The Boardroom Novato, CA - Novato, California

We recently celebrated our anniversary here and had a great dinner. The waiter went above and beyond, and the food and drinks were excellent. The only change we would have liked would be to have some music playing, because it felt like the atmosphere was lacking a bit. But, if you go on a Friday or Saturday they have live piano music. Next time we'll do that!

You’d never believe a place this nice was located in a small strip mall! Small, intimate setting so the servers can see all the tables and attend to you quickly. Live piano player was excellent and took requests. Food was fantastic, didn’t need an ounce of salt or pepper added! Apart from the high end steaks the prices were reasonable. I’m definitely going to back.

The food was simply amazing! A great variety of food with specials making sure everyone in your party is satisfied. The perfectly curated drinks enhanced the meal and dinner experience. Our waitress, whose name escapes me, was on point at every turn. The appearance of the of surrounding business WAY underplay what you will find inside. Very elegant, old-school dining when dinner was an event. Gorgeous banquettes with ample, yet low, lighting make for an intimate setting.

I came here because it looked like a good place. I wondered why I never tried it. Upon entering the place gives off a nice atmosphere. However it very dark in there, very bad lighting. The crab shrimp Louie is now just a shrimp Louie. For $21 I was very disappointed that it was very plain and bland with only 5 shrimp. There was not even enough to eat the salad with. The Louie sauce tasted like ketchup and mayo. The appetizer I ordered came out after I finished my salad. It was delicious but I was surprised I had to put it together myself. The waitress didn’t even check on me once not even to refill my water glass.

One of my favorite places in Novato. Its small, quiet and dark and it has a piano!

The selections and service are top notch! I've been coming here since it opened and surprised that you can get such a high quality dining experience in the shopping plaza location that it's in.

This is a testament to its owner/founder, Munther. You can tell he sweats the details and it all pays off. The ambiance is what you'd expect of a boutique steakhouse. It features icons of yesteryear and backs it up with top notch service that you don't find anymore. The soft piano in the background is a really nice touch and makes you forget that you are in a chaotic shopping plaza.

The quality of meal is really top notch. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. I've had their pork chop (amazing), Tomahawk (amazing as well but bring a date) and of course the ribeye are, you guessed it, AMAZING!

I love their sides too. The creamed spinach is a wonderful treat, truffle fries, whipped potatoes and the roasted Yukon potatoes are killer. Dont forget the side of green beans!

Anyhoo, if your in the South Novato area and want an unexpected fine dining experience, dont hesitate to look up the Board Room!

Hidden gem in Novato! Excellent service and great food. Ambiance is one to experience - intimate and moody, just like the Speakeasy next door. Fine dining in one room and "Speakeasy" bar next door. They have a live pianist in the dining room on select nights which I have experienced, highly recommended. The odd location adds to the appeal of the "Speakeasy" feel.

Very cool place attached to a speakeasy. Hiden away in an unassuming plaza. The interior is very fitting. The staff was top notch and the food was excellect. I had the lamb shank the first time i went and filet mignon the second. I would recommend both dishes
