Restaurants with Tables Still Open for Valentine's Day

Still haven't had a chance to get that Valentine's Day dinner reservation? We've been researching the dwindling supply of tables at top Sausalito restaurants to help you out. As of 9:00 PM on February 12, 2009, here are our suggestions. It looks like some places have called in extra staff and are opening banquet rooms etc., since new openings have turned up.

These times and openings for these five places will probably change rapidly, so you should call them ASAP.

Angelino's – ( 8 Sea Lions) Up through 5:30 PM — time to catch a romantic sunset with a view of the Bay!

Buckeye Roadhouse – ( 9 Sea Lions) 4:30 PM. A favorite romantic spot of ours.

Cacciucco — up to 7:00 PM and 8:30 PM on

Horizons — up to 6:30 PM (think about the Bay view and sunset!) and 8:00 PM on

Poggio – ( 9 Sea Lions) 3:30 PM is open. Another of our personal favorite places to go, classy and romantic.

Here are some other leads we got on popular Sausalito restaurants by asking around:

Avatar's – A casual "Indian comfort food" tradition and a perennial leader on our Restaurants ranking page. Call soon and there's a good chance they'll be able to hold you a table. Very considerate service when you're trying to find a place to eat.

Sartaj India Cafe — From about 7:30 on there's a good chance you can get a table here. The owner treats people like family.

Caffe DiVino — ( 7 Sea Lions) The back room continues to have tables available for Valentine's Day dinner, although the front room is all booked. The music is great in front, but it's actually easier to talk in the back room.

Il Piccolo Teatro — Brand new this year. There are a few tables open scattered through the evening. If this sounds good to you, call soon. They go out of their way to try to help people find a reservation time that will work, and customer service quality here is high.

Paradise Bay — ( 5 Sea Lions) Some tables are still available for Valentine's Day dinner. Another place that treats guests well when you're trying to get in at a popular time.

Fish — They don't take reservations (or credit cards) at this informal "line up to order from the counter" ultra-fresh seafood place.

Enjoy your romantic evening!
