The Experience, Richmond: Sailing Goat Restaurant

The Experience:

Sailing Goat Lands at Pt San Pablo Harbor! Opening Weekend Fri-Sun, Apr 28-30.

It’s your new local getaway! Sailing Goat Restaurant will enhance your experience of the beautiful and serene ambiance on the water that is untouched by the rush of life. Only the rush of wildlife peaks your senses as you observe the ospreys out on their hunting trips or the goats walking around close by the meadows.

How did Chef Arnon Oren, owner of Anaviv’s Marketplace and now Sailing Goat, come up with the name? “It was a collaborative effort with the folks at the harbor and everyone around us. We wanted somehow to capture the idea of cuisine from the land and the sea. And we wanted the name to be a little whimsical. Fun.”

Seaside communities inspire the menu with coastal dishes from all over the globe. Just add Arnon’s twist of California Cuisine and sustainability mindfulness to create your unique culinary experience.

What to expect?

Down at the harbor, you’ll relax with wonderful vistas and the gentle lapping of water. Items from the sea and land and gardens will guide the menu. Some cooking will be outside. Stews will simmer in caldero pots on the stove. Besides seafood dishes, fish & chips and wood fired pizzas, other land items will include local fresh chicken. And, they’ll be serving up regional small batch craft beer and wines.

Their menu will change with the seasons and “…will evolve as we get a little more in the groove,” continues Arnon. They will continue to buy fresh produce from their local farm and will also buy from those who tend the vegetable gardens at PSPH. What inspired Arnon to launch the Sailing Goat down at the PSPH was the setting on the water. “The location is magical. I like the location and I felt right about the people at the harbor.”

So many options for you, your family and friends when you visit the Sailing Goat! General Manager Ashley Emery, Chef Ross and Chef Arnon can’t wait for you to come in and say hello! Weekend hours: Fri – Sun, 11:30am – 8:30pm.

PS And here’s a secret many do not know: At +4 tide, there is a small beach down at the harbor! So check your tide book.
