Booked 1 time today
It all started in 1992, when Annette and Gerner Andresen opened the Lighthouse Café in Sausalito in its present form. The Andresens, both born in Denmark, had recently immigrated to the U.S., and along with them they brought the Scandinavian flair for simplicity, good quality and tasty food. The café has over the years become famous for its breakfast and lunch, with American classics like good old-fashioned burgers and a great selection of omelets, along with Scandinavian classics like Danish Meatballs or Norwegian Salmon. Now with four restaurants, The Bar & Grill offers Brunch Lunch & Dinner.

    The Boardroom and the SpeakEasy both always provide great drinks, food and attentive service. It is our favorite neighborhood restaurant! The piano player was wonderful. He took requests and made our Father's Day meal more special. All in all, a wonderful dining experience.

    Paseo is one of the spots you can pretty much always count on. The environment is warm and welcoming. (Though some people find the front dining room a bit too dark. The service is what you'd expect from a restaurant of this caliber. Even though we don't go that often, one of the servers (female, longish dark hair) always recognizes us and makes an effort to welcome us. The menu is solid. We especially appreciate the fact that they are willing to accommodate requests - such as using the pepper sauce from the filet on the pork chop. Portions are more than adequate. (The pork chop is huge!) Their version of a chocolate lava cake could use a bit of work - it was lacking in both chocolate and lava. This probably could be the best restaurant in Mill Valley at this time.
