I thought I had already posted about Le Garage, but I had the occasion to go back and visit Le Garage recently so here goes. I had this tomato salad that was so lovely and light that it was perfect for a time when I didn't want a heavy meal making me tired after lunch. The service was excellent. The atmosphere is always enjoyable as people seem genuinely happy to be eating there. read more

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

Great food and service. We will go back. We would go more often if it wasn't so far away from our home. It's right near the water and you get the ocean view and air. And we love the food. read more

The food was pretty decent, tasted homemade but I felt like the eggs benedict could have a tad more flavor. The potatoes were amazing though. Service was fairly quick and the view was quite nice. You HAVE to pay $5 for valet parking if you drive there. read more

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

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

Uncomfortable chairs, dawdling service, packed and noisy, mediocre food, very expensive. It was a beautiful breezy day and we had a lovely view of the Bay, but I wouldn't go back. 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

Wonderful French toast! Comes with berries, a nice sauce, and is not too heavy or sweet.

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

We took our moms here for an early Mothers' day brunch on a sunny Sunday afternoon. We arrived almost an hour early and the host was thoughtful enough to try to seat us in a timely manner. Overall, the portions were generous, especially the mussels which were delicious and paired with some fries. The french toast made with brioche, topped with berry compote and creme fraiche was well balanced and not too sweet. Depending on your preference, the bellini was a little too strong for my taste, but that's probably a plus for others :) It was a good meal with a great view. In addition, I appreciate the convenient and super friendly valet service available. read more

Nice little restaurant by the water. Prices are reasonable. The food is good but nothing too special. Soup of the day (lobster bisque): this was yummy during a cold winter day. Especially since we were seated outside. Mussels: very fresh and flavorful. The wine sauce was delicious to dip bread and fries in. Croque madame: this was just ok. I wouldn't order again. Cheesy with very little ham. Burger: medium rare cooked perfectly. Really juicy throughout and the fries had a great crisp. Since we were seated outside, service was a little slow. The heater lamp also wasn't working too well so we were still cold. read more

Le Garage - P.E.I Mussels Marinire w/Fries, Burger and croque madame. - French Near Me - Sausalito, California

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

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

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

This is a beautiful restaurant for a fun Sunday brunch! I loved that it was right by the water and you got the view of the docked boats. The food was all exceptional - we ordered the grass fed burger and smoked salmon Benedict which we devoured lol I also ordered a glass of Bellini which was refreshing and perfect for the sunny day we had. I definitely want to come back! A great brunch spot in Sausalito read more

This charming little French bistro has beautiful views of the bay, French food made by real French people (the owner is a french native and he KNOWS how to cook), and quick, friendly service. It deserves much more than the 3.9 star rating it's been given, and I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal after a day of exploring the Bay Area. read more

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

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

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

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

Local establishment frequented quite often by family and friends. Reservations strongly recommended (you will be reminded of this upon visit). Outdoor seating is most ideal if you can request / grab with harbor views on a sunny day. The mussels, eggs benedict, salmon and mimosas are enjoyable. Waiters are friendly and quick to serve, however each time visited, we are rushed with our dining experience by the hostess. Depending on time of day (typically after noon time), the restaurant may run out of featured entrees, so it is recommended to book anytime before noon. Parking is located in a dedicated lot (do not park in permit parking spaces). Depending on time, season, parking can be free or parking attendants are available at a cost. read more

Le Garage - Mussels Provençal (a favorite) - French Near Me - Sausalito, California

Loved this place! We drove up here from San Francisco and were running a bit late. We called them and they were very accommodating for pushing our reservation out. We ordered the French toast. Sandwich, and the mussels! Everything came out pretty quickly and was very delicious. French toast: 4/5 -not as crispy as some places make it but it was so buttery and rich. The crème Fraiche on top really to help balance out the sweetness and went great with the raspberry preserves. The sandwich: 5/5 this was such an incredible sandwich. First off. I'm not a huge fan of sandwiches and I think bread can be kind of dry sometimes but this bread was so fluffy and soft. The pomegranate butter was so unique but it went well with all the rest of the sandwiches. Fries were good too but nothing spectacular. Mussels: 4/5 My boyfriend loved the mussels! They were very fresh! I wasn't used to it at first because maybe I've just been having over cooked mussels my whole life but they were so soft! I felt like the sauce could have been a bit saltier or more flavorful but overall the portions were very generous and it was very worth the experience. read more

Came here on an overcast afternoon for lunch with my family. It has some of the highest ratings in town. We wanted to get the soup of the day but it was sold out at 1pm. Pain bagnat - This felt like a deli salad on a sandwich. It's a cold sandwich and you got to love anchovies and olives to enjoy this. It was nice to try once but I want to try something hot next time. Hamburger - At nearly $20, as my dad said, "this better be a damn good burger." And it was! My brother and I decided to get 2 tuna sandwiches because it seemed more unique, but we should have ordered one tuna sandwich and one burger to share halves of each. This is one of the best tasting burgers I've had while dining out. Despite its seemingly basic ingredients on the menu, I think the seasoning is the star of the show. We got it medium rare and it was cooked correctly. House Lemonade - You can tell this was fresh squeezed, not from a box or anhthing. Tart and delicious. If it's too sour, you can ask for sugar (in the raw brand). Kombucha - Washed down the food we had. Very sour and had a slight buzz. Service was decent and the theme of the shop is unique. You get a view by the water. It can be a bit cramped inside but overall it was nice to try a popular business in the area. read more

Great ambiance, good service and food in a very casual setting away from the hustle and bustle!

A unique restaurant in Sausilito! Tucked away in the marina dock area is this quaint and delicious french bistro style restaurant! Parking: Came here on the Saturday after Black Friday. Surprised to not see this place packed or the general town crowded. They have a dedicated parking area (follow the signs once in the parking lot). Do not park in the PERMIT only spaces. Other yelpers said they have valet parking if it is crowded etc, but I cannot speak to that. I was extra cautious and decided to park near the residential area and take the 7 minute walk to the restaurant. Easy walk, but this is an option for those days when the lot is full/packed. Ambiance: Near the marina dock...great view and perfect spot to dine al fresco. They provide heaters, are dog friendly and have both outdoor and indoor areas. The space in general is quite open. They also can provide umbrellas for shade when the sun is fully out. Food: Friend made a ressy online so we had no issues seating our party of 6. The food was great and very filling (carb heavy). The jamon sandwich was a great combo and a good solid choice imo. Price is fair for the general area in Sausilito. Service: It was OK, nothing really over the top but got the job done. read more

I know I like a place when during the meal, I Google the recipe of the food I'm eating so I can figure out how I can recreate it at home. That was the case for the Crispy Panisse, garlicky chickpea fries that were so much better than their potato cousins, again proving that the French know what's up when it comes to good food. We had the burger and fried chicken sandwich and both were done well. I know that sounds boring for a French bistro but Le Garage serves some simple but well executed food. I thoroughly enjoyed the Kir Royal, sparkling wine with raspberry cassis. It was the perfect drink to have while sitting outside enjoying the view of boats docked on the marina. read more

Le Garage is one of the absolute best restaurants in Marin, or really, The Bay. The food is exquisite. The location beautiful. Staff is over the top. Of course on a nice day sitting by the water with incredible views is delightful. But even when the weather is dark & rainy, Le Garage becomes a sexy, charming bistro. read more

My boyfriend and I went here for our anniversary dinner, and we had such a lovely time. The server, Jann (I hope I'm spelling this correctly), was phenomenal. He had the best wine recommendations and was very friendly. Le Garage is a popular spot so I recommend using Yelp's reservation system. They don't write what items are gluten-free on their menu, but I called and left a voicemail, and they called me back within two days. They informed me that there were a variety of gluten-free options. I ended up having the duck & my boyfriend had the risotto. We loved it! (I definitely preferred the risotto). We also had the tapioca fries which were delicious. read more

Super cute restaurant, tucked away in the pier, behind buildings that look abandoned. As you drive through parking lot after parking lot, you will eventually see this adorable place that resembles something like a shipping container, hence the name Le Garage I suppose! We came early at 10am on a Saturday morning and was seated almost immediately. We got the blood orange mimosa which was refreshing and delicious. I got the croque madame and the bread was thick and toasted (or baked) to perfection with slightly burnt crisps at the edges. It had a layer of melted cheese and ham in the middle with a perfect over-easy egg on top. My friend ordered the French toast with berry compote. The bread ended up being a little soggy, pudding like, but the flavors all came together beautifully. I enjoyed the view here. You can see the mountains that is tiberon and belvedere and the waters that are filled with little yachts. This restaurant is super dog friendly, they even bring out little water bowls for them. How nice :) I'l definitely be coming back. Thanks for the lovely experience Le Garage! read more
