Best pizza in Sausalito. Family-run, intimate, friendly. We go once weekly and look forward to it!

Recommend whatever special is on the menu, Truffle pizza, and the Burrata appetizer.

Cash only :-)

Lori is fantastic! I've been growing my hair out from a really bad cut, so it's in that "bleh" stage.

Lori was able to keep my length, add back in some sophisticated shape and then livened up the dullness with trendy bangs. I couldn't be happier, which is great, because my hair is an unhappy issue for me right now. She's an artist!

The Salon is clean, cozy, and comfortable. Jack, the resident maltese, is so chill that he relaxes everyone. It's a friendly place and I'm excited to be a new client.

Lori also does bang trims for free in between cuts, which just makes the experience a perfect deal. Thanks Lori!

The view is fantastic, which mens the restaurant doesn't have to try too hard at much else, including service.

What was really disappointing was being seated in the main area, which is really loud, when there were empty tables alongside the front. If you go, definitely try to score a table at the window to the right when you go in. Once you're in the main dining room, it's loud and cramped.

Food was average (what you expect at a golf course restaurant). The service was impossibly sub-par. The view saved the day.

This place is great, super glad to have discovered it.

The space is large and dog friendly, you can actually find things you need and want. It's clean and organized (big plus given other stores in the neighborhood). They carry many different raw blends as well as top tier products like Acana.

Some of the less flattering reviews make good points about staff knowledge and price points. That said, I know what my dogs need health-wise and the rewards card does make a nice difference.

I'm not able to get everything I want online and I'm forgetful, so this is a really nice backup.

Every time I go here I have a great experience.

If you love spas with water and whirpools, you'll be a little disappointed. But, as a drop-in for 1-2 hours, it's great. Immaculate, polished, and the staff are the best (most have worked there for more than 5 years - they're like a family).

Highlights:

-Youth As We Know It Facial (you'll get a hand, arm, foot, and head massage too)
-Blissage 75 minute massage (opt for the scented oil for an extra $10)
-Oxygen add-on to any facial

Love the heated massage tables, so comfy!

Great outdoor seating (perfect for dog lovers)!

Coffee = meh (would pass on this next time)

Buckwheat crepes with lingonberries = pretty good
Biscuits & gravy = very nice
Huevos rancheros = lacking (no fresh pico de gallo and came with runny sour cream)

Service = A-OK

There's potential, we'll definitely go again and look forward to trying the sour cream waffles.

Precious Pets Animal Care

Precious Pets dog walking has changed my pugs' lives, they get out onto Marin trails 3x weekly and even get to go off leash with Laurie's watchful eye. The quality of life they now have includes getting to go out in the world and up into the headlands, and they are so much happier.

We moved from the city about 5 months ago and adjusting to the commute wasn't easy, as the pugs found themselves alone for more than 8 hours a day.

Because I have two pugs, I was very concerned about how affordable the service would be and if there would be enough value. Wow! I still can't believe how much value Laurie brings to our lives.

Every "walk day" Laurie picks up the pugs and takes them out for several hours. The routine is that she keeps them in the car as she picks up the full pack and then they do a trail run together and then they tag along until it's time to be dropped off. The experience is way more effective for entertaining and exhausting them than a simple 30 minute walk and the price point is more than fair.

Laurie is super responsive to any question or request & flexible if I have a change of schedule. She checks in with me and sends text message updates. I no longer get stressed out about rushing home.

I highly recommend Precious Pet's Animal Care for dog walking & sitting! They are the best dog walkers in Marin (Sausalito & Mill Valley).

Thanks for all you do Laurie!

We went on a lark and had a terrific experience. Food was farm-to-table fantastic. Atmosphere romantic and cozy, especially for a chilly evening. Recommend sole, fried chicken (scrumptious), and dessert. The service was so good that the table near ours (regulars) just wanted whipped cream for dessert and they made them a special plate.

Mizu = peacefulness in a crazy world

Off of a NYC to SFO flight, the Mizu staff was able to squeeze me in for a mani/pedi, which I enjoyed so thoroughly that I made an appointment for a facial (anti-oxidant vitamin c facial).

That facial set the tone for the rest of my trip. It was incredible, gentle, relaxing, and my skin is still glowing.

The Mizu team is attentive, and the facility is beautiful (heated beds!). Importantly, the facility is spotless and pedicures are given outside of the traditional whirlpools that are notorious for bacteria.

I also recommend the lavender crush body polish and massage.

Lastly, you can expect professionalism, personalization, and a lot of care if you're modest or nervous about any of the treatments.

Thank you Mizu!

In a pinch & with just a few hours notice, Rob & team gladly accepted my pug pack (3 pugs) for a stay of 5 days. I cannot tell you how impressed I was to receive a video of my little guys settled in a few hours after leaving and updates over my trip on how they were doing.

One of my three pugs has some serious health issues with allergies. The staff was attentive, cleaning his ears, and wiping down his face daily. He looked better than when I take care of him.

Each of my little guys eats a raw diet, and the Unleashed team went through the trouble of slicing up and defrosting and preparing these special meals without charging me extra for the extra special care.

Dog owners can rest assured that their pups are in the best hands and enjoy their time away from home. It was like a summer camp for four-legged friends. I'm seriously not sure that Aslan, Lucy, and Paisley are happy to be back home.

Oh, and did I mention that they crashed? I wish I could upload photos here of Aslan on his back with all paws in the air, like he'd been running around Greenpoint or working or something:P

Thank you Rob, Bea, and Unleashed staff. You took care of my most special family members, and you did it with the love I would have.

Pugs Hugs!
CB
