I went here for my birthday with three friends and Sausalido is amazing! First off, the food is delicious. We had the fried gouda appetizer and the daily risotto, crabcake risotto, and the duck entree. I felt the crabcake risotto was a bit on the creamy side (I personally don't like my food that heavy/creamy) but the taste was good. I think we all overloaded a bit too much on the bread, bean dip, and fried gouda. Get the fried gouda. It's amazing.
The best part about our experience was the service. Our waiter was attentive and personable. When we told him it was my birthday he made the appetizer on the house and gave me a free slice of cheesecake. So sweet! Will definitely be coming back :)
