Brent on Beer: New Brewer Makes Heady Changes at Rafters from Marin Independent Journal May 24, 2006
"I was pleasantly surprised by a sampling of the six beers on tap last week. In March, I'd sampled Rafters' India pale ale at the Fairfax Brewfest and had been shocked by its full-bodied hoppiness. Figuring another taste would result in something completely different, as had been the track record for this brewery, I was shocked again that it had the same characteristics and abundant flavor this time around."

 
A Brewing Balancing Act at Rafters from BayCrossing July 2007
"Rafters Grille & Brewery may not try to brew the most exotic craft brew selection in the area, but it does have refreshing, well-balanced beers, good food and a welcoming atmosphere. I found the bar crowd and staff to be quite friendly and engaging, and, I felt like a regular right away. The restaurant itself has a very open, friendly environment complemented by an exceptionally high ceiling and a brewhouse that is visible from the dining room."

 

First Bite - Bohemian.com April 18-24, 2007

"As the evening wound down and we became sated, we returned to the question: Is Rafters' food as good as it seemed, or were we just famished from hiking? The clear consensus is that Rafters is the full package with great beer and satisfying food. And here's the rare part: it's a Marin restaurant where you can have a big plate and a pint in a comfortable room for under $20. I'll be back"
