It's time for some fall cleaning on the site so that anyone looking for a restaurant that has closed, or changed hands to a new name and concept can be noted before embarking on a jaunt and be disappointed. I'm cleaning my sidebar after I post this so just the remaining restaurants are listed. Because I've not been actively blogging for awhile, some of these have been closed for awhile.  But on to a freshened site!

and many others have come and gone before I even got a review up... it's quite amazing what has happened in the Marin food scene in the past 3 or so years.  Lots of turnover, and lots of good things to come.  And my nearly accomplished goal of tasting in all establishments has slipped every further away.  Oh well!  Bon Appetite!
