This place has really gone downhill over the years. This used to be one of my favorite restaurants when I came to visit my grandparents in Marin. I went to SF for work and took the ferry to Sausalito and this was about a 5-10 minute walk from the ferry terminal so I thought I’d stop by.
I noticed right away that it was dead at peak lunch hour, but perhaps that was just the one instance. I used to always come for dinner so maybe it’s still packed. The portions were so small, especially for the price, and the quality did not match. The gulf prawns were tough, rubbery, and overcooked; the crab cakes were super processed with minuscule pieces of crab with lots of filler, really can’t say I recommend this place anymore. The view is nice and the nostalgia is there for me, which is why it’s a 2 star as opposed to 1.
I had this sampler plus a bowl of clam chowder, which came out to about $60 with just water to drink. I one to enjoy food in all shapes and sizes, regardless of price or ambiance. Think tacos/hot dogs from some guys truck at Home Depot to $700 3 Michelin starred tasting menus. My point is, this, given its taste and quality, was absolutely not worth it from any standpoint. You can get the same, if not, better view with a $6 ice cream cone from downtown Sausalito. Maybe I’ll return someday for their roasted Dungeness crab, which was my favorite as a kid, I’m hoping that hasn’t changed for the worse as this place has in general.
