Opened in 2019 by renowned Marin restaurateur Bill Higgins (Buckeye Roadhouse, Picco, Bar Bocce, Bungalow 44) General Manager Jim Whaley and Executive Chef Michael Siegel, Floodwater turns out elevated bar fare and fresh pizzas in front of your eyes, courtesy of a wood-fired pizza oven — but it’s not just the pizza that has people talking. The elegantly approachable Californian menu includes a Waygu cheeseburger and veggie burger. Sip a quarantini at the lively bar on game night or any night or stop in for a burger, house made fettuccine, or the famous Shorty’s tall Reuben with just the right amount of Russian dressing to sate any hiker after a day of hiking Marin’s peaks. Order a handcrafted “Gold Rush” (Old Forester bourbon, local honey, lemon) at the long 20 seat bar and watch the game on 5 huge 4K HD TV’s while noshing on pork belly steamed buns or diving into Shorty’s Tall Reuben. Up the coziness factor in the leather-couched Den as you tuck into a Positano pizza cooked in the wood-fired oven at this spacious Tam Valley/Manzanita Tavern with pool table and shuffleboard. The Patio features multiple fire pits. Hours are 4pm to 9pm Monday through Thursday, 12pm to 10pm Friday and Saturday, 12pm to 8pm Sunday.
