    Dungeness Crab Spaghetti
    Chad F.

    The interior of the restaurant felt a little confined, but the view was worth it. Service was good despite the busy hour. The calamari was one of the best I've ever had. No joke. The calamari rings were so soft and not chewy at all. However, the portion size is better suited for 1-2 people. The desserts were another highlight. Great presentation to match a wonderful taste. I absolutely loved the orange panna cotta. ***Be aware, there is a San Francisco small business fee/mandate, so expect a % surcharge (above advertised prices) when looking over the menu and ordering.***

    Took a trip to Sausalito for a date and we happened to stumble upon Scoma's while my lady and I were just walking around! The interior of the restaurant gives a totally different vibe than outside. We got seated fairly quickly and our server was very friendly and gave great-sounding recommendations. My lady and I ended up ordering the Curried Cashew Ling Cod, Lobster Fettuccine and Calamari Fritte. We couldn't find any pictures on Yelp on the fettuccine since it was a special so we definitely wanted to try it. Everything was very delicious with my only concern was wishing the cod had a little more flavor. To me it tasted a little plain but everything else was amazing. Definitely a nice little cozy spot and I'm glad my lady and I visited.

    Very fresh and tasty Italian seafood here. Everything was good but the calabrese calamari, Spanish octopus and lazy cioppino really stood out. Only thing about the restaurant is that although it's right on the shore, view is somewhat limited because of the layout of the restaurant if you see seated inside, you have to be near the windows or the bar to sea the gorgeous view.

    Home of the Cioppino, this spot is a great date night spot for dinner and a view. They also have outdoor seating with heaters if you want to sit with your pup. We ordered the scallop risotto, crab cakes, clam chowder and Cioppino. Everything was super delicious and our server Ken was the nicest guy ever! Highly recommend

    We had a lovely dinner at Scoma's of Sausalito. They are located on the waterfront and they have the most spectacular views. They are known for their fresh sustainable seafood and beautiful views of the San Francisco Bay. I had made reservations a week before our trip, for our Anniversary, to guarantee a nice table with the best views, and that's exactly what we got. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and taken to our reserved table. I think they gave us the best table they had. We could see the city of San Francisco and lots of pelicans. Their menu isn't as big as their San Francisco location, but it offers the most popular items like their famous ciopppino and many other dishes. We were brought ice waters and sourdough bread and butter. The bread was so warm and fresh. Very comforting. My husband ordered their special of the day, which was the grilled wild California king salmon. And I ordered the linguine con vongole, which is linguine with clams. Our food came out fresh and hot. My husband loved his salmon. My linguine and clams were good but overly salty. Our waiter noticed I wasn't eating my dish and asked if everything was okay. I let him know that it was very salty. Without hesitation, he removed my plate and had the kitchen remake it for me. He was so nice about. My remade dish was brought out to me and it was perfect. There were a hefty portion of the clams and the linguine was cooked at a perfect al dente. The manager came out to apologized for my first dish being overly salty and wanted to be sure the remade dish was just right. I really appreciated their kindness and making sure our evening was perfect. You can tell that they really care about their customers. At the end of our meal, they surprised us with a delicious piece of tiramisu for our anniversary. The plate was decorated like a piece of art with chocolate. The tiramisu was delicious and the perfect ending to our delicious meal.

    We had a wonderful lunch here during our first visit to Sausalito. The food was outstanding, the waterfront views were beautiful, and being able to sit outside with our dog was a huge plus for us. This is definitely on the more expensive side, but for a special lunch or a first-time visit, we felt it was worth it. The quality of the food, the atmosphere, and the location made for a memorable experience. The only service issue we experienced was at the beginning of our meal. It took approximately 15-20 minutes before we received water, and guest ( they knew pretty well ) arrived after us appeared to be served immediately by 3 different servants with water and wine. We felt a bit overlooked and unwelcomed during that time. However, I do want to give credit to our waiter, who recognized the delay and apologized, which we appreciated. One additional surprise was being charged $2 for hot water with lemon. As someone who does not drink iced water, I often order hot water with lemon and have never been charged for it before. On a lunch bill approaching $150, that charge felt unnecessary and a little unwelcoming. It certainly wasn't about the $2 itself, but rather the principle of it. That said, the food and overall experience were excellent. I would not take any stars away because this place is truly a gem with delicious food, gorgeous views, and a welcoming outdoor dining area for guests with dogs. Highly recommended, especially for visitors looking for a memorable waterfront dining experience in Sausalito.

    This was such a fantastic restaurant in Sausalito!! Do not miss out on this place!! I don't know if I'll ever be back in Sausalito so I wanted to choose a restaurant that was iconic and very special--this place did not disappoint! The food was exquisite -- my mom and I ordered the cod, the peach salad, and the Louie shrimp salad (without the Louie dressing since it has dairy)! The waiter was incredible and so friendly - the main dishes took about 30 mins to come out so we munched on the peach salad & bread beforehand and enjoyed the gorgeous waterfront views (included below)!

    Nice view of the bay. We were sat quickly. Server was nice. Had to ask for bread and for our water to be refilled. Kid enjoyed his linguine with meatballs and red sauce. Husband said the short rib was ok but he would have ordered my crab spaghetti if he could re do it. The crab spaghetti was a good sized portion, nice flavor with a little kick but not overbearing).

    I was craving something hearty and delicious, and trying their clam chowder turned out to be a great decision. It was rich, flavorful, and served with crackers on the side. Upon being seated, guests are offered either still or sparkling water, and the meal begins with complimentary bread. The portion was just right -- about four pieces -- enough to enjoy without getting too full before the main dishes arrived. We also ordered the calamari as an appetizer, and it was excellent. The calamari was perfectly crispy, the batter was light rather than overly thick, and it tasted incredibly fresh. Compared to many of the surrounding restaurants, the wait time here was minimal, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We chose to sit outside, and the atmosphere was beautiful. The waterfront scenery and stunning views created the perfect setting for a relaxing dining experience.

    TL:DR - pricey but satisfying. Parking - always difficult in Sausalito. Best to try the major lots and walk in Pro Tip: Parking is available next door in the Trident but the cost is $18/hr regardless of what is posted. Convenient but pricey Service - very good. Very prompt and efficient Ambiance - old school waterfront vibe. Food delicious Crab cakes - very satisfying Artichokes - a little under seasoned for me and a bit messy but still spot on Seared ahi - delicious.

    My beautiful wife. And the sourdough bowl.
    Mark L.

    Went there for lunch today. It wasn't too crowded and service was fast and efficient. My wife and I split are meals when we eat out. Had the clam chowder in a sourdough bowl. To both of us this was better than Boudin in San Francisco. We devoured it before I could take a photo. For our main course we had braised wagyu short ribs. Delicious and rich. Portions were average but the sauce on the short ribs was a reduced wine sauce with tons of flavor. Ambiance was amazing as it was a beautiful day. We sat outside, what a view! Unfortunately, we won't be going back. The problem is parking. 18 dollars per hour? Insane! We stayed approximately an hour and a half. Parking was $27. Yikes!

    OMG! This place is freaking absolutely beautiful stunning and amazing! I have always wanted to dine here and finally had the opportunity last Sunday. Not only was the food fantastic, the staff was amazing and professional, and very friendly. They made sure that not only I but my dog had everything that we needed. Moreover, the manager of the restaurant made it a point to come by and check on us and say hello to my dog which meant the world to me. This place is amazing and I will always dine here as much as I can. I highly recommend this place. The only caveat is that it's so popular. It's very busy so I recommend making reservations.

    Parking a block or so down

    Amazing salmon with fresh corn. The other fish dishes we had were all so super fresh. Highly recommend. Public parking about a block away. We will be back

    Ask the Community - Scoma's of Sausalito

    Is there handicap parking near the restaurant? Is there parking at the restaurant?

    There is valet parking available next door. The parking is actually for that restaurant, but I THINK anyone can park there. There is a charge. I am not certain how much, but paid parking in Sausalito is not for the budget conscious.

    Where is parking available?

    Is this place dog friendly?

    Yes well behaved dogs are allowed on deck.

    Do you have heaters now for outdoor dining?

    Hi Joy, Yes, We have 4 heaters on our south deck.… 

    Are there gluten free options?

    Just order gluten free items. No gluten in unbreaded fish, rice, veggies, potatoes, fruit. Just don't eat bread or other baked goods, or fish filets that have been floured and fried (petrale sole, etc).

    Do you need reservations for lunch for two on a Friday?

    Hi Rachel. We always accept walk ins but reservations are the best way to quickly get a table. We hope to see you!

    Does this restaurant allow babies?

    Yes

We ordered Fried fish tacos instead of grilled and a burrito. The chips and pico de gallo for $5 is very good, we ordered at the bar. The garlic fries are so good, every piece with great flavor and crispy. The burrito is huge and very filling, but our fried fish tacos are excellent, my wife really liked them, 2 on a plate with everything on them. It's quite messy to eat these tacos, they're big. Anyhow, compare to the Halfmoon Bay fish tacos that we liked, this is quite delicious. There are quite many beers served here but we didn't have any. This is a great fish place, but quite hard to find parking and in a very busy street.

After reading some reviews here I knew it was a small place, so I was pleasantly surprised I could get a reservation during our trip to Sausalito. My husband and I had recently enjoyed some caviar for the first time but we are no experts, and I was a little worried that he might not get enough to eat. Turns out we both left perfectly satisfied. The place is tiny but so elegant. The bar is right in front of the kitchen that is sparkling clean and the chef prepares everything right there. There is a little high top table too and there was a couple there when we arrived, but afterward it was just us and we felt like royalty treated to our private dinner. We aren't caviar experts by any means but Yo did a great job explaining the different caviar flights including where it comes from - turns out the white sturgeon is farmed in the Sacramento Delta. We chose the Menage a Trois white sturgeon flight and it was so elegant. Three kinds of caviar plus all these homemade breads and crackers to enjoy it with. Every bite was amazing and I think we only left a couple of chives. Afterward we picked a couple of other dishes - the Chawanamushi and the Dungeness crab ravioli. Both were exquisite- in flavor and presentation. For dessert we had the sweet potato - Yo described it as a ganache - which I couldn't really picture but it was a very accurate description. It came with asian pear and was just the perfect finish to our meal. I had a couple glasses of French bubbly with my meal - normally I can't do more than one glass of champagne but it was crisp and yummy and paired well with everything we ate. When we were finished we got our check in a cute sturgeon pulp science fiction book. It was the final thoughtful detail to a wonderful evening. Chef Lance is a real artist and he really thinks through the ingredients and the flavors. Everything was so delicious and creative. I hope we get to come back again someday.

My sister was cold and really didn't want to have to sit outdoors so we almost opted for to go food, but ultimately chose to dine anyways, and I'm so glad we did. I'll start by saying EVERYTHING was incredible. From the food down to the service we received. All of the staff we interacted with during our time there were very kind and attentive. For starters, when we arrived, I told our waitress we had a dog and she directed us to a table on their "indoor patio ", so we we're basically sat indoors, which was really nice. We weren't cold at all, and had we been, it looked like they had overhead heaters! We ordered their bread service, the warm trout dip, truffle fries, steak & frites, the burger, mussels/clams, the chocolate tart and creme brûlée. It was all delicious. While eating our appetizers, our poor pup got sick and threw up under the table :( we tried to discreetly clean it and felt really embarrassed. Entrées came out a few minutes later, and while eating our entrées, it happened a second time. At that point, we were ready to ask for the food to go, because we were feeling so thoroughly embarrassed. As I started cleaning the vomit a second time, our kind waitress came over and told me she would take care of it. I apologized repeatedly, and we felt sooo bad. She was so kind, and gracious towards us, telling us it was okay. I never got her name, but I wanted to let her know just how much we really appreciated her assistance and for not making us feel worse about what had happened. The way she handled the situation, was the epitome of dog friendly service. I'm not sure why our pup was so sick at the restaurant. My guess is he may have swallowed some water while playing at the beach. I just really wanted to express my gratitude for you all allowing us to enjoy a nice meal and continuously treating us kindly and respectfully after our poor boy got sick in your restaurant. Thank you again! If you're looking for a restaurant with delicious food, great ambiance and even better service, THIS IS IT

There was something indescribable, though, that hinted that they rely on the picturesque views to make up for food that is "good" - but not "great." Let's start on a positive note. You can't beat the view. Our server was well informed about the menu, attentive, and friendly - but unwilling to help too much with the menu selections. "Everything is good" is a bit of a pet peeve of mine but I'm not holding this against the rating of this restaurant as that's pretty server-specific. We started with a half dozen local oysters on the half shell which were actually amazing. Perhaps the most mild tasting oysters I have ever had and served with a champagne mignonette, cocktail sauce, and fresh horseradish - all of which paired nicely. For my main course, I had the petrale sole - a very mild, delicate, Pacific flatfish. While flaky and tender, it did lack flavor and was served with some relatively uninspired accompaniments - a saffron rice and some roasted vegetables which was mostly green beans and celery. One of my friends ordered the paella which he said was "great." Overall very decent experience on par with so many other coastal restaurants that know they can fill the seats with the amazing views alone. I would definitely come back - but would likely order something different... except for the oysters - those were a must to order again!

    This is a long-established restaurant, and I've visited three times over the years. Each visit has…read morefelt a little different, but the scenery has always been absolutely beautiful. As for the food, I wouldn't describe it as exceptional--it's decent but fairly average. If judging the food alone, the prices feel rather high and difficult to justify. However, when you take the wonderful views and location into account, the overall experience feels somewhat more worthwhile. Since it is located in a popular tourist destination, the higher prices are understandable, though still a little excessive in my opinion.
