We started with the lobster shot which was a warm milky liquid, tasting of lobster and was somewhat distasteful and strange. I was excited to try this new restaurant after reading favorable reviews, and so was surprised to find many of the dishes lacking in flavor, presentation and texture. 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. 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.
