This is a classy, top notch dining experience in Sausalito. Worth the drive, as the food is excellent and the ambiance hard to beat. Old world charm oozes from every wooden sconce lit booth. We shared a meal with very dear foodie friends here and they were duly impressed with everything.

This was our first time trying Barrel House and we made a reservation for 3pm on a Sunday. A beautiful calm clear day and the view on the deck was just gorgeous! The food was surprisingly good for a spot like this and honestly priced pretty well considering it’s in a tourist spot on the water. We loved it and our server was lovely too. We had the clam linguini and the salmon. I recommend both!

We just had a delicious dinner at Le Marais in Mill Valley. Their brunch and lunch always hits the spot and now we know that their dinner is just as tasty. We had the endive salad and tuna tartar for appetizers and the salmon and roast chicken for our entrees. Everything was excellent including the service. The vibe in the evening is also very charming. It definitely felt like we were eating at a neighborhood Paris bistro.
