The stone bench and mosaic tile on the ground are restored and beautiful, and appear to be in pristine condition as of April 2024. The lovely poem engraved onto the memorial was written by O'Connell several months before his death in 1899. With lovely plants and shrubs, creating a garden-like environment, it's a nice little historical piece hidden among the neighborhood homes at the cross of Atwood, Bulkley, and Harrison Ave.

When you enter it is through the CUTE gift shop. We didn't listen to the tour as we had small ones with short attention spans. We did visit everything! Many educational displays! You can touch skins and see skeletons. We learned about the center and the marine hospital.. Here they rescue injured and sick marine life and nurse them back to health, how crazy awesome is that? At the viewing area where you can see the patients they have binoculars so you can get a good look. The day we were there, just a few were waiting to be released back into the wild. Which is wonderful, still less fun for the kiddos. We will absolutely be back! Another reason to love this area;)

Once the tour got started we listened to how many different types of seals the center accommodated with rescues that were elephant seals, harbor seals, California sea lions and on occasion otters. We had a chance to see some of the patients from an elevated platform. The volunteers also made the animals' food, ran the gift shop and of course were our tour guides. Because the place thrives largely on donations, we bought plenty from the gift shop including stuffed seals, whales, magnets, snow globes, and stickers. Fun free place to bring the kiddos, not to mention the beautiful views you see in and out of the way.

That's okay, because it saves my pocketbook and still gives me a cute area to stroll through.

I recommend making a reservation as a place is uncomfortably squished.

You have to look for street parking in the area, I would suggest coming just a tad bit early as there are several restaurants in the area and they all seem to get pretty packed

There was a traffic accident on the highway so our arrival time was delayed . We called the restaurant and the lady was very kind and helpful. She helped us move the reservation time from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm . She promised that we may have to wait a little bit . By the time we arrived , our table was reserved and set up so that we could start ordering out late lunch. We were very hungry and they gave us another loaf of bread after the first one ! We ordered calamari fritter as appetizers. The calamari was fresh from the ocean ,so tender and delicious. It was marinated and cooked to perfection . We wanted to order a second one right after we finished it ! We have tried the signature clam chowder , Alaska halibut, three orders of the lazy Cioppino ( it has Fisherman 's stew of crabs , clams , mussels , fish , calamari in a tomato clam broth ) The crab meats were fresh and delicious, clams and calamari were tender and fresh from the ocean, so many giant prawn and fish cooked to just right and I could barely finish all the seafood in one order . The broth tasted amazing and it came with two roasted garlic butter sour dough bread . We love seafood Cioppino and this was one of the best one I had , both in presentation, quality and quantity of the seafood . Another family member ordered linguine con vongole ( linguini with fresh Manila clams , garlic , white wine , butter , chili flakes and butter ) . It tased like heaven with the white wine sauce and the fresh clams were so juicy and tender. The restaurant is nicely decorated with windows and ocean views . I love the handing lamps and the wall paintings. It offers elegant dinning with a warm and personal ambiance. Focus from " pier to plates " dinning with daily fresh catches . Guests consistently praise the exceptional freshness of the seafood and the romantic bay views . A blue ship was moving into the bay while we dinned and we enjoyed watching and experiencing the fresh ocean breeze and took photos outside and indoor . Service was exceptional and attentive . I give this restaurant 5/5 and would love to come back again for more family event .

However Scoma's delivered! Had a reservation at around 6pm on Labor day and I've never seen Sausalito so crowed before! We luckily wound free street parking. Had a table with a great view. We ordered: 1. Clam Chowder: Super creamy and delicious. Bowl is kind of small but it was enough to share between 4 people to have a taste. Lots of clams. 2. Lazy Cioppino: This was the dish I was most excited about because it's going to either make or break the restaurant and DAMN was it good! So much seafood and it was SO fresh. I only had 1 clam that did have some sand in it but the rest was super fresh and flavorful. Lots of crab on top. We ate every single bite with the bread to soak up the sauce. 3. Fettuccine Linguini Frutti di Mare: of all the dishes, this was probably the weakest. Not that it was bad but it wasn't anything special. The shrimp were really big and crunchy showing it's fresh. The sauce was good but not as good as the Cioppino. 4. Risotto Milanese & Scallops: This was my favorite dish of the night. The scallops were probably the best scallops I've ever had. A bit on the salty side but I loved it. Super fresh and soft. Melts in your mouth. The risotto was perfectly cooked and seasoned. 5. Calamari Calabrese: This was also delicious. I was wary because they have a sauce version (calabrese style apparently) or the non sauced which we wanted to try something different and the sauced was perfect amount of sauce and didn't soften the crunch. Overall, great restaurant with great views and great food. Food came out pretty quickly within 10-15 minutes. Service was good but not amazing. They kind of just drop off the food and otherwise are kind of hard to get in touch with. I felt bad because the table next to us tried to get the waiters attention for like 20 minutes and they were kind of ignored after their food came out. One thing I also noticed that a lot of different restaurants do now is they will settle the bill at the table which is great but they put the tip choices in front of you and stare at you as you pick rather than writing it in. Yes we will tip but not sure if they're just hunting for bigger tips if the customer feels more pressured? I've had it happen at multiple different restaurants now which is uncomfortable. Either way we had a great time here and would definitely be back.

A Sausalito celebrity, this guy balances rocks and stones on top of one another, point to point, side to side, in ways that defy gravity. Usually Bill Dan sets up shop on the weekends outside Piccolo cafe on Bridgeway-- just look for the crowd gathering around him. While it is more fun to see the man in action creating his natural sculptures, there are usually some remnants of his performance that linger along the waterfront well after he has left so keep your eyes peeled. Everyone has their theory on how he does it. I think he has a magnetism that comes from within and charges the rocks so that they stick to one another. Whatever your theory, be sure to take home some of his polaroids so that when you tell your friends about this guy's skills, they'll believe you. Really though, this is something you have to see with your own eyes to believe!
