   Had a nice lunch on a Tuesday at 12:30. It got very busy so our wait person was stretched to cover all the tables quickly. We weren’t in a hurry so it didn’t bother us. Overall it’s a lovely setting, good variety of food and a nice atmosphere with helpful staff.

   Ambiance appealing and inviting. An unexpected surprise was a $3 charge per Manhattan served UP. A little greedy. Overall we our party had a good time.

   After years (yes, YEARS) in the doldrums, Il Fornaio Corte Madera (lFCM) has been making a comeback. A relatively new chef, a dynamic maitre d' (now, regrettably, on leave), and improvements in the kitchen staff = much better food preparations than in the recent past. But the front of the house was a disaster today. Party of five for lunch. House maybe 2/3 filled. A hopelessly inept, inhospitable, monosyllabic hostess would not change our table to another that we preferred; we had to make an end run around her to the maitre d'. 25 minutes after being reseated and given water and menus, we had to again seek help from the maitre d' to find a waiter for us. That finally worked out satisfactorily. In short, the personnel at the front of the house were notably weak, and it soured what should have been a relaxed dining occasion for us. In short, IFCM seems again to be faltering, predominantly because of poor staff work at the front of the house. Our hostess today seemed not to have had either adequate training or experience. But that person is a guest's first impression of the restaurant, and should be well trained about how to welcome, treat, and interact professionally with guests. The older, reliable, professional waiters of IFCM are almost all gone -- at least for lunch service -- and the IFCM experience and value are poorer because of that. We are locals who in the past, since the early 2000s, had frequented IFCM often. Regrettably, after today,s experience, we will probably not return for a while, and when we do, it may be with some trepidation. We hope that in the intervening time until our next visit, IFCM can address the staffing issues that made today's visit a disappointing one for us.

   We had a nice dinner at Il Fornaio. Food was excellent, prices were reasonable. Service was adequate but could have been a bit more attentive.

   An old favorite, we go there for nostalgia occasionally. Would not describe it as super innovative, but it's a classic, always reliably good. Service and ambiance also always good, especially Javier, who is extraordinary, and has become a friend!
