Restaurants in San Anselmo

Though its doors recently closed for a full renovation, The Napper Tandy emerged bigger than ever, stuffing its interior with nine plasma TVs, two fireplaces, and a giant projector screen. While watching games of Ireland’s beloved football—or the American adaptation that’s less faithful to the original book—patrons nosh on everything from hearty irish breakfasts to beer-battered cod fillets served with tartar sauce and hand-cut fries. A karaoke and billiards area offers a more interactive experience to entertain guests as they sip on 1 of 13 draft beers or a bloody mary made with the pub's own pickling spices.

Scents of garlic, mint, sumac, and jasmine fill the air at Layaly Mediterranean Grill. Across the dining room, tables are packed with dishes such as tabouli with parsley and marinated-lamb kebabs, or hearty tajines, which mingle prawns with squash and kalamatas. Sweet, housemade baklava rounds out each meal.
