about mill valley
who
we are
Mill Valley Kitchen is the shared passion of husband and wife team Mike & Abby Rakun founded in their practices at home of preparing food with their children that is both nourishing and delicious. MVK is a tribute to the Mill Valley Region, a Northern California community famous for its thoughtfully crafted food, and credited with the birth of the Slow Food movement and sustainable farming. Utilizing sustainable and locally sourced meats, produce, and the finest seafoods, our menu offers variety and comfort for an active clientele that knows living a healthy lifestyle doesnโt have to mean sacrificing flavor or fun.
Open for Lunch, Happy Hour and Dinner 7 days a week, we always have a variety of options to accommodate special dietary needs like gluten-free, vegan, and other allergies or dietary restrictions. The focus is fresh, feel-good food. Weโve got nothing to hide - when it comes to nutrition facts, we operate with total transparency providing nutritional disclosure printed right on the menu.

- Sam T. 2/25/2024Tried this for a girls dinner and it was good! We made a reservation which I'm glad we did as it was packed. Got seated right away in the restaurant upon arrival but parking was a hot mess - give yourself time to find a spot as it's a shared lot with other businesses and an apartment complex. Food was good but nothing to write home about. We started with the crab cake appetizer which was nice - good mix of flavors with citrus, spicy and a side salad. For dinner we shared a variety of things. The miso sea bass was the winner by far! Steak was nice but sides (polenta, eggplant) were nothing special and not great. We also got the squash salad with salmon. It was just okay - the squash was cold which ruined it for me although the salmon was warm. Service was a bit slow but I think because our server was letting us chat and catch up ha! Would recommend a visit - healthy options and a nice spot overall.read moreread less
- Irina Karpitskaya 2/25/2024Tried this place for the first time and was pretty impressed! Very nice atmosphere. Almost felt like I was on vacation in another country. Probably the best eggs Benedict I've had in a while. Coffee is really good. I had a latte and husband had cappuccino. Good kombucha. Kids menu was very nice and actually tasty. We tried buttered noodles, a pancake and cheese flatbread. Very reasonable prices and great service! I honestly don't have any negatives about this place which is hard to find now days. We will def be back!! Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is great options and taste wise.read moreread less

We have been searching for a restaurant with farm to table style with organic, GF, DF options and this restaurant checks ALL the boxes! Menu options all looked incredible- we wanted to try everything listed! The variety we ordered tasted amazing! Will definitely be coming back!read moreread less
- Katherine T 1/02/2024Great service, lovely restaurant, excellent food. Absolutely delicious food and wonderful service. Very sensitive to allergies. My husband and I both had salads and he had two bites left when the waitress came to take our plates and he would let her take his plate because he wanted to eat every bite. Yes, the salads are that good! Our picky eaters (the kids) also loved their food.read moreread less
- Dan McD 12/13/2023This was my 3rd trip to MVK and all have been great experiences. Food, service...and atmosphere. It was a "holiday busy" vibe given mid-December, but without the sheer volume of noise level that some restaurants have. We were in the adjacent semi-private room for a small event with about 10 people and it was great. We ordered off the regular dinner menu & the grilled pork tenderloin w/sweet potato was amazing!read moreread less
