The second annual Mill Valley Restaurant Rally returns this September with a rockin’ twist.

For the week of September 15-22, Mill Valley’s top restaurants are offering mouthwatering 3-course prix fixe menus from $55-$65 as well as a $10 specialty cocktail featuring local distiller Batiste Rhum. 

In addition to the food & drink specials, this year’s MVRR will also celebrate Sweetwater Music Hall‘s 50+ year legacy in Marin. Many of the participating restaurants are touting a menu of their greatest hits inspired by their favorite bands, everyone from the Grateful Dead to Santana to the Rolling Stones.

Furthermore, participating restaurants will award one lucky diner with a “Golden Ticket” upon receipt of their bill; this year’s prize is a pair of tickets to an upcoming Sweetwater concert. This unique music and food pairing is a fun way for diners to discover new establishments as well as revisit some of their old favorites.
