"I had booked a table with Open Table two weeks in advance. We had to wait for our table for about 20 minutes. The bartender was very friendly, and the cocktails were delicious. We did get a window-side table, and the view outside was beautiful. However, the food was average. I had steamed clams, and there were about 20 clams in the dish. Rather scant compared to other steamed clam dishes I've had. The bread wasn't the top quality usually found in San Francisco waterfront restaurants."

"The Spinnaker is one of the San Francisco Bay Area's best restaurants. Its location, on a Sausalito pier, provides a close-up view of passing boats, with waving passengers. Just above the water, there's a majestic view of San Francisco. It's smartly set apart from the busy main street. Often, the top of the Golden Gate Bridge towers can be seen just above the nearby hills. All of this (especially the panoramic view) is complemented by delectably prepared food (The bisque is to die for!) and sharp service (very friendly and highly competent wait persons and maitres 'd). This triad makes The Spinnaker a true gem: great food, great view, great service. Please don't tell too many people, lest this wonderful restaurant gets overrun by a throng!"

"The comments saying tired are about right. The food is not memorable and doesnt hold a candle to much in SF. The decor is tired and there is little imagination in the place. So dont come for the food, though it's not bad . The view is spectacular and it is right next to the ferry back to the city if you're making a quick visit to show guests Sausalito."

"The Great Location with Good Food and Service makes a very enjoijable evening. Valet parking is very disappointing. When I picked up my car the right front and the right rear tires had big scratch marks from hitting the curb. I pay for valet parking but the attendant takes no responsibility for car damage. Management should screen these kids more thoroughly."

"We ate here on our first date 20 years ago. This was the perfect return and brought back fond memories. The Maitre D. remembered our anniversary when we arrived, gave us a perfect window table, and his best wishes when we left. Our waiter was friendly and efficient. Our only reservation was that the Caesar salad dressing wasn't quite right, a very minor complaint. All in all, a memorable evening."

"We found the Spinacker by a recommendation at the fantastic German webside "Westkueste USA" from Stefan Kremer. The Dinner was delicious. For example my swordfisch cooked at the point. The bottle of a simply Chardonney was amazing low priced, In addition the nice view over the San Francisco Bay and the very friendly and helpfull service completed a perfect evening.

"we went early, so it was quiet. we got a great table by the window. The waiter was very helpful and gave us great help with what to order and suggestions about portion sizes. This is the third time we have eaten there. The sautéed fish is particularly delicious. The salad was delicious with a perfect dressing. The apple tart for dessert was great and we were advised to split one, as it is a very large serving. Very easy to park. Beautiful views of SF and Belvedere and the wildlife in the water."

"I've been to Spinnaker with friends twice this past week......a new great experience. The view, wherever you sit, is unbelievable!
The food was so tasty....haddock with pesto sauce and manhattan clam chowder were my choices. Everyone enjoyed their meal.
Our waiter was great...polite, and very patient with our many questions....and he was extremely busy. I'll definitely be back. Oh, and don't miss the cream puffs with ice cream for dessert....the best!"

"We enjoyed being in Sausalito and having this lovely restaurant so conveniently located. We got a window table and really enjoyed the view. Our server was good, not great. My wife's pasta dish was decidedly bland; she should have had the daily special. However, in my opinion, not one mediocre offering should be on the menu.
Next time, we'll try a competitor."

"We have been bringing visitors and celebrating special events here for many years. Although we are very critical about the food we eat and have problems at most restaurants, we have always had good experiences at the Spinnaker. Most of the time, the food, especially the seafood, is very good, and even exceptional. Sometimes there are misses. For our dinner, the seafood appetizers were all terrific. Unfortunately, the clam chowder tasted like thickened chicken broth and was a little salty. I tried the paella for a change, and it didn't knock me over, but it was pretty good. My wife claims her grilled mahi was one of the best meals ever, and she is more particular than me. Our two guests thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Service was excellent."

"The Spinnaker was great and we had a wonderful seafood dinner. Our waiter was very efficient and thorough and made excellent food and wine recommendations. We caught a gorgeous evening for viewing San Francisco and we plan to return to The Spinnaker more frequently even though we live an hour away. Over the years we had come to the Spinnaker many times as this restaurant was where we decided to get married. However, we discontinued coming here as our special place as we felt the quality of the food had dropped off. Now we are delighted to see that the food is outstanding and the quality of service superb."

"Our party of nine enjoyed a delicious brunch at the Spinnaker last Sunday. Beginning with free valet parking, cheerful and attentitive staff, beautiful views of the bay and San Francisco in the background and of course, wonderfully prepared seafood. It was great to watch paddle boarders, kayaks, sail boats and fishing boats cruise right in front of the restaurant on a beautiful and sunny day. We will be back to enjoy this all again."

"I always thought of the Spinnaker as a tourist spot...I am local and love this place.
It is new to me for a great spot. If they got new carpet and chairs touched up...it would be a 5 star"

"I had not been to the Spinnaker for many years, and thought it must be terribly expensive, with such an incredible location. Finally, desperate for a salmon dinner, I checked your prices and was pleasantly surprised. The entire experience was very pleasant, except for two glitches with the service - one, the waiter apparently did not know my table was his to serve, and it took a long time to get a glass of wine. After that, it was fin - until I got up to go to the ladies' room, and when I returned to the table, my leftovers had vanished. He did bring me a new portion, but I don't like to waste food. I am uncomfortable leaving the table to find my dinner gone."

"we had a very large group, which ended up being 45 minutes late...on a busy weekend. The staff managed our reservation and group wonderfully and helped make the experience an enjoyable 'end of the trip'."

"Did not expect great food because other reviewers said the view was excellent but the food was not so good. We found exactly the opposite, excellent view and great food. Four of us ate there and everything was perfect: we had clam chowder, pot stickers, Dungeness crab salad, Sea Bass, salmon special, and seafood cobb salad. We do not live in San Francisco so we are not food or wine snobs, but for us common folk from Colorado it was a memorable evening."

"We had the best lunch in Sausalito. Actually our second time eating there. The service was superb as was the food. The waitress recommended good wines and good entrees and neither disappointed. We spent two weeks traveling northern California and San Francisco, and this was one of the best meals we had. I would definitely recommend this for lunch or dinner. Sausalito is such a delightful town and this restaurant gives you such a nice view. Wait for a table by the window - it is definitely worth it, even if you have to have a drink in the bar first. Make a reservation on OpenTable, of course, so you can get in."

"Enjoyed a 4pm late lunch on a beautiful sunny Thursday afternoon. The menu changes to dinner at 3pm, but still a great choice of light meals such as the Spinnaker salad that I had. Seafood salad was fresh and excellent tasting. Waiter was very cooperative in adding and subtracting items in the salad to suit my tastes. Waiter had a choice of meals for my 5 year old that worked out fine. Excellent service, beautiful view of the bay including the SF skyline and the GG towers above the local hill tops. Postcard views, easy parking including free valet, and friendly service. Can't wait for the next special occasion."

"This restaurant is right on the water and has very nice views. However, the food is not very good. The vegetables and potatoes seemed to me like they were right out of a frozen package, and the fish wasn't very good. It's a tourist restaurant."

"A great palce to celebrate a special occasion or just to get together with friends and or family. Food was very good and service was excellent. Did not feel rushed through the meal. View is spectacular. Easy to park. This restaurant has everthing going for it. We had the paella. It had plenty of fish and was very tasty. Fish was fresh. Also the red clam chowder was wonderful. Plenty of clams. All in all a great spot."

"Perfect setting for the most romantic of occasions... The Spinnaker fit perfectly with our anniversary plans for a terrific seafood dinner accompanied by an unbelievable scenic view of San Francisco and the bay. The Spinnaker lived up to our expectations for a wonderful night, the food was fresh and very good. The crab cakes were outstanding! Service was attentive, and the prices surprisingly reasonable for this area."

"I was one of 20 people gathered after spreading ashes of a loved one on the bay. Those planning the event purposely suggested gathering at the Spinnaker because of the beautiful combination of location, food and ambiance. We were not disappointed! And we were especially blessed with absolutely gorgeous weather!! The service was excellent making our special event a very satisfying experience.
I am a native San Franciscan who moved away many years ago and this has been the best weather, best hotel experience, best Spinnaker food of all the several times I have had the pleasure to return to my hometown. Even with the large group, our service was excellent.
Don't change!"

"If you have not been to Spinnaker, then please give it a try. Make sure you make reservations no matter what time you wish to go, and always request a window table. Most of the time your request is honored. We celebrated our seventeen year anniversary on April 20th and had wonderful food, service and window view. Spinnaker is our special occasion restaurant and to be honest we do Sunday brunches and lunch. We have yet to have a disappointing meal. Again, try it and make up your own mind."
