General Notes

The Spinnaker probably has some of the best views of the city, period. Unlike most of the other restaurants in Sausalito, this restaurant is on a piece of land that juts out into the sea, giving fantastic unobstructed views. And every table in the restaurant has such a view. Surprisingly it was also not that crowded (maybe because it's a bit out of the way?), but they were able to seat us pretty quickly despite the fact that I visited during a holiday week with beautiful weather (12/30). Food is decent but not particularly noteworthy, but if you're coming here it's most likely for the experience.


Dishes Tasted

  • ★★☆☆ Bouillabaisse -- prawn, scallop, clams, mussels, fresh fish in a rich broth with garlic bread. An interesting take on bouillabaisse, I wish the soup were lighter (it seemed like they added quite a bit of cream), and the bread was a little too strongly flavored. The seafood was cooked beautifully, would have liked the saffron flavor to go with it though.
  • ★★☆☆ Calamari Fritte -- the calamari was delightfully tender, perfect texture, but the batter was not quite as crispy as I was hoping for.
