Had lunch here, I ordered the chicken sandwich and it was great, my wife had the snapper sandwich and loved it too. Only thing we didn’t love was they didn’t let us substitute fries for the salad that comes with each of our sandwiches. It was a beautiful day so the views amazing. Highly recommend.

Great place, amazing views. Clam chowder is on the lighter (not so creamy) side with whole clams which I prefer. The kale salad was really good. The butter had an odd aftertaste (like buttermilk). The calamari was done well.
Overall, recommend! :)

Great food with the best view over the bay towards SF!
I can strongly recommend this place for the view!
I had a burger which was great. Little pricy but it’s a top location with attentive server and great furnished.
My wife had ravioli with wild mushrooms. Overall her dish was a little liquid.

My husband and I feel so lucky that The Barrel House Tavern is our neighborhood restaurant. The views are great, the food delicious and the staff courteous, fast and friendly. I always feel so welcome the minute I walk in the door. They make good drinks too!

Seated on the patio/balcony, perched right over the water, is fabulous. Everything else — drinks, menu, the rhythm and timeliness of service, is good to fair.
The bathrooms were poorly maintained.
The bartender frequently took his mask off: something we **never** saw elsewhere in a Marin county restaurant during the pandemic.
Indoor seating, especially for tables nowhere near the window, lacks charm.

This is a beautiful restaurant right on the water. We were a party of 10 and were seated downstairs in the patio. The weather was perfect and so was the food. Everything that was ordered was prepared well, plated beautifully and was very tasty. Our server Javier was not only friendly and since we were limited on time, was also very efficient.

Great experience! The views were spectacular and the restaurant was gorgeous. Service was average but everything else was on point. We ordered the king salmon and the mushroom ravioli along with drinks and we all agreed that it was the best meal we had since arriving in California a week ago. Definitely disappointed that I don’t live here so I can’t visit more often. This is a perfect spot for everything from a casual lunch, to drinks, or even a date.

WHAT A VIEW. This is one of my favorite places to visit in Sausalito. I don't know, it is just a fantastic place to have a drink and a meal. Definitely recommend to eat outside overlooking the bay. I guess I am a water person. Love to see the bridge, sail boats, water and all that goes with it. Love the breeze and just the overall vibe of this place. And...the food, not one single complaint and the service is top notch. Visited both trips and will definitely be back again if the opportunity arises, or maybe just take a trip and stop by, who knows. I love everything about this place, as an out of

This place is great!
The Barrel House Tavern located in a beautiful shore in Sausalito. You can easily come and go through a ferry from the city with 13$ only each direction.
The view is amazing and the place looks good.
The food was delicious. We had fried calamari, ceviche, steak sandwich, mushrooms ravioli and salmon with risotto.
All the ingredients were super fresh and the flavors were good.
The cocktails were perfectly made.
Service was good and kind, our waitress was so cool.
The price are a bit high - but fair.
