Salito’s is one of those easygoing waterfront spots that feels very Sausalito. It sits right on the bay, with boats drifting past and just enough bustle to make it interesting without feeling hectic. The menu leans classic and generous: crab, prime rib, seafood, sandwiches, and strong drinks. It’s the kind of place where you can take your time, order what sounds good, and settle in to watch the water for a while.
If you’re traveling with a dog, the key thing to know is that dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating areas. (It can be cool and windy, bring a sweater or jacket). The patio and deck are where you’ll want to sit — plenty of fresh air, bay views, and room for a leashed dog to hang out comfortably at your feet. Staff are used to dogs out there, but it’s always smart to mention you’ve got one when you arrive so they seat you in the right spot.
Salito’s works especially well after a walk along the waterfront or a wander through downtown Sausalito. You can relax, grab a solid meal, and enjoy the scenery without worrying about leaving your dog behind.
