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.

I am in a social group that meets there every week. Recently, they seem to have gotten a new chef and the food is much better than it has been for the past year so if you’ve been there in the past and you were not satisfied, please give it another try we have the best waitress in the world. Her name is Sara and we love her. She makes her experience wonderful with her love and care of us. The view is spectacular and the restaurant is lovely

Loved it ~ the ambiance, food and service were outstanding. The only negative was the loud music. In a small dining room, the amplification of the sound system was overwhelming, which distorted the music to the point that it was annoying.
