Bayside Cafe

In Sausalito/Marin City and Mill Valley there is not an abundance of places that serve Brunch, and even less that serve a really good one. Searching and trying every place in Southern Marin for about a year I finally came across the Bayside, that was 20 years ago when my wife and I moved across the highway from Mike's Bikes on top of the hill, over looking the area that used to be the Marin City flea market,before they (Marin County) shut it down and developed the Marin City shopping Center. Since that time I have found some really decent places over the years, but they don't seem to last for one reason or another. The Bayside has stood the test of time, and remains Rock Solid. I moved over 10 years ago from Mill Valley to Northern Marin. I will drive from Novato to Sausalito to eat there. Why ??? Because in my opinion they are one of the best in Marin County. Definitely in the top 3 in my opinion. They have an incredible menu and the prices are very reasonable. This is a family owned business and the whole family works there, everyday they are open. The service is fast, and getting seated right away is usually not a problem. They are very busy most of the time especially on the weekends. Large parties should call to make reservations, there tables and booths seat 4-6 people depending on the people. I know they did a remodel and added additional seating off the back around 10 + years ago, but should consider doing another one if possible to do so. I am very critical of restaurants and the food service industry, as a whole, so for me to give 5 stars is a huge deal for me ,so I hope you the reader keep that in mind. The average life span in Marin for a restaurant is measured in weeks/ months if you are lucky, so for the Bayside Cafe to have stayed in business for 20 + years has got to say something about the place, the family, and the employees. There must be a whole lot of people who share my opinion and love this place as much as I do because numbers don't lie.
