Fred's Place, located at 1917 Bridgeway, feels like the doors to a cozy living room. On a recent rainy morning, I made my way into town and down windy Bridgeway, taking in the views of the Marina on my left and houses in the hills to the right, and knew I'd arrived when I saw the bright yellow awning peaking out from the fog.
There are many tourist attraction restaurants in the small, affluent town, but there are also some old standbys that still give it staying power and charm.
The small corner building is as old-school as you will find in Sausalito. There is still a picture of the original owner, Fred Peters, by the front door. Peters, who passed away in 1988, was a character known for "tossing out quips" and "joshing with the employees" while flipping eggs, frying mountains of potatoes and working the register all at once.
Inside, it almost looked like a grandma's dining room, with round and oval shaped wooden tables that can each sit six. On the walls were photo collages of regular customers and sun-kissed sailboats, their edges faded.
