The café has over the years become famous for its breakfast and lunch, with American classics like good old-fashioned burgers and a great selection of omelets, along with Scandinavian classics like Danish Meatballs or Norwegian Salmon.
Over the past decade, the café has evolved into the place for breakfast and lunch in Sausalito, with a typical small-town atmosphere – Have a look at what people say about us:
“The perfect spot for breakfast or lunch” – Stanley Eichelbaum in Marinscope
“Great Scandinavian fare” – San Francisco’s Best
“Where locals eat” – VIA Magazine
The café is rather small – 30 seats – and people often stand in line to get their breakfast or lunch.
The success of the café inspired Annette and Gerner to give more people the chance to enjoy the Scandinavian food and small-town American atmosphere. The San Rafael Town Center was found to be the right place to start the second chapter of the Lighthouse story, The Lighthouse Diner.
Opening on October 20th, 2003, the Diner was an all-day restaurant with the food known from the café in Sausalito for breakfast and lunch, as well as an exclusive blend of Danish and American dishes for dinner.
In late 2013, it was decided that the San Rafael location should seek new challenges. Thus, the location San Rafael was closed, and the Corte Madera Cafe was taken over by the Lighthouse.
