I am from Utah and I still DREAM about this restaurant! I go to San Fran once a year and always make it a priority to come here. It is by far my favorite restaurant of all time. I tell anyone who is going to San Fran, to go to Sausalito just to go to this place. The view is outstanding. You can see San Fran if you sit outside. The interior is absolutely beautiful. The food is decadent and unique and so flavorful!

It was my first time in Sausalito and it definitely did not disappoint. Amazing place to have lunch or dinner over looking San Francisco. Just an breathtaking view nightly recommended. The food was delicious and the services was spectacular. Will definitely come back.

We sat in the lounge because you have to sit in the bar or lounge to take advantage of happy hour. We sat on the couch with a little table in front of us and a window behind with a few of downtown Sausalito. There was a sign saying to order at the bar, but somebody ended up coming up to us and taking our order. For happy hour I got an $8 chardonnay and my partner got a $10 cocktail of the day, which was sangria. We shared the avocado egg rolls and mushroom ravioli which were both very good. My partner also seemed to enjoy the salmon tacos. Overall, a barrel of a good time.

We chose this place on chance... because it's neighbors were so expensive, and were happily pleased. The food was great. The shrimp risotto had big juicy pieces of shrimp. The half Crab had tasty noodles and excellent Crab. The views alone were well worth the experience.

My girlfriend and I sailed into this spot on a Sunday evening to cap off her birthday celebrations. From the get-go, the restaurant welcomed us with its inviting interior and a lovely outdoor area—a real oasis, even when packed near closing time. Now, we were on a seafood quest after hearing this place was the “catch of the day” in that department. We reeled in the clam chowder, mussels, and calamari, eager to dive into a marine feast. However, what surfaced was a bit underwhelming. The calamari had the texture of rubber bands—definitely overcooked. The clam chowder was an interesting twist but carried an ocean’s worth of salt. As for the mussels, they were passable but lacked that “I’ve got to have it again” factor. The service didn’t exactly sail smoothly either. We found ourselves waving down servers more than once just to get our water refilled. So, would I return to this seafood sanctuary? Probably not. Beautiful setting? Absolutely. But if you’re searching for a seafood masterpiece, you might want to cast your net elsewhere.

Amazing views and food to go with it! If you're lucky enough to have a window or balcony seat you will have stunning views across the bay of San Francisco (if the fog isn't there of course!). The food here is also great with a variety of dishes for all tastes with lots of local options available too. There are also many cocktails available which are great but maybe a little expensive. My favourite part was the dessert which was a great finish for me. Would recommend to anyone in Sausalito!

The food was good, but the highlight here is the scenery. The price was a bit expensive for a four person lunch (almost $40/person), but otherwise it was a high quality meal. I would probably explore local options before this place because of the price, but I wouldn’t hesitate if a table was open.

“Tavern” may imply an establishment lacking sophistication and modern appeal — this place is anything but. Upscale but approachable dining, unreal views, high quality cocktails, and unsurpassed quality. The staff was accommodating and helpful. Thanks for a BARREL of joy!
