Sat. Ladies lunch - Northern Marin

[Sharon S]

I am looking for a nice lunch place for Saturday within a couple of exits north or south of the Regency theater in San Rafael. California/American - salads, simple mains, etc. Under $20 pp. Thanks!

Finnegans or Grazie! on Grant St in Novato OR Bombay Garden or Vin Antica on 4th St. in San Rafael.

You are in luck. One of Marin's best pizza places is right across the street from the theater on Smith Ranch Rd. - Mulberry Street Pizza.

Also, The Club at McGinnis Park -- conveniently at the end of Smith Ranch road -- is a California-style chic cafe sitting in the club house at the golf course (you can watch the players).

La Toscana, across the freeway from the Civic Center on Redwood Hwy., is a pleasant, semi upscale restaurant and a good place for socializing. http://eastbay.citysearch.com/profile/1042987/san_rafael_ca/la_toscana_ristorante.html

Chalet Basque is a charmer. It's in a converted house on North San Pedro. a mile east of the Civic Center. On a good day you can dine outside. Food is Frenchie-Basque-American.

So where did you end up eating?

Wildfox. I had the crabcakes which were not bad. It is a nice space.
