It all started in 1992, when Annette and Gerner Andresen opened the Lighthouse Café in Sausalito in its present form. The Andresens, both born in Denmark, had recently immigrated to the U.S., and along with them they brought the Scandinavian flair for simplicity, good quality and tasty food. The café has over the years become famous for its breakfast and lunch, with American classics like good old-fashioned burgers and a great selection of omelets, along with Scandinavian classics like Danish Meatballs or Norwegian Salmon. Now with four restaurants, The Bar & Grill offers Brunch Lunch & Dinner.

    We had a wonderful waiter!!! He just made the whole experience so enjoyable. That feeling actually started st the front when we checked in. As always, Perry’s looked festive and beautiful. I took my 6 year old granddaughter and the crayons and coloring menu were a big hit.

    We were made to feel welcome the moment we walked in. The staff is friendly. The interior was so Christmasy with a fire going in the fireplace and a magnificent tree that smelled heavenly. We had appetizers, cocktails and entrees that were all tasty. Entrees were served nice and hot. We were not rushed at all. Highly recommend. We have been going there for years and have never been disappointed.

    We are Piatti regulars. After suffering through major attitudinal service for brunch at Farmhouse over the weekend, it was so refreshing to have real, friendly and competent service at Piatti. Everyone is on the same team, smiles and pays attention. Simple principles of hospitality! And it feels warm and genuine. Not imposed. Comfort Italian dinner with friends. Loved the montepulciano by the glass paired with the chicken puttanesca. Warm and fuzzy on a wet rainy night. Keep it up!
