Cultivar - Sausalito - gnocchi and sancerre - New American Near Me - Sausalito, California

Was finally able to come by last weekend and take in the beautiful ambiance of this gorgeous place. It was a busy Sunday evening and everyone was out and about. We luckily got the last seats at the bar. While we didn't order anything to eat this time, I did get a beautiful cocktail at the suggestion of the bartender. I believe it was the Vees Knees, beautiful and light...perfect for an early Sunday evening. There was ample opportunity to people watch at the bar...all ages, all dress codes, all positive and fun. Everyone was smiling and having their own conversations and open to meeting new people, how much better can it get? Next time I hope to come by for dinner along with the drinks and will update my review again. read more

Service was great! Our friends made the experience a blast! The food was ok. We especially liked the bread rolls! The gnocchi was too mushy and overcooked. Pork chop was delicious! Nice, friendly ambiance with many tourists! read more

Exactly the establishment Sausalito needed. Great work by the owners. Enjoyed the Benedict for brunch, which they allowed a substitution. It also had a fun bonus ingredient of mozzarella, which sounds weird but was great bc it was high quality. They're still figuring out the music. I would recommend more jazz over current electronic pop type stuff for this Marin crowd/age. I'll look forward to going on busy days for happy hour to see if the service can match that of Poggio, or dare I say Marin Joe's. To become a local institution seems to involve high-quality food and some personality along with stellar management. I believe this place has the ingredients for a winning trifecta. read more

We stopped by after an sunset stroll in Sausalito. It was Friday night with not reservation and was lucky to grab 2 last seats at the bar. Ordered the beet cocktail and a few bites including the veggies pizza with eggplants. Balance cocktail, good pizza and service. The olive oil cake was way too sweet for us and on a drier side but otherwise, great place to grab a bite and fun vibes. read more

This place was really good and super nice inside--great atmosphere overall. The gnocchi was delicious, especially the one stuffed with cheese--that was definitely the best thing I had. The pizza was good the day we got it, but honestly even better the next day. The wagyu was just okay, nothing too special, but the drinks were really good. One thing to note is there's no dedicated parking for the restaurant, so you'll have to either pay for street parking or park closer to the ferry and walk over. When we went, the weather was perfect, which made the whole experience even better. I'd definitely go back, mainly for the gnocchi. read more

Went for Mother's Day brunch and it was fantastic. So happy to see this place open in downtown Sausalito. It's just what Sausalito needed there. I hope to see more of a restaurant revival, and less empty art galleries! They did a really nice job with the space, it looks great inside and out. It feels bigger than it is. It is comfortable. The food was delicious, service was excellent, and the prices are reasonable. Really enjoyed the cinnamon vanilla french toast. We will be back to try more on the menu! read more

The gnocchi ravioli was out of this world!!!' And the Alcatraz pizza was soooo delish! Also they had really beautiful live music! read more

Cultivar is the restaurant that Sausalito desperately needed. The space is beautiful and really comfortable. Big leather booths, warm lighting, and an inviting bar that makes you want to stay a while. The heated outdoor seating is fantastic too, especially since it's dog friendly. The food is outstanding. The lobster mac and cheese is a standout, and the pizzas are excellent, simple, flavorful, and clearly made with great ingredients. Service is quick and friendly. What I love most is the overall energy of the place. It's lively, fun, and has a level of sophistication that feels like a real boost for Sausalito's dining scene. It's the kind of place that works just as well for a casual dinner as it does for drinks and a long evening with friends and family. read more

Cultivar - Sausalito - Tons of awesome outdoor seating - New American Near Me - Sausalito, California

Lively atmosphere. A great new addition to downtown Sausalito. Couple TVs at the bar to catch a game. Great outdoor seating area with powerful heaters. We had a reservation and were seated immediately. Outdoor seating by the ferry terminal was great people watching. Cesar served us and was very pleasant to talk to. We had the: - Lobster Mac (best thing) - Shishito peppers and shrimp (2nd best) - Shrimp Louie - Pork Chop We are local and will certainly be coming back! read more

I felt disrespectful, discriminated, rude by the staff (by 1 person). Oh please dont even say I was busy....I have seen a staff care for others (Race is part it) person have not check in with us. I-we have been sitting at our area waiting to get our drinks, orders and felt like it's rushed. Another different staff took care of us (again race was part of it). But when the check came, staff cleared out table for next customer. Rushed us out Food was good, I was unhappy of my services read more

Delish food. Great service. Will go back. Lovely interior. Tasty and savory margherita pizza. Great empanadas with delicious sauce. Butterscotch pudding amazing. Delish apple tarte. read more

I was invited by a local friend to have happy hour (bites and drinks) on a Friday night. We had excellent service, and our waitress was very knowledgeable about ingredients. We ended up staying much longer than expected because the vibes were great. Noise level was perfect, and heat lamps kept us warm all evening. I took a friend back this week who lives around the corner and had an equally strong experience. The hostess and her son were such a local treat to greet us! A much-needed addition for us locals (I am in Mill Valley now). Do not miss this place! read more

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and we were driving through the area headed home from SFO. Decided to see what looked good in Sausalito and stumbled into Cultivar. The ambience and decor were perfect, and we decided to sit at the bar. We each enjoyed one of the drinks off their cocktail menu, the margarita and the Paloma. Both delicious and refreshing. We ordered the Shishido peppers, but as they were out, they made the dish with asparagus instead, and it was absolutely amazing. My husband ordered the salmon and I had the shrimp Louie. We were both very impressed with our meals that were well balanced, and tasty, and I loved that all of the staff was there to help you when you needed more water, another drink or simply had a question. We will definitely be back! read more

Very good food and excellent service. creative menu. It may sound silly but the Lobster macaroni and cheese is DIVINE. read more

We had a 2:45 reservation for Mother's Day. They did not seem to be able to find us a table until the manager saw my mom waiting with her walker and checked on us. They seated us inside instead of on the patio but it was ok. Then they tried to take away the menus on our table because it turned 3:00 while we waited and the menu changed. My mom wanted something on the other menu so again I had to ask for help from the manager. The food was fine, some dishes were good --like the ravioli my mom ordered on the "not at 3:00 menu" and the Mt. Tam pizza. The kale & apple salad was ok. The butterscotch pudding had a lot of added salt on top -- a bit too much. Parking was a nightmare and the whole area was a zoo because of the holiday. All in all I was thinking of giving 3 stars but ended up at 4 because of the manager saving the day. read more

The ambiance is beautiful, such a great spot in downtown sausalito! The food was delicious, recommend the meatballs/waffles. Drinks were yummy, festive and unique! read more

Enjoyed a delicious brunch with friends at the newly opened Cultivar in Sausalito last week and were dazzled by the service, food and delightful atmosphere. Michael, our waiter was very efficient and made us feel so very welcomed. We will be back soon. read more

Went there last night fir the first time. 93 bucks fir 2 Martin's a glass of wine and appetizer. Too expensive for what you get. Appetizer was unedible. Service was ok. If it want fir the barracks I woukd have never got a drink. Been a Sausalito resident for 25 years. I wont go back. Too expensive and less than mediocre. Too bad we got another overpriced tourist trap in Sausalito. read more

Omg the food is so fresh, I absolutely love that it's farm to table and they have their own winery! Definitely a must to add to your list of places to go! If you're looking for a good well balanced drink bartender Bella absolutely to die for. Her espresso martinis are a MUST and she's amazing at concocting a drink based off what you love! The vibes of Cultivar are fabulous, running into regulars, friends and the biggest thing the noise is mostly the sounds of people not the music! read more

Had a chance to visit the newly opened Cultivar in Sausalito where we live. What an amazing addition to our seaside town. The design and decor is incredible, including the lighting and sound. We had a very comfortable booth, not too far away from the bustling bar. The Shishido pepper appetizer with tempura shrimp was delicious as was the gnocchi. Pizzas to share with the table were well done as well. Looking forward to having our next meal out on the huge deck overlooking the streets and ferry landing. Welcome to Sausalito Cultivar! read more

Experience was average. The team certainly needs some refinement. The podium was stationed by two employees. One was dressed like in like she just got walked out of a yoga studio in her blue patterned attire at dinner time. Very off putting considering the time of night and vibe. I tasted two Chards. The house was floral and like a Sauv. When asked, the server confirmed it was indeed a Chard. The Chard I ordered arrived in a huge red glass. My friend and I laughed in the moment in disbelief. Why can't Americans get wine glasses right? Clearly a coaching moment for the staff. Other annoyances: the staff took away plates with food on the prematurely. Mid speech we asked for the plates to be returned so we could finish. So rude. We had been there maybe an hour total, and the first 30 were getting our drinks. The pizza is really a flat bread and not filling. The salad was over dressed, like an oil slick with way too much acid. The napkins are cheap and polyester. The overall interior feels like a slap up with little integrity to design. The location is fab. The lot is expensive. I'd give them a few months to train the staff properly before trying. read more

A new addition to the Sausalito BAR scene. I would say it's more of a wine & cocktail experience with food rather than restaurant. We hoped to eat dinner outside at Cultivar but the host kindly moved us inside when rain was predicted. Outside should be less noisy and better for conversation. Service was extremely prompt which might be expected given the advertised time limit per dine in table reservations. We ordered mostly small plates, pastas and salads, all of which were good and well portioned. Shocking was the addition of 6% to the final bill. The waiter pointed out the mouse print on the menu " Our 6% dine in charge allows us to maintain a high level of service and ensures equitable wages amongst all our staff." If you add a 20% tip, that's 26% ... Would I go there again, maybe, to sit outside on a nice day, however there are many new options Sausalito which could tempt me first. read more

We've been longtime Cultivar customers and wine club members going back to when the Chestnut street restaurant opened while we lived in SF. Even since moving to Marin, we still frequently visit the SF location for brunch or to pick up our wine shipments, and have always loved the vibe and food. The new Sausalito location brings the same approach to food and drink to a larger more refined space, with the addition of a full bar and craft cocktail menu. Great location right next to the big downtown parking lot. The restaurant itself is beautiful, huge leather booths, high ceilings, and a very large outdoor seating area which I'm sure will be packed when the weather warms up. We got a reservation opening week and were seated right away when we arrived. We split the meatballs, lobster mac, and whole game hen, all of which were delicious. There's no official kid menu, but they do have some kid-friendly items if you have picky eaters like we do (kids pizza, butter noodles, etc.) . A much needed addition to the South Marin dining scene, and we'll be back. read more

What a great new spot in downtown. Sat at the corner of the bar with Bartenders Danny and Emily. The cocktails were on point, I had the Twist and Shout Paloma, very refreshing. I started with the Ahi Tuna Poke, very generous portion, good balance of soy sauce. I paired this with the Fritz Family Chardonnay. For my main I had the Caspar Burger, this was cooked perfectly medium rare. The Leaky Lake Cab was a solid paring with the burger, big, dark, mineral driven, plush tannins and a long finish. Can't wait to try some of the other dishes. read more

We dropped in for a late lunch/early dinner. We were favorably impressed. Cocktails, wine, and very nice food. The service was very good. Definitely a do-again. Not inexpensive, tho. read more

Saw this place opened, and every time we went by they were fully booked... so we dropped in on a Sunday at 5pm when they opened and grabbed two seats at the bar. Bella was our bartender and she had some great recommendations and introduced us to their menu. Had one of their tasty pizzas and Bella made spot on delicious cocktails! We will be back for sure! Everyone, staff and customers loved being there and their vibe is just what Sausalito locals needed! I mean the tourists will enjoy it too, but I feel like this will be an amazing addition to the Sausalito community! read more

Fantastic new spot in sausalito with great drinks ! Had a melon margarita and a delicious Mezcal Beet drink !Both were fantastic we sat at the bar and the staff were very attentive.we just had drinks as we were having an evening walk but will return for dinner soon. read more

I thought Cultivar was just okay. The food was very bland. The only thing that had a hint of flavor was the meatball appetizer. Maybe because it's new and an off night. The wine was good and they had a good selection. I had a cabernet which was excellent. This is run by Cultivar Wine so they got that right but have to work on the food. I left thinking I could've done a better job making the food at home. I'll stick with more established and reliable places like Poggio, the Buckeye Bungalow 44, Left Bank and Farmshop here in Marin. And, the multitude of great restaurants like Spruce in San Francisco. read more

I'm so happy Cultivar has come to Marin! It's exactly what we needed: a modern, high-quality restaurant with great service and ambiance that offers something different from the old favorites. The flavors were accessible yet inventive. I was with a group so we were able to sample multiple items on the menu. All were delicious, but the trout dip with dill and potato chips and the salmon entree were true standouts, as was the cucumber margarita. Service was prompt, polite, and knowledgable, and parking was easy. I look forward to returning! read more

I came here for dinner with my boyfriend and his mom and we had a lovely time. Adrian was our server (sorry if I misspelled that...) however, she was beyond amazing!. Everything from the service, the food and wine recommendations, the over all ambiance was a 10 out of 10. We love the San Francisco locations, but love how charming the Sausalito location is and we will definitely be back. read more

Immediately greeted by the hosts with a smile. Lucked out on a few spots at the bar. Great service by Charlie, Hugo, Parker and Chris. Chef Matthew recommended the empanadas himself and they were phenomenal. We ordered a couple cocktails for date night my wife had the Marinship marg (she's a self proclaimed professional marg connoisseur) said it was extremely well balanced not too sweet while still upholding all the flavor from the fresh pressed honeydew melon and cucumber. I had a Vees Bees a bees knees riff that was in fact the bees knees. The space is warm and ambient but still modern and chic. Given the fact they just opened they are doing an amazing job and as a local I'm extremely excited to see the space to continue to grow. read more

Beautiful restaurant but the food is awful. We've tried twice but the end result was the same. The menu is not exciting so I went with the margarita pizza. It was undercooked and didn't include basil. Blah at best. read more

Had a lovely evening at the new Cultivar. Gorgeous space, great wine, and food. The ambience and vibes are impeccable. Wonderful addition to Sausalito and Marin. Can't wait to go back. read more

We went to the recently opened Cultivar in Sausalito the other night and had an excellent meal. The service was excellent and it has a fun and energetic atmosphere. The salads were large and delicious and the Shishito peppers and burger were super tasty. The honeydew/cucumber Margarita was one of the best Margys I've ever had in a restaurant. I'm a Margarita purist but wanted to try their twist and it was really subtle and still very lime forward and strong. I'm guessing the other cocktails are going to be great too and can't wait to go back. This restaurant is a great addition to the Marin scene. I highly recommend trying it. read more

Been a huge fan of the Cultivar restaurants in San Francisco for years, so when I heard they were opening a Marin location I was beyond excited. Happy to report: they absolutely nailed it. The menu is its own thing here -- seasonal, fresh, different from SF -- but the incredible wine program makes the trip across the bridge feel instantly familiar in the best way. Same great pours, new dishes to love. We came with a big group, which honestly is the BEST way to do this place. We basically worked through most of the menu sharing everything, and I cannot think of a single dish that missed. Every. Single. One. Was. A. Hit. Okay so picking a favorite is genuinely hard but -- the shishito peppers and rock shrimp with sunchoke purée?? Incredible. (Also crucial intel: the wrinkly peppers are the spicy ones. You're welcome.) The branzino was perfectly cooked, and don't even get me started on the duck poutine. I literally cannot pick a favorite. Too many delicious courses, not enough stomach. Service was excellent -- attentive, professional, never rushed us. And the dining room is gorgeous. Elegant, warm, and atmospheric in a way that makes the whole evening feel special. Cultivar Sausalito -- we will be back soon. So glad you're here. read more

As Sausalito locals, we were excited to try this spot but had a terrible experience with the service. It was disorganized and inattentive, and I was honestly embarrassed bringing my partner. It was very disappointing and chaotic. We won't be coming back. You have to do better. read more

Finally opened. 3 yrs waiting... Really great atmosphere. Food was good. We made a reservation for dinner on a Tuesday evening but somehow there was still confusion with the host. Then a young guy jumped in after we waited for a few and took us to our table. Thanks. Guessing he also is a host. Location is super convenient. read more

Fantastic music! I give Cultivar a 5 dancing bear review! Solid menu, great drinks, and (as mentioned) awesome music the whole night! read more

Amazing new Sausalito hotspot right near the Ferry stop- great food, wine, cocktails and atmosphere!
