    Well, had to follow my favorite bartender, Bobby, to this place. Beautiful views to enjoy, and parking was fairly easy. I just had the arugula salad and prawns "dipper" from the regular menu, both were excellent! I didn't have any drinks but their speciality menu definitely looks yummy!

    My family has been going to the Lighthouse for years. We love it. It's a mainstay for lunch and dinner. Surrounded by water and San Francisco Bay views. Fantastic food, drinks and service at great prices. Suggest the fruit pancakes at breakfast and the Danish meatballs at dinner-don't miss.

    Salmon lox bagel
    Nandini M.

    We had a great time on Mother's Day! Arrived comically late due to traffic, but they held our reservation! We sat outside by the water, a bit chilly under the umbrellas, but still quite pleasant. We shared the salmon lox bagel, and the salmon eggs Benedict. Both were quite generous with the salmon lox! I wish there had been more hash brown with the Benedict's, but could be I'm just used to that being typically voluminous portion. We had the creme brûlée and their bottomless mimosas too! It felt quite laid back, even on a hectic brunch day like Mother's Day, and the servers didn't leave our glasses empty for too long. Would come back if in the the area! Parking was ok - great considering the busy day - it's within a apartment looking complex in the suburbs and there was also street parking . You walk past a pool and tennis courts to get to it. Felt like it was a local watering hole.

    Great service great food. I love the location of this restaurant right on the water beautiful place to eat.

    Lighthouse cheesesteak

    This is a great spot for some breakfast brunch or dinner. Tucked away in the Marin mountains with beautiful views. Of the bay waters. The staff is great. Very personable and friendly. Jack was our server and did an amazing job. Service is fast and very attentive. The food is very good. I tried some coconut shrimp and Parmesan fries as an appetizer. Fries were great flavored and crispy on the outside and soft inside. The perfect fry. The shrimp was super good. Had all the great fresh flavors. Also had the California club sandwich that comes on Ciabatta bread with avocado and some of the best bacon. So crispy. Absolutely delicious. It comes with choice of side. I had the coleslaw. Definitely made the right choice. Homemade for sure. Super creamy and full of flavor. Also had the Lighthouse Cheesesteak sandwich with a super tender sirloin steak and cheese with peppers and a side salad. This was a great spot. Really enjoyed this restaurant.

    Best kept secret in Marin and a delightful place to dine, unwind and share the Bay waterfront and seabirds experience. The photos show the quality and the service is friendly, fast and professional. We love their salads and the bar is comfy. Now there's a restaurant with water views which is perfect for Al fresco lunches overlooking a beautiful pool and quiet. I liked this off the beaten track discovery and hope it gives you food for thought

    Chicken Quesadilla:   2 kinds of cheese, pico de Gallo, avocado & sour cream
    Jason S.

    Wanted a spot on the water for lunch on the way back to Santa Rosa from SF and found the Lighthouse Bar & Grill. We made reservations for 3 at 1PM and got seated as soon as we arrived. It was a nice day so we sat outside and the views were great! It took about 15 minutes until we were approached to take our drink order. I also checked-in via Yelp to get the free fries and our server knew nothing about them so we did not get them. We ordered beers and they came to our table fast. The rest of the service was just OK. There was only 1 server for the 6+ tables outside and who knows how many they had inside. Food was just OK too. Nothing special but I would go again for the views and a nice outside area.

    Beef Tacos (Taco Tuesday Menu)
    Tj S.

    I found my local Tuesday spot! $3 chicken and beef homestyle tacos. Nachos were amazing, with a generous portion of delicious guacamole. The battered fish taco for $7 off the Taco Tuesday menu was well worth the extra few bucks! I also enjoyed watching the fog roll in over Angel Island and Belvedere! Hidden gem of a place with great prices for the area.

    overall B: weekend brunch with lovely views at end of Strawbery near Tiborun, food decent, service good, sat inside, eggs benedict and bagel with lox.

    Ambiance is lovely and never crowded on weeknights . Our favorite waitress is Sarah, who is lovely. The food was always mediocre but there has been a drastic improvement. We had a t-bone steak which was marvelous and the chicken marsala dinner was very good. They serve Honig wine which I adore! Come back if you haven't been in a year. It has improved.

    Fantastic and underrated. Drinks are solid but they don't have a cocktail menu, so make sure you know what you want. They made me a great espresso martini! Food is excellent, I loved their homemade veggie patty, it's what brought me back as a return customer. So good. Other winners are the crowd (or really, lack thereof; nice to have open space and no wait at peak hours) and the beautiful view with wind protection. Interiors are a little outdated, but so are the prices so I'm not mad about it...you can get cocktails and a meal for 2 at around $50. Very quiet and serene, lovely. Hidden gem!

The coordinator seems to hand off much of her duties to the in-house catering coordinator (who is great) but which led to miscommunications that could have been avoided. Getting responses to emails was usually slow (sometimes 2 weeks!) so we would often just call directly to get answers. Not sure if this is true, but it felt like we were their first wedding. Overall we'd highly recommend the property, just be ready to be very proactive.

The panoramic views are stunning, and the location--right in the heart of Sausalito--is pretty much perfect. The dance floor was comfortable, the vibe was there, and it felt like it had all the makings of a great event. But here's the ik...... and it's the reason for the 2-star rating. The bathroom situation was beyond unacceptable. We're talking extremely small (only 2 stalls for the women), poorly equipped for the size of the crowd, and within 30 minutes of the event starting, the toilets were already breaking down. Not "a little slow"--completely failing. For an event with 60+ women (and drinks being served for FIVE hours), we were left with essentially ONE working toilet. Diabolical. Uncomfortable. Irritating. And it didn't get better--it got worse. Halfway through the event, the second toilet started to overflow. Yes, overflow. It was nasty, and there was no real resolution or sense of urgency from the venue to fix it. Just... left to deal with it. So while the space is undeniably pretty and well-situated, it is absolutely not equipped to handle a crowd of 125+ people. Not even close. A venue can look amazing, but if basic necessities like functioning restrooms aren't handled--and can't be remedied in real time--it completely takes away from the experience. Beautiful space, but not a place I'd trust for an event of that size again.

For my husband and I, the beauty and intimate feel of the venue far outweighed all the other inconveniences of the place (i.e. having to arrange a shuttle for guests due to limited parking and having to be out by 10pm). We had a small wedding (60 guests) and the size of the venue felt perfect for it. Our ceremony was outdoors in mid-July and the reception was indoors. We started early because we knew we'd have to end early. So we had the ceremony at 2:30pm and because we rented out the place the next morning for cleanup, we didn't leave until 9:55pm. I also appreciated the huge and gorgeous bridal suite upstairs. My mom, sister and I got ready there in the morning and the view was so relaxing. It also served a nice private room for my wedding guests who were nursing mothers. I worked closely with Susan Cullen who is the current event coordinator and she was fantastic. She responded very quickly to my emails and patiently answered a million of my questions. She also gave some very helpful suggestions about table arrangements and where to put the buffet, etc. It was a shame that Susan Cullen wasn't the event coordinator the day of. The woman who was the event coordinator (I can't remember her name) was very sour and totally unhelpful. She looked offended when I asked her to help me light some candles on the tables! She is basically the "fun police" - asking you to turn the music down, etc. But she will drink your alcohol and eat your food without doing anything for you in return. If you can ignore the nuisance of a totally useless "event coordinator" and ask someone else to deal with her, the site is totally worth it.

I worked very closely with a club member on the planning, design and logistics. She offered so many great suggestions, including valuable input into the floor-plan to maximize flow and comfort, guidance on different types of floral and decor possibilities and the best location for the cake to insure it was a focal point, but out of reach to children. More importantly, she went out of her way to meet us at the club for several walk-throughs and even accommodated some early vendor deliveries. Truly couldn't have done this without her guidance and support...thank you again, Susan! We had a short ceremony outside in the garden with the reception indoors. Definitely recommend the club for weddings under 120 guests; we had 87 guests and still had enough room to dance and comfortably move around to access the bar, buffet and restrooms. Many of our guests commented on the loveliness of the space and the beautiful views. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and didn't seem to mind taking a shuttle to/from their cars (as the club doesn't have any parking).

The space was perfect for everything we needed, and although we had our ceremony down the road at Old Mill Park, it would have been a beautiful place to have that too. The space is so gorgeous it needs very little additional decoration, and everything you add is just magnified by the surroundings. As a historic building in a small town they have a number of rules and restrictions, and when we decided to book I did wonder if they might be difficult to plan around. But it wasn't hard at all, and everything from the decor to the music was exactly as I hoped and not held back at all. I would definitely strongly recommend booking vendors who are familiar with OAC though, because with them you never have to worry about a thing, knowing they have it handled! I'll specifically mention music volume, as that was the main thing I worried about - we wanted a dance party, and we got one without any issue! Our DJ (Airsun) was really familiar with OAC and with our coordinator (Stacey Dillon) - who herself works there all the time - and they all knew what they needed to do, so I didn't worry for even a second about it. And I never would have guessed there were any sound restrictions by the experience, it didn't hold back the party at all. The facilities manager Dave did a great job with setup and was so kind and helpful about drop off and pickup of all our stuff. We also worked with Rodney of Marin Event Lighting to hang bistro lights (he is the only one allowed to do it) and they were gorgeous and perfect. They also require you work with one of their approved caterers, and Sage did a phenomenal job! OAC is a stunning hidden gem in Mill Valley and I would highly recommend it for any event!
