Best Restaurant in Marin County!. The Buckeye is a legend and deserves the accolades it continues to recieve. The ambience is cozy and upscale yet casual at the same time. The service is up to fine dining standards and very detailed. I had the loch duart salmon tartare which was delicious, but a small portion which left me wanting more. My date had the portobello mushroom tart with goat cheese and polenta which was a perfect combination of earthy, rich flavors. I had the corvina fish special which was perfectly light, fresh and savory with butternut squash and apples and my date had the petit fliet which was like butter!! The wine list is impressive also! I would highly reccomend NOT missing this place!

My favorite restaurant in Marin. One of my to 10 in the world!. There is nothing bad about the Buckeye, except that its busy and you need a reservation, unless your going to lunch.... my personal favorites... oysters bingo. Broiled oysters w/ cheese and spinach topped w/ lemon. The onion rings that are served w/ the best mustard seed ketchup. The pan roasted artichoke, yum... and the skirt steak, followed by the world famous smores pie for desert.... pure heaven!

It's a treat everytime. I've been going there for so many years and i still enjoy this snobby lodge-like ambiance. Great appetizers, meats, sides order as well as amazing offering of raw oysters and the house specialty, the oyster bingos! Not a great place to bring kids. You will have to wait before being seated as they are always packed. Take that as a good sign. It's worth the wait, not to mention that you'll be able to enjoy a great cocktail at the bar, and perhaps sneak in one of these oyster bingo while you wait.

Not what I expected.. I had heard great things about this place and was somewhat disappointed at the point of delivery. First off, our waitress was a complete snob (probably becasue we were all in are early 20s) and paid very little attention to us. The food was okay, my friends ribs were tough and the salad I had was soggy from mushroom juices. The atmosphere was, however, fabulous. The hunting lodge vibe worked well with the game/seafood oriented menu. Maybe I'll try it again in 10 years when they'll give me some respect.

This is one FANCY roadhouse. I went here with 3 others for a business lunch. The food was increadible! I ordered the lasagna to be safe, and it was NOT your typical lasagne. It was GOURMET. I didn't order a salad, not wanting to look like a pig, but then I realized everyone else ordered one. I had to watch my boss eat his warm spinach salad--baby spinach with sauteed mushrooms and a large piece of deep fried goat cheese on top. When he cut into it, the cheese just oozed all over the salad. I have not been able to stop thinking about this place. My only complaint was that I had to ask for an iced tea refill. The waitor said he'd be right back and came back several minutes later. The food took a long time to be served as well.

Buckeye - a good date. The Buckeye has some tasty food. I enjoyed my meal there, especially the butter lettuce salad. Wine list isn't bad either. I'd recommend it for a nice dinner with your family visiting from out of town, as well as for a nice date with someone starting to get special. Valet parking a plus. Definitely make a reservation.

A classic roadhouse in Mill Valley, complete with a roaring fireplace, bustling bar and upscale American cuisine.. In Short
This restaurant just off the freeway in Mill Valley has an open feeling, with high-peaked ceilings and large-paned windows. Dark-wood walls, a large stone fireplace and stuffed animal trophies add to the country ambience. The menu consists of classic American cuisine, much of which is cooked in a brick smokehouse in back. Dishes include barbecued baby back ribs, smoked Sonoma duck, maple mashed yams, cilantro garlic fries and S'more pie.

overall, great. The food and service have always been great when I've been there but expect the noise level here to be above average. Even with a reservation you won't be seated on time. I highly suggest the lamb shank. Upstairs seating offers zero ambiance.
