Terrible Experience — Avoid This Place at all cost! I recently went to Seahorse in Sausalito after dinner for their salsa night (5–9 pm), expecting a fun night out. Instead, it turned into one of the most uncomfortable and disrespectful experiences I’ve had at a restaurant/bar. We were seated without being told that we had to order food in order to keep the table. When we asked if we could instead order bottles of wine or drinks, we were flat-out refused. Fine — we relocated to the bar to avoid any issues. But it somehow got worse. Once at the bar, the waitress was extremely rude and demanded that we pay our tab immediately, with no explanation and an incredibly condescending attitude. When we tried to clarify the situation, she brought over the “owner,” who was even more aggressive and unprofessional. He wouldn’t let me speak at all and actually yelled, “Continue yapping and you will get kicked out,” in front of everyone. It was humiliating. This was clearly a misunderstanding that could have been resolved calmly, but instead of de-escalating, he chose to yell, embarrass me publicly, and make the situation hostile. To top it off, my personal belongings were thrown away while I wasn’t looking. Completely unacceptable behavior from both staff and management. If you value basic respect and professionalism, run away from this place. I will never return.

Calamari was delicious. Music was so fine and the Cabernet was really good and reasonably priced.

What a gem of a place in lovely Sausalito, just off the Clipper Yatch Harbor!
They have two outdoor patios for those who want to soak up the vitamin D while they sip on their vino, primarily vinters from Italian or California wineries are on their list. Which do not disappoint.
I enjoyed a bit of nosh from the short, but not disappointing happy hour menu (as of 9/25/25, only available at the bar or dining room). A glass of Montepulciano, Roccio Forte, boh were what I didn't know I needed on a lovely afternoon.
The staff while attentive is not overpowering. They also keep on the music which is appreciated. In addition, on Sundays they offer dancing lessons. Makes me wish I were living closer. Come here, make your way up a bit further folks from all the shops and busy restaurants to some authentic Italian with local sourced seafood, I hope you will be as pleased as I.

This is my favorite restaurant in Sausalito, I always try and stop by when im in the area. If you come here id highly suggest getting seafood because its always excellent and fairly priced. Cool mom and pop bay area unique restaurant staff is very friendly and attentive.
Sausalito Seahorse is a vey viby place to strut your salsa moves and often with a live band! The bands that sometimes play tend to have salsa dura and classics which is also great. Plenty of parking and next to the water as Caribbean music should be!

Very friendly staff:) We got fettuccine (very good), seafood risotto, and margarita pizza. Overall good is good. Only downside was the live music being a bit too loud for us.

Charming little place with friendly welcoming service right by the marina.

This place is decadent with insects flying all over the room. The chef picks from the food he is cooking with his bare hands. There were no more patrons besides us three when a table of 4 advanced senior citizens left the restaurant after eating. Potential patrons would come in and get out immediately after seeing the decadent state of the premises and the staff that hardly speak English. It is a pricey restaurant, which is mind boggling due to the restaurant presentation, handling and poor quality of food. TERRIBLE! I feel sick that I ate there. NEVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE! I prefer to starve than to eat there.
Terrible service
