    We were touring my sister in San Francisco visiting the Golden Gate Bridge today. We drove to Sausalito. We had plan to eat somewhere else but my husband saw The Trident restaurant remembering our previous lunches here. Quickly I made a reservation from Open Table for 3 and made it at 12:15 pm. We got sat down by the window. Our server Gabriella was pleasant. We just ordered the Arnold Palmer, Sprite and Lemonade for drinks. My sister & I got the Captain’s Platter to share and my hubby had his favorite Fish & Chips. The ambiance was beautiful as always. The casual food was good. The crème brûlée dessert was not sweet. The server said they make it in house. The balance of sweetness contributed to a more enjoyable and complex taste experience. We saw the ferry boat passing by. The other male server who was helping us was nice as well. Then around 12:45 pm, a large group of customers arrived. Good thing we ordered our lunch already! Overall I don’t mind returning to The Trident for casual dining.
