    The porch is really hard to leave. We loved the view, appreciated the space heaters, and had great service where we were unrushed. The ahi ceviche was lovely and well balanced, the miso Caesar was perfectly flavored. Each of the glasses of wine I had were suggested by our wonderful server whose name I sadly can't recall and he hit the mark each time. The Chardonnay on the list was my absolute favorite. I'd hang out here many nights in a row if given the opportunity.

    Caramelized Bread Pudding

    Enjoyed the casual cozy vibes during dinner here - lots of family gatherings during the holiday season. Good service. Prices were ok for a hotel restaurant and food was meh. The crab cake was our favorite, though a slight bummer that you only get one. The salmon BLT was good too. The petrale sole entree felt a little heavy. Would pass on the bread pudding next time - the ice cream was great but the pudding itself was a little too dense.

    I can't believe it took me this long to discover Cavallo Point. I've spent so much time in Sausalito over the years, and somehow this place completely escaped me--which now feels almost criminal. The location is genuinely breathtaking. Sweeping views, lush grounds, and that cinematic Golden Gate backdrop that makes you stop mid-thought. As a hotel, it's absolutely going on my short list for future stays. Cavallo Point also has a restaurant on-site, and much like ERIA (which I've reviewed before), it feels like a venue that's been figuring itself out through a series of pivots. Personally, I respect that. I admire spaces that evolve and adapt instead of clinging to the status quo until they go under. That said, I do think they could do a better job explaining who they are and what they offer--I genuinely didn't know which restaurant I was walking into or what to expect. We stopped by on a Saturday around 2 p.m. without a reservation and were seated fairly easily. Parking was also easy, with plenty of street parking available. There is very limited outdoor seating, though, so we ended up sitting inside, which felt noticeably darker and less magical than the grounds outside. The menu itself was another letdown--very few options, nothing particularly unique or appetizing, and surprisingly little in the way of comfort food. It looked fine on paper, but nothing jumped out or felt exciting. Service was spotty from the start. After being seated, we waited about 20 minutes before finally having to wave someone down just to take our order. Small things continued to slip--like having to ask for ketchup twice before it ever arrived--which didn't help the overall experience. Now to the food. I wanted so badly to love it. The ambience alone had me rooting for this place. But unfortunately, the food was very disappointing. I ordered the chicken sandwich (I have a long-standing chicken sandwich obsession that was recently reignited by Blue Barn, so my standards are... informed). I upgraded from salad to fries, which felt reasonable until the plate arrived. The shrimp was noticeably low quality. The fried coating on the chicken completely slid off, leaving bare, unseasoned chicken underneath. No seasoning, no balance, no cohesion. The soup was half decent flavor-wise, but it came out cold. I didn't finish the sandwich. I didn't finish the soup. My friend ordered the same burger and didn't like it either. Meanwhile, the bar looked lively, and the space had that classic hotel-restaurant buzz. I also ran into quite a few locals, so clearly this is a place people come to hang out. The bill came out to around $170 for two burgers, shrimp, and tip, which felt especially steep given the quality of the food. At that price point, I expect at least solid execution, if not something memorable. Would I go back? Absolutely--for the views, the grounds, maybe a coffee or a drink, or just to enjoy the park and scenery. But I honestly don't understand why anyone would come here specifically to eat. The food is mediocre, the menu uninspired, and the pricing hard to justify. Stunning location. Beautiful ambience. Disappointing food. Come for the view--just don't come hungry.

    Grilled Salmon Noodle Salad was amazing, would definitely recommend.

    The food and restaurant was great after a long day. We enjoyed the food and the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

    Fort Bragg Petrale Sole ($36) - 4.9/5

    Farley and Sula - Elegant Dining with a View at Cavallo Point Lodge in Sausalito I have dined at Farley and Sula about five times since last November for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, both for work and leisure. While the food is consistently good, it does feel slightly overpriced for the location and limited competition within walking distance of the lodge. What sets this destination apart is the ambiance and flexibility. Guests can dine on either side of the two restaurants or enjoy a meal outdoors under heat lamps with sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay, the city skyline, and the Golden Gate Bridge. Farley offers a sophisticated gastropub-style setting with a casual yet elevated menu, while Sula provides a more relaxed lounge experience. I love that both restaurants share menus, allowing guests to sample dishes from each while seated anywhere on the property. The service is consistently warm and professional, adding to the comfort of the experience. However, I do not agree with the 4% kitchen staff surcharge applied to food items. In my opinion, compensating staff properly should be the restaurant's responsibility, not an additional cost for guests. Must-Try Dishes at Farley and Sula Classic Benedict ($28) - 4.5/5 Served with Canadian bacon, tomato, hollandaise, and breakfast potatoes. This dish was flavorful, satisfying, and perfect for a working breakfast. The sauce made it a bit tricky to eat neatly, but it was still delicious. Blue Crab Cake ($26) - 4.9/5 Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, this crab cake was beautifully presented and paired perfectly with dill remoulade and pickled mushrooms. A must-order for seafood lovers. Watermelon and Heirloom Tomato Salad ($30) - 4.7/5 A refreshing mix of endive, arugula, feta, basil, and minted vinaigrette. The presentation was stunning, and the flavors were balanced and fresh. While delicious, it felt slightly overpriced compared to other entrées. Fort Bragg Petrale Sole ($36) - 4.9/5 This dish stood out for its presentation and balance of flavors. The parmesan crust and toasted almond risotto were delightful, complemented by lemon and thyme butter. Coffee-Rubbed New York Steak ($54) - 4/5 The steak was well-seasoned with chipotle-lime butter and served with crispy potato wedges and corn salsa. The flavors were excellent, but the steak arrived slightly cooler than expected, which detracted from the overall enjoyment. Caramel Bread Pudding ($13) - 4.9/5 Served warm with vanilla ice cream, this dessert was rich, comforting, and perfect for enjoying outdoors on a cool evening. It was the ideal sweet ending to a scenic dinner. Drinks Sausalito Sunset ($19) - 1/5 A mix of rums, passionfruit, coconut, and nutmeg. Unfortunately, it was overly sweet and syrupy, masking the individual flavors. Palomita ($19) - 3/5 A tequila and mezcal cocktail with grapefruit and fresno agave. The flavor was balanced but not memorable. Final Thoughts Farley and Sula provide one of the most scenic dining experiences in Sausalito, with panoramic views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the San Francisco skyline. The ambiance and service make this an excellent spot for a romantic dinner, a business lunch, or a relaxing brunch at Cavallo Point Lodge. While the prices can feel high and the drinks inconsistent, the food quality and atmosphere are worth experiencing at least once. For locals, I recommend enjoying a picnic on the grass, hike around the nearby trails and returning here in the evening for a glass of wine and dessert by the fire.

    Come ! Our server Francisco was the best. He made the day. What a beautiful day in one of the most iconic places in the world. Emmet was also super sweet. They really have a super team here. Highly recommend for amazing drinks.

    Service was outstanding. We always had the best servers who very attentive and remembered us when we came back (we were staying on the property). We sat on the patio and had the best view, it was perfect vibes for our breakfast. The steak was cooked perfectly and the sourdough toast was delicious. Would absolutely eat here again!

    We came here on a Saturday during lunch hour hoping for the Farley All Day Menu, but it turns out on weekends, only the Sula (the restaurant across from Farley) Weekend Brunch menu is available. For the table, we got the Blue Crab Cake and Umami Fries, which everyone loved. The French Dip sandwich was fantastic, and you get a generous amount. Likewise for the Grassfed Burger, which they cook to about medium rare. For the Ahi Tuna Poke, you really do not get a lot for the price, and I could barely make out the papaya, which the menu said was included in the dish. For a lover of poke, Farley's approach to poke didn't hit the spot for me. What shines here is the service. The bartender was able to provide perfect cocktail recommendations based on our preferences. In all we had the most wonderful time at Farley and will definitely be coming again.

    Grilled New York Steak and Eggs* International Orange

    Steak and eggs usually comes with a tough and chewy piece of meat, lacking in flavor. Not the case here. Probably the best version of this dish I've had. The sourdough toast was fresh and excellent. I had the International Orange brunch cocktail and loved it (I love a cocktail with egg whites involved). It takes at least 8 minutes to make; I was forewarned, and it came out just a tad after my food - worth the wait. I've eaten here maybe between 7-10 times and I've never been unhappy with the experience.

    I got engaged yesterday at Cavallo Point, and I just have to share something that made the day even more special. A huge shout-out to Erdem--he is truly one of the sweetest people I've ever met! My partner and I have visited Farley's Bar before, where Erdem has been our bartender, and every time he's made the experience unforgettable. He's welcoming, knowledgeable, and just an all-around kind soul. Yesterday, Erdem went above and beyond to make our celebration even more memorable, surprising us with a champagne toast and a lovely dessert. It's these little touches that made the day feel so extraordinary, and we're so grateful for his kindness. Farley's is lucky to have such an incredible person on their team! Thank you, Erdem, for making our engagement day even more magical. You're the best! :)

    Had this placed in my "restaurants to try in Saucelito" on my Instagram so my dad and I decided to try them for my birthday! They did not disappoint! The food was great! The mocha latte was perfect, no sugar even needed and that says a lot because I have a huge sweet tooth! The service was perfect! Everyone was so polite and nice! The seats were so comfortable! I felt like I was at a super fancy restaurant for celebrities but the prices were surprisingly not insane! From the looks of it, we thought we were going to spend a couple hundreds lol! The place is also huge! And they validate your parking with vallet for not fee! I would definitely come back! Definitely let vallet park your car because it's a weird location and you would not be able to park or find a park on your own! (That was confusing because it was unclear where you could and couldn't park). The drive there was very pretty as well!

    Complimentary wine
    Jenny H.

    Pleasantly surprised with the food and drinks. Super chill ambience with nostalgic and historic vibes. They seated us at the high top pub tables for happy hour before we moved to the other side of the restaurant for dinner. Attentive service, but they can be quite slow. Great Sausalito Sunset (passionfruit) cocktail and fries. Definitely get those PERFECT fries -- large serving with the wonderful amount of puffiness, crunchy exterior, and fluffy interior. For dinner, we selected items from the prix fixe menu ($125 per person). -House Made Parker Rolls -Mixed Greens -Seasonal Soup -Fresh Catch (with corn risotto, asparagus, pepperonata, butter sauce, lime) **^Summer Fruit Cobbler (with house made ice cream): Best thing on the menu! The peach cobblers were insanely delicious! They ran out of them by the end of the evening, but the amount was more than enough for our large party. They gave us some chocolate cakes in place of some cobblers. I would 100% come back for the fries and peach cobbler any day! Bonus: if you have lodging with them, there's a complimentary glass of wine from 4-6pm in the main lobby.

    Buttermilk Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Isaac C.

    Farley in Sausalito offers a visually appealing experience with excellent presentation. The Niman Ranch Burger was easily the stand out, expertly cooked to a medium level, delivering great flavor and texture--undoubtedly one of the Bay Area's best. The fried chicken sandwich was a bit dry but did have a nice rosemary touch, though additional seasoning would enhance its overall taste. The umami fries had good crisp and subtle flavor.

    Is this close to the ferry?

    Not close enough for walking as it's a little more than 2 miles away from the ferry in Sausalito, so taking a Lyft or riding a bike would make more sense.

    Do they take reservations?

    With the current Covid levels can we come to the bar for just a drink or are we required to order food also?

    not required to do anything but enjoy. no minimum, no requirements, just come on in--drink what you like, eat if you like, and make sure to say hello to one of our team members, we cannot wait to meet you!

After reading some reviews here I knew it was a small place, so I was pleasantly surprised I could get a reservation during our trip to Sausalito. My husband and I had recently enjoyed some caviar for the first time but we are no experts, and I was a little worried that he might not get enough to eat. Turns out we both left perfectly satisfied. The place is tiny but so elegant. The bar is right in front of the kitchen that is sparkling clean and the chef prepares everything right there. There is a little high top table too and there was a couple there when we arrived, but afterward it was just us and we felt like royalty treated to our private dinner. We aren't caviar experts by any means but Yo did a great job explaining the different caviar flights including where it comes from - turns out the white sturgeon is farmed in the Sacramento Delta. We chose the Menage a Trois white sturgeon flight and it was so elegant. Three kinds of caviar plus all these homemade breads and crackers to enjoy it with. Every bite was amazing and I think we only left a couple of chives. Afterward we picked a couple of other dishes - the Chawanamushi and the Dungeness crab ravioli. Both were exquisite- in flavor and presentation. For dessert we had the sweet potato - Yo described it as a ganache - which I couldn't really picture but it was a very accurate description. It came with asian pear and was just the perfect finish to our meal. I had a couple glasses of French bubbly with my meal - normally I can't do more than one glass of champagne but it was crisp and yummy and paired well with everything we ate. When we were finished we got our check in a cute sturgeon pulp science fiction book. It was the final thoughtful detail to a wonderful evening. Chef Lance is a real artist and he really thinks through the ingredients and the flavors. Everything was so delicious and creative. I hope we get to come back again someday.

They got pretty crowded. Definitely not for the tech bro, but if you're a Midwest menace like me, this is the place to be. I enjoyed it a lot. It was definitely locals and young crowds in our twenties, a couple of OGs. I thought it was a good vibe and would definitely come back here. Definitely on my secret spots. I don't think it's for everybody, but if you're someone who has been in the bar scene and into a Big Ten school kind of vibe, this is it.

    Wow. Just wow. We just moved to the neighborhood, so this one genuinely disappoints me. I want our…read morelocal businesses to thrive, and I fully expected this to become a place we'd come back to regularly. Saturday afternoon, casual drinks. After a couple of beers, I was thinking about switching to a martini and playfully asked the bartender, "How are your martini skills?" That was it. Instead of taking it in the lighthearted spirit in which it was intended--or even simply saying she didn't appreciate the question--the bartender reacted as though I'd said something deeply offensive. She walked away visibly upset and refused to serve me. What made the experience particularly strange was what happened next. The other bartender came over to find out what was going on. I explained exactly what I'd said and that there was no insult or disrespect intended; I was literally just opening a conversation about ordering a martini. Rather than defusing an incredibly minor misunderstanding, she doubled down, insisted that my question was somehow inappropriate, and reinforced the refusal to serve me. At that point, I left. I've spent plenty of time in bars and restaurants, and I can't remember another experience where such an innocuous interaction was interpreted with this much hostility. People misunderstand each other sometimes. Professional hospitality means giving a customer a reasonable benefit of the doubt, communicating like an adult, and resolving a minor misunderstanding--not immediately assuming ill intent and escalating it. What concerns me most is that this wasn't one bartender having an off moment. Both bartenders independently chose escalation over hospitality, which makes me wonder whether this reflects a broader culture problem. As a new neighbor, that's especially disappointing. I genuinely want the businesses in this neighborhood to succeed. But hospitality requires a baseline level of professionalism, emotional intelligence, and generosity toward customers. Based on this experience, I won't be returning.

    My family and I visited Muir beach today with our pup for the first time today. After a beautiful…read morebeach day we searched up dog friendly restaurants nearby and found Le Garage. My sister was cold and really didn't want to have to sit outdoors so we almost opted for to go food, but ultimately chose to dine anyways, and I'm so glad we did. I'll start by saying EVERYTHING was incredible. From the food down to the service we received. All of the staff we interacted with during our time there were very kind and attentive. For starters, when we arrived, I told our waitress we had a dog and she directed us to a table on their "indoor patio ", so we we're basically sat indoors, which was really nice. We weren't cold at all, and had we been, it looked like they had overhead heaters! We ordered their bread service, the warm trout dip, truffle fries, steak & frites, the burger, mussels/clams, the chocolate tart and creme brûlée. It was all delicious. While eating our appetizers, our poor pup got sick and threw up under the table :( we tried to discreetly clean it and felt really embarrassed. Entrées came out a few minutes later, and while eating our entrées, it happened a second time. At that point, we were ready to ask for the food to go, because we were feeling so thoroughly embarrassed. As I started cleaning the vomit a second time, our kind waitress came over and told me she would take care of it. I apologized repeatedly, and we felt sooo bad. She was so kind, and gracious towards us, telling us it was okay. I never got her name, but I wanted to let her know just how much we really appreciated her assistance and for not making us feel worse about what had happened. The way she handled the situation, was the epitome of dog friendly service. I'm not sure why our pup was so sick at the restaurant. My guess is he may have swallowed some water while playing at the beach. I just really wanted to express my gratitude for you all allowing us to enjoy a nice meal and continuously treating us kindly and respectfully after our poor boy got sick in your restaurant. Thank you again! If you're looking for a restaurant with delicious food, great ambiance and even better service, THIS IS IT

We had a great server in Juan. He made our night special! Gave us great recommendations on cocktails. I had the the Nightcall pretty and smooth going down. The wife had the Sweater Weather really nice! Now for the food: Caviaor & 1000 layer potato, best clam chowder in the bay, seafood linguine and ceaser salad w/chicken. All delicious and delectable! Juan made sure we lacked for nothing and a woman named Carolyn came by to check on us and ensure the evening was going well. Great place to dine especialy for an anniversary! Please swing thru!

The view on the patio of the restaurant was gorgeous and recommended if the weather is nice. I got the thousand-layer potato with caviar (+$12) and the steak and eggs for my entrée. The thousand-layer potato with caviar was delicious and came in a generous serving size. The steak and eggs were also really good. We also ordered the peach galette for dessert, which was fresh and delicious. One thing I will say is that my friends mentioned it was my birthday, and the staff said they would bring something special out. They brought out a slice of red velvet cake, which was great, but we did end up getting charged for it on the bill. It wasn't a big deal, but we would've appreciated a heads up that it would be an additional charge. Overall, we had a great brunch and enjoyed the food!

    This week, Michaels brought me to Sausalito and The Spinnaker... a nice restaurant in a beautiful…read morelocation with panoramic windows and a beautiful view of the bay, San Francisco, and the very top of the Golden Gate Bridge. There was something indescribable, though, that hinted that they rely on the picturesque views to make up for food that is "good" - but not "great." Let's start on a positive note. You can't beat the view. Our server was well informed about the menu, attentive, and friendly - but unwilling to help too much with the menu selections. "Everything is good" is a bit of a pet peeve of mine but I'm not holding this against the rating of this restaurant as that's pretty server-specific. We started with a half dozen local oysters on the half shell which were actually amazing. Perhaps the most mild tasting oysters I have ever had and served with a champagne mignonette, cocktail sauce, and fresh horseradish - all of which paired nicely. For my main course, I had the petrale sole - a very mild, delicate, Pacific flatfish. While flaky and tender, it did lack flavor and was served with some relatively uninspired accompaniments - a saffron rice and some roasted vegetables which was mostly green beans and celery. One of my friends ordered the paella which he said was "great." Overall very decent experience on par with so many other coastal restaurants that know they can fill the seats with the amazing views alone. I would definitely come back - but would likely order something different... except for the oysters - those were a must to order again!

As for the food, I wouldn't describe it as exceptional--it's decent but fairly average. If judging the food alone, the prices feel rather high and difficult to justify. However, when you take the wonderful views and location into account, the overall experience feels somewhat more worthwhile. Since it is located in a popular tourist destination, the higher prices are understandable, though still a little excessive in my opinion.
