Best Restaurants for Quiet Conversation in Rutherford

Amazing experience! Top dining destination for our recent trip to wine country. Lobster pot pie not to be missed. Our server was outstanding! She was super informative regarding ingredients of the menu and always there when we needed anything without being intrusive. Great atmosphere. We will certainly return when we visit the area.

Service/food were superb! Can’t beat the ambiance!!

We were in a group of 6 (3 couples) and we started off needing an unusual request. We had a nurse coming directly from a very long shift who was absolutely starving. The restaurant staff took appetizer orders from us literally right upon seating us and the first dishes came out in less than 10 minutes. This was on a Friday night when the restaurant was completely packed with a wait list. It might seem like a small thing but they made us feel welcome and accommodated at every step of the meal The food was great, the drinks and service were absolutely amazing and the atmosphere was perfect for a fun night out on the town with friends. The shared plate tapas menu was ideal for our group that wanted to try a variety of items and share with the table. Highly recommended for date nights, groups and anytime you don't mind a lively atmosphere and a little bit of noise. Not recommended for children or people seeking a quiet conversation.

We had a wonderful experience at Ristorante. The staff was great, food was even better and they served me a complimentary dessert for my birthday. It was so nice. I appreciated the birthday love and experience.

Insalata's never disappoints and my husband thinks they have the best burger in Marin County. Their Fattoush salad has gotten a little pricey at $25 but is still so delicious. It's huge and could easily be split. Service is prompt and courteous and they have a menu that's hard to choose from as there are so many mouth-watering choices. We love to visit Insalata's and plan to return there often.
