believe there are still restaurants that take advantage of diners’good will to support the industry during pandemic times.
This is my 2nd time here and both times I order a lot of food and drinks. I’m never coming back.
