Let's be honest: Marin County is fab in many ways. World's most beautiful landscape? Check. Birthplace of the mountain bike and the hot tub? Check. Stomping ground of the Grateful Dead? Check. But the restaurant scene has been lackluster. Until now.
LA import Farmshop (located in the newly revamped Marin Country Mart) has upped the ante. The food is noteworthy, but we're more interested in the interiors, designed by Commune.
