It all started in 1992, when Annette and Gerner Andresen opened the Lighthouse Café in Sausalito in its present form. The Andresens, both born in Denmark, had recently immigrated to the U.S., and along with them they brought the Scandinavian flair for simplicity, good quality and tasty food. The café has over the years become famous for its breakfast and lunch, with American classics like good old-fashioned burgers and a great selection of omelets, along with Scandinavian classics like Danish Meatballs or Norwegian Salmon. Now with four restaurants, The Bar & Grill offers Brunch Lunch & Dinner.
Buzzy spot for upscale American bites served in a white-tablecloth space with waterfront views.

Reviews
We stopped in the early evening on a Saturday 10/26/24, just in time to get half off of appetizers.
Views were great, was fairly empty (probably because of the time), looks like a clubhouse with admittedly dated decor but we’re there to eat, not critique the furnishing.
Calamari was expertly prepared with a delightfully light coating and most importantly, cooked to super tender and juicy perfection.
Onion rings were huge but seemed like just good premade rings, at half off we’d get them again.
For dinner we had
Wild Mahi Mahi with fresh mashed potatoes and wilted spinach.
Nice firm fresh fish, nice mash.
Rex sole with risotto and wilted spinach. Fresh tasting, perfectly prepared, delicious risotto.
Fish and chips
Light crisp coating, generous crinkle cut fries. I think it was swai which isn’t my favorite fish but it was good.
Desert was lava cake, tasty, probably commercially produced but you can’t expect a place like this to have a dedicated pastry chef.
Had a lot of wine to pick from but I had a delicious hazy IPA on tap.
Especially considering the modest price I couldn’t believe they have someone in the kitchen putting out this level of food in such a hidden and modest spot. Because it was early we never felt rushed, it was quiet and calm, our server was attentive and we kept remarking about what a hidden gem this is.
We weren’t even sure we were in the right spot but it’s here. I can’t guarantee you will have the same experience but there is an experienced hand running the kitchen, the food would not be as good as it was without experienced leadership back there.
We look forward to visiting again one day (we live 45-60 minutes away).
One star came off because the outdoor chairs were not very comfortable and ants kept crawling on the table.
Overall a fine meal with a nice wine selection.
Only damper was at night’s end they just announced. “OK you have 6 minutes to leave!”
It seemed very abrupt and it was only 11:00 pm.
Other than that everything was terrific!!
