    A very nice green  salad
    Deon S.

    A first time for this restaurant, let's see how it went: Parking is great The inside is modestly lit , which works well with the atmosphere that they are trying to create; coinciding with the outside seating views as well. The service was ok and friendly, they got the orders correct. The food was good, but could have been a tad bit more flavorful. All in all, a great place to relax and eat.

    The view from our table at Bar Bocce.

    We had a great time dining at Bar Bocce! The view of the water is simply unmatched and we enjoyed our food and cocktails. The service was a little shaky, but overall we greatly enjoyed our evening! Food & Drink: We joined the waitlist when we arrived, and got some drinks while we waited in the bar. We really liked our cocktails, with the Margarita and Aperol Spritz being two highlights. Once seated, we ordered the Shishito Peppers, Pear Pizza, and Olive Pizza. The peppers were nicely cooked and salted, and they paired well with our drinks. The pear pizza was surprisingly delicious with gorgonzola, nuts, and some leaves. The olive pizza was also good with its' greek inspired toppings of feta cheese, olives, and red peppers. For dessert we tried the affogato and Bocce dessert, which were both good. Though my affogato had mostly melted on arrival. Service & Ambiance: The only issue we encountered was the service. Our evening got off to a slightly bumpy start because the waitlist notification was sent to my phone's spam folder, meaning I wasn't notified and we almost missed our opportunity to be seated. For this reason, it would be good if staff could check the bar before removing customers from the waitlist (I told them that we would be waiting in the bar, which is a short distance from the host desk). Another issue was that the pizzas took a long time to come out. Fortunately, management made it up to us by giving us a free salad and free meatballs. This was a classy gesture and definitely helped! (Hopefully this was just a one-off situation). Finally, I was surprised by the amount of kids at this establishment. Considering this is prominently marketed as a bar, there was quite a lot of unruly children running (and climbing) about, which did affect the ambiance somewhat. Management may want to consider whether allowing children is worth it, as they somewhat spoil the lovely waterside ambiance. Overall, we really enjoyed it and would come again!

    Stopped by after a hike and bf the brunch rush on a Sunday morning. Vibe -Sat outside along the water which was nice. Casual seating area and tables available. Fire pits. Kids and dogs welcome. Drinks- full bar and lots of fun cocktails. Good selection of mocktails too. Food- we got chips. Brussels sprouts. Calamari. And artichokes. All were pretty standard appetizers. Service- everyone we interacted with was friendly and helpful.

    Heirloom Tomato, Meatball & Burrata, Pork Sausage, Pesto Chicken.

    TLDR; Pizza was meh, service was meh, super average place. My pizzas (chicken pesto and meatball) was wet and soggy especially in the center. My friends (Heirloom and sausage) had a great experience. The dough may be determined by the toppings you get. As for service we asked for water 3 times before being able to get some. Dude was super nice about it but it was still 30 minutes without it after being asked several times. Just overall a meh experience ‍. Definitely not worth the prices that's for sure

    Zucchini pizza
    Amanda M.

    This might be my favorite pizza spot in the Bay Area to date! I ordered the Zucchini pizza and my boyfriend ordered the Sausage pizza, and we loved both. The crust was slightly crisp on the outside but incredibly fluffy on the inside, and the topping combinations were a good balance of generic and adventurous. I would give the pizza a 5/5, but unfortunately we didn't love the fried artichoke appetizer, nor our wine selections. The artichokes were a little too thick, so despite being fried, they didn't feel crispy, and I felt the artichokes were too bitter to be paired with a lemon aioli. We were also excited to try some local wines, but they lacked flavor / complexity. We did however enjoy sitting outside on the patio and the service was pretty good (our waiter was prompt when we needed but also let us be when we just wanted to hang out for a bit). The space is not overly big though, and it's first come first serve, so I'd recommend getting there early!

    Savoy Spinach Caesar: parmesan crisps ($15)
    Elena N.

    Date: Thursday, May 1st, 2025 Time: 6pm Meal: Dinner *Spicy Prawns: red chili, garlic, lemon ($15) *Savoy Spinach Caesar: parmesan crisps ($15) *Scharffenberger: Brut Sparkling Wine, Mendocino, CA NV ($18 glass) *Cabernet Sauvignon: Sterling, Napa Valley , CA 2022 ($15 glass) I was here for a company dinner. We have a huge table set up outside with a view of the water. Very pretty. Tho I do wish they had shade as I was covering my face with a menu for half the meal. Onec the sun moved tho, it was fine. They also have a really pretty fire pit we were able to use at the end of the night. Food wise, everything was meh. The spicy prawns weren't particularly spicy and kind of sweet. Not really my thing. I figured there would be more heat for a dish with the word spice in the name. The salad was good tho. Very simple which is what I like. Tho at $15, it was pretty small. This is definitely a pre meal salad and a not a main. We had a little happy hour of sorts before we started our meal, so I ordered a glass of champagne / sparkling wine. brut to be specific. Mot sure what they gave me, but I'm gonna assume the one above since it seems the closest to what I said. A pretty place to have drinks and apps. Especially if you can grab a spot by the fire at night. REVIEW #3763

    Tomato Soup of the Day
    Tannu S.

    Quick service, excellent food, and cozy, casual vibes. You can enjoy beautiful bay views with your meal or drinks. There's both indoor seating and outdoor seating in a courtyard with a fire pit, which adds to the cozy atmosphere. Everything we ordered was exceptional--we even reordered the eggplant fingers because my 5-year-old loved them so much. The soup was warm and hearty, and I'd go back just to have that again. The pizza crust was exactly how I like it, and while both pizzas were good, the kale pizza was my favorite.

    Margherita pizza
    Natalia B.

    Beautiful view, friendly service, and delicious pizza. Split the margarita pizza which comes cut into 6 slices . The sauce is sweet and tangy and the crust is thin and cooked to perfection Def recommend if you are in the area. They have patio seating which is a bit small so make sure you come early to enjoy the view. They have a fire pit outside and heaters for those colder days.

    Every time I come to Sausalito, I always make a stop here. I love their food, and their service is always top-tier. The host or one of the waiters came and talked to us for a while about his child in college and stuff like that it felt really personable the waiters there are always so attentive. I even asked for a Michelada, which was not on the menu that I saw and they made it for me. It was one of the best ive had!

    Expensive veggie plate
    Stephen H.

    Only based on a vegan perspective. Agree with all the others, very limited vegan options without modifications. $19 for a plate of grilled vegetables with goat cheese removed!! Pros: friendly service but no real help suggesting options for vegans. Very nice view. Ate there as choice of non vegan diner who had a prosciutto pizza. He enjoyed it.

    Pear pizza

    Incredible pizza, gorgeous view and amazing service! So glad I came here! I recommend the pear pizza!

She was super accommodating and attentive without being overbearing. Once we told her what we liked, she immediately knew what to recommend and guided us through the menu perfectly. You can tell she knows her stuff. We came specifically for happy hour (we're definitely HH aficionados) and made it our mission to try everything on the menu. While the chips & dip were good, they're something you can find elsewhere, so not necessarily a standout. Everything else, though? OUTSTANDING! The hummus, whipped feta, and muhamarra were next-level--easily some of the best we've had. The CN burger sliders were also a hit--we had one each and they were so yummy that next time my husband is already planning on getting two. The drinks were on point. The espresso martinis absolutely fueled our afternoon in the best way, and we also tried the creamsicle cocktail and the shrimp Za'atar from the regular menu--both were super delicious in their own way. The ambiance was great, and the bartender was clearly on top of things, which always adds to the overall vibe. One thing worth noting: happy hour is now only offered Monday-Thursday, but Sydney was kind enough to honor it for us on Saturday since the website hadn't been updated yet. That level of service really sealed the deal for us. Overall, a fantastic experience from start to finish--great food, great drinks, and even better service. Easy five stars.

When we arrived, we were told that our reservation was actually for seating at the bar. We explained that our booking showed **standard seating** and that we had reserved a table, not bar seating. Instead of acknowledging the discrepancy or trying to resolve it, the maître d' told us that the reservation was "open to interpretation" and that, to him, "standard seating" meant sitting at the bar. It was incredibly frustrating to be told that *we* were wrong about the reservation we had made and that the wording could simply be interpreted however they chose once we arrived. What made the experience particularly upsetting was the way we were treated. We came in excited to support this restaurant and enjoy a meal, but we left feeling as though we simply **weren't worthy of being given a table**, despite having made a reservation for one. There was no sense of hospitality, accountability, or genuine effort to make the situation right. Instead, we were made to feel as though expecting the seating we reserved was unreasonable. A reservation should mean something. If "standard seating" at La Marcha can mean bar seating rather than a standard table, that should be made explicitly clear when guests book--not reinterpreted at the door. We were really looking forward to dining here, which makes the experience even more disappointing. We ultimately felt unwelcome and as though we somehow weren't "good enough" to receive the table we had reserved. No guest should leave a restaurant feeling that way.

We're big fans of visiting hotel bars when we travel because they consistently deliver great experiences. This is probably one of the first times we've ever gone to a hotel bar as locals. When we showed up at 4:30 p.m., the bar was completely empty. It wasn't until about 5:30 p.m., when we were leaving, that it really started to fill up. Little did we know, we had actually stopped by right in the middle of Happy Hour, which runs from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Unlike your typical Happy Hour with a limited menu of food and drinks, the menu here is extensive. The entire cocktail list--normally priced around $16 each--is half off. I haven't seen anything like this anywhere in the Bay. People on social media love to use the term "hidden gem" to describe places that are anything but, but Carlotta's is truly a hidden gem. You do not want to sleep on this Happy Hour. The bartender here couldn't have been more fun to chat with, and for the price and quality, the drinks cannot be beat. Can't wait to stop by again.

    Love the vibe of this place. It's located inside the historic Hotel Julian. The drinks are amazing…read more Shout out to the bartenders. All the staff is super sweet and accommodating. The food is also really good. They have a super spacious back patio. I think they also have live music some days.
