We had a great first experience at Guesthouse today! The cocktails were extremely delicious, just as we expected after hearing their reputation for having great cocktails. Very well balanced—not too sweet or sour. Extremely fresh! We ordered the bib lettuce salad which was perfectly dressed. The dressing was wonderful. After that, we had the crab cakes which were also very fresh and not fishy at all. Then we had the radiatore pasta with smoked short rib ragu. Also a 10/10! We finished with the pudding cake, which was the only thing we didn’t like. It was just too heavy and chocolatey. But we will definitely be returning!
Last night my daughter and I went to dinner here. I have been a couple of times with my husband and really enjoyed it. Tonight I ordered a martini. It was not flavorful and almost tasted watery. We did have some very good Albariño wine on the special menu.. I ordered the taco special. It was flavorful and filling and a great price $22.00. My daughter had the halibut. I know portions can be small, but for $42.00 is was minuscule. Our wait person from Vallejo was absolutely lovely! Since it was my daughter’s birthday, I was disappointed. Just had to get this off my chest.
I haven’t been down College Avenue in Kentfield in about 30 years, so when my old pal Hark DèAngel call and asked me for dinner at the Guesthouse Marin Restaurant I had a flood of memories return…mostly good. It was Hark that sold me my first ocean pilot house, the Wicked Beaver a nasty but capable craft, and named after his ex-wife. I used it for salmon runs up the Sonoma coast, but sold it for a larger trawler that Hark christened the Nasty Beaver in keeping with the spirit of his ex-wife. So in memory of the Wicked Beaver…both of them, Hark and I ordered the salmon dinner, and it was amazing! 5 ☆☆☆☆☆ for sure!
My wife and I celebrated our wedding ceremony with a meal here and the entire experience was phenomenal. The entire Guesthouse team was lovely and kind, creating a memorable experience and atmosphere we will never forget. The food, the drinks, the service and the hospitality were top notch.

Slammed on a Friday night and still gave us a table of 4. Great service and food. Perfect neighborhood joint.
