Rank 1. Tony's Seafood
Seafood
Tomales Bay spreads out beyond the windows of this sun-soaked oyster bar, where Hog Island's daily catch—briny shells, steamed mussels in spicy tomato, a silken clam chowder—arrives still tasting of local water. Grilled oysters wear barbecue char or garlic butter with equal grace. The setting does half the work; the seafood does the rest.

Rank 7. Stockhome
Scandinavian
A husband-and-wife team transplants Stockholm's flavors to Petaluma with quietly confident cooking: pickled herring, substantial meatballs, house-made sodas. The menu honors both Swedish tradition and local ingredients—dill shrimp salad brightened with avocado, giant pancakes crowned in farm berries—while making room for the Middle Eastern dishes that shaped the city they left behind.
-
Rank 8. Masa's
Sushi
Chef Takatoshi Toshi works the counter at this spare sushi shop in downtown Novato, breaking down whole fish while chatting with neighbors across the worn wood. Lunch brings affordable chirashi bowls and nigiri sets; the evening omakase reveals nigiri tastings, albacore rolls, and kinmedai smoked over cherry wood. A neighborhood place that feels like one, unhurried and unpretentious.
-
Rank 9. Madcap
Contemporary
Chef Ron Siegel's upscale dining room in San Anselmo trades pretension for precision across a prix fixe of small, carefully composed plates. A quenelle of tuna tartare yields to crisp rice; charred octopus sits over fermented pimentos; trout arrives skin-on with a tableside dashi pour. The cooking is restrained and Japanese-inflected, where each element earns its place.

Rank 10. Village Sake
Japanese
Village Sake brings Tokyo's cramped-table energy to Fairfax with takoyaki, okonomiyaki, and silky hamachi tataki that taste like they were made to be eaten standing up. The live-edge counter and Japanese staff set the scene; the shima aji nigiri seals the argument.
-
Rank 11. Ramen Gaijin
Noodles
A decade-old Japanese spot where house-made noodles anchor a menu that marries local sourcing with classical technique.

-
Rank 12. Khom Loi
Thai
The team behind Ramen Gaijin brings uncompromising Thai cooking to Sebastopol, with house-made curry pastes and a punchy nam jim that strip away American sweetness. Lofty ceilings and a tranquil pond frame dishes that are bold, spicy and genuinely complex.
-
Rank 13. Terrapin Creek
Californian
Ochre walls and a working fireplace create instant belonging at this Bodega Bay neighborhood spot, where co-chefs Liya Lin and Andrew Truong keep the menu deliberately brief. Grilled sardines arrive over shaved vegetables in lime-curry vinaigrette; house-made pasta curls cradle merguez and feta in spicy tomato broth. A place that makes you feel like you've been coming here for years.

Mediterranean

Wine Bar
A come-as-you-are wine bar on Sonoma Plaza where organic and biodynamic bottles share equal billing with a tiny, seasonal menu that moves without pretense.

Barbecue
Damon Stainbrook's suburban barbecue counter takes sourcing seriously—each humanely raised cut traced on a chalkboard—and executes with equal conviction: pulled pork that dissolves on the tongue, brisket after eighteen hours of smoke, ribs with a precise dry rub. Even the mac-and-cheese arrives tended rather than tossed aside, its richness balanced by bite. Worth the drive.
-
Rank 35. Picco
Italian
A hilltop dining room with exposed brick and soaring ceilings sets the stage for Bruce Hill's Italian cooking rooted in Marin's produce: duck tortelli studded with fresh turnips, risotto made to order, kale salad brightened with Meyer lemon yogurt.

-
Rank 36. Playa
Mexican
Playa transports Mill Valley diners to a Baja state of mind with margaritas and mezcal served beneath blown-glass lights and colorful tile. The al pastor tacos—layered with caramelized pineapple and charred meat—and crispy chorizo empanadas confirm the kitchen takes its Mexican cooking seriously.
