Pretty solid spot for a quick lunch in Sausalito. After walking around the pier we were hungry but needed to catch a ferry back. I got a hibiscus margarita which was great and really refreshing with the hibiscus tea added while my friend got the sangria. Sangria was a bit watered down and flavorless. For food, I got the fried fish and sausalito (stir fried shrimp) tacos with rice and beans on the side. Tacos were solid and the rice & beans pretty flavorful. My friend is vegetarian and be warned they don't have good vegetarian options as we didn't see anything that was mushroom or tofu based for protein and he ended up getting a veggie tostada which was basically a tostada with lettuce and refried beans. The patio is nice to sit outside on a sunny day and overall not a bad choice for an easy lunch in Sausalito, especially when other options can get pricer.

What a warm and welcoming place! Excellent service and great ambiance and food. We really enjoyed our micheladas.

Tres Taco De Camaron Taco De Carne Asada Taco De Conchinita

With patio and outdoor seating, this taqueria is a short bike ride or walk from the ferry. The service was excellent, friendly waitstaff bilingual in Spanish and English. We got the three taco special and the shrimp quesadilla. Both of us loved the quesadilla and my friend preferred the carne asada tacos whereas I like the Baja tacos best. They bring out a little sauce platter with crema too which is nice. Without the salsa the tacos were not heavily seasoned but the salsa was good and spicy. Between the two of us it was about $25/person plus tip, so this is definitely more of a sit down and have a pleasant meal kind of taco shop with a Sausalito vibe. They had a chile relleno special with crab meat but it was $38 so I held back. I would come back and try more seafood items.

Everything we ordered was yummy! the best salsa verde ive ever had.

The staff are amazingly friendly and accommodating. Foods are so good. The best salsa verde ive ever had. The place is so beachyyy. Only thing is tables are too close to each other, just hard to move around but we still had a great time.

Taco De Carne Asada
Katie R.

A solid 3 star spot based on the food alone. We ordered 4 tacos, one was great, one was good, and two were pretty meh. I liked that they had the option to order tacos as a duo, trio, or as a plate, though the pricing didn't change as you got more or ordered a combo. There also weren't free chips, which is always a bummer, because what is dining at a Mexican restaurant without the chips? We ordered a taco duo and the perfect plate with the intention of having two tacos each and sharing the rice and beans. When the food came they also dropped off two salsas and some crema - unsure if this comes with all taco orders or just the plate. Great taco was the Taco De Pescado, this one was full of flavor and had plenty of crispy fish. Good taco was the Taco De Carne Asada, this one was loaded with beef and had a touch of spice, on its own it needed a little something more, but a spoonful of salsa and crema did just the touch to elevate this one. Meh tacos were both of the shrimp tacos, neither was really showing much flavor. The grilled shrimp taco got most of its flavor from the grill marks on the onion, but as soon as the flavor of the grill evaporated, which was very quick, the flavor was gone. Veggies for sure could've used some salt. The salsa and crema helped this one out a little bit, but it wasn't a $7 taco. Service was good and food came out quick. There was limited outdoor seating as well as "indoor seating" that still felt outside due to the wide open windows. We opted for the inside as it still felt outdoors, but gave you shade and more space. The vibe here was colorful and vibrant, with liveliness from the street and music. Wouldn't come out of my way to come back here, but if I did come back I'd order the Taco De Pescado and then try something non-taco related.

Snapper Fajitas
Kimmie H.

Decided to visit beautiful Sausalito after our hike and stumbled upon this popping gem. Not too sure why the ratings on Yelp aren't as high, so I'm glad I found this spot the old fashioned way because this was a great experience! The staff and vibes were just fun and vibrant. And as for the food, the snapper fajitas and skinny shrimp tacos was tasty! I wouldn't say it's the best Mexican food or authentic but it's still good. The drinks along with chips and salsa/ guac were so good on a warm day (the red salsa was bomb!) Also they're dog friendly!

Yelp J.

Meh .... average and waaaay overpriced. Total super overpriced tourist trap. The location of the restaurant and the service was good. I swear the black beans were straight from can to plate.

Our family enjoyed this historic seafood restaurant in Sausalito. We came here on Saturday for our…read morebirthday lunch . There was a traffic accident on the highway so our arrival time was delayed . We called the restaurant and the lady was very kind and helpful. She helped us move the reservation time from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm . She promised that we may have to wait a little bit . By the time we arrived , our table was reserved and set up so that we could start ordering out late lunch. We were very hungry and they gave us another loaf of bread after the first one ! We ordered calamari fritter as appetizers. The calamari was fresh from the ocean ,so tender and delicious. It was marinated and cooked to perfection . We wanted to order a second one right after we finished it ! We have tried the signature clam chowder , Alaska halibut, three orders of the lazy Cioppino ( it has Fisherman 's stew of crabs , clams , mussels , fish , calamari in a tomato clam broth ) The crab meats were fresh and delicious, clams and calamari were tender and fresh from the ocean, so many giant prawn and fish cooked to just right and I could barely finish all the seafood in one order . The broth tasted amazing and it came with two roasted garlic butter sour dough bread . We love seafood Cioppino and this was one of the best one I had , both in presentation, quality and quantity of the seafood . Another family member ordered linguine con vongole ( linguini with fresh Manila clams , garlic , white wine , butter , chili flakes and butter ) . It tased like heaven with the white wine sauce and the fresh clams were so juicy and tender. The restaurant is nicely decorated with windows and ocean views . I love the handing lamps and the wall paintings. It offers elegant dinning with a warm and personal ambiance. Focus from " pier to plates " dinning with daily fresh catches . Guests consistently praise the exceptional freshness of the seafood and the romantic bay views . A blue ship was moving into the bay while we dinned and we enjoyed watching and experiencing the fresh ocean breeze and took photos outside and indoor . Service was exceptional and attentive . I give this restaurant 5/5 and would love to come back again for more family event .

I am so pleasantly surprised how good this place was! I was skeptical with any "iconic" or touristy…read morelocation and a lot of times its gimmicky and the food is sub par. However Scoma's delivered! Had a reservation at around 6pm on Labor day and I've never seen Sausalito so crowed before! We luckily wound free street parking. Had a table with a great view. We ordered: 1. Clam Chowder: Super creamy and delicious. Bowl is kind of small but it was enough to share between 4 people to have a taste. Lots of clams. 2. Lazy Cioppino: This was the dish I was most excited about because it's going to either make or break the restaurant and DAMN was it good! So much seafood and it was SO fresh. I only had 1 clam that did have some sand in it but the rest was super fresh and flavorful. Lots of crab on top. We ate every single bite with the bread to soak up the sauce. 3. Fettuccine Linguini Frutti di Mare: of all the dishes, this was probably the weakest. Not that it was bad but it wasn't anything special. The shrimp were really big and crunchy showing it's fresh. The sauce was good but not as good as the Cioppino. 4. Risotto Milanese & Scallops: This was my favorite dish of the night. The scallops were probably the best scallops I've ever had. A bit on the salty side but I loved it. Super fresh and soft. Melts in your mouth. The risotto was perfectly cooked and seasoned. 5. Calamari Calabrese: This was also delicious. I was wary because they have a sauce version (calabrese style apparently) or the non sauced which we wanted to try something different and the sauced was perfect amount of sauce and didn't soften the crunch. Overall, great restaurant with great views and great food. Food came out pretty quickly within 10-15 minutes. Service was good but not amazing. They kind of just drop off the food and otherwise are kind of hard to get in touch with. I felt bad because the table next to us tried to get the waiters attention for like 20 minutes and they were kind of ignored after their food came out. One thing I also noticed that a lot of different restaurants do now is they will settle the bill at the table which is great but they put the tip choices in front of you and stare at you as you pick rather than writing it in. Yes we will tip but not sure if they're just hunting for bigger tips if the customer feels more pressured? I've had it happen at multiple different restaurants now which is uncomfortable. Either way we had a great time here and would definitely be back.

What the hell happened to this place? It has definitely gone downhill…read more ​In my past reviews, I spoke very highly of this restaurant. The food was great, the service was attentive, and you couldn't ask for a better dining experience--especially with their incredible view. ​Tonight, however, my wife and I experienced a completely different restaurant. From the moment we checked in, something felt off. When my wife made the reservation, she requested for a table inside and mentioned that we were celebrating our 22nd anniversary. The host didn't say that an inside table wouldn't be available nor acknowledge our celebration. We were seated at a table by the water. Not what we requested but we didn't want to make a fuss about that. A nearby table had just cleared, and the diners left a mess of food underneath it. A staff member came over and wiped down the tabletop, but left all the scraps, including big chunks of bread scattered under the table. Come on, guys - not that difficult to do a quick sweep. ​Every table around us was served water, but we were completely skipped. We also ordered bread, which a runner practically tossed onto our table as he rushed past--I'm surprised it didn't slide right off the edge of the table. ​When the waiter finally took our drink order, we kept it simple since we aren't big drinkers: a San Pellegrino for my wife and a Sprite for me. The sparkling water arrived quickly, but the Sprite took forever. We had to ask multiple times before we finally gave up; I think the waiter noticed our frustration and brought it over shortly after but didn't apologies the delay. ​The food was just as disappointing. I ordered the filet mignon cooked medium. When it arrived, it was rare at best and smothered in an unfamiliar sauce that tasted like pure salt and oil--it looked an awful lot like chicken gravy. To make matters worse, the potatoes were noticeably burnt. ​My wife ordered the cioppinolito, but it barely contained any seafood at all. Very small pieces of shrimp (there were only 4l) and fish. To top it off, the dish included 1 crab claw and 1 leg in their shells and not pre-cracked, but they never brought out any crackers or seafood tools. How on earth are guests supposed to crack open crab legs without the right utensils? We were too frustrated to even bother asking. She said she will just take them home to eat. ​We aren't weekly regulars, but we've consistently come here twice a year for special occasions and always recommended it to visiting friends. That ends tonight.

There place was packed but luckily we were able to find a high table for our party of 6. The view of the marina is nice and wish we found seating outside on their back patio for it. But we were a larger group and most of the seating out back were for parties of 2-4. You order your food first at the counter and then find your seat. Your orders will be delivered to your table. The menu is limited but everything we ordered was tasty. It was the weekend so it was busy and our food took awhile. Really liked the fried chicken sandwich and their truffle fries. The rotisserie chicken plate was big enough for two.

It's located right on the waterfront and is easy to find. There is free car and bike parking next to the building, Inside it is a counter service restaurant with a large open air but covered indoor dining area along with an outdoor area near the water too. I ordered the 1/2 rotisserie chicken plate that came with potatoes and salad for $20.50. After getting my self serve drink, I decided to sit outside in the shade and the food arrived less than 15 minutes later. Not only was it an attractive meal, it tasted pretty good too! Actually, I was surprised it was so good. The 1/2 bird was nice sized and tasty (4). The Yukon gold potatoes and wild arugula were excellent tasting with a lot of flavor! Some salsa verde was added to use for the chicken for dipping purposes. I enjoyed this meal and for California pricing it was a deal. I like the casual vibe of The Joinery and would recommend it to anyone looking for a casual and affordable meal while in town. Getting the free drink for renting a Blazing Saddles bike saved a few dollars too!

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