Sausalito Restaurants

We got the reservation I requested. I'm really grateful. Ambiance is legendary. Food is okay but the Espresso Martini was great. I think we both had a lovely time. . . ^^,

Perfect place to eat lunch after getting off a long flight! It was difficult to make a decision on what to order because everything looked delicious and it was! They even had gluten free options. Definitely will go back.

I’ve been going to Sushi Ran for 34 years. The business was established 38 years ago. How lucky I was to get to come with this restaurant back in those days. It’s only improved greatly and greater, Yoshi has done a fabulous job creating a superb sushi restaurant. There are other items on the menu if you don’t eat fish. Dan hesitate to go, best to make reservations. It is very popular and hard to get seated after 6:30 PM without reservations .

I haven’t lunched at Poggio for more than four years, and I loved it then…and even more now! On this very hot day in October, the restaurant along the Sausalito waterfront was cool and inviting. Our waiter Carlo was funny and attentive and knowledgeable . I and my lunch companion are both estimable home chefs, and my friend Jane declared this was the best meal she had had in months! She started with the corn timbale (sformatino?) which is like a flan custard baked in a ramekin, I tried a bite and it was exceptional. We are both going to try to make it at home. I had the chicken liver mousse on crostini, decorated with pistachio nuts, marinated red onions and plum slices…absolutely fabulous. The duck leg confit salad Jane had was beautifully done and tasty, and my pappardelle with duck and beef ragu was scrumptious. No room for dessert although the menu looked good. Going to go back more often.

A friend recommended Osteria Divino, after she'd had dinner there when the Ken Cook trio played. So we went for the music (our night was Ken Cook, soloing on piano), and luckily we found parking right across the street from the restaurant, only a block away from the Bay. We were taken to one of the tables in their back room, but I asked if we could be closer to the piano, and we ended up sitting at a table for two right by the entrance, which was fine with us (although someone more sensitive to outside temperatures might not have liked it; ours was a brisk fall evening). It felt a little cramped, but I managed to momentarily overcome my introversion to chat with the lady seated next to us, who was most pleasant. Almost all the patrons were actively listening to the music. The authentically Italian food arrived quickly, and was beautifully prepared and delicious. The staff were super friendly and accommodating. The walls are bedecked with large paintings by a local artist. The seating at the bar was full, so that the overall atmosphere felt cozy, cheerful, and appreciative. We will definitely return.
