“Partial Bay Views” in Sausalito
Most of these restaurants have some tables with great views, but their orientation means we can’t classify the whole place in the same category with Full Bay Views. Maybe it’s that they have only a few view tables, maybe they’re across the street from the water. The best tables here, however, are often as good as the ones at the restaurants in the top section. (Listed in alphabetical order)
Angelino (Italian, Some Bay Views) — Sidewalk seating across the street from the Bay
Sula & Farley (American, Some Bay Views) — Great views from their front porch tables and from some tables in Sula.
Sausalito Bakery and Cafe (Breakfast & Lunch) — Sidewalk seating across the street from the Bay
Suzette (French) — Sidewalk seating across the street from the Bay
Venice Gourmet Deli (Deli) — Sidewalk seating across the street from the Bay
Venice Pizzeria (Pizza) — Sidewalk seating across the street from the Bay
“Harbor Views” in Sausalito
We have friends who think that these are the best views in Sausalito. These places are adjacent to harbors where sailboats and yachts are moored, so you see the boats in the foreground and the Bay in the background. “Where would you sail in THAT one?” (Listed in alphabetical order)
Bar Bocce (Italian, Casual, Harbor Views)
Fish (Seafood, Casual, Harbor Views)
Le Garage (French, Casual, Harbor Views)
Salito’s Crab House & Prime Rib (Seafood, Bay Views)
Don’t see a name you remember? Sadly, it may be on our List of Restaurants That Have Closed or Changed Their Names.
