New American Restaurants near Sausalito, CA

“Elizabeth is a wonderful waitress who catered to our every need and gave us a taste of every sauce on the menu that went with our delicious burgers, fries & onion rings! We stopped in on 11/2 during a cruise stop.“

“Excellent place to try! Great staff and great food“

“We went to celebrate three birthdays. We are glad we went and would return. It was nice to be in a restaurant where the noise level was not too high and we could hear each other. Overall we thought the food was above average. We had four different entrees and only the salmon was somewhat disappointing--we thought it needs a little more kick of some kind. We really enjoyed the mushroom and eggplant tart. Also, the pear dessert was delicious.“

“The food in this restaurant is delicious, I hope you have time to try it.“

“If you make a reservation then you will be hosted in the dining area with fixed menu.
If you walk in, you can sit in the lounge and bar area which is a first come first serve basis. They also have some tables in this area.
Staff were super friendly and guided us with the menu.
My favorite dish was the famous burger which is only available in the lounge area.“

“It was our first time and we were definitely pleased. Everything was delicious!“

“🌟 NOPA San Francisco: A Bucket List Culinary Triumph! 🌟 Review by: The Bucket List Coach Webshow. I recently had the distinct pleasure of crossing a major culinary destination off my bucket list: NOPA San Francisco. My dining experience on December 12, 2025, was not just a meal; it was an absolute masterclass in hospitality and farm-to-table excellence. Exceptional Service: A Shoutout to Zach! From the moment we sat down, the experience was elevated by our server, Zach. He truly went above and beyond, anticipating needs and offering spot-on recommendations, making the dining experience feel incredibly special and seamless. A massive shoutout to Zach, as well as the entire Culinary team, Management team, and staff—the level of coordination and passion was palpable. Appetizers and Beverages: Instant Classics The meal kicked off with the Date and Pear appetizer, which was absolutely fantastic—a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and texture. And for the beer lovers out there, you must try the Honey Beer 🍺. I'm officially adding this to my personal "Beer Bucket List!" I will absolutely be recommending it to all my followers on my podcast and through my travel agency. Thanks to Woods Beer and Wine Company! The Entrée: Perfection on a Plate For the main course, I opted for the Duck, and it was cooked to perfection. Seriously, melt in the mouth- tender meat was phenomenal. The plate presentation was stunning, far exceeding my expectations—it was a true work of art. The side of Grapefruit and Vinaigrette Salad was the perfect accompaniment. It was one of the best salads I have ever had in San Francisco; the brightness of the grapefruit cut through the richness of the duck beautifully. Desserts: Celebrating National Cocoa Day! To celebrate National Cocoa Day Dec. 13th-I couldn't resist. I highly suggest partaking in the Hot Chocolate for a decadent dessert item—it was rich, velvety, and a perfect holiday treat. And if you still have room, the Cheesecake with Brown Sugar is another truly fantastic dessert that offers a wonderful, comforting finish to the meal. NOPA is more than just a restaurant; it's a destination. The ambiance, the incredible staff like Zach, and the impeccable, thoughtful food quality solidify NOPA as a must-visit spot in San Francisco. It earns its place on any serious foodie's bucket list Cindy Lee Podcast Host at Bucket List Coach Web Show & Founder of Bucket List Coach Travel Tours“

“One of my favorite restaurants in San Francisco. Excellent food, especially the homemade charcuterie and cheese selection.

Also fantastic cocktails, and a great wine selection. The Morris never disappoints! PS Get the Chartreuse Slushy as an aperitif. 😉“

“We had dinner there and the food was delicious…. The fried quail was the star. The starters were excellent. Very recommended restaurant“

“It took me a while to try this restaurant since we have many good options on Potrero Hill but finally I did and now love it and return regularly. The flavors are unique, the food is fresh, the staff is kind and the coffee good. I like to try different dishes and I've enjoyed: Roasted Cauliflower Bowl, Pesto Eggs Benedict, French Toast, Vegetarian Scramble. My husband is a fan of the wagyu skewers. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Highly recommend.“

“What an amazing culinary experience! We had a three course meal. The waiter was very helpful, friendly and had great recommendations! I highly recommend this place if you're in San Francisco!“

“We walked in on NYE without a reservation and they graciously found us a spot in the bar area. Service was on point and staff were festively dressed! I love a crafty cocktail but most are too sweet. I had the Smokey mezcal cocktail 🍹. Perfection. Appetizers were delish as well. Perfect way to start our NYE celebrations.“

“awesome wine experience. Chris and his team are really dedicated sommeliers and love sharing their knowledge with you. i highly recomend this place. welcome to the world of wines.“

“Previously my visit in 2019 was treasured as my favorite meal I've ever had until this recent visit, which is now the greatest meal I've ever had. I'm grateful for Chef Corey Lee and his endless pursuit for excellence in elevating and innovating Asian cuisine. I came in Dec 26th the day after Christmas to see Chef Lee standing in the middle of the kitchen during service in admiration of his dedication and the dishes that were presented were exactly what I think fine dining, Michelin starred restaurants, and farm to table restaurants should represent. Taking classic Asian flavors and dishes from many different countries while using the finest produce to make dishes that set a new reference point. Some dishes were so familiar to me, the cod reminded me of my Vietnamese mom's catfish that I grew up eating, and other dishes while not nostalgic had clear intent to paint a picture through immaculate flavors and presentation. The dessert course I had in 2019 left much to be desired but this time it left me in awe at how complete the tasting menu is. Thank you Benu for an unforgettable experience.“

“Holy Schnike!!! The food is incredibly delicious, the non-seafood versions I am getting are the most amazing tastes. The Wines paired with the dishes are inspired and spot on.“

“The food was not only delicious but beautifully designed. Each plate was like a work of art. And entire staff was lovely and attentive. The added so many wonderful touches for my wife's birthday. It was truly a one of a kind experience.“

“Prospect pleasantly pleased palette-possibilities perfectly! 🙃 . . I opened with the Candace cocktail—Gin, Licor 43, St. Germaine, Peychaud’s and a citrus slice—flirted with my inner #Hedonist in a way that every cocktail should. Each sip sparkled with hints of sweet and sour with salacious depth. I find so much inspiration at the bottom of a glass… . . Then I went with my favorite protein, braised octopus; nested in squid ink gnocchi with an almond relish! It was a dope expression of land and sea in every bite. . . Followed, was the mushroom lasagna; layered with trumpets and truffles, dusted with lemon-shallot bread crumbles. It gave a béchamel-type flavor that was rich, luxurious and lingering. . . Finally—ending with the Scallops grounded in a Venetian black rice, sorrel butter and fennel sofrito! The sear was sensually done; perfectly caramelized Andy succulently sinful. . . Thank you Prospect for reinforcing the internal passion I have for gastronomy! 🗣 B R A V O ! .“

“awesome food , great service definitely recommended“

I mean wicked good!
Staff are awesome.
The food is awesome.
The vibe is awesome.
Always catering to US.
I’m sooo glad this place is still here.
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO WORKS HERE!“

“What a great place, and why I have discovered it only now. John is the most gracious host who made us feel extremely welcome and comfortable. The whole place is very cozy. It's like a private dining. We were able to enjoy our food and talk as if we were the only people in the restaurant. The food was also great. I don't really like butternut squash soup, but I loved John's. Halibut was very delicious that melted in your mouth. The other dishes were also great and wonderfully presented. Even the dinner rolls which they bake in the house, were also delicious. I actually begged John, and he gave me some to take home. I think the local patrons should chip in and buy this place a great espresso machine :). That was the only thing missing for me in this dinner.“

“I’ve been coming here for years to meet w/family & friends to celebrate or anytime just because or to unwind in the comfy lounge & experience MKT Bar’s excellent service you find in a Four Seasons & the drinks are simply the best! Today was my daughter’s boyfriend’s 1st time here & he understood 💯 why we love MKT Bar & he is an awesome bartender!“

“Great food and ambience here!“

“Key Klub is one of my favorite spots in SF! The vibe is perfect — neon lights, exposed brick, and just the right mix of modern and cozy. The wine list is amazing (and super fun to explore), and the food is way better than your usual bar snacks. It’s great for a date night or a night out celebrating with friends. The staff are always friendly and make the whole experience even better.“

“The view is comfortable and the dishes are exquisite. It is highly recommended.“

“Dog friendly. Supper nice staff“

“The restaurant has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that makes you feel at home as soon as you walk in the door. The environment is vibrant with warm lighting, rustic wooden tables, and friendly staff who will go out of their way to ensure you have a memorable visit. I ordered their famous lemon ricotta pancakes, which were perfectly fluffy, tangy, and served with crispy potatoes that were seasoned just right. The freshness of the ingredients really stood out, making every bite an absolute treat. What I loved most about dining at The Plough was the sense of community and comfort that one felt while dining. It's clear that the restaurant paid attention to every detail, from the decor to the presentation of the dishes, to create an inviting and enjoyable dining experience.“

“food is top notch and the bar always manages to overcome being buried!!“

“Very unique atmosphere! Great food and drinks!“

“Great breakfast and fast service Thank you ♥️♥️“

“Absolutely amazing food and service“

“If happiness were a restaurant, I’m pretty sure it would be called *That’s My Jam*. I came in expecting a nice meal and left questioning whether I should move a small bed into the corner and live there permanently.

First of all, the food? Absolutely incredible. Every bite felt like it was made by someone who genuinely cares about flavor, the quality of food they feed to others… and possibly about my emotional well-being. If you're lucky enough to chat with the chef or his wife, do so! You can tell they really put their heart and soul into every aspect of this establishment.

The vibe is warm, cozy, and the kind of place where you instantly relax. The staff were so friendly that by the end of the meal I felt like we were all part of a very delicious support group.

Final verdict: come hungry, bring friends, and prepare to fall in love with your meal. If you hear someone at the next table whispering “wow” between bites… that’s probably me again.

The only issue I have now is I doubt any other resturant will be able to provide my taste buds with the same magical expereince. I live in SJ but 10/10 would happily get jammed here anytime. 🍓✨

Not pictured is the chef special quiche - GET IT.“

“One65 was an amazing discovery on our trip to San Francisco. Having spent the first half of our life in Montréal, Québec, Canada where it was hard to find a bad restaurant, we were absolutely amazed by this Bistro which looks more like a high end dining experience. The menu online & the photos attracted us to this location but we were amazed by the well timed service, the crisp white tablecloths, the table setting and the pleasant and calm atmosphere. My choices of charcuterie platter was perfectly sized; the chicken & the pork rillettes where a wonderful surprise. My husband had an onion tart with the crust as perfect as they get & which I envied. He loved his halibut, moist and tender and I raved over my grilled half lobster, so tender that I found myself munching on the shell parts as well. My bread pudding was not of overwhelming size & perfectly flavored. Don chose the Affogato (scoop of vanilla gelato « drowned » with a shot of hot espresso). We wanted to go back today but they are closed on Sundays.?“

“Pretty good food. Fries could have been hotter and needed more salt, but the smashburger was good. My wife’s steak was slightly undercooked and not enough sear, but it was still delicious. Not sure if the price point was worth it. $130 after 2 beers and tip.“

“Personable and professional service. Promptly served“

“I must say i had high hopes but the meal was tasteless but my friends had too much salt. I wanted to like it. Wont return, wont recommend. ☹“

“Had San Francisco Cioppino (Mussels. Clams, Crab, Cod, Prawns, Scallops and Garlic Bread that was the bomb). Only giving 2 thumbs up as I only have 2. Great food, great service!“

“Love this place. Beautiful view and great customer service. Delicious food and the atmosphere was very relaxing…“

“Holy moly, this place was great! The food is tasty & beautifully served. The service was great & Hannah made terrific suggestions. Really well done!“

“just lovely! vegan friendly but the fried chicken was tops!“

“A great way to experience a four course meal at an affordable price, with delicious food. We will definitely be back.“

“It was an amazingly flavourful brunch that my husband I shared for his birthday. We have both visited places in Los Angeles as well as Vancouver, Canada and this place is 2nd to none! A must check out! We will be back David and the crew! Cheers Aaryan and Nadya“

“Amazing dining experience. Worth the price“

“The food here is absolutely delicious and the staff is so friendly and accommodating. I can't recommend this little gem in the Lakeside neighborhood enough. Reasonable prices as well as many menu choices. Do yourself a favor and go there and sample everything, you will be very glad you did.“

“Cozy place for breakfast in town. Good foods mixture between American and Thai highly recommend friendly service .“
