A wonderful open-air venue located off the beaten path on Stenmark Drive in Point Richmond. This spot has gone through many iterations from cafe to bbq and now a cozy outdoor patio offering a changing menu of seafood, "pizzas", lamb burger, limited brunch items and light fare. Be sure to look at the menu and pics from the last month as no fried calamari and wood-fired pies...something we were looking forward to. A little disappointed as the "pizza" ordered was more of a sourdough bread with crumbs of sausage. Yeah you had to look for it and minimal on flavor. Skip for me Items ordered and delicious : :: Yucatán stew - flavors of a tortilla soup with mussel, salad shrimp, fish, onions and poblano pepper in a light tomato-based sauce with a slight kick. Thin strips of fried tortilla on top. 4/5 stars. No bread or crostini offered :: Fish and Chips - light and nicely fried rockfish with thin fries (I prefer a thicker cut) and vinegar based cole slaw - 4/5 stars :: Harbor chowder - rockfish in a light, thin yet flavorful broth (doesn't rely on flour or cream) - 4/5 stars Service was friendly and attentive. Arrived at 11am and started getting busier by 1130...music offered in the evening. Relaxing and chill spot. East Brother Beer Company is across the way (20 steps) but not open during day. Plenty of drink options (Wine, Fieldwork, Almanac, East Brother Beer) available including non-alcoholic. One bathroom nearby but if you walk down the path there are other unisex restroom (thank goodness not port-a-potties!) for the public and tenants so you're not standing in a line! Short walk along the rugged shoreline and path you'll see some Playa Art (refuge for Burning Man sculptures). I'm always impressed with the massive art and detail that go into these pieces...definitely a labor of love. Also, you'll see these large osprey nests perched atop pilings and utility poles along the water that you rarely see...gotta love nature! :) Overall, a great spot for a special event, drinks, music and bites. I hope they offer calamari and wood-fired pizzas again and check when they have a Fall 2026 menu. Last exit before you get to the San Rafael toll booths. Signage to direct you along the windy 2-lane road. Plenty of free lot parking. Bring a jacket as it can get a little chilly under the covered patio. Heat lamps available Note: Receipt notes a 3% Environmental Fee - independent surcharge added to bills to offset packaging costs, fund carbon-offset programs, or cover local green mandates. read more

Met up with a longtime friend from SF (who was blown away about the location) at Sailing Goat and had one of those afternoons that just worked out perfectly. As a Richmond local, I've spent a decent of time chasing real good beer and comfort food around the Bay, and this place delivered. We started with my favorite cucumber salad and a couple Fieldwork IPAs (the regular West Coast IPA, not hazy). Then came the fish & chips. Honestly, fish (unless it is extraordinary) doesn't usually get me excited, but this was the standout. The batter was light, crispy, and steaming hot, with two good-sized pieces of fish per order. Add lemon and malt vinegar and it was game over. The fries were great, too, but the fish was the surprise. In fact, I liked it so much I ordered a second plate. At $28, it's more of a treat than a habit, but when I find great fish & chips, I'm all in. The setting doesn't hurt, either. Sitting above Point San Pablo Harbor with the boats gently rocking below is about as relaxing as Richmond gets. Then Los Bahianatos!! started playing cumbia and completely won over the crowd. Before long people were happy & dancing and sticking around longer than they probably planned. Good beer, great fish & chips, live music, and a waterfront view. Hard to complain about any of that. read more

A hid gem! This is a perfect spot to gather with friends and family. Nestled in the cove of the point Richmond bay, surrounded by larger than life burning man art and serenaded with bands to entertain while the sun sets off the water and boats glide by. The food was delicious and there was at least one dish for all dietary needs. The dessert selection was on point. As a group of nine We enjoyed the selection and wines. Service was attentive and helpful. read more

The whole super-casual-outdoor-dining-on-picnic-tables-near-the -marina vibe is great, but both times I've come to the Sailing Goat, the staff seem to be overwhelmed, which unfortunately affects the experience. It's hard to feel welcomed when I just feel their stress energy. The last visit was on Mother's Day (we were prepared to be patient and wait). We expected to be able to order drinks and hang out in the sun while we waited for our tables. That could not happen since we were told that the staff were too overwhelmed to handle extra drink orders. When we found out that the only drinks available were in cans, that was particularly annoying. The timing of the food was a fail. My daughter finished her Mac and Cheese before multiple other people got their food. Plus the serving was too small to be in the entree section. She and my husband, both left feeling hungry and had to eat when they got home. I was happy with my quinoa salad that was filling and delicious. It was also nice to have live music. If it's not a warm weekend day, maybe things are better but then, why go? read more

If you're ever craving a fish and chips dish with an amazing outdoor view, then this is the spot! This place is amazing for kids to run around and play on the massive swing and there's so much to see! There is outdoor seating only so make sure to dress accordingly or go during good weather. Food was delicious but service took forever to come out. The beers and cider are nice to have while you wait for your food. This is amazing place to socialize and just take in the fresh air. There was a baby shower celebration happening next to the eating area so looks like that can be also be reserved for parties or celebrations which is nice. We'd definitely love to come back one day! read more

Great food My son-in-law and I both had fish and chips which was pretty good! They do have malt vinegar. You just have to request it. I also had their chowder of the day, which was really good! It was made with rockfish. My daughter had the bouillabaisse and that was really good. I wish I had ordered that! The only complaint was it's a long way to get there from the exit! This of course is beyond their control! I would go while the light is still out. Do not go after dark because the roads to the restaurant are not lighted! Would definitely go again, but while there's still sunlight out, lol! read more

Date night at this little gem was special and food was amazing. It is somewhat a little eerie driving through the windy road but once you reach the end, its very sweet and cozy spot. The dining area is outdoor so come prepared with a jacket just in case however, if you don't have one or your date is at arms length away, you can adjust the heater to your liking. Caesar Salad - i love me a fresh crispy salad and this def satisfied that Fish and Chips - HUGE tender pieces of fish and my favorite, fries Brazilian Fish Stew - Great flavor, lots of fresh seafood Service was great, food was amazing. We were stuffed after our meal but luckily this place is located along a pier. We walked off our meal and admired the art installations on the open grass area. read more

Stopped in for lunch on a weekday with nice weather. This place is kind of off the beaten path behind Chevron but has pretty nice views. Been meaning to try this place after seeing it pop on Eater and an article on sfgate. The menus are seasonal so they have a pretty good rotation of food. Ending up ordering the brandade app and splitting both the fish and chips and harbor chowder with the wife. The fish and chips were good, highlight of the meal. Not surprising considering from what I've read, it's what they've become known for. Other 2 however were lacking. Brandade and chowder were both lacking in flavor, eating pretty bland. If you're looking for a place with a decent view and good fish and chips this place may be worth considering. However considering how remote it is and pricey it can be, I'd probably rather make the trek over to Sausalito. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a couple of years now since seeing reels of them on IG being hyped up. Located at the tip of Point Richmond on the other side of the Chevron refinery. Getting here is quite an adventure since it's out ofand off the beaten path. The road is bumpy, narrow, winding, unkempt and plenty of potholes. Be prepared to move at the edge of the road when you encounter another vehicle going the opposite direction. It's a secluded place right on the waterfront with a small community of charming boathouses. They certainly have a great view of the bay. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon, but the place was busy and had a musician playing on stage. It's definitely a whimsical place and dog friendly. The dining area is outdoors covered under a tin roof of steel/metal structure. Service was very welcoming and quite accommodating. We were initially seated near the entrance and were moved to the main dining area once it became available. We ordered a Brandade - $17 (Local Rockfish, Onion, Potatoes, Garlic, Cream and Crostini), Harbor Chowder - $14, Pizza Romana - $22 (House made sourdough w/ meat), Fish & Chips - $28 (Local Fish, French Fries and Tartar Sauce) and Richmond's own East Brother Oatmeal Stout for some libation. Everything looked good and my expectations were high. But when it came to tasting them, the flavors were surprisingly lacking and became a one note experience. A monotone of chewing without enjoyment. The best-tasting dish we had was the Fish and Chips - deep fried and seasoned appropriately. And the beer was excellent...thank goodness. But the rest were just bland to meh. The crostini were too hard; the pizza was too bready and unappetizing, and the chowder was too watery. I believe their menu is seasonal and rotating so perhaps a return visit would be a different experience. I hope, since I was looking forward to trying their Calamari, which sadly, was not on the menu. On this trip, the place didn't live up to the hype. read more

Food, service and ambience cannot be beat at this restaurant. It is one of our favorite spots, almost like traveling through time. We have enjoyed weekend brunches, with live music, All of which would've been wonderfully enjoyable, even if the food weren't as fantastic as it is. Nice simple menu of all the things you would want. Service is fantastic, especially our waiter, Otto! We have also been to concerts and danced while watching the sunset over the bay and the moon rise over the hills. This is a hidden gem. read more

Sat on the bar/water, had fish and chips and a bowl of chowder. The fish was fresh, crispy, flaky, loved the batter and rockfish. The chowder was flavorful and unique/ delicious and from scratch. Boats in the marina, sunshine, a drink- great afternoon hangout spot! read more

Sailing Goat Restaurant - Fish and Chips, Calm Chowder - Seafood Near Me - Richmond, California

What a fun restaurant! I stopped by Sailing Goat for a late lunch with friends after a group sauna session at nearby good hot. It feels like the restaurant is in the middle of nowhere, but it is adjacent to the San Pablo sailing docks. We were lucky to stop by on a gorgeous sunny and unseasonably warm February day. there was live music playing, and the staff were in good spirits. The menu is not extensive, but it has plenty of options for every taste. I was very happy with my quiche and salad. The salad in particular seem to be composed of super fresh and just picked veggies. Portion sizes were generous. I also enjoyed a bite of my friend's fish and chips, which was super flaky and fresh. That portion was massive with three huge pieces of fried fish and a huge pile of crispy shoestring fries with tartar sauce. I also enjoyed my can of cider, which was dry and refreshing. Highly recommended! read more

This was my first time visiting The Sailing Goat, and honestly, I wish I had gone sooner. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. The location is beautiful--right on the water at Point San Pablo--with plenty of parking and outdoor seating to enjoy the views. Every dish was a hit. The salad was fresh and incredibly crunchy, with some of the best croutons I've had in a long time. My favorite was the seafood stew; it was rich, flavorful, and packed with perfectly cooked seafood. The fish and chips were also excellent--light, flaky, and crispy without being greasy or soggy. We enjoyed all of our drinks as well. The service was quick, friendly, and genuinely helpful. From start to finish, everything felt easy and welcoming. The whole experience was perfect: great food, beautiful weather, waterfront views, and outstanding service. I can already tell this is going to become one of my favorite spots to bring friends and family when they're visiting from out of town. Skip the crowded tourist traps and come here for delicious seafood and a relaxing waterfront experience. read more

The Sailing Goat is an amazing spot with breathtaking views of the bay. The service was outstanding--our party arrived a little late, but the staff graciously seated us without any issue. The atmosphere was just as impressive as the food, and we were treated to live jazz during our meal. As a fun surprise, we discovered that the saxophonist lives next door to my niece! The food did not disappoint. We ordered the seafood stew, fish and chips, and the lamb burger, and every dish was delicious. The beautiful weather made it the perfect day to relax at the harbor and enjoy the stunning waterfront views. We can't wait to come back! read more

Came here over the summer and thought it was such a cute restaurant by the water! I had been seeing Sailing Goat all over social media and wanted to see what the hype was about, and it did not disappoint! It's a little bit of a trek to get here in the car, winding and narrow roads to be aware of. But once you're in the clear and can see the parking lot, it's all worth it! It looks like all seating is outside on a deck (please correct me if I'm wrong). A portion of their kitchen is open and facing the deck, so it's nice to see the chefs cooking and the servers come out with your food. Our server that day was super friendly and patient with us as we made our indecisive selections. My cousin and I ordered the roasted spring chicken, fish and chips, and the harbor chowder. Everything was so delicious! Loved all the seafood in the soup! The fish had a light and crispy batter to it that was to die for! And the roasted spring chicken was light, protein packed, and refreshing. I believe we had a seasonal berry drink that they were serving at the time (nonalcoholic). It was sooooo good! Such a wonderful meal in a beautiful location! Highly, highly recommend! read more

Jenny and Edwin were my servers and they were absolutely wonderful. They had smiles. They were informative. They explained things on the menu they were able to get me a little extra salad dressing with that prompting they were very Service connected and oriented. I have been coming here for years and it's one of the greatest secrets in the Eastbay of San Francisco. If you wanna feel like you've gone somewhere truly unique this is the place. I remember it and its first and second incarnation and this third has elevated at one more level. I think it's absolutely wonderful here you cannot beat the views and the people that work here are so nice and the food is really beautiful to look at. And the prices are reasonable for the ambience. I think this is absolutely a date place or it could be your place, but it is a very special place for everyone. Children and pets are welcome and seating is all outdoors covered and protected from the wind. And it sits right on the marina with the Bay to your back, it's just gorgeous here. My wife agrees with me that this now is our spot. Our go to place when we want to getaway sit and have beautiful views nice people around us and just relax and let it all go. Also look into music events that are held down there too. It's a community that is unique. read more

Great views and places to walk our dogs while waiting to be seated. A very unsuspecting place because you have to drive down a long road near the refineries to get to the point... and I definitely asked my husband if this is where he was going to murder me. There's great art installations in the open field next to the restaurant and a great little beach across from the house boats. We ordered the fish and chips and were not disappointed. Probably some of the crunchiest yet not too over-battered fish and chips I've ever had. Expect a wait on the weekends especially if the weather is nice. But definitely worth the drive read more

Super cute spot right on the water, just off the last exit of the Richmond San Rafael Bridge. All outdoor seating, good food, free parking, and the cleanest porta potty I've ever seen! We went early and caught a live band setting up as we were leaving, so yes, they do live music too. Service was friendly but a little too eager. We were catching up with friends and our waiter kept checking in every few minutes. Still, the food was great and the view was amazing. If you want a chill spot with waterfront vibes and good eats, check this place out. You'll love it! read more

The quinoa arugula salad was hella good. Fish and chips is a must. Kids loved the fries. They're picky with their fries. They know what they like and they like shoe string sized fries. The Mac n cheese was delicious. Love the environment. Right by the water, so the view is beautiful. Beer, good food, and a chill spot. Definitely will be back again. Was there twice in a week I loved it so much. Bring a jacket. Will get a bit cold. They also have heat lamps too. Waiters were attentive and pleasant. read more

Sailing Goat Restaurant - The quinoa arugula salad was hella good. Fish and chips is a must. Mac n cheese was delish. - Seafood Near Me - Richmond, California

First the food is good but on the more expensive side for basic food. We been there previous times and only problem was the wait for a table. You can't get reservations unless its a table for 8. So we went to see a band play sitting at the table a couple of hours. The waiter then came over to tell us they needed the table for other guest. Ok but you never brought us our bill. He stood there telling us they need the table staring at us where we had to explain we need to pay the bill first. I am not kidding he seemed to be lost not understanding you bring the bill so the people can pay. It took another 5 minutes plus for him to bring us the bill. They need to retrain the waiter on proper manners and how to speak to customers. We will not be back if you hire people that have no people skills. read more

This place is really tucked away in Point San Pablo Harbor...so much so that the drive there might make you question whether there's even a restaurant at the end of the road. But sure enough, a really cute spot by the marina stands the Sailing Goat. We arrived around 11am on a Sunday, which was perfect timing. It wasn't too busy yet, but by the time it got closer to lunch, the line outside started building up. I'd recommend coming a bit earlier and drive carefully on the way in lol We were seated within about 10 minutes and had menus in hand while we waited. The main reason I'm giving this place 3 stars is the ambience. Sitting outside next to the water, al fresco, is always a win for me. As for the food, it was honestly pretty average. I did learn that their menu changes from time to time, so experiences may vary depending on what's offered. Here's what we tried: Mackerel Tin Spread (8/10): Served straight from a sardine tin, but dressed up with arugula, bell pepper salsa, and buttery toasted sourdough. Tasty, though a bit overpriced for what it was. Mimosa (9/10): Exactly what a mimosa should be, no complaints. Fish and Chips (8/10): The batter was light, buttery, and delicious. It might come across as salty to some, but I enjoyed it. The fish was fresh, tartar sauce tasted house-made, but the fries and ketchup were pretty standard. Seafood Stew (3/10): Described as spicy, but it had zero kick. While the seafood itself was good, the broth was thin and bland more like the kind of soup you'd serve someone who's under the weather. Definitely a miss for me. Total bill amounted to almost $200, which I could say we're paying for the experience. I'd come back to see what their other menus offer. read more

Totally cool place to check out. Party of 6 adults with 6 kids under 3 fabulous time. No real kids menu although they can do a grilled cheese. The Fish & Chips is what everyone ordered along with salads for the adults. Delicious salads and fresh. The Harbor Chowder was good too. Service was very laid back, filled us with a water pitcher, silverware on the table with napkins makes it easy. Outdoor seating under a metal shed. Picnic tables and some tables/chairs. Hearing lamps when there is a chill. Great place for brunch too, next time we will definitely come for brunch. Live music Saturdays & Sundays, 1-4. Oh main point is most of the menu is Gluten-free. Fish & chips has a dedicated fryer for the Gluten-free breading. Very crispy, fish very moist. Check it out! read more

Sailing Goat Restaurant - Ambiance - Seafood Near Me - Richmond, California

After seeing enough reels online about this restaurant, I decided that it was time to finally check it out! We were a large party of 8 and expected to have a long wait time, but it turned out to only be about 15ish minutes. If you do have to wait long, you can walk around the corner to the bar and have a drink while you wait. To eat, my boyfriend and I shared the seafood stew and fish & chips. The stew was the big winner for me because of how much seafood they actually put in the dish! I was very impressed. I also loved that the fish had a light batter and came with a delicious tartar sauce. Pro tip: pack your hat and wear some sunscreen because even if the temperatures aren't high, the sun sneaks up on you out here. read more

The fish and chips were good, along with the strawberry rhubarb desert. They used Rock Fish that day, but it depends on the local catch. The had a nice oatmeal stout in cans. The service was very attentive when I went there. There wasn't any live music that day, but I guess that depends who's booked. There is ONE nice restroom building right accross from the main eating area, so you DO NOT have to use the porta-potties nor the "locals only" restrooms by the houseboats (unless there is a super long line). There is a nice area to expore around the restaurant with large sculpures and even some kind of goat farm. I let my Husky explore around there. I noticed a "leash-only" sign there FYI. The road to get there is very windy and uphill. Take your time around the turns in the road to avoid clipping anyone. read more

I was not going to do this review of The Sailing Goat because we went in the early afternoon on Mother's Day. They were slammed so the fish and chips were, at best, ok. Chips cold. Fish was very greasy. So, I was not going to write this review because I'm sure it's better on non-holidays. THEN I tasted the strawberry rhubarb crumble and I was in heaven. I love this combination but the warm spices and the real whipped cream brought it together when it arrived piping hot!! If I had only had this I would have given it five stars. That's the food. The location and grounds are remarkable. Giant metal sculptures are impressive and would delight kids of all ages (yes, 76). I will definitely go back for another try. I expect that earlier or later on a non-holiday, the food will be better. Not the Crumble...it doesn't get better than the Strawberry Rhubarb crumble at Sailing Goat. read more

What a view! This restaurant took over the Pirate BBQ spot. It's a nice venue and they have regular entertainment on the weekends, which makes it worth the effort to travel and hang out for appetizers and a drink. We had a nice meal and a couple of cocktails. We had the fish and chips, seafood stew, a salad and appetizer. The food was all good, but the service is not the best. Maybe they're having challenges with people driving out to Point Molate, who knows, but don't go there if you're in a hurry. It's still a great spot to just enjoy the scenery, have a beer or cocktail, appetizer and relax! We're always in such a hurry these days, and stressed to .... Get it now!

Very unique spot! Apparently this used to be a BBQ joint, now it is more of a general restaurant. It also used to be a dirt road the last half mile or so to get here, now it's all paved, but it is very narrow and bumpy. There's a pretty big parking lot (which fills up) and all around it is a wonderland for kids and adults alike. There's a goat pen, and there are big pieces of Burning Man-esque art, all interactive (you're allowed to climb them!). Lots of fun! I had called several times trying to make a reservation. No one answered, and their voicemail box was full; I always called on weekends during the day. My friend called and was able to make a reservation (7 people, a Saturday at 11am).. not sure if it was just luck or what. Service was good. It's a pretty chill vibe. Covered outdoor area. Sunny when we went on a Saturday in February. Stage where a band started playing at 1pm. A path to walk down to the end of the marina. More picnic tables directly out in the sun (with umbrellas), where we could be further from the music since we had a baby in the group. Generally kid-friendly, lots of families and young ones there. Our very shy one even made a good friend as they were climbing and playing on the sculptures! Total cost was $167.74 for 4 entrees, 1 side (shared between 2 small kids), 1 brunch entree, 2 coffees. Food for 4 adults, 2 kids. * Frittata ($16) - 3.5 stars. Salad had fresh ingredients. Frittata was spongy and a little hard, but overall tasty. * Cacciucco "Tuscan" Seafood Stew ($32) - 4 stars. It was really good and flavorful. Needs more bread, though! read more

We love visiting Point San Pablo harbor! It's a very unique spot, tucked away behind the hidden roads near the Richmond-San Rafael bridge. It's a very small community and they have many sculptures from Burning Man stationed here. It's a beautiful place to walk around, admire the community garden and visit the goats and to check out the lovely houseboats! I wish I had nicer things to say about our first visit to Sailing Goat. We had been here when it was the Black Star Pirate BBQ but Sailing Goat is new to us. Parking is super easy out front. We parked and walked in to the restaurant. The sign says to wait to be seated. There was another couple in front of us. We waited about 10 mins which isn't too bad for Sunday 1:30pm on a holiday weekend. The ambiance is great - the outdoor seating by the bay is perfect! It went downhill from there. They took a long time to get our drink order. We ordered drinks and food at the same time. We had been looking at the menu for awhile so we knew what we wanted. And we didn't want to chances on more delays on placing our order. Drinks came out right away. The appetizer came out soon after. Water never showed up. I had a water bottle with me and I had finished that. Fish & chips came out. We used the empty appetizer bowl as one of the plates. My husband used the plate that the bowl was on. We had to be resourceful to to share the food but there was no wait staff to be found. A server, not for our table, came out so I flagged him down right away. We needed water, ketchup and plates. He brought us a pitcher of water and then realized that we didn't even have any glasses for water so he brought glasses filled with water. The fish & chips is gluten free and maybe that's why the batter was a little different for us. But it was good, freshly fried and it wasn't too greasy. The fries were great and the cole slaw was fine. Then our server came to clear our table and asked if we wanted any dessert. I reminded him that we're still waiting for our second entree. He looked befuddled. 2 of 3 of us walked over to the bathroom which took a long time - there was a line and there's only 1 bathroom. I stayed at the table and asked the next server that was coming by if our chicken is coming. She said it'll take must a few minutes. They finally brought out 3 clean plates. Then the entree finally came. The braised chicken finally arrive. Then we were waiting for the bill. Waiting and waiting. 2 of 3 of us got bored and left to explore the grounds. I flagged down another server. She gave me a bill. I'm getting tired of all this waiting. I finally paid the bill. The table next to us was seated after us and left long before us. Maybe we should have canceled the chicken entree. It was a long meal which I don't mind if the transition between courses is smooth but things got missed, order of chicken forgotten. I'm glad 3 of us shared the entrees - otherwise someone would have been very hungry. I do wish the service was better. read more

Okay fellow gluten free fam, lemme tell you up front, it's worth it. I know what it feels like when your gf friend says, oh have you tried this place?

I love the location of this place. It has its own lovely unique microclimate and orientation on the bay. The menu is very small, but I saw something I like and decided to try it. How can you go wrong with Peruvian chicken? Well, here are four ways they went wrong: served only one small boneless thigh, left out any spices in the chicken, left the chili out of the green sauce, and pan fried it. It is supposed to be cooked over wood or coals and spiced well. For 27$ the plate included two little potatoes and literally 3 olives. I know times are hard in the restaurant business, but the value and execution was way off. The front of the staff was attentive. Next time I go there I will probably bring a picnic and chill on the little beach. read more

This is so good! I came here on a lovely day and got to walk around quite a bit. I was excited to see the menu. They have plenty of good gluten free options.

I appreciate that. We got to sit outside, but it was summer and the weather was nice and warmish, as warmish as it could be next to the water. But we got a good meal, got some great drinks, and will be back. read more

Sailing Goat Restaurant - Agua Fresca with utensils and table number. - Seafood Near Me - Richmond, California

Hidden gem with great views. It was a trek to get to, a little adventure if you will, and it was worth it. Plenty of parking with outdoor dining. Ordered the Harbor Chowder and Fish & Chips. Fresh and tasty. I also tried the Far West Cider: You Guava Be Kidding Me. I don't typically drink ciders and it was pretty good. There were plenty of people dining and service was slow but the employees were all nice and friendly. read more

As the live musician said, this is the greatest staycation in the Bay Area. It's such a vibe right on the water way out in Richmond. I had no idea this area existed and you really feel like you've left the city. Beautiful views by the docks. Servers are so friendly and nice. Small but solid menu. We had the brandade, curry seafood stew, and fish and chips. They were all good. Brandade was creamy and delicious, not too fishy, and came with crispy toasts. Fish and chips has a light airy batter and was flaky delicious fish. Curry stew had fish, shrimp, mussels and was also great. Live music in a rustic seaside outdoor patio. Lovely spot. read more

This is a unique restaurant in an out of the way location. You will never see it from any road because it's around a hill on a north bay shore. When you do get there it's a really cool place with a big park surrounding it. A local sourced quality ingredient menu with local beers and wines too. See is outdoors on picnic tables that are covered. I recommend going on a nice day. It could be cold. Otherwise if it's windy or foggy. Don't forget and check out the goats on the other side of the park. I guess this is where it gets its name from. read more
