    Tiburon, Marin County, CA

    Cottage Eatery *(14.5) !(2) $(19-54) Tel.=415-596-3895.  114 Main Street.  Dinner Tuesday-Saturday 5:30-10:00 PM.
    Simple decor with tan butcher block paper and low ceilings mark this venue, which has had several make overs since Servino left for a larger space with a view many years ago.  California cuisine with Mediterranean influences and local produce are their hallmark. Pleasant appetizers included: artichoke and fennel gratin, soft cooked farm egg,Fiore Sardo and Nociarra olive oil, as well as prosciutto wrapped Zuckerman Farm asparagus, salsa verde and 7 year balsamic. We split a lasagna Bolognese as an intermezzo course; though it was tasty, it needed to be cooked through better. The center was just lukewarm. Braised Anderson Farm lamb breast was enjoyable, but very rich and fatty and didn’t need the fresh horse radish. Chicken cacciatore was over sauced, and the accompanying delicious smashed potatoes didn’t need the richness of extra oil on their surface. Toothsome desserts included a chocolate custard tart and a peach cobbler, each accompanied by vanilla ice cream. An appropriate international wine selection was reasonably priced, except for the Nuits St-Georges; corkage is $20.00 if you bring your own.
