Restaurants in Bodega Bay

“We absolutely love coming to Terrapin Grill when we visit Bodega Bay. The cauliflower and octopus salad is a must and the lamb sausage pasta... Phenomenal! And Debbi is a delightful server.”

“They have MY favorite clam chowder on the bay.”

“Fish and chips were delicious! And the pickiest eater loved everything she tried!”

“Amazing place to get a bite. I’ve had Spud’s for a few years now. Their clam chowder is the best I’ve ever had. I live 2 hours away, but make sure I get down to bodega bay every few months. The location is awesome, parking can be not great if it’s the weekend and it’s busy. It’s also great they have specials and locally caught seafood. If you haven’t heard of Spud’s then I’m sorry for ya. 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone.”

“Huria's Pizza catered for our wedding in August 2025 and we loved it!! Adriana was responsive, professional, and knowledgable when it came to emailing and planning logistics for the day. The pizza trailer arrived right on time and set up efficiently. My wife and I didn't even have to think about it! Their decorations and presentation complimented our redwood forest venue nicely. The food was delicious! We had three types of pizzas and two side dishes. The pizzas were freshly cooked. Chef Mohaimen and his team were able to feed 120 of our guests in a timely manner. I would strongly recommend catering with Hurias for your wedding or big event.”

“Always one of our favorite places to eat fish and chips! Fresh, delicious and plentiful!!!!”

“Good food, decent price and very friendly staff! Highly recommend‼️”

“Excellent. A place I frequented many times & would highly recommend The Bay View Restaurant @ ThevInn@ the Tides❤ The food & service was & is impeccable❤”

“I love coming here for the ocean feel and the delicious food. Drove 2 hours just to eat.”

“My friend and I shared a wine tasting which consisted of three small glasses of tasting size. You get to pick the three wines that you want. Not a huge selection., but works. We decided to eat there and I got the crabcakes which were pretty tasty a spicy sauce on top, and there were bell peppers and with the crabcakes. My friend got salmon with the skin was very crispy which he likes but the inside was too rare and he had to ask them to cook it more. It came back, still a bit too rare, and we fed that to the seagulls….The couscous salad that came with it was the best thing of all. I would not run back there but if you’re hungry and in that exact area, it’s a convenient place to grab a bite to eat. They have a couple of different patios outside, and the staff was very friendly. The one remark my friend said was that if they’re going to leave the salmon that raw like they said they usually do, they should ask people how they like it cooked. He loves sushi, but it was too rare for him being that it was salmon. It was a great day to get away from the high heat of Sonoma. We went from the 90s to the 60s wearing a jacket. He had never gone by the school house from Alford Hitchcock The Birds, so we did that on the way out.”

“Must play !!! Sun, beach and golf”

“We found this little gem on the way to get Clam Chowder and the breakfast burrito with bacon was the best burrito I’ve ever had !!! The monkey bread is a must try it’s delicious !!!”

“The food here was so good that we ended up eating here both nights during our trip to Bodega Bay. The flavor is truly something you will not forget. We were so impressed with the quality and the taste of every dish. Sadly we live too far away to visit regularly, but I hope many other people get to enjoy it. This is a must visit if you are in the area.”

“Fabulous, fresh seafood to-go (or at the picnic tables) great service, too, just need to bring your own wine!”

“PAM CHANGED MY LIFE. I would go back again and again for Pam, she made this dinner the experience of a lifetime. If you come, please request Pam as your server, you won’t regret it. Enjoy!”

“This place is so cute!! It was very clean and the staff was super nice and welcoming. There’s no indoor seating but lots of outdoor seating. I got a latte and a breakfast burrito and it was super yummy. I will definitely be coming back on my next trip. :)”

“I saw a post with pic of snickers cupcake and couldn’t stop thinking about them. Contacted Lana and ordered. Yum! Yum! Yum!! Moist chocolate cupcake with a light peanut butter frosting, drizzled with caramel then topped with bites of snickers! Even better than I thought they would be - thank you Lana! I will definitely be ordering again!”

“The best coffee in the world.”

“Watching nature while eating terrifyingly good food. Such a pleasant experience! 🦀🦭🦀🦭”

“While the Blacked Salmon Sliders on pretzel rolls were my favorite, everything was delicious including the margaritas. Happy Cinco de Mayo indeed. Gorgeous views with a magical sunset. The outdoor seating with super warm fire pit was perfection. Highly recommend.”

“We had a fantastic experience at Drakes Sonoma Coast, enjoying both dinner and breakfast during our stay. I really appreciate my friend arranged this amazing trip.

The restaurant has a great balance of relaxed coastal atmosphere with an upscale dining feel. For dinner, the menu stood out with fresh, thoughtfully prepared dishes featuring organic vegetables and high-quality seafood. Everything we ordered was well-executed, flavorful, and beautifully presented.

Breakfast was just as impressive, with a wide variety of options that made it hard to choose. From lighter healthy dishes to more indulgent comfort-style plates, everything we tried was fresh and satisfying.

Service throughout both meals was excellent, attentive, friendly, and smooth without feeling rushed. The overall vibe is warm and welcoming, making it a place you naturally want to linger a little longer.

A great spot for anyone looking for coastal dining that feels both refined and grounded in fresh, local ingredients.”
