Sailing Goat Restaurant: Unique Music Venue with Delicious Pizza and Seafood

What a treat! I had never heard of this little gem before, but the food was delicious, the weekend atmosphere was wonderful (live music after 1 pm), the sunshine was beautiful, and we had a great time I plan to return!

Great spot for live music and good food. Hidden away on the bay, it's such a hidden gem. The chicken shawarma and the fish & chips were both great.

What a cool spot! An online post had said this place has good fish and chips; but it had more than just that. Good vibes, band playing on a Saturday (when we visited), and a good variety of items on their menu. Taking a stroll out here was cool too. Service was slightly slow - but that was ok since we didn’t feel rushed. Many of us were surprised this place existed and didn’t know it was out there. Will be back…

We had such a great time at Sailing Goat! The music was on point, the vibe was relaxed and fun, and the whole place just felt welcoming. And the fish and chips? Absolutely delish—crispy, flavorful, and hit the spot. Definitely a place we’ll be coming back to. If you’re looking for a fun night out with great music, good food, and great vibes, this spot is worth checking out

A hidden gem in Richmond! I only had the Fish and Chips and it was the best I have ever had. The batter was thin but insanely crispy, so it was really the fish that I was eating. Talking about the fish, it was fresh, tender and flavourful, I highly recommend it! I came on a weekday so the restaurant wasn’t that packed but like 50% filled, the server was friendly and attentive. The restaurant offers great view of sea, which is peaceful to look at. The bathroom was clean and pretty spacious (and it is a shack), and I was delightedly surprised. By the way, the restaurant is dog friendly, will definitely go again.

Awesome hidden gem tucked away in a cute little marina that I didn't know existed. It's a perfect afternoon getaway. The food is delicious. Simple and unique menu with good options for people with different diets. Most of their best items just happen to be gluten free. Even the fish and chips, and they do the best fish n chips ever. It's a great place for brunch or an afternoon. Nice selection of beers and wines, live music in the afternoons. It can get cold in the winter since it is all outside, but they have heatlamps and the seating area is covered. Today was a perfect day, low 60s, and the roof lets the light in and acts like a greenhouse so it kept it nice and warm. They have heatlamps for when it's not so warm out. Staff is sweet. Service can sometimes be slow but this is not really a place you want to be in a rush. The food is made fresh and can take some time to come out when it's busy. Only little glitch we had today was the chowder came out cold (pretty much room temp) but once I mentioned it, they took it back and brought us back a bowl of piping hot chowder. I think it was just sitting out while waiting for the fish to be ready. Not a big deal and they took care of it promptly and even made sure it we were happy with it. The fish chowder is delicious. The fish n chips are probably the best I have had in the bay area. I went for the option to add a grilled cheese which was also really good - smoked cheddar on Acme batard toasted in a panini press. Apple crumble was also so good. You wouldn't even know the crust is gluten free. Came here for brunch a few months ago with friends and we all loved everything we ordered. Their salads and appetizers are really good too. Prices are reasonable for the quality and portions. Food is fresh and thoughtfully prepared.

This place is truly a hidden gem in Richmond and in the Bay Area. I've heard about it years ago, but never came to explore this place and then this past weekend without checking to see if it was still open and functioning, I decided to pay a visit. The road is narrow with blind sharp turns so drive slow and share the road. It feels like you're lost at times, but keep going. I had had lunch before coming here so I didn't check out the restaurant, but the atmosphere felt nice and cozy.

As a gigging musician (The Real John Gary) you cannot beat this spot. Incredibly family-friendly and dog friendly. Best fish-n-chips in the bay. Always a friendly crowd and friendly staff. Oh, yea, and the view. Come out on Friday/Saturday/Sunday for great live music. Thanks for supporting local musicians!
