Salito’s has been a regular spot for us since we moved to Sausalito, minutes away and just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. This bay-front gem has super fresh seafood, with dishes prepared to perfection. The management is impeccable and will ensure you have not only a tasty but relaxing, enjoyable time.

Kids are offered crayons and a coloring palette, and there are several kid-friendly menu options. There’s a fantastic raised bar out on the deck where you can hunker down with your stroller-bound family members and order either from the bartender or staff who will mill about. The entire deck is also enclosed, ensuring your kid won’t hurl themselves into the bay. Of course, always keep an eye, just in case.
