![]() Still, the food’s the thing and it’s definely well worth the trip from the city much less anywhere in Marin county. If only the service was as polished as the food. Beautiful, imaginative, cutting edge food served like a diner. While he was being overly familiar, the rest of the servers were almost zombie-like. Our waitperson was too interested in telling us about his life and opinions than about telling us about the food put before us. We were well pleased with the many and varied dishes that were served, a well thought out and constructed sampling of the chef’s skills and particular style with heavy Japanese influences. Granted we ordered the very reasonably priced tasting menu, how could you not?, so we expected most of the dishes were already predominantly prepared in advance but we were so glad we did. One of us is on a no/low salt diet so we let the waitperson know but we still ended up with obviously salty food. He seems to have continue to home his imagination and skills that demonstrate the win was well earned. ![]() One such restaurant is Madcap, opened by a local chef, Ron Seigel, know for his groundbreaking win on Iron Chef before it came to these shores. I believe Chef Ron Siegel took a Michelin Star this year it was deserved.As Marin becomes more populated with renown chefs looking to move out of the city into the suburbs, they are beginning to open restaurants closer to their new homes bringing with them restaurant quality food you’d usually find in San Francisco. It is not inexpensive, but it is certainly worth the price. As the web page reflects, one can have a starter and main for considerably less if you are not celebrating with a menu degustation. The tab was a bit over $400 for two for everything. We thought the price/quality ratio was well within reason given the fact that we ordered the tasting menu with accompanying wines. ![]() Again, while not a Japanese restaurant the courses very much had a kaiseki touch. The chef "pulls this off" very nicely.Īs it was an anniversary we ordered the tasting menu with paired wines (which included one sake). It is not a Japanese restaurant, but the influence can be seen in the presentation and the taste of the food. But we did not know then that the food reflects a Japanese influence. When presented the menu and wine list we noticed that a flight of sake was on offer and thought that was a bit unusual. Decor probably not going to win an award, but very comfortable with the tables nicely spaced. Service was first-rate attentive but not overwhelming. We dined last evening and it was excellent. Madcap is a welcome addition to Marin County. Staff were friendly and attentive and earned the tip, but we won't be back. If you include the tip as standard, then just include it in your prices. La Marine Nationale a accompagn un sous marin russe dans le golfe de Gascogne Guerre En. I'd also prefer to decide what to tip instead of them including the 20% as a standard. The desert which should be precise was inconsistent and the chocolate base ranged in thickness from 1/4 inch to over an inch in the one small slice. The two of use had very different portions served. Portion size is also hugely inconsistent. Contempary American Restaurant with an Asian Influence Madcap offers upscale dining in an intimate yet casual setting with an urban feel. We couldn't taste any truffle on the truffle dish and the caviar flavor was lost in a soup of foam/sauce. You don't taste the main ingredient and some things (fig with steak) seem like an afterthought on the plate. Loads of foam and sauce, but the star ingredient never shines through. Would really have preferred them to slow down. The service is good, but we felt they were in a rush to get every dish served as fast as possible. This is really disappointing since we have such great wild salmon that is in. Waiter proudly announced that the Salmon is farmed new Zealand Salmon. Went to try it out based on a post on FB.
