♦ Rancho Nicasio Restaurant & Bar ♦
Rancho Nicasio Restaurant & Bar is absolutely one of our favorite places to dine and drink in Nicasio. Their menu is really varied and changes from breakfast to brunch to lunch to dinner... our favorite thing on the dinner starters is the walnut crusted goat cheese, and the drakes bay oysters prepared three ways are great too! You will certainly want to try the Rio Vista California Garlic & Rosemary Lamb Medallions while you're here, and the Niman Ranch Boneless Centercut Pork Chop is also fantastic. And those are only the beginning! You can find Rancho Nicasio Restaurant & Bar at 1 Old Rancheria Road! Very highly recommended!
♦ Two Bird Cafe ♦
Two Bird Cafe is located conveniently in nearby Geronimo, and it happens to be one of the very best seafood restaurants around! Everything here is just so delicious, and the setting in such a lovely wooded area is really noteworthy too. The breakfasts here are sensational, and the service is very personalized and excellent. Just the appetizers on their own are worth mentioning, and if you want to talk about amazing, just take a look at their entrees. Wow. Just thinking about the great things they have to offer here makes our mouths water! You'll be able to locate Two Bird Cafe on San Geronimo Valley Drive between Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and Creamery Road.
♦ Cowgirl Creamery ♦
Cowgirl Creamery is one of our favorite places to go in nearby Point Reyes Station, and though this one wouldn't quite fall under the category of restaurants or bars, we still couldn't bear to leave it off this list. You can stop in on your way home and get an incredible loaf of homemade sourdough bread, some incredible Red Hawk cheese, and perhaps some of their awesome homemade iced tea. And how about those XOX Truffles for dessert? You can pick up all these things and have a much better dinner at home than you can at any restaurant! And we love that. The location of Cowgirl Creamery is at 80 4th Street in Point Reyes Station.
♦ Osteria Stellina ♦
Osteria Stellina is both an excellent organic restaurant and a fantastic wine bar. They keep the decor very simple and beautiful here, very minimal and elegant in keeping with modern Italian style. The food is kept simple and elegant too, with wonderful vegetarian dishes and fabulous small plates. The ambiance here is intimate and quaint, and there's not a whole lot of seating so you can expect a little bit of a wait at times. Just arrive early and give yourself a little extra time. You can find Osteria Stellina at 11285 Highway 1 in Point Reyes Station.

♦ Station House Cafe ♦
Station House Cafe is such a wonderful place to sit down and enjoy a great meal and some coffee. This restaurant is great any time of day, whether you are coming in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's true that they can sometimes be really packed for breakfast because it's a very popular spot, so arrive early! The quality of the ingredients is what makes it so great here, and the attention to detail by the chefs and the waitstaff is really what makes all the difference. You'll be able to locate Station House Cafe at 11180 California 1 in nearby Point Reyes Station. Just great!
♦ Pine Cone Diner ♦
Pine Cone Diner is a really great little surprise on 4th Street in Point Reyes Station. They've got some of the very best burgers around. If you appreciate an old fashioned diner atmosphere and the kind of old fashioned service that comes along with it, then you will really love this place. It's quaint and cute, and very memorable. Their fries and shakes are also fantastic! It's cash only here, but it's worth a stop at the ATM. Great cobb salads here as well! The location of Pine Cone Diner is at 60 4th Street in Point Reyes Station, and we recommend it very highly to you!
♦ Toby's CoffeeBar ♦
Toby's CoffeeBar is really unique, with the decor being a mixture of creative (courtesy of the attached art gallery) and functional (courtesy of the sales of hay and feed for goats and horses). If that's not interesting and eclectic, then we don't know what is! Did we mention that there's also a yoga studio attached? They've got it all here. Come in for the great coffee and see what transpires. You will find Toby's CoffeeBar at 11250 Highway 1 in Point Reyes Station! We love this place!
♦ Old Western Saloon ♦
Old Western Saloon is one of our favorites in Point Reyes Station, very nearby to Nicasio, and we just love the authentic atmosphere here. The bar is really over a century old, with all the relics and stories that go along with that. You can talk to the bartenders and the locals about the rich history here, and you'll really love the fact that they use an authentic cash register from back before WWI. Despite the old fashioned atmosphere, they do manage to bring in some of today's best bands! And you can watch them play or just enjoy playing pool in the other room. There's so much to do here. You can find Old Western Saloon at 11201 California 1 in Point Reyes Station!
♦ Broken Drum Brewery ♦
Broken Drum Brewery is just a stone's throw away from Nicasio, in nearby San Rafael, and we always love coming here for their famous pulled pork sandwiches! Yum, they are fantastic. We really love the spacious atmosphere here, and the service is really friendly and inviting. The beer is supremely cheap here, and they've got a nice selection of it too! It can be very loud and boisterous here, so if you love it lively, like we do, then you will certainly want to check this one out! The location of Broken Drum Brewery is on 4th Street between A Street and B Street in San Rafael!
♦ Hamilton Cafe ♦
Hamilton Cafe is another great cafe and wine bar in nearby Novato, and we love the fact that it's so family friendly and relaxed here. No pretense whatsoever, and we appreciate that. The food is just wonderful! You can come in any day of the week and enjoy a wide array of flavors, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and on Sundays, brunch! It's beautiful here with lots of palm trees around the area. It's a very pleasant drive. The location of Hamilton Cafe is on Palm Drive near Main Gate Road in nearby Novato. Very highly recommended!
