New American Restaurants near Sausalito, CA

“The outdoor setting looking across the vast lawn to the Golden Gate Bridge is just fantastic. It is a new name and new menu since we last dined at Cavallo Point and we very much enjoyed our main courses, the salmon and the sole. The roasted pear salad was delicious but short on pear. We skipped a starter as none sounded appealing to us, maybe we are too traditional and they were great, probably our loss.“

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

“This is our “go to” place in Sausalito for my wife and I so we decided to take our visitors from Canada here. Everything was going well until my order, the bone in veal chop special, arrived more than 5 minutes later than everyone else's main course. The issue is that when my order arrived, there was a barely an apology or any offers to adjust our bill. Sad.“

“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.“

“We absolutely loved our dinner at Liholiho Yacht Club — everything from the vibe to the flavors was on point. We started with a couple of appetizers that set the tone right away: bold, fresh, and packed with unique flavor combinations. The pork ribs were a total standout — perfectly tender with just the right balance of sweet and savory, and the fried rice that came with them was rich, flavorful, and satisfying on its own.
But the real star of the night was dessert — the Baked Hawaii. Not only was it beautifully presented, but it was also hands down one of the best desserts we’ve ever had. A creative twist on a classic, and the perfect ending to a fantastic meal.
Service was friendly and attentive, and the whole experience felt fun, vibrant, and effortlessly cool. We’ll absolutely be coming back next time we’re in SF! Highly recommend this spot — a true gem.“

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

“Thoroughly enjoyed our anniversary lunch. Food was excellent and easy to share. Very knowledgeable sommelier(s). Service was "leisurely", but attentive and very friendly. The room has a great, old-world-meets-modern vibe. Get the lobster benedict! It's worth the extra $.“

“The Morris , let me try to capture all the good things that are going on here. So we gave this place a try on a Thursday evening and it's certainly surprising how busy this little place is. The place is rather narrow and the ceiling is rather low. Congratulations to the decorator for making the place feel inviting and warm. I love the open kitchen at the entrance, it gives you a good glance at the various dishes and your nostrils will be on high alert absorbing the various smells.
The staff is super attentive friendly and has a fantastic memory as they remember which guest ordered which wine and brought the correct bottle for refill without having to ask.

The food. we really enjoyed the appetizers. The pork cracklings were yummy and rather light great for sharing and best with a cocktail.
For me the best dish was the brocolini with squid. The combo of the charred, the lime juice ...out of this world.

For the main we tried 1/2 of the smoked duck. Now let me tell you it's good but.. it's so rich in smoked flavor that after a few bites I was completely with the flavors and we had a hard time finishing the serving. My recommendation 1/2 a duck for 4 would be the right serving size otherwise your taste buds will go on strike

Great experience overall definitely worth a follow up visit.“

“Loved the decor and the vibe，great place to hang out with friends.The food was absolutely delicious! The flavors were spot on.If you're in the area, this place is a must-try!“

“The pork chops are above world-class!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I'll be back.“

“Fantastic food - reasonably priced and great service! Tasha was amazing!“

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

“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.“

“The food was very enjoyable, and the service was great. The table was clean, and the silverware and food presentation were excellent. However, I thought the orange juice was served in a very small portion. It was delicious, but the glass looked like a shot glass, lol. Another thing was that the person clearing the plates kept coming over to take the empty ones even though we hadn’t finished yet. They were very attentive and all, but we felt like they were rushing us out of the place, lol.“

“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.“

“Amazing food 🥘 and great atmosphere“

“Best dining experience I’ve had since I moved here. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. My new favorite restaurant 💚💚💚“

“Wow!! They SO deserve their 3 Michelin starts! The food was off the charts and so was the service. Sinead noticed I was left handed and switched everything to make it easier for me. I have NEVER experienced this before and I’ve been to many Michelin started restaurants. The sommelier was amazing - we had two bottles, a Sancerre and a Chablis, and they were both absolutely wonderful. The birthday cake was PHENOMENAL. I’m thankful to their amazing staff for making this a wonderful celebration. Thank you!!!! I personally LOVE the minimalistic decor. The music was perfect as well. Why go gaudy when you can be absolutely beautiful?!?! I’m so in favor of their decor. And heated toilet seats?! Love it!“

“Amazing food and services🥰

The dishes are not only tasty, unique, but also consistent in menu design. Floral taste is hidden somewhere in every plates.

I also ordered the non-alcoholic pairing, which I enjoyed a lot.“

“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!“

“Key Klub is a bit tucked away, but absolutely worth the short walk or taxi—especially if you’re after a lively, good-vibes-only kind of night. It’s part of the same crew behind Bodega in North Beach (also great), but this spot leans a little rowdier—in the best way.

Expect a cool, chatty, very San Francisco crowd where everyone somehow looks like they’ve walked out of a magazine shoot.

Mostly wine and beer on offer, plus some top-notch nibbles. Staff are fun, prices are decent, and the whole place just hums with great energy. Strongly recommended for a buzzy evening out.“

“tasting menu was amazing. service was top notch.“

“awesome food , great service definitely recommended“

“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.“

“Fantastic food and a great menu with something for every foodie“

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

“Big love from Korea! the food was fantastic, and the service was friendly and warm

Although we were foreigners, there was nothing difficult enjoying the course.

The dishes were very creative. Flavor of the ingredients was harmonious, recipe was very creative.

Thanks a lot for the fantastic dinner!“

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

“A lovely bar with great brunch options and kind staff. Theres even a nice tra selection. I liked the biscuits and gravy, but found my side of fried chicken to be dry. I'll definitely go back for something else though!

Wheelchair accessibility: There are no steps nor ramps to contend with. I recall that doors are normal width and manually operated.“

“Amazing dining experience. Worth the price“

“I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant. I am a business owner a few doors down and I wandered in with a friend after work one night about a month ago. We were met with such incredible warmth from the staff and the environment itself, even without a reservation. We sat at the bar and were greeted by Josh, only to find out later that he is the owner. He made excellent recommendations on everything from our drinks to dessert. The bar didn’t feel isolated from the rest of the restaurant and guests, but rather was lively hub frequented by kitchen and serving staff and warmed by a smoldering wood fire. The coziest. We swooned for the poke appetizer, complete with house-made toasted, but not crisp, blue corn tortillas. The pork shoulder tacos—also to die for. I have to say though, that the star on the sidelines was the beans. I honestly didn’t know I could feel this way about beans…but I digress. Josh bounced around from table to table all night, never letting a single ball drop, making every guest feel like *his* guest. A pot de crème sealed the evening in perfect bliss. I’m back a month later with the same friend, eating different and somehow even more incredible entrees: ribeye, halibut and a rhubarb crisp for dessert. I scarcely ever take the time to write a review as I prefer to vote with my $ and my feet, but I simply couldn’t eat here again without taking the time to sing it’s praises. Eat here.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing food and service“

“Great addition to our neighborhood. A step above most restaurants here in atmosphere, vibe, food, and service. Duzgun the manager provides attention to detail, and Berry provides excellent service with a genuine smile every time we visit. Recommended!“

“My Wife and I had an incredible experience here last night. The table was intimate and private. The service was attentive and caring. John the Chef and server was incredibly knowledgeable and made us feel at home. We enjoyed every moment. Thank you again! We will be back soon.“

“Amazing food and service. Love this place!“

“This was my first time on the new covered patio. It's as wonderful as I thought it was going to be. I'm now looking forward to being there during different kinds of weather to enjoy all of the things that can be done with it. When you add the great food and perfect view you just can't go wrong. Right now they have fried green tomatoes back on the menu and they're better than ever. I already look forward to my next visit.“

“Great food and ambience here!“
