If you don't want to wait for a table on the 'linen cloth' side, seat yourself at a table in the bar side. They serve food too.

Meander around Sausalito, viewing SF Bay, sailboats, houseboats. Dine early to enjoy the panoramic views. Delicious food... Petrale Sole Dore, an old time favorite.

Great view of the bay and Sausalito, but only worth it if you enjoy 70s soft rock, carpet that looks as though a dog has been running circles on it for years and paying for every soft drink refill.

A Restaurant with view of the bay, San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz. I love it here.

Good place to take your grandmother.. SHE would fit in. Crab cakes must be puréed so the normal clientele can eat them without it disrupting their dentures.
Nick PinoMay 15, 2017
Excellent view of the bay - but it's a bit on the pricey side. Clam chowder is good but not great. Come here for appetizers and drinks.

Fish and Chips was amazing. The tiramisu was also crazy good.
Hai LiDecember 5, 2016
The photos ok Foursquare don't do justice to this place. Come here on a sunny day and the view is amazing

A dinner house on the water with a great view of the bay. Take your Mom, it's nice, but not romantic enough for a date
Amy BFebruary 8, 2016
View is amazing but all inside. Old school decor but charming.

Brunch is excellent. Eggs Benedict on top of real crab cakes. Favorite for years.

Seafood and phenomanal viees of San Francisco

Great views. Can't be beat! Really nice ambience
Jessie SmithJuly 16, 2013
The decor takes you back to the 80's. The only restaurant in America that doesn't have free refills.
Gareth ThomasJuly 15, 2017
Best views of the bay worst service of the bay.
Tim BradshawOctober 24, 2012
$5 beers with an amazing view across the bay? Sure.

"Pesto" here means cream sauce with basil flecks in it.

Like a trip back in time to a land of Crab Louis and deep pile carpet.

My 98-year-old mother-in-law's restaurant ... Dishes straight out of long ago. Good food...

Get the grilled sea bass, it's delicious.

Order Basil & Kaffir Lime Giblet martini - very nice and smooth - reminds me of limeade punch.

The valet is a Dodge guy!
Joanne FraserOctober 19, 2012
Wow-Caesar Salad made at our table--Classic!
Dan HortonOctober 27, 2013
Poor quality and service. Based on the other restaurants in the area this is more like a diner. I would not recommend this to anyone looking for a nice meal for the price.
Jason M.April 7, 2012
Sit at the bar and enjoy the view. Food is just OK. I would save the calories for elsewhere.
