Restaurants in Sausalito

“Hidden gem of Sausalito! It’s a small scale restaurant where the chef if cooking in front of you simply amazing Michelin-3-star-level food. Don’t come here just for caviar that you can simply buy at a store. Come for the chef’s amazing cooking!”

“Muy recomendado para cualquier ocasión y la atención es excelente !”

“Everything. Best of everything.”

“On a tour from San Francisco (shout-out Dylan's Tours!), we had an hour and a half for lunch in Sausalito. We walked over to grab Poke from Gilligans and were NOT disappointed! Got the Spicy Ahi on brown rice, and it was amazing. Rice was tender, fish was fresh, not too spicy. Grabbed drinks from the attached store and walked over to a local park (suggested to us at Gilligans) and had a beautiful lunch. Do not sleep on this spot!”

“I’m a local, late to discover this storied place. I have had the best times here! Great live music and good strong drinks. Everyone is friendly and it’s so much fun. Love to dance and talk with everyone. Highly recommend. You will not be disappointed.”

“Visiting from England and fancied a curry. The curry did not disappoint. Good food, friendly staff and good service. Next time I visit San Francisco I’ll definitely eat there again.”

“Not just convenient but a must visit. The sandwiches have been great for years and years. I just stopped in for excedrin extra strength (which they had stocked) thank god—I decided to also grab the all American sandwich, it was divine. Everything top quality. The service was beautiful, very welcoming and helpful. Really like this place!”

“Went here literally 7 years ago (2019) and still think about it (I am from the midwest). Hands down the best burger I have ever had. 100/10 recommend, plus you get to watch the grilling burgers rotate in a window which is fun.”

“I have been going to The Lighthouse for many years, whenever I am in The San Francisco Area :) Absolutely fabulous breakfast with a wonderful staff ! Can't wait to be there again :)”

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

“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.”

“I had the most delicious cardamom rose oatmilk latte! What a treat!”

“Had just arrived in San Francisco, and hit the road heading to Sonoma for a wedding this weekend. Looking for a place to have lunch and we found Avatars on line. So, we decided to try it, and we are glad we did. Our meals were cooked fresh to order and they were delicious! Friendly staff and a place we will fondly remember and look forward to trying again on our next trip out here!!”

“The restaurant is lovely, it feels like a small small trataria Italy. The service was perfect, very conscious of the customer's needs. The burrata salad was delicious as was the pizza. The pizzas are cooked, as one would expect in a wood fired stove and are absolutely the best in every way. I want to go back and go through the menu and eat every thing.”

“I loved the cornflake French toast. I make French toast on my homemade bread most every weekend, and this was unique with great crunch, tender on the inside, and perfectly done. The hash browns were fresh, hot, and delightful.”

“So incredibly pleased with our experience at this restaurant. From the service to the food everything was perfect.
We came in when they were only doing take out, which we said we were more than okay to do, but they insisted to set up a table for us.
We got the Thai iced tea, salad rolls, pot stickers, pho, and egg noodle dish. Each was so incredible, and some of the best of the dishes Ive tried. Portion sizes were massive, a great price for what you get.
Our drinks were refilled as soon as they were close to empty, and we were given any sauce we could’ve needed, the service was so quick.
The staff was so friendly would highly recommend, a hidden gem:)”

“pricey pizza but delicious”

“Great family restaurant. We come here in the early evening with our 2 young kids. The kids love the fish tanks. The service is fantastic and the food comes out quickly. We love this place!”

“Fantastic standard Hawaiian fare. The chicken katsu was fried to perfection - crispy breading on the outside, and tender and juicy on the inside. The chicken teriyaki was solid as well. The macaroni salad was solid.

Everything here was well-prepared and priced reasonably.

Service was helpful and kind.

If you're hankering for some Hawaiian food in the North Bay, this is your place!”

“Having grown up in the area this is hands down one of my favorite spots! The couple that owns and runs the deli are always lovely, and the homemade food and sandwiches speak for themselves. Also, solid drink and snack selection with a super pretty patio out back!”

“Lovely food and wonderful, friendly service!”

“Lovely service; easy to find table; tasty food and juices and nice clean amenities. Would recommend and would go back if we were in the area. Also next to the floating houses in Sausalito - nice area and ambience.”

“The cucumber, hummus, avocado, tomato sandwich is exceptional. Beautiful view of the water from outdoor dining tables.”

“We heard so much about this place, we came over from San Francisco specifically to try it out! What a perfect spot to have a taste of some amazing wines and an array of incredible cheeses and crackers. You walk inside and it’s a little shop with a bar counter on the right. You order what you like and sit outside and enjoy the beautiful view!! I am so looking forward to coming back on my next visit. Make it a point to stop in, you won’t be disappointed!!”

“We did not end up getting a cake from Revelry due to the small size of our party, but we’re very touched with Kirsten’s recommendation of other local businesses that would fit our needs. This is the kind of rare customer service that I appreciate, and that is a definite indicator of the quality and professionalism I would have gotten.”

“Loved the Bump Bar. Had an early Valentine's Day and Late Anniversary dinner in Feb 11. Enjoyed sitting at the end of the bar. Hosts and chef were friendly and inviting. Enjoyed learning about the Japanese grill used on the trout and steak dishes (which were delicious) never had potatoes prepared like the potato dish we had that night. Really enjoyed the California Caviar Company house flight of Caviar. We will go back again in the future. Thank you for a great night.”

“Bartenders had it rough with our group. And then some of our group got overpoured and dropped a drink on the floor. They were gentle and quick to clean around, and patient despite our rubbish behavior.”

“Food is delicious. fast service. Beautiful area❤️”

“Delicious food and wonderful ambiance. Loved by locals and tourists!”

“the ambience and great cuppachino”

“Great dinning experience Must try”

“Ice cream is great! Servers are really rude and yell at the customers though. If I came here for ice cream after a long day, their attitudes would send me over the edge. Instead of yelling “NEXT!” They could probably say “I could help you over here!” with a smile and a wave.”

“Stopped there for lunch and it was delicious. Lasagna and Cioppino was delicious 😁”

“Very good..................”

“Enjoyable outside setting; I have enjoyed the food and mocha. 🙂”

“We had dinner on Saturday night, restaurant was not crowded however we understand that the staff was dealing with take out orders. Service was very slow for our order which seemed pretty straightforward: a soup and padthai. Other guests were served more quickly; people at the next table ordered just before we did, got their food, ate and left beforewe got our food?!? On another note, we were not able to dine on the terrasse since it was a bit chilly and there is only one heater that is broken. Buying more heaters should be made a priority. This said, the food was delicious and tasted very fresh. We all loved it. So highly recommend for the food and maybe ordering as take out, only!”

“It’s the most authentic, European restaurant in Marin. The food is excellent and live music outstanding!”

“The food is great and friendly service! It’s my go to place whenever I’m in Sausalito..”

“The pizza here was very good. It was nicely sized and had great flavor. A full pizza costs about $18.50 and a slice costs about $6.50. The service was very good and the workers were very nice. It took a little while to get our food but it was worth it. The outside seating had a beautiful view of the bay. We even got our water in a bottle! If you are around the area, I would recommend trying this place.”

“Fantastic ice cream! We had the Kauai Pie, which is Kona Coffee, Chocolate Fudge, Macadamia Nuts and Chunks of coconut. Extremely yummy! A scoop as of June 2024 is $6, and it’s pretty large.

The sitting is by a busy road so not the most romantic.”

“I don’t have a lot to say about this place. But if you gotten lost trying to find the house boats in Sausalito and lucky enough to have stopped in here and purchased a sandwich being made in front of you. You’re very lucky there’s a plethora of handmade sandwiches to choose from, my favorite is the grandma when I walk, and I scream it out and scare the hell help. For which I am truly not sorry :-) great sandwiches give it a try.”

“Everything was AMAZING. I'm not sure why this place only has 4.4 stars (at the time of writing this), but from the atmosphere to the food and the staff, you can't go wrong.

Every flavor is matched beautifully, and the portions were light yet full of flavor. I'd highly recommend going yourself or with a group of friends!

*Note, this place was recommended by a French friend 😋”

“The vibes here are quite amazing. Amazing decor inside and the ability to sit outside. The food is a little pricey and nothing extravagant for what you are paying. The staff is really nice as well.”

“I’ve been wanting to come try a sandwich for 2 years, I originally found out about Davey Jones through a local eats tv show. I ordered the AB with the works and it was so good, definitely will be back 🔥🔥🔥”

“Delicious lunch!! Fresh, cold oysters, French onion soup excellent ( needs a slice of french bread on side for us non-french crowd😀), and steak and frites were extra yummy!”

“Our family thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at Barrel House Tavern, celebrating my son's birthday. The food and drinks were exceptional, the view from our table window was beautiful and the ambience warm and comfortable. What impressed me the most was the support shown by the maître d to his staff. The restaurant was busy but the service did not suffer. The maître d greeted customers, took drink and appetizer orders and checked in to ensure everyone was happy. We already look forward to a return visit.”

“Best Indian food I’ve eaten in many years!!”

“If you have a sweet tooth, you have to visit this place-they’ve got a great collection of chocolate, ice cream and beautifully displayed products. As an aesthetic, I really loved it.”

“Visiting from Adelaide Australia best Mexican we have had. Great service.”

“The food is amazing! Mauro Dosolini and his staff are the best!”

“Yesterday, my sister and I had the BEST table at the Iconic Spinnaker Seafood Restaurant in Sausalito - the at table at the far corner facing San Francisco! WOW - What a beautiful and clear day, with just a 'hint' of fog over the Golden Gate Bridge to the ocean side. The food was Fabulous - mine was a 'classic' "Crab Louie," with lots and lots of wonderful crab, and Tiramisu for dessert! Our servers were Alex and Francisco ("Francisco:))" who attended to our every need - even politely and notably giving extra time, as I was Determined to enjoy EVERY bite of my more than delicious, Crab Louie!! With a menu that is FULL of Classic Bay Area Seafood offerings, an Iconic setting and ambiance, and Incredible view of San Francisco Bay, Golden Gate Bridge and The City, I would change nothing about my visit! Thank You Spinnaker for a More Than Memorable Bay Area Experience!!”

“Great atmosphere, nice servers, amazing view, can bring your pup to the outdoor seating area!”
