    Clam chowder was good. Salmon and white fish in the Mixed seafood grill entree were both overcooked and dry. Free parking was a big plus - give tip for nice valet person.

    This classic restaurant never fails. We come often and have never been disappointed. The service is outstanding and the food is delicious. The seafood is fresh and the prices are reasonable. The views are incomparable. In the day where restaurants come and go, it is so nice to know that this legendary restaurant continues on. And we will go again soon. A+

    This is our go-to celebratory birthday lunch spot for my gal friends of 55+ years for many years now. Our Cesar Salads with Bay Shrimp were just so so. The shrimp had no taste and the dressing was a sheer disappointment. I make better dressing. One of my gals Petrale was also tasteless and was not ordered as Piccata style as requested. Truly a disappointing experience. We were all shocked. The only consolation was that the service Maya provided was excellent!

    beautiful "old school" restaurant with a glamorous bar. The servers were polite and friendly, our cocktails delicious and food very good. It's a very large restaurant and the only oddity is that the staging area for dishes, flatware, napkins, etc. is a line of tables along the back of the actula restaurant which is really not an attractive way to enter.

    Beautiful view, average food. Mac and cheese with lobster has a little bit on the side, one of us got heartburn from the fried seafood dish, and the pasta dish was really saucy. That said, the view is outstanding. Why can’t we have both?

    Service is bad started off from the parking lot. The valet wants my car and charged me. I told him I don't need his parking service. It's our late lunch after hiking in Marin Headlands. Plenty of parking spaces at the lot next to the restaurant. Even their Latino workers parked there. I was asked to move my car to other lot farther down, and indicated that the lot here is under his service only. We found that pretty ridiculous. The food is low quality and not fresh. Waiters were not professional. Putting a used butter tray I to the bread basket to make room for dishes. Bread and butter were low quality. $20 crab cakes were tiny with little crab meats. NY steak cooked I medium show the meat was not fresh. Grill assorted seafood is in a skewer and all not fresh ingredients. I don't know how this place even gotten 4 stars. Won't come back or go near here in Sausalito.

    Our server was very nice, professional, and attentive! The only issue I had was when my girlfriend and I were trying to taste wine to see what bottle we wanted with our cuisine, the bartender made an unwarranted comment about us “ already sent for 1 set of wine glasses” something to that nature, insinuating she didn’t want to be bothered with my party. We are deciding whats the best wine that pairs best with our culinary, we are not there to entertain the bartender or make her comfortable, it should be the other way around. She needs to keep her personal thoughts to herself.
