The State Room - San Rafael (CA)

4 /5 Roopinder Tara: Best thing about the State Room: the service. Our waitperson was exceptionally friendly and accommodate. We felt instantly welcome and were well taken care of. We went in just looking for my favorite snack, fries and a beer (don’t judge) but my wife insisted on eating, too. She ordered a cinnamon roll and a mimosa off the brunch menus. The cinnamon roll is cooked and served in a small iron skillet. It looks much better than it tastes. The mimosa was so good, however, that we traded up to a carafe. My fries were plentiful and my beer (a Presidential Porter, ABV 5.5%, $8) perfect for the wintry cold.

5 /5 G B: Confirmed, the service is exceptional. We were greeted promptly, given the seat we wanted, our puppy got a treat and a bowl of water, we got full glasses of water and all thus before we even looked at the menu. The burger was great, the party was cooked perfectly and was uniform thickness. The kitchen needs to work on the fries (the cut is too small and they are over fried). The beers were very good, we tried their Belgian and Stout. The reviews were good and we chose to drive out of our way, and Im glad we did. Thank you and keep the great service up!

5 /5 Jerry Zimmerman: A great pub and brewery on 4th street with a large patio in front and a comfortable setting indoors with seating for small and large groups. The wood fired pizza was excellent and went well with their craft beer. Theres an abundance of character and good taste in this place.

4 /5 Eudy Greg “Worldfamous”: Got pizza, salads,a beef dish, appetizers, garlic noodles and all of it was pretty good and not over the top expensive. The hostess was awesome and patient. Be sure to try the spicy green beans

5 /5 Michael Witt: Excellent food, excellent service, every time. We’ve been here at least 10 times and have consistently enjoyed it. We’ve brought friends and relatives, and each one has loved the place. Menu is varied: noodle bowls, wood fired pizzas, crunchy chicken sandwich, calamari…and they take a “burger” to a whole new level (our family unanimously says it’s the best burger we’ve ever had). And if you like beer they have a great selection there as well. I recommend the altered state - but at 9% only one! We also love the vibe: you can come casual or polish up! High ceilings, wise lighting, strategic booth walls and level changes make the place seem larger than it is, yet cozy at the same time. My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Matt today. It was clear where the customer service culture comes from - he’s done a great job setting the tone. We’ll be back…again…and can’t recommend it enough.
