Historical San Rafael handoff received 2026-09-18 (Pasted text(20260918-170924).txt; source libfile_d3f78868ae7081918e277bf4db4ccf2c). Original research/check dates and direct links were absent. Assistant assessments are not user visit or taste feedback. Historical claim: Historical priority: multigenerational family restaurant with dedicated Plant-Based & Vegan menu; possible mixed-group and repeat-visit fit. Qualification queue: Inspect vegan dishes separately from plant-based labels; exclude creamy preparations from lead recommendations. 2026-09-18 source qualification: Qualified specific vegan menu. https://www.sanrafaeljoes.com/about explicitly describes multigenerational Farina-family involvement and community support. Repeated-visit potential remains an inference. Gaps: Spaghetti price conflicts internally: heading $20, description Side $13 / Full $17. Vegan sauce names are visible but descriptions truncate; select vegan Neopolitan or Red Bordelaise, not an arbitrary sauce from the general menu. Freshness/egg-free production method beyond the explicit Vegan label unverified. Official contact page inspected but no weekly hours found.
