Our first article on the great Bay Area waterfront destination dining locations was written by LaDonna Bubak in the April 2011 edition. Great Bay Area restaurants you can sail in to! Below is the most ‘comprehensive' list of Bay Area dining/drinking destinations easily reachable from Bay Area anchorages or marinas. Looking for a place to go this weekend. Check out the list below. If we’ve missed someone or the list needs correction .
Sam's Cafe, one of the best known and most notorious destinations on the Bay. Don’t pull in too close - you’ll be aground at low tide.
The tour below starts in Sausalito and works its way clockwise as far as Antioch, then down to Richmond and on to the Estuary before heading to the South Bay and finally the Cityfront. The first listings under an area heading are restaurants with private docks (they're also labeled with an asterisk). Docks are often on a first-come-first-served. Many will allow you to spend the night if you've enjoyed a few too many libations at dinner, or if you plan to go up for brunch, but it's best to ask first. If shallow depths have been reported, the listing is noted with an exclamation point!! Next you'll find the restaurants organized by proximity to any given public marina or yacht club (phone numbers are provided to make berthing arrangements). Our readers' recommendations head the list and are in a bold font, followed by other eateries in the area. Each listing gives the type of food they specialize in, which meals they serve, a price range provided by Yelp.com — $=cheap; $$=moderate; $$$=spendy; $$$$=splurge — and contact info. This list is far from comprehensive, so there are a few things to keep in mind when referring to it:
