My family and I visited Muir beach today with our pup for the first time today. After a beautiful beach 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 read more

Le Garage - Bleu mussels and clams - French Near Me - Sausalito, California

pain perdu and the super thin fries that came with the clams were the highlights of my meal. everything else i'd probably pass. oysters were not the freshest i've had for the price, omelet itself was yummy but i didn't really like the lamb sausage in it, ordinary croque madame sandwich / clams / mimosas. they have valet for $5, and the staff was all kind. we came on a saturday morning and called 30 min before our eta to make sure there was no wait. really nice vibes by the water and docks in sausalito, but nothing special about the food read more

Came here for a weekend brunch. It wasn't as busy as I expected it to me considering all of the reviews and it being a weekend. Crudo de truite to share was fresh. It seemed like a very locally sourced dish. There was umami, acidity, and the balance of everything was nice. For my main, I had the moules marinere. The mussels okay. They could've been cleaned better because some of them still had bits of sand. There was a lot given though. Service was a little slow despite the restaurant not being super busy. If you're in the area, it's a decent place for a meal. However, I would not come out of my way for it. read more

Wanted somewhere special, somewhere with some personal history, for a friend's birthday. Weather cooperated and couldn't have been better, which helped to relieve a bit of a wait. To be fair, we arrived quite early and were seated close to reservation time. Server was great but some of the collateral folks were a bit less than welcoming, but sunshine and good vibes won the day. Food was very good - my omelette interesting and friend raved about steak and eggs. Loud, a bit chaotic, but excellent choice on a sunny Saturday. read more

I've been going here for almost a decade and tonight I experienced a totally different restaurant. The service was non existent. 90 min wait for our dinner. 30 min wait for more water. One waiter when asked to get us water responding by pointing to our waiter who was not interested in coming by our table for the longest stretches. No one else making the contact. A mouse climbed out of the wall (yes that actually happened) and that wasn't even the worst of it. what was supposed to be a celebratory dinner turned into a three hour marathon of utter indifference. I felt physically uncomfortable. I am so disappointed to have had this experience when the service has always been such a bright spot. Not sure I'll return. The mouse I can forgive, the indifference I can't. read more

You know a restaurant is good when they can manage a table of 15 ranging from ages 2-80 who all order something different and the staff at Le Garage nailed it and were fun / engaging while doing so! The food was all amazing- the crème brûlée was my highlight. It's a cool, relaxed atmosphere by a marina and near a popular beach. Would come back next time I'm in the area. read more

This place could be amazing, if only the staff were more friendly vs lackluster in their hospitality and attentiveness. Of the two times we've dined here, the waiters we had have acted more like they've got something else going on more important. On our most recent visit, something was left off of one of our entrees, and our waiter was SO dismissive when we asked him about it. He literally walked away like he was over it. I had to talk to 2 other employees and then finally the chef came out and it was confirmed our order had some key ingredients left out. After this, our waiter all but ignored us, like he was personally offended were that we didn't believe him or just let him be dismissive to us. The views and the setting are so nice here, but with all the dining options around here-why dine and spend your money to be left feeling like a burden vs like you're welcome and tended to politely. Not sure we'll be back anytime soon. read more

Loved this place. We walked in with no reservation ~ party of three ~ and they were so welcoming. Our server, Miguel, was excellent: friendly, attentive, and just genuinely great overall service. The food was spectacular, and with the beautiful weather the whole vibe felt perfect. Relaxed, lively, and exactly the kind of spot you want for a long brunch. My brunch cocktail was delicious ~ super fresh and so easy to sip while enjoying the waterfront. Highly recommend. Would absolutely go back. 5/5 all around read more

This place is the definition of rushed. I get it is busy but that's not an excuse to rush food out the door None of our meat rested everything was just a bloody looking mess. The taste was alright but the presentation left so much to be desired. read more

My wife and I finally returned here after 10+ years... and plan to come here more often. We were able to order a pairing of dishes from a fixed price menu. There were 3 appetizer options and 3 main options. We tried different things to share and they were all very good including a generous pot of delicious steamed mussels with fries, a delicious Niçoise salad, a hot, creamy smoked trout spread, and a beet salad with creamy burrata. Outdoor seating was taken, but it was about as nice indoors with the windows and doors open and a great view of the waterfront. Service was excellent. My wife faced out toward the beautiful scenery. And, though I faced a wall, it was a gigantic mirror that gave me the same impressive view. The service was excellent. Merci beaucoup! read more

Service is phenomenal, enjoyed our service. The food was great, the right portion to finish on site. Outside seating allows pets and the views are spectacular of the bay. Parking can be tough but there is valet. read more

Le Garage - Puffy pastry with cheese and greens. - French Near Me - Sausalito, California

First timer here. Read on if you're curious about my experience! Arrived at 11:30 AM on a Friday. Parking can be a bit tricky since most of the spots are permit-only. Can be confusing for first time visitors. Make sure to park in the designated "Le Garage" areas. They're clearly marked. Tourist trap or local spot? Honestly, I'm not sure, but from my "eavesdropping" experience, it seemed like there were a good number of locals so that's a good sign. Hehe. When I walked in, the staff asked if I had a reservation, which I didn't. I was surprised since the place was about 90% empty. But by noon, it was packed so I guess reservations do get important as it gets busier. The workers are kind but be aware that with every order, they'll ask if you'd like things like water or extra items without mentioning that they come with an added cost. Only regulars would probably know about the upcharges. Example: the first question they ask is whether you'd prefer still or sparkling water, but they don't say that "sparkling water" is an extra charge. Also, make sure you're coming at the right time. They have different menus for lunch, happy hour and dinner. Each varies in terms of prices and availability. I ordered the Moules Marinieres (Mussels) ($22) - 9/10. The mussels were delicious and the portion size was big enough to share as a snack for two. The mussels themselves were small so keep that in mind. I was also surprised that it didn't come with bread like most French inspired places do. The waiter did ask if we wanted bread, and I'm pretty sure there would've been an additional charge for it. Transparency would've been nice here. read more

What a great way to end a day of kayaking The Moules & Clams: Basque was perfection. Aromatic, tender and very generous. The broth was so savory with just the right balance of brine. I was tempted to pick up the bowl but luckily I had fries to soak it all up. The champagne was the cherry on top... over all sublime. Service was also flawless. read more

My friend and I decided to try this French red for breakfast. It's in the marina next to the water so you have a view if you choose. The waitress we had was great as well. I ordered the avocado toast which came with a side salad. Unfortunately, the side salad was so much better than the avocado toast. There wasn't much flavor to it so I doused it with salt. If I come again, I would try a different item on their menu u. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning most recently. Got seated right away inside but they also have some tables outside. I ordered the pork belly Benedict and was amazing I like the potato's instead of an English muffin. It didn't feel so heavy. The pork was tender and flavorful and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The salad was beautiful, fresh, and enjoyed the dressing. Everything was well balanced and felt like a perfect portion. Definitely will come back and always enjoy brunch here! read more

Came for Mother's day, and had a great meal - we'll be back. 1) Our server Paige was great - friendly, helpful, funny, and had great recommendations. 2) We got the french toast, a combo clams & mussells pot, fries, and drinks. Honestly, maybe the best french toast I've had; fluffy and delicious. Clams & mussells were also great. Next time I'd get bread instead of fries to soak up the broth. Pricing seemed fair for a place right on the water. 3) The restaurant was open to the outside, but overhead heaters kept the place warm without us getting toasted - rare to find, and really nice. One request: would be nice to have a changing table in the restroom. read more

Very welcoming once you enter. Service was awesome! Very personable and attentive throughout our meal. Food was delicious, seasoned just right and arrived hot and fresh! We had escargot, steamed clams & mussels and an opened face ham/cheese sandwich. We took our time eating and they never rushed us and always checked on our table regularly. My first time here and I will be back! It's a short drive from SF and on a nice day you can enjoy outdoor seating as well. Great experience all around! read more

Wonderful French restaurant by the water! We had the Marinière Moules, Open-Face Croque Monsieur (Madame), Truite Fumée Dip, and the Croquettes De Brandade. Textures and flavors were on point and servers were very attentive. Would definitely come again! read more

We've enjoyed dining here for years, but we now think we need another First Choice in the area. Too many "yes, but"s. Yes, the wine menu is extensive but most individual glasses are $18-$22. Yes, the service can be attentive and flawless but the staff can also be dismissive and just too busy for you (you know, very French). Yes, they usually have mussels -- two of us always get the bowl of mussels -- but recently it was way way way too salty. Yes, it is fabulous being at the marina but the noise volume inside the garage detracts from that leisurely calm. read more

This is a great spot by the water for authentic French food. We visited on a holiday weekend without a reservation, and luckily the staff was very accommodating and made room for us. Service was exceptional. We ordered the escargots, brioche croque madame, bouillabaisse, moules marinière, and frites. There was a bit of a wait for food due to the kitchen's capacity, but the wait was worth it. Everything was delicious! This was the best French food I've had since my last trip to France. The vibes were also very French. In fact, I heard more French being spoken than English here. read more

Seafood is FRESH! We ordered the Escargots Beurre Maître-d'Hôtel, Moules Marinières, Plateau d'Huítres and all of them went above and beyond our expectations! What we ate: Escargots Beurre Maître-d'Hôtel - Perfectly garlic-y! Everyone at the table had theirs, so we had to order a second round. The bread that was served with it was a perfect addition to scoop up the remaining sauce. Moules Marinières (Mussels with white wine) - The best dish to have on a chilly day in the bay! The warm white wine sauce was delicious and it was great to dip our bread in as well. Plateau d'Huítres (Oysters) - FRESH!! Tartare de Boeuf (Beef Tartare) - Our first time having beef tartare, but it exceeded our expectations from all of the youtube videos we had watched of food reviewers consuming it! The dish is super rich and has a delicate texture. Other notable mentions were the Cassoulet (Duck Confit) and the Steelhead (white fish). The Duck Confit was tasty, but the Steelhead, was just okay. Maybe I was looking forward to something a little more flavorful, as the fish did not absorb as much flavor, and was primarily carried by the sauce. Aside from the food, we experienced top-notch service, which was very quick and tentative. We had booked a reservation prior to coming and we actually arrived 20 minutes before our time slot, but they were able to seat us immediately. The food came out in a very timely fashion and we finished our meal without rush but what felt like a very short time. People brought their dogs to sit with them at the outdoor seating area, so I would assume that the restaurant is dog friendly! The restaurant is cleverly named since it was literally located within a garage with big garage doors with wide window panes, overlooking the marina. read more

I recently visited Le Garage with high expectations as I've visited this a handful of times. While the service was good, the food was a mixed bag. I ordered the burger, which was cooked fine but it lacked seasoning and was lack luster. I can't believe the fries were bland too! The salmon galette was also under-seasoned, and the flavors didn't quite come together. BUT, the chickpea fries were a game-changer! Crispy on the outside, soft tofu like texture on the inside, flavorful, and addictive. If you're a fan of chickpeas, you owe it to yourself to try these. Sadly we won't be coming here as a first choice in Sausalito anymore but it was a good run. read more

Our server was very personable and helpful. But the bottom line is that the menu and the food are uninspired and mediocre. Most of us had eggs benedicts. They were OK.

Great outdoor seating area looking at the boats. Duck confit was well done with perfectly tender meat. The chickpea fries were surprisingly excellent! So delicate. Escargots nicely done with garlic butter sauce. Service was attentive enough although drinks came out slowly. read more

I was really excited about this place based on the reviews but it was completely underwhelming. We made a reservation and were seated fairly quickly once we figured out how to get into the space. We ordered 6 oysters, the pork belly Benedict, the burger, and sliders for the baby. The oysters were small, super fishy, and each one had bits of shell that was hard to eat around. The Benedict was a strange combination of textures - I don't think the potato base really worked with the dish. Maybe if the pork belly was crispy or something, but it was all kinda mush on top of mush and didn't create a pleasant experience. The burger was ok, also kinda mushy and not too flavorful. The fries were ok and the drinks were fine. For the price point, I was expecting better flavor profiles tbh. The setting is cool so I'll give them that as it was nice seeing all the boats. read more

Came here for lunch as it was nearby, so glad I did! The french music playing in the restaurant was so fun! The salmon I ordered was so good it really hit the spot. Employees were all so nice and the view nearby is unbeatable. So glad I discovered this place, i'll be back soon! read more

Food: Adequate !!! Nothing special!! Food, presentation, quality needed a lot of work and improvement. ( we can not whip up ingredients for the Escargot and make it instantly). I could taste the fresh parsley taste in my mouth!!!!! Mixtures must be made ahead of time and kept well in the fridge and not forgetting the essential Liqueur ??? Desserts very limited !!! Service was attentive and courteous. Atmosphere and the ambiance was great. The whole experience was not as expected it just was nothing we find FRENCH, specially the FOOD. The value is in the high end !!! For 2 people for lunch, our check was in $300.00 including service. read more

Fantastic food ,the service excellent and location! Would go there every week if we could.

Not a busy day, lots of parking. The greeter was nice. When we sat down, we were told they were out of French toast. It's brunch so that was weird. No butter or jam for our toast. My friend's steak was under cooked. It had to go back to the kitchen. My salad had wilted leaves. The croquet madame said it came with peach jam. They said it was cooked with peach jam. We couldn't taste any peach. The pork belly was undercooked and not crispy too fatty. Service seems lacking. This is a great spot and the views are nice. Overall food was good, I was hungry. read more

Just had a really weird experience here tonight. Went for dinner with friends, ordered a bunch of stuff but the clams had sand in them which made them inedible. When we told the waiter he shrugged his shoulders and said that it's normal for the clams to have sand because they come from the sea and that the kitchen doesn't have time to soak and rinse them. Not sure if he thought he was being funny but when a waiter returns to the kitchen with a dish, largely untouched because of possible sand, the customary thing to do is to just apologize and take it off the bill. Not argue with the customer tableside trying to justify why there's sand in the food and then charge them for it. In an area bountiful of the best ingredients, food handling skill and customer service, the experience we had tonight was inexcusable. read more
