Marin veg restzaturants (was: Roxanne's closes Digest Number 1016)

August 8, 2004

Emily,

At least there is Lydia's in Fairfax, which is not that far from San Rafael.

They are open late for dinner, and their prices are much more reasonable. A

full meal for around $15, depending on how many extra dishes you get.

I never had a chance to try Roxanne's .
