Bar Bocce in Sausalito

 A frenzied opening offered up the first glance of the excellent outdoor patio with fire pit and waterfront bocce court. Inside proved a bit loud and bright, but prompt service brought us acceptable wine selections (who chilled the red wines and why?). Local beers may be a better option. Carrot ginger soup was bold and spicy, excellent tender sautéed squid was blended with diced olives, peppers, olive oil and herbs. An intriguing crab pizza, not my first choice, was perfectly cooked with a wood-fired crispy crust and chewy on the inside. Sparse toppings are the style and didn’t disappoint, but doesn't make a meal on its own. Popularity of the outdoor areas for children now keeps many locals away. Limited menu. Moderate.

Check out Free Moral Agents, a new band from long Beach, CA. They feature Ikey Owens of Mars Volta and rev up a groove that's a danceable Bjork-like rocking storm. Strong guitar, bass and percussion hold more than their own and give the lead singer room to squeal. At a recent Bottom of the Hill show, a sloppy but intriguing hard noise set by SBach and a commendable acoustic guitar/drum duo outing by Kevin Seconds opened.
