Last week on a flight to LA I had the pleasure of sitting next to a very pleasant French chap who also shared a passion for quality dining in SF. One of our fears of moving over the bridge was that we would leave the funky city restaurant scene behind and be stuck with "the local Italian, Indian" etc. To our pleasant surprise we have discovered that there are more and more fun spots in Marin to check out for us married folk. Renault shared one of his favourites in Sausalito, Le Garage and being a dedicated food hound, we paid it a visit today with some in towners.
Finding Le Garage may be the only negative I can find to mention about the restaurant. Just be determined and keep heading towards the water and eventually you will see signs. From the outside is it is nothing special but once inside you are immediately taken by the atmosphere. Great music, bold colours, 50's retro bars stools and views of the marina in what was clearly a converted Garage. Greeted by the owner, we were shown to a comfortable booth where we perused the short but creative brunch menu. Classics like Eggs Benedict were matched with more interesting fare, like Oeuf a la coque, Frisee au Lardons and a quiche Lorraine. The service was excellent, the food perfect. This is definitely on the recommend list for brunch with friends and I can imagine that the scene will be even more appealing in the summer months, dinner menu also looks tasty. Bonne chance!
