My wife and I decided to grab a nightcap at the end of our wedding night not knowing Charlie and the rest of the Cultivar staff would make our special night even more special. I can't emphasize enough how great of an experience it was. Kaitlin and I could not have started married life on a higher note. Thank you especially to Charlie and Michelle. read more

Great staff, amazing food, beautiful ambience, and an upbeat vibe. If your lost in trying to figure out where to eat in Sausalito, start here. Even if just for appetizers, you can trust the staff for great recommendations on the strip or fantastic main courses served in house! The duck poutine is so good and quite filling. Also, the fried shrimp with green beans is a surprisingly tasty pairing- Especially if you get one of the pieces with the shrimp fried ON to the green bean. Also, when you order the oysters, you get a cute and delicious little side of this shrimp salsa situation with freshly fried tortilla strips. It's a nice surprise supplement and it's freaking delicious! What a beautiful spot! read more

Ambiance: casual/ date spot Service: attentive and nice Their Neapolitan style pizzas and whole roasted branzino is cooked in a handcrafted Valoriani oven from Tuscany!! So the pizzas come out with a light and airy crust!! Highly recommend ordering any pizza from here!! My absolute favorites: Oysters- clean, lightly briny, and refreshing Tempura Green Beans w/Shrimp ($18)- I love how light and crispy the batter is, green beans had a crunch and who doesn't love garlic chips!! Smoked Trout Dip ($25)- mixed with tomatoes and avocado with homemade potato chips, salty snack in an addicting way North Bay Pizza ($25)- you get sweet, salty, cheesy flavor profiles Peach Crumble Pie- naturally sweet with a golden crumble Since it's a farm-to-table restaurant, the menu is seasonal, so some of these dishes may change depending on what's fresh and in season. But honestly, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!!! Def coming back for more!! read more

Terrible service meets mediocre food. In fairness, good wine. I'm a local, had been waiting in excitement for this location to open and up until this experience had been rooting for their success. Unfortunately the experience I had was so awful, that I now am just as eagerly awaiting their almost certain demise- you can't treat customers like this and survive when there are much stronger options in the area (shout out to Poggio). Sat at the bar and received terrible service. The bartender was more interested in ignoring us than helping us, giving attitude to us when we asked for menus after sitting there for 10 minutes without being acknowledged. Busy? No. There seemed to be more employees than customers. This was just a sign of more to come, with terrible service with an unfounded attitude thereafter. At the end of our meal, the owner happened to be there and we shared this feedback with him, again still wanting to help them improve and succeed. The owners attitude was completely apathetic and it became clear to me that the place is likely doomed as a result. There are too many options with better food and service for me to give them another try. I'm now looking forward to whatever will come next to occupy their space, as I'd be surprised If they last very long here. The tacos and ceviche were bland and uninspired to boot. RIP Cultivar read more

I felt maybe I was a bit critical in my last review. .. I thought perhaps it was just a bad day for them so I went back to try their evening menu. The second experience was a disaster. 1. DRINKS: They served me their "special" old fashioned, which was terrible...way too sweet... so I sent it back... I later found out that they used brandy instead of a bourbon or whiskey... 2. FOOD: We ordered their margarita pizza "extra crispy " as instructed by a friend who said the tend to come undercooked.. it came to us way undercooked... crust chewey and doughey.... We sent it back and the second one was better. ...actually pretty good. I do want to add this: i still may return someday because things can change. Management at good restaurants read reviews, acknowledge problems and often fix them. I believe they have management that cares so im confident that whatever issues I mentioned will likely be solved very quickly read more

The food was amazing. I had the chicken sandwich it came with fries. The sandwich had a spicy coleslaw and it was very good. My friend had the poke and she said it was delicious. We sat outside at a very comfortable table. It was nice to be able to people watch. The staff were friendly and attentive. read more

I'm a long-time fan of the Chestnut Street Cultivar location (love the back patio and cozy fireplace ambiance, not to mention the grilled cheese and tomato soup!) and was excited for an excuse to cross the bridge and check out the Sausalito location. A completely different vibe, and yet the familiar (and expected!) quality -- and new surprises. Table favorites included the branzino and the "North Bay" pizza with prosciutto, fig jam, goat cheese AND a duck egg. Sparkling rosé pairs perfectly with everything in life. Great service. Attentive without interrupting time with friends. A beautiful evening out and looking forward to a return visit to try out brunch. read more

Cultivar - Sausalito - Branzino - New American Near Me - Sausalito, California

For me, Cultivar lands around 3.5 to 4 stars for brunch right now, but I'm open to being wooed on a future visit. We had a tasty, spendy, weekend brunch experience here, the day before Mother's Day. The biggest draws were the buzz of the crowds, pretty marina views in the distance, and country club-like outdoor cafe seating, alongside outdoor couches, perfect for lounging and enjoying rose and pizza on a sunny day. It has an Edward Hopper meets Scandi feel, and a very attractive bar area. Service was professional but slow. Dishes were solid & made with quality ingredients. Our meal included a well executed omelette with wild mushrooms ($27), smoked trout and spinach eggs Benedict ($30) with a good hollandaise, and a coffee service complete with raw sugar cubes that was brewed strong enough to make me wish I could afford a weekly waterfront brunch. My main hesitation was pricing is roughly 1.5 times other comparable brunch spots. The waterfront setting, higher rent & newly designed interiors may justify that for many: they are already pulling larger crowds on sunny Sausalito days. read more

Was finally able to come by last weekend and take in the beautiful ambiance of this gorgeous place. It was a busy Sunday evening and everyone was out and about. We luckily got the last seats at the bar. While we didn't order anything to eat this time, I did get a beautiful cocktail at the suggestion of the bartender. I believe it was the Vees Knees, beautiful and light...perfect for an early Sunday evening. There was ample opportunity to people watch at the bar...all ages, all dress codes, all positive and fun. Everyone was smiling and having their own conversations and open to meeting new people, how much better can it get? Next time I hope to come by for dinner along with the drinks and will update my review again. read more

We stopped by after an sunset stroll in Sausalito. It was Friday night with not reservation and was lucky to grab 2 last seats at the bar. Ordered the beet cocktail and a few bites including the veggies pizza with eggplants. Balance cocktail, good pizza and service. The olive oil cake was way too sweet for us and on a drier side but otherwise, great place to grab a bite and fun vibes. read more

It must improve or will probably slowly dissolve. Several tries, food average, service not professional, even bussers were slamming dishes down. We locals want quality, not just ambiance. Salads boring. Pizza nothing great here. Overly salted everything. Noise level inside impossible. Sooooo sorry to write this BUT it's a wakeup call for Cultivar. The new Lighthouse, Poggio, FISH, are much more aligned. Get a new menu and chef... train the staff. Hurry. read more

This place was really good and super nice inside--great atmosphere overall. The gnocchi was delicious, especially the one stuffed with cheese--that was definitely the best thing I had. The pizza was good the day we got it, but honestly even better the next day. The wagyu was just okay, nothing too special, but the drinks were really good. One thing to note is there's no dedicated parking for the restaurant, so you'll have to either pay for street parking or park closer to the ferry and walk over. When we went, the weather was perfect, which made the whole experience even better. I'd definitely go back, mainly for the gnocchi. read more

We came here on a weekday for an early dinner. It wasn't as busy as the other restaurants so we gave it a go. The food was good and the drinks were pleasant. For some reason the waiter was extremely pushy and kept wanting us to sign the check although we were not finished with our food. He even came back to tell us to make sure not to forget to sign the check. We go to restaurants often and have never felt rushed before. Extremely rude waiter, unfortunately. read more

Great spot for dinner!! New place with a great ambiance. All the food we ordered was good, except for the game hen. The skin was not crispy and needed more seasoning. Food came out at a good pace and the place was busy too. Our waiter was super friendly and social. Even went behind the bar and made a special mocktail for my aunt. The kale and apple salad was good but a little more cranberries and cheese would make it better. If I'm in the area I'll be back! read more

Hmm .... I really thought we were going to like this one but we did not. Everything was fine but nothing really stood out. The pizza was kinda disappointing as was the shrimp tempura. Maybe because I was just in Japan, but that was not tempura. read more

I wanted to make sure to take the time to leave a review, my friends and I came in last Sunday night for a friends bday and wanted to say Izzy was exceptional!

Updating to yet another five stars. The sausage pizza is delicious. We got it without olives. We compared it to our favorite pizza in the heart of Sicily. read more

Building on the success of its SF/Marina location, Cultivar recently added a second location in Sausalito, and it is a fantastic addition to the Southern Marin dining scene. We had an exceptional dinner ranging from ricotta stuffed squash blossoms as a starter to a gnocchi that was surprisingly light and delicious. Service was attentive and knowledgable, and seating offers both inside and covered outside options. Also, a nice set of custom cocktail options, some of which were creative mocktails. The only downside is that it is located a few hundred yards from where the tourist ferry docks, so the area can get crowded with pedestrians happily not paying attention. Overall, Cultivar is a winner and will be distinctive in the Sausalito dining scene because it has the quality and service that will attract a loyal following of locals vs Sausalito's default tourist-geared model of mediocrity. read more

We went to Cultivar in Sausalito today for dinner. Four of us ordered 2 glasses of wine and 2 Margaritas with dinner. Our waiter Etorre, UPCHARGED us by putting in the most expensive Tequila in the Margaritas. Charging us $30 each. I did not think about it till after paying the bill. I usually trust the waiter to make the right decision when we make the order, This guy was clearly a crook. Food was good, but unfortunately, this waiter is a crook. I have been a Tiburon resident for 30 years, i hope Cultivar makes it. The carelessness in the SERVICE gave me a bad taste for my experience. Once again the food and ambiance were good. I felt we were taken advantage of on the drink end. Thank you for your attention. read more

Cultivar is the restaurant that Sausalito desperately needed. The space is beautiful and really comfortable. Big leather booths, warm lighting, and an inviting bar that makes you want to stay a while. The heated outdoor seating is fantastic too, especially since it's dog friendly. The food is outstanding. The lobster mac and cheese is a standout, and the pizzas are excellent, simple, flavorful, and clearly made with great ingredients. Service is quick and friendly. What I love most is the overall energy of the place. It's lively, fun, and has a level of sophistication that feels like a real boost for Sausalito's dining scene. It's the kind of place that works just as well for a casual dinner as it does for drinks and a long evening with friends and family. read more

Went for Mother's Day brunch and it was fantastic. So happy to see this place open in downtown Sausalito. It's just what Sausalito needed there. I hope to see more of a restaurant revival, and less empty art galleries! They did a really nice job with the space, it looks great inside and out. It feels bigger than it is. It is comfortable. The food was delicious, service was excellent, and the prices are reasonable. Really enjoyed the cinnamon vanilla french toast. We will be back to try more on the menu! read more

We had a table for six, three couples, for our first try at Cultivar. First of all, thw service was impeccable. We were checked back on several times during the meal and always had our requests dealt with swiftly. The range of food that was ordered at our table was from all over the menu from pizza, to the burger, the game hen, sea bass, and a couple orders of the ahi appetizer. To a person, I don't think I heard one complaint about any of the meals and everything we shared was delightful and fresh. They have some serious talent back in that kitchen! We will definitely be back. read more

I felt disrespectful, discriminated, rude by the staff (by 1 person). Oh please dont even say I was busy....I have seen a staff care for others (Race is part it) person have not check in with us. I-we have been sitting at our area waiting to get our drinks, orders and felt like it's rushed. Another different staff took care of us (again race was part of it). But when the check came, staff cleared out table for next customer. Rushed us out Food was good, I was unhappy of my services read more

I went to Cultivar for my birthday with a couple friends and sat at the bar. We had such a wonderful time and the service was beyond exceptional. Thank you, Michelle and Charlie for making my day memorable. Michelle made amazing craft cocktails... Charlie provided history about cultivar and the wines ... why he loves certain wines etc . I will be back for more. I also love that they have a TV at the bar..... it makes it an easy place to stop for an after work drink and great meal. read more

I was invited by a local friend to have happy hour (bites and drinks) on a Friday night. We had excellent service, and our waitress was very knowledgeable about ingredients. We ended up staying much longer than expected because the vibes were great. Noise level was perfect, and heat lamps kept us warm all evening. I took a friend back this week who lives around the corner and had an equally strong experience. The hostess and her son were such a local treat to greet us! A much-needed addition for us locals (I am in Mill Valley now). Do not miss this place! read more

I really wanted to like this place as Sausalito lacks in quality restaurants. For the price they charge, I expected better quality. The $28 squid salad was by far the most depressing plate I've had anywhere in a while. It had only a few slices of squid that was not even fresh (it was very pungent). Broccoli soup of the day was bland and boring. The spring risotto was solidly average. I only gave it 2 stars because the cocktail was good and the waitress was nice . It's not her fault the food was mediocre . read more

Nice Atmosphere, great servers but horrible food. Pizza couldn't be more floppy, lobster Mac n cheese had shells in it. Heat lamps were overbearing where our skin was basically burning. Won't be back. read more

It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and we were driving through the area headed home from SFO. Decided to see what looked good in Sausalito and stumbled into Cultivar. The ambience and decor were perfect, and we decided to sit at the bar. We each enjoyed one of the drinks off their cocktail menu, the margarita and the Paloma. Both delicious and refreshing. We ordered the Shishido peppers, but as they were out, they made the dish with asparagus instead, and it was absolutely amazing. My husband ordered the salmon and I had the shrimp Louie. We were both very impressed with our meals that were well balanced, and tasty, and I loved that all of the staff was there to help you when you needed more water, another drink or simply had a question. We will definitely be back! read more
