MARIN COUNTY, CA — A Marshall restaurant, Tony's Seafood, was selected for first-time inclusion on the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand list for 2021. The prestigious list includes 45 new California additions this year, with 19 in the Bay Area, including Santa Cruz County.

The Tony's Seafood reviewer dining notes said, "Under the ownership of Hog Island Oyster Co., the restaurant offers a casual but seriously delicious foray into ace seafood that's been caught or harvested in local waters."

If you are not familiar with this list, it is intended to provide you with exceptional dining options without breaking your budget.
