When Mill Valley opened, honestly, I gave them about a year before folding. I think the location is somewhat crappy, housed in the new Ellipse complex at France and Excelsior. Parking is annoying. And tucked beside a nail salon and a couple other (clearly forgettable) enterprises.
But it speaks to the skill of the chefs and the intelligence of the concept that they've thrived. The food is delicious (my sea bass was the perfect post-gym hit of clean, healthy protein) and the menu makes it easy and exciting to pick nourishing foods. Each dish includes a calorie, protein, carb, and fat count but the display is soft and not centerstage. The menu alone makes the concept clear: healthy is good, and healthy and flavorful should not be mutually exclusive.
They also provide a yummy sampling of miniature desserts for $3 a pop, a great way to finish off all that edible morality with a tiny smidge of sin.
