Fantastic menu! My wife says Jarod is the best host in California -- and I agree. He went out of his way to help us find the place and even helped us park. The food is unbelievable. Sausalito always makes me happy, but this place truly rocks! Oh, and the shrimp omelet is the way to go -- a generous portion of pure deliciousness. They even got us in under the wire; Jarod took our order while we were still walking to our table. Top-notch service all around! read more

I often take my out of town friends to Le Garage as it's one of my favorite lunch places but also great for dinner as well. I particularly enjoy their grass fed burgers and Salad Nicoise. Their pommes frites are great too! Service is always prompt. read more

The parking situation was ok. We were seated right away but we had a reservation, the place is cozy and nice, the servers were really busy, they were doing the best they could but the service was not as quick we had to wait a few times so they could see we needed help. The food was great but the portions were very small for the price, also if you are going for brunch the brunch menu is very limited. The drinks we ordered were really good as well. read more

Superb-compliments abound. Excellent King Trumpet Mushroom Omelette. A masterpiece by the new chef!

It was a perfect day to sit by the marina. The service was good as was the food although the en croute of the escargot soaked up all of the garlic butter leaving none to soak the escargots in. read more

Great food and friendly people. Had french toast and steak and eggs. Our orders were superb. Hope to find the same if not similar french toast. The location is totally free from the hustle and bustle of the tourist. Relaxing and cool!!! read more

Le Garage - French toast and steak and eggs - French Near Me - Sausalito, California

The food is always very good at Le Garage. The surroundings are beautiful, especially on a warm, clear Sausalito night. My husband and I were looking forward to dinner during restaurant week. Because I have some food allergies, I called the restaurant about the special restaurant week menu and was told that accommodations could be made. Before going to dinner, we also called the restaurant to see if substitutions could be made by swapping an item from one menu to the other, and we were told, yes, we could do that. When we got to the restaurant for dinner, it was a totally different story. No, my dietary needs could not be met and furthermore, not only could we not get an item from the à la carte substituted for an item on the prix fixe menu, but the whole table had to choose either one menu or the other. And, we were not told in a particularly nice or understanding way. So, firstly, restaurants need to be more aware of dietary needs. And, secondly, promises should not be made that cannot be kept. And, because the server was not particularly sensitive or friendly, it turned what should have been a very nice evening into a trying situation. read more

Had lunch at Le Garage today. My friend and I like sitting at the small bar. The bartenders are always friendly as is all the staff. We had the lardons frisée salad (nicely done with diced apple as well as the bacon bits and poached egg) and moules marinieres (overcooked and on the small side but with the usual garlicky wine broth) with French fries and aioli. There is now a $5 fee for valet parking in the restaurant parking lot. All in all a pleasant place in an exceptional spot with sailboats, yachts and bay views. Be sure to walk along the water's edge to the small beach, the community garden for the folks living on the houseboats and Dunphy Park. Have coffee at the Equator Café on Bridgeway. Scenic! read more

Definitely been here before and had really liked it. This time I wasn't as happy. I was visiting with an old beau who is in the food industry and we were definitely taking our time. The food wasn't bad. It was pretty good: mussels and frites, sautéed green beans and a burger. I guess what struck me as incorrect was that as we were finishing our lunch the server was nowhere to be found, and none of the other servers would actually meet our attention. They just kept walking by us not looking and no one came to tell us that our server was off the floor , I think that's poor service. If you're going on your break, tell your table, introduce the other server that's going to help them. Instead, we were sitting there trying to find somebody for some more water or some more napkins; our check. And everyone else that wasn't our server, seemed to be put out by us asking for attention. read more

Fell in love with Le Garage. The food is really good and it has that classic French Bistro vibe. Brunch is a highlight for sure. French toast was amazing, steak and eggs were great too. The house lemonade tastes freshly squeezed and the blood orange mimosas are great. Only downside was service being a bit slow, especially when it got busy. Overall a great spot and definitely worth checking out. read more

It is always delicious and you really feel like your on vacation in the south of France . The service is stellar and friendly.

Food is always amazing. They still have a kids menu with a good selection. I had the steak and eggs and the kids had French toast and grilled cheese. The mussels is always my favorite item. They give a generous portion. We lucked out with getting a table without a wait on a Sunday! read more

The food was exceptional. As was the service. And they allow dogs at their outside seating. My waiter brought my Bruno a bowl of water and a carafe to refill it. read more

Beautiful location on the water for a casual lunch. I bought my friend who was visiting from NYC to Le Garage after reading reviews & seeing pictures of it's pretty & serene location overlooking the boat marina. We started our meal with light beverages (my friend had an Aperol Spritz & I had a mimosa) and mussels with pommes frites. The mussels were perfectly cooked & the white wine sauce was light & delicate & was also good for dipping the fries. For our main meal, I had the Brioche Croque Madam & my friend had the Pain Bagnat. My sandwich was perfect & the light side salad was a nice, healthy option. My friend said that her sandwich was very good. We skipped dessert because we were too full. Service was friendly & helpful, checked in on us often. They have a private parking lot which is very convenient. read more

Really nice and food was great. The clientele was iffy. One group let there kids run wild. Really annoying people. Servers were great. Really 4 adults and 4 children and the adults did nothing about the rude noisy kids. Ruined the day since the tables are tucked in too close. If it had been all adults - but the adults were loud and rude too. Oh well. Good was excellent read more

Le Garage - French Near Me - Sausalito, California

Well, my wife and I decided to go to Le Garage tonight because it's a beautiful evening, and with fall starting, there won't be many more like it this year. We've been there many times in the past with some wonderful and some not-so-great dinners there! Tonight, we arrived at a bit after 6pm, and for a Friday, the place looked pretty busy. The owner/host? Greeted us by asking if we had a reservation, to which we responded, "No". It seemed to take him a bit to decide if he would seat us, but finally did, at table 1 - the first banquet table, under the long mirror hanging above us. That's one of the reasons we like to sit at those tables, because even if your back is to the Bay/boats in the harbor, the customer facing the wall has a huge mirror to use to watch the boats (and other customers!) So, our server asked us if we wanted water, which we did, and he or someone served the water. Then we didn't see our server for awhile, probably because he had just had a large party (10-12) seated in his section, and had other parties he was also serving. Our server finally showed up and asked if we wanted drinks (wine, and possibly beer only), and we each ordered a drink, which once again, took a long time to be served. Then we waited (and waited!) for our server to come and take our dinner order, which he finally did (again, it appeared to me that there were an inadequate number of servers available on a very busy Friday night!). Are salad was served in a bowl (we were splitting a "Little Gem" salad). We both looked around the table and in the salad bowl, but could find no serving utensils to use to dish out our salad, and no one, including our server, offered to serve it, so I loaned my wife my dinner fork so she could serve herself (how much harder/how much extra time would it have taken the chef/cook staff to split the salad in two salad plates? Service? What service? And the lettuce consisted of full lettuce leave, instead of those leaves being cut into smaller bite-sized pieces by kitchen staff before serving the salad! And for $16, the profit margin was stratospheric! My wife always want to go to LeGarage for their Duck Confit, which up until tonight, were mostly really good, well prepared, falling off the bone good! Tonight, another staff person saw my wife having great difficulty cutting the meat from the duck leg bone, and was kind enough to provide her with a very sharp steak knife, which she then used, but still had a great amount of difficulty getting the meat off the bone. And although she didnt say anything, I could see that the meat was very dry, almost as if the leg had been cooked days earlier, re-heated multiple times, and put back in the fridge! Mall that for $36! My two dishes, baked oysters (4), $20, and Tabouleh De Crevettes (4 sauted prawns) $22, were good but inadequate for me as an entre. Then, we had to wait to get our check, because our server was wine tasting with the 4 customers next to us. Apparently they were trying to impress him with the two different bottles of wine they had brought to the restaurant. Our server never asked if we would like desert or coffee. Our not so great food and service at LeGarage tonight cost us $170.00!!! To say the least, a disappointing meal at LeGarage!!! read more

We've been wanting to eat here for a while. I'm so glad we finally did! Now, it will have to be in our rotation for sure! Very busy place, so prepare. The atmosphere is so very cool! See pics. Their food is really good! Servers are a bit overwhelmed, but aim to please! It has a nice vibe, good food & we recommend coming here. My family will be coming back soon to have their mussels! read more

Great brunch spot with good menu options. Definitely the best bang for your buck is the burger - it's huge and comes with a ton of fries. I got the mussels with fries which were also good. Others in my group had the salmon crepe which they enjoyed. My only issue is that you can only valet park on the weekend here and the lot is small so you'll have to wait to valet park. read more

I came by to have lunch here with my family last July and had a mediocre experience. There wasn't a lot of parking available around. It was very busy when we came by for lunch and we waited over an hour. The restaurant is nearby a marina and small beach, the area is cute and picturesque. Since we waited over an hour which was longer than our initial estimate, the host/possible manager who was taking names down told us we'd get our drinks on the house which was really nice of them to offer. I ordered the sandwich au poulet (chicken breast, basil goat cheese, piquillo peppers, butter lettuce, artichoke pesto, ciabatta bun, kennebec fries for $19) and a mimosa. The chicken in the sandwich was dry and my sandwich mostly tasted like goat cheese. The ciabatta bun was light and crisp. The fries were generously portioned but I asked for a side of aioli to dip them in since they were plain. My mimosa was perfectly fine. When the check came, we were charged for our drinks despite being told they'd be on the house. Our waitress went to check with the man who took our names down/offered the comped drinks. She told us he claimed he hadn't said that and we must have misheard him, but they did comp a glass of champagne. Our waitress did her best to handle the situation nicely even though it wasn't her fault. Overall, I wouldn't return and haven't since then. The vibes are nice but the food didn't warrant the long wait. The incident with our drinks also put a bad taste in my mouth. read more

I used to visit Le Garage a lot when I was in Marin County. It's been quite a while since I move to Sonoma County. This visit was the best yet. First of all the restaurant was all open with great access to the boats and the Bay. Having no walls made it much easier to hear each other talk. I started with a glass of Sancerre Pinot Noir. Mmmmm... Then half a dozen oysters, and share one. Ooooh... Then shared half the escargot. Ahhhhh.... Then had a rare rib eye steak with frite. Smile... And shared two different desserts. Nap time... A walk to the car and an easy drive home. But I have to say the highlight of the meal was our server, Lavelle. It's so nice to have someone with great people skills AND deep knowledge of each item on the menu and the ingredients. Wonderful ambience and view with good food and great service. It doesn't get any better than this! read more

Key Points: - beautiful view - delicious food - first time having chickpea fries Came here for brunch during the Little One's Birthday weekend. The place had a beautiful view by the water. Though we sat inside because it was cold. Our server was funny, polite, and attentive. Plus he wore a mechanic-like uniform. Trying to stay true to a garage theme? The Goods: - Chickpea fries. Must try it. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. Not quite a "French fry" texture, but still delicious - Quiche Lorraine. Flaky crust. Soft savory center. Only wished it was a bit bigger. - croque madame. Added $2 for the egg. Can't have have breakfast/brunch without an egg dish! The coffee wasn't all that special to me. They have espresso drinks, so the coffee was actually an americano. Definitely not a specialty single origin pour over, if you're into that. Still, it gets your caffeine fix in. Definitely a must try in this city. We'll come again and sit outside when it's warmer. read more

Le Garage - Eggs Benedict and French Toast - French Near Me - Sausalito, California

I went with family many months ago and ordered mussels and I ate about half there was no s asinine in the mussels at all! I'am used to mussels that have some garlic or some type of seasoning? No seasoning! Also, my brother, asked for bread all around and there was five people. They only brought about five pieces of bread? I will never return and I grew up in Sausalito from 7-15 1/2 years old. Went to the trident all the time and Zacks, parents knew the owners and they were fun places to go to so was "The Kettle"! I bet no one even remembers Leo gorcey who owned that fantastic Deli next to "Marin Fruit Company"! read more

Le Garage is a favorite of mine where I've eaten at a few times. I recently visited and was a bit disappointed. My friend and I have made it our annual pre-christmas brunch spot. I always order the eggs Benedict and a coffee. This year we shared the French toast as a dessert in addition to the Benedicts. First of all, we were seated in the outside covered area but there were tables inside that appeared empty. ‍ Our server felt rushed and kept checking on us. She felt a bit abrasive, too. Like she was over her job and had a forced smile. Maybe she was having a bad day. I was still able to enjoy my friend's company! I think the most disappointing aspect was the food. It seems like the quality and portions have gone down. I remember the Benedict being fresher and tastier, as well, the French toast looked significantly smaller. The location is cute! You can't beat bay side, on a pier, with parking. I really hope this was a fluke and that it's not a sign of the restaurant declining or going out of business. That would be sad. read more

Food not as good as it used to be. In particular, the muscles were tiny and dried up and our salads were just OK. I had to remember this place being quite delicious. read more

I'm really sad they changed the cut of meat for the steak frites (it's now ribeye). They used to have a really yummy frisee salad as well that I haven't seen on the menu in a while. It's also always noisy inside with the loud music. Not sure if we'll be back. read more

A bit torn on this one. Some aspects were great, others not, but rounding down since our brunch came out to be $$$. Unless you have a parking permit, you basically have to do valet parking ($5 + tip). We arrived late around 2 PM, but we still had to wait a good 15 minutes or so for the valet since there is only one guy working the lot by himself. Host was funny and pleasant, and our server was great. We got an outdoor, dog friendly table, and the server was really sweet with our dog and got our dog a water bowl (though it was a bit dirty, but oh well). I loved my Omelette au Canard Confit, which I got without goat cheese. The duck was divine, but the roasted potatoes that came with it was unbearable to me, drenched in butter or something. My husband liked the side of frites maison and the mixed greens that came with his dish, but not the Croque Madame itself. So many other reviewers seem to recommend the Croque Madame or Monsieur, but his bread was really tough and didn't taste great together; maybe he had a bad one. Even though we weren't checked in on that frequently since they got really busy, we got our food quickly, which is what matters! Too bad not all the food was equally as good... read more

My party of 6 was able to get a table as a walk-in on a Wednesday afternoon. It is located at a lovely boatyard. Parking is more heavily regulated over the summer. Overpriced for average food. Just FYI, the portions are not meant to share. The best item we had was the beignets de morue. Everything else was not memorable and I would not recommend ordering: pain bagnat (first time having raw tuna in a sandwich), oysters (so tiny and the plain sauce did not make up for their size), bouillabaisse, bavette (a bit salty), frites maison (nothing special)...Service was decent. Wish we had the same experience as others have mentioned. read more

Decided on Le Garaje as our lunch spot while visiting Sausalito for the day. It's tucked away in a nice location by the water, with plenty of heaters outside to keep you warm. As we were walking there, the streets were empty, so when we reached the restaurant, we were surprised to see it packed with people. Despite this, we were seated instantly inside. I would recommend making a reservation or calling ahead though if you have a larger group. I went with the jambon sandwich as I wanted something a little more filling. It was delicious but definitely heavy. The bread was moist and soaked with oil. The fries were also freshly fried and very hot and crispy. I saw that tables around us ordered mussels which came in a huge delicious looking portion. Would definitely order those next time if I were to revisit. Service was efficient and prices were quite fair considering the location. Note: I don't think they allow dogs inside. read more

Le Garage - Sandwich au Jambon - French Near Me - Sausalito, California

Le Garage is one of my favorite brunch places in Sausalito. It's away from the touristy areas of downtown, but still on a pretty marina. The food is fantastic. It really reminds of me of having brunch or lunch in a cafe in France. My favorites: * Oeufs Bénédicte au Saumon fumée (smoked salmon, tarragon hollandaise, English muffin, and roasted potatoes) * Sandwich au Jambon Roti (ham leg, fourme d'ambert, pears, watercress, and pomegranate butter) * Canard Confit (duck leg confit, rosemary garlic potatoes, and maple gastrique) * Panisse (garlic rosemary chickpea fries, fleur de sel, and harissa aïoli) The portions are generous. The host and waitstaff are attentive. The ambiance is relaxing. Merci beaucoup et on se revoit bientôt! read more
