About this restaurant

The Privateer is a unique restaurant as it is located on a docked riverboat. This allows virtually every guest to have a picturesque view of the water as the dining room wraps around the ships deck. Naturally, all the decor is nautical themed, with fishing nets, and other boat paraphernalia serving as the main design elements. The Privateer's menu changes frequently as the seasons allow for new ingredients to be used. It's also a rather small menu, with only one page of specialties the kitchen has prepared for the day. Some of the items frequently offered by The Privateer's kitchen include clam chowder, mussels and fries and the Estero which is ham, house smoked pork belly, pork shoulder and cheddar on batard.

    Enjoyed Christmas dinner here. The Brut and wine choices made the evening, along with the view and service. This was a prix fix 3 course meal. I ordered the ribeye steak, it arrived already cut up, cold, and the portion size was 4 oz. maybe less due to 1 slice being pure fat (I decided not to complain to our server since it was Christmas Day. Enjoyed the sides the most, and again the beverages. I would come back again for lunch, but not dinner.

    I love Inverness and was pleased to see a new restaurant in an old location. They offered a set menu for Christmas lunch, which I thought was pricey at $55 each, but the food was fabulous. The very best Brussels Sprouts I have ever eaten! Great wine list, too. The restaurant deserved to be full up, but was nearly deserted at noon on Christmas. I will definitely be back for the brunch and lunch menus; lost of creative options. I hope the Privateer takes off and draws bigger crowds.

    Lunches in this bright, sunny spot right on Tomales Bay have been a delight. The food is fresh, local and delicious. The views are lovely for locals, memorable for visitors. Friendly, very welcoming staff add to this delightful experience. We look forward to their opening for dinner.

    Terrific burgers, lovely view but pretty barebones. I saw an amazing review for Thanksgiving day, when we went the next day I was expecting more and discovered they are still in 'set up' mode, for example, no desserts available for a birthday lunch. Do go and try their burgers!
