Madcap
Modern Japanese
The walls at this San Anselmo tasting menu spot are hung with large, deeply strange paintings, the kind that make you wonder if you've wandered into a fever dream. You haven't. Ron Siegel's eight-course prix fixe runs French and Japanese currents through a modern American frame, and the kitchen is as composed as the art is unhinged. A Michelin star, and a fraction of the price you'd pay for comparable cooking in the city.

Tuna tartare
“Well-crafted bites on the prix fixe may include a quenelle of tuna tartare with ginger and sesame seeds tucked with a crisp rice cracker that is deliciously simple.”
Michelin Guide -
Charred octopus
“Next, a tender, almost-sweet coin of charred octopus rests over a pureed base of fermented pimentos and Tokyo turnip for a clean counterpoint.”
Michelin Guide -
Caramel pot de crème
“The caramel pot de crème with a double hit of almond crumble and ice cream is perfection.”
Michelin Guide -
Tortellini
“A pair of tortellini, stuffed with honeynut squash and served with cold smoked duck breast and mushroom purée, trumpets the arrival of fall.”
