Lunch in Sausalito

[chattys82]

Hi everyone,
Looking for a good lunch with cocktails (not just wine and beer) in Sausalito...going to be biking across the Golden Gate Bridge and would love a fun place to stop at for lunch.

Is Horizons restaurant supposed to be good? I've read various things about it. It seems pretty, but considering I'm going to be there in 2 weeks in mid-February, does the scenic element really matter? I'm assuming people stick to eating indoors in mid February in San Francisco, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

I heard that restaurant Fish is quite good, but they only have beer and wine it seems...
Is there a place to get drinks right nearby Fish? that might work...

Any help would be much appreciated.

OR are there any other restaurants I'm really overlooking in Sausalito for lunch? Just looking for a casual place...nothing INSANELY expensive, but the cost isn't tooooooo important.

Thank you! :)

FISH is pretty cool. I like sitting outside at a picnic table, watching boats pull up to the fuel dock (some skippers are better than others) and eating a mighty-fine lunch. Beer and wine are OK for lunch.
Cash only.

I like FISH, but the OP wants cocktails. As far as I know, there isn't anyplace to get drinks nearby. There isn't much of anything.

Thought I was clear on that point.

How's Scoma's these days? We're visiting SF in mid-March and plan to visit Heath Ceramics--is that walking distance?

[Sarah]

We love Scoma's for lunch and dinner -- but it's quite a schlep to Heath -- you're way closer to Fish. from Heath (north end of town), esp if you'll be carrying a lot of ceramic pieces.

Thanks for FISH rec. We sat outside (weather miraculously cleared up) and standouts were the pasta con vongole and the grilled sardines (boned!). Lunch will probably end up costing thousands as the visit to Heath ceramics inspired a kitchen remodel.

If you keep it simple, The Spinnaker in Sausalito has decent if unexceptional food, casual atmosphere, full bar, is open for lunch and has world class views (indoor seating) of SF, the bay, Angel Island and passing sail boats. Prices are not too high, by Sausalito standards.

Horizons' lunch time fish tacos are good, has a full bar and again the views are world class.

Cocktails, then a bike ride back across the Golden Gate bridge .... sounds like an adventure! Make mine a double, and make sure the rescue boat & ambulance are ready!

Is Ondine still in Sausalito and maybe open for lunch? not 'casual', but had a great dinner there maybe ten years ago.

Ondine's, the upstairs of Horizons, has been solely an event space since probably about the time after you visited last.
Beautiful views. Good for weddings,e tc.

For a local's location........ try Kitti's Place on Bridgeway.

Food is excellent, abundant and reasonably priced.
You can sit outside but you are basically in the parking lot so no view but the food is worth it.

Weather should not be right for outdoor eating but the year......all bets are off. 70 degrees today!

For beer and wine and a bite to eat (only nibbles) afterwards (open at 3 or 4) on a pretty deck overlooking the marina, Wellingotn's Wine Bar is not too far away.

Then you'll really be living life like a local!

Ditto on Kitti's. True it's in a strip mall, but the friendliness of the staff, the truly unique cuisine and the food value are unparalleled in Sausalito. It is my favorite casual restaurant. Make sure to get the coconut cup thingies if they have them.

No cocktails at Kitti's.

Hi, They do have a full bar and the patio is nice as long as the sun is shining and the have heaters. Happy hour has good deals too.

The food at Horizons is pretty good and if the weather's nice (entirely possible in mid-February) their deck is hard to beat.

If the weather's such that the view is not a factor, I'd go to Poggio instead.

Poggio is bad. It is overpriced and low quality. Not worthit.

What did you have there you didn't like?

I had a linguine amatriccina, that tasted like Chef Boyardee. Which is a problem when you pay $25.

[Robert Lauriston]

On the current menu, rigatoni all'amatriciana is $16.
