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 doesn’t 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. We’ve got nothing to hide - when it comes to nutrition facts, we operate with total transparency providing nutritional disclosure printed right on the menu.

ambition
Eat well to be well. Wellness begins from within. We believe that what you eat, how you care for your body and the way you feel are all linked.
clean ingredients
We champion a philosophy that good food comes naturally by using clean simple cooking methods, nutrient-dense ingredients prepared by passionate and knowledgeable culinary professionals for your nourishment and enjoyment.
Transparency
We pride ourselves on sharing nutritional information on the menu because we believe our guests like to know what they’re eating.
Accommodation
We happily accommodate dietary restrictions and food allergies. Many of our dishes are gluten-free or vegan and our well-trained staff are able to assist with any questions about adaptable dishes or additional allergy concerns.
Please be aware that although we follow best practices to safely accommodate allergies and special diets, we do not have a dedicated allergen-free facility, and as such all our ingredients may come into contact with shared equipment and work surfaces.

we love
local
Food that is produced locally and responsibly contributes to thriving local economies and livelihoods, so we pride ourselves on doing everything we can to support our local food producers. From seasonal produce direct from family-owned farms, goods from small locally owned businesses, responsibly sourced sustainable proteins, and even compostable plant-based packaging, we are committed to minimizing negative impacts on the environment and doing good for our surrounding community.
Great atmosphere, delicious food and our waiter Jesse was fantastic! He was so helpful and patient with all of questions as well as prompt and attentive without being overly attentive. 😊 We'll definitely go back!!

Knocking it down a star because we lived in the Ellipse Apt above the apartment and there was a huge miss on marketing to us - especially in the heat of COVID. I may have direct deposited paycheck here if they would have had to the door delivery or even a little discount - just anything to incentive us to purchase from them. read less
