text: I have been to Sausalido several times over the past few years but have never written a review We decided to go for restaurant week The menu on the restaurant week website looked good Two appetizer choices a salad and two entree choices for including a corkage fee BYOB Hubs went with the restaurant week menu In the mood for pasta I went with the bolognese The server brought over bread with their white beanbalsamic spread Very yummy as always nWe started with the quinoa meatlessballs which was easily the star of the show Anytime a healthy ingredient like quinoa is transformed into something so delicious that I cannot even tell it is healthy that is a homerun in the food world Quinoa cheese and marinara sauce who would have thought The next course was a salad with their white balsamic dressing A standard salad topped off with blackberries a nice surprise nMy bolognese arrived soon after the salad was cleared Unfortunately this is where the meal went downhill The pasta was tender but the sauce lacked flavor for me Although meaty I was hoping for a more of a tomato base I ended up taking most of it home for hubs who really enjoyed his risotto with bacon arugula and blue cheese nThe service was also lacking At the beginning of the meal we spent a significant amount of time looking around and waiting to order When asking questions about the menu we were given either a short answer or said he did not know because he never tried it Overall some parts of our experience were fantastic while others were lacking
