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

“How many restaurants in the Bay Area have an average rating of five on Google? This is the most understated and absolutely best restaurant in Marin. Why? What matters to me is the combination of unique and innovative food, service, and atmosphere. You can get one or two of these many aces, it's hard to find all three. Add to that that you get to sit at the counter and watch the chef prepare all your meals. And that there's only room for ten people every night. Chef Lance and Yo explain everything and the time just flies when there. We made the mistake of not ordering the caviar sampler. But when I saw how it was served to another guest, I knew I had to have it next time. You will not be disappointed.“

“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!!“

“If you're in and around Sausalito and want some pretty good Chinese (not the absolute best but good enough), then check this place out. Does get busy at times, but nice for lunch. Food portions are decent, and the staff is super friendly!“

We had the raw oysters on half shells our favorite was the satori, followed by hogisland highwater, sunset then the golden nugget. We had to try the clam chowder and it did not disappoint. The fish and chips was absolutely delicious as well. Highly recommend and plan to return next time we visit.“

“My fiancé and I found your restaurant Saturday afternoon while sightseeing the city. We were so impressed with the atmosphere and hospitality. This place is the best for nice afternoon seafood lunch! Thank you so much for the delicious meal.“

“Luke’s Lobster is the best! We discovered it on the East Coast and like it so much that every time we come to San Francisco, we make a special trip. Johnny was behind the counter today - courteous, professional, and friendly. Such fast service and such tasty food. We get the select lobster and seafood trio every time we come and are never disappointed. They even throw in a bag of chips and soft drink, and a dill pickle spear.“

“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!“

“The food was outstanding! We however went for our anniversary meal, and were wisked in and out in 50 minutes! Plates were wisked away seconds after they came, we literally twice had the food in our hands mid-bite when plates were taken away, some with food still in them. We tried to slow it down and keep food in the plates so we could talk, but as soon as we lifted a piece, whish- gone and another plate in its place. Turning over tables overtly or bad timing, I'm not sure.“

“What a great place, a hidden jewel in the city! Fresh fish, fresh chips and guacamole… Everything was perfect! DELICIOUS❣️ We will return…“

“This a place to visit,great food and service“

“Anchor Oyster Bar is worth the wait. Be prepared though, the line can be quite long, especially during lunch and on weekends, since it’s a small restaurant and they don’t have many tables.

I ordered the 12 oysters on the half shell, and they were very fresh, clean tasting, and served ice cold.

The Boston clam chowder was excellent, thick, creamy, and loaded with clams without being overly salty. It’s a must-order.

Service was friendly and efficient once seated.“

“I ate here alone for my Birthday and had an amazing experience. Excellent service, recommendations and I was given a table with a view of the bridge. I loved the milk bread and ceviche! It was very busy during Happy Hour but I came for dinner. I will be back for the impressive service.“

“Excelente servicio , quedé encantada 😍“

“Good service, delicious food, nice atmosphere, nothing to complain about“

“Lovely Peking Duck experience, highly recommend. Visited with a group of 6 to celebrate a birthday and it was a great choice. Each dish was well presented, rich in flavours and felt very fresh. I was pleasantly surprised about their XLB too!“

“Great bartender! Right on SF Bay.“

“The food was absolutely amazing ❤️😎💯💯💯“

“everything about the restaurant, from the heated outdoor dining, people who work there, the food so deliciously great especially the one that prepares and cook it, THE CHEFS, amazingly incredible they are and not so pricey above all.“

“Hands down our favorite go-to restaurant when we are in the city going out to dinner, or when we are looking to take out-of-towners someplace truly unique, or when we are looking to bring the most delicious dinner home. The seafood is as fresh and high quality as it gets, served in the most unique way. Start with the chowder, packed with a wide variety of shellfish, spiced just right with a little kick to it, neither New England nor Manhattan, they have invented a new broth that is both rich and flavorful while being light. The Scallops are a must try. They simply melt in your mouth with a burst of complex flavors. The small plate tostadas meld flavors and textures you just can’t find anywhere else. Although it is located on Divisadero in a multi-block long string of restaurants, the atmosphere inside has the feel of the most comfortable neighborhood bistro. Impecable service all at a very reasonable price for the quality and the creativity and joy the food will bring to your palate.“

“What a great little find! It was great food. When I asked for a suggestion on wine; our waiter was so nice and asked me a few questions as to what I liked and gave me a great Pinot I loved! No judgements on my lack of familiarity with wines. The squid ink sauce was incredible!!!!“

“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. ☹“

“A charming true SF institution that feels like ur in center of culture and history! The authentic jazz music really makes the experience, where you’re right in the best seats anywhere u sit. U really feel the way sf was bustling with artistry and interesting conversations happening around u with this ambiance. The food didn’t need to be great with the music and environment being so special, yet the meal was so delicious! The clam chowder is one of the best in the city, the prawns with horseradish will make u come back, then the steak is better than the really pricey steak houses! Then, service to top it off was so attentive and fast!

Honestly one of the best all around dinners in so many ways! Gonna come back as a local and bringing everyone!!!“

“What a perfect end to a busy day! The food was delicious, the portions were just right, and the wait staff was very friendly! I will definitely be back.😋“

“Haven’t been in years and boy howdy! It’s upgraded and then some. It’s not as divey as it used to be, but what’s here now is pretty cool! More places to hang (upstairs and down) with more views. The menu is expanded but still simple, good cocktails. The food has definitely improved a couple of levels and the prices are great for what you get. Awesome, friendly staff that wants you to have a great time!“

“Watermelon 🍉 Roll; no rice, refreshingly good Fried seafood chips appetizer; I wanted it as a meal it’s a different yum 😋 Ice cream sandwich wow!“

“Always a hit! You are welcomed like family!“

“Wow 10/10 amazing food and drinks! If we could’ve tried everything on the menu we would have.
Not pictured - the martinis! Great pairing for the seafood we ordered.

We started with the oysters which were fresh and shucked perfectly. No shells, so clean.

Then we ordered the bread and butter - thick slices toasted just right with butter and flaky salt. Truly everything you wish for out of a bread and butter scenario and the snack you need after walking around the city all day.

Then the 3 best dishes we’ve have in SF:

Mussel Conserva Toast - I could’ve eaten 4 of these it was that good. Personally my favorite plate of the night. Mussels were smokey and the fennel provided a light balance. Get this if you go here! Sleeper hit

Beef Tartare - the execution on this was 10/10. Flavors were so balanced, it is exactly what you want when eating a tartare. I will dream of this. And the homemade chips with it!! No notes

Steak & Fries - the only way to describe this was exquisite. So flavorful, so tender…one of those plates that looks unassuming but your eyes go wide at the first bite. The fries were salted just right and so crispy. Again no notes

Food aside, the service was incredible, everyone who worked there seemed to genuinely enjoy themselves, were attentive, and provided suggestions on the menu. I would be shocked if this place doesn’t blow up. It’s a hidden gem (for now)“

“My friends and I just spotted your restaurant after being at a movie on Chestnut st. We just wanted a light bite to eat, we chose the Red Lentil soup fantastic. The Spanikopita excellent and a Bean dish all e with delicious Pita and red Huumus?. We will return.Thank you.!“

“We started with the Chips & Dip as a small appetizer. The chips were crunchy and flavorful, and the sour cream was fluffy and not too heavy.

Next, we ordered oysters and the tuna melt. The oysters were so fresh and delicious that we ended up ordering another dozen. The tuna melt was also really good, served on a sourdough roll that made it quite easy to eat.

The service was excellent, the server was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit.

Overall, we were really satisfied with everything. We were just looking for a few small bites before dinner.“

“A wonderful restraunt operated by a James Beard Award winning chef and a great waiting staff.
The food was incredible and even made chicken nuggets a gourmet dish with amazing flavor and plating.
The crown jewel of our experience was our waiter Brian, a 20-year veteran, who knew everything about the area, the menu, and anything you could think to ask him. Would highly recommend.“

“We had shrimp cocktail, French onion soup, wedge salad, 20 oz ribeye with a baked potato, and a banoffee tart for dessert. We split each course and the waitstaff had the chef plate it all separately for us which made sharing easier.“
