Outdoor Brunch north of San Francisco?

[Stewgs]

Hi,
I want to drive up to the Marin area for brunch on saturday, and want to eat somewhere beautiful and sunny and outdoors, but the food at all of the places I know (ugh, Sam's) leaves me cold. Any advice for a place that's both delicious AND good for a lazy saturday meal outside? Thanks!

How about Murray Circle?

The Parkside Cafe in Stinson gets good reviews here. My wife ate there recently and was impressed.

Anyone know about Cafe Reyes? Looks intriguing, and they have outdoor seating.

I would second Parkside Cafe. It's not a destination brunch restaurant, but it's very pleasant outdoors, with good food and high-quality ingredients. If the weather's nice, you can even take a nap on the beach afterwards

I don't think you are going to find many beautiful upscale places open for brunch on any Saturday...or even lunch. You might check some golf clubs (no pun intended).

The Station House Cafe in Point Reyes has a great outdoor area and the food on my visits has been good.

If stopping in Sausalito is an option, we love the food and atmosphere at Le Garage. One of our favorite ways to start a lazy weekend. We love their mussels with frites, frisee salad with poached eggs and soft boiled eggs with toast. Excellent coffee, great wines, reservations highly recommended unless you're okay waiting. The restaurant can be difficult to find if you've never been, so check out the parking tips on Yelp.
