I just spent an extended trip here visiting my parents who are in poor health. The bar has essentially two bartenders one who works Weds-Sunday and one who works Monday and Tuesday. I find the one who works Weds-Sunday quite odd and based on previous trips I avoided the bar those days. I encountered several other guests who voiced the same opinion, particularly saying that she didn't know how to make basic drinks like an Old Fashioned. On the other hand the relief bartender(Hamooz?) is wonderful. She's very friendly and on a particularly quiet night in the bar, after a depressing visit with my parents, she was a breath of fresh air. So I'd say if you're there W-S and want a Bar go to BJs in the mall down the street. But Monday and Tuesday say hi to Homooz!
Two words: chicken chowder, you need to try that. Sooo good. Husband and I also shared a bottle of the La Playa Merlot and it was pretty good. We had the crab cakes as well, but the chicken chowder with blue cheese was lip smacking good!!! The place was pretty empty when we were there, maybe two or three other tables. We had our two kids with us a 3 year old (he had mac and cheese) and our little 6 month old; the staff there was so nice to them. I didn't think we would be able to sit through dinner without getting dirty looks- but luckily for us everyone was really nice, so we were able to enjoy our bottle of wine and apps.
Okay, the 4 stars is solely based on the food. If I based the review on the service it would be more like 2 1/2 stars. I'm taking into consideration that we were there while they had some sort of convention and we got there during break time but should I have to do that? I don't think so. I ordered the fish and chips and OMG the fries were perfect! Crunchy and soft at the same time..the fish was battered and fried to perfection. I just kept eating and eating even though I was full. I didn't want the food to go to waste!
When I'm traveling for work, I like to stay at Four Point Sheraton in San Rafael because I love Marin Steak and Spirits. Their steak and chops are very good. Much better than some of the chain restaurants like Outback, etc. I love their lamp chops and prime rib Fridays. They also have a very good salad bar for just a few bucks extra. An entrée, salad bar, and a glass of wine comes to about 40 bucks. Since it's in a hotel, I feel very comfortable dining alone and lingering over my food. Happy hour is usually pretty lively (bar is connected to the restaurant) but it slows down for dinner. At times, I've been the only person in the restaurant. Surprisingly, this hasn't impacted the quality of the food or the freshness of the salad bar.
