    Without going into a huge moan about this place I'll just say that it isn't somewhere we will be going back to. It just isn't our vibe on so many levels. But clearly it is busy and popular - perhaps because of the location.

    Sat outside with awesome views of SF while dining on delicious food and drinks. Highly recommend this place to anyone in Sausalito. Only thing we missed terribly on this visit is their Linguine Clams dish. It was absolutely the best I have ever had! I don’t know why they discontinued it. The waiter told us we weren’t the first patrons to ask about it too!

    I wonder if any of the waterfront restaurants are truly great dining experiences or are you simply paying for the view? We chose this one as it had the best reviews. Our initial wait person was apparently "cut" after pouring our water and no one appeared to take care of us. So, we asked the waitperson attending a nearby table and he promptly came back and said he would take care of us. His name was Brendan (I think) and he was extremely personable and attentive. We had oysters to start and the local ones were clearly the best. I had the halibut, which was totally unremarkable, especially for the price. The potatoes had an odd flavor, which did not taste like truffle oil. My husband had two starters and the tacos were awfully small. The dungeness crab cakes were good. We paid for and enjoyed the view. Maybe best to have a hamburger there?

    Enjoyed by all of us , ages 16 -68! The artichoke Fundido starter is worthy of special mention.

    Great spot for easy and delicious lunch. Attentive service start and finish. Good to the kids. Big portions and great view. Nice spot for wandering around the local gift and speciality shops afterwards.

    Excellent food and drinks. Service was good but for an establishment such as this I expected more high end service. Still amazing views and would highly recommend.

    We are big fans! This is my third time here. The two other times we sat inside and this time we sat outside. We loved it! Food and service are always impeccable. We will definitely be back again. And again and again.
