13 Best Seafood Restaurants in Bodega Bay

“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.“

“Sourdough bread bowl was excellent! Fish taco were gluten & dairy free... loaded with fish & fresh toppings! Very hearty servings!“

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

“Wow! What a gem! If you are looking for outstanding chowder, you have to try Ginochio’s Kitchen. Best chowder we have had in California. The owner is a sweetheart who knows everything about the town of Bodega Bay.
Huge parking lot with lots of spots. Clean restrooms. Food comes out quick and piping hot.
We finally got to try their breakfast burritos and they did not disappoint. Huge and filled with delicious pulled pork.
We will definitely be back soon!“

“We enjoyed a small cup of clamps chowder, garlic bread and the pan fried fish sandwich. Really like the chowda...it was not typical heavy cream, it was lighter with some herbs with good amount of clams and potatoes. Will get it again but next time a Large! I really enjoyed the pan fried fish sandwich. Lightly breaded pan fry with slaw, good Cajun type sauce and was obviously fresh fish! Will be back!“

“We stopped in on a Tuesday for lunch. We were seated promptly. Server was very nice, took our drinks order and then our food order.
Wifey had steak fries, I had the fisherman's stew and a cup of clam chowder start
Chowder came out, it was good, crispy bacon on top, plenty of clams, good flavor. It came with a piece of delicious bread with garlic butter. Yum!
Entrees came out shortly after, my wife's steak looked good, the sauce on it was great. She said it was cooked correctly and really enjoyed it
My Fisherman's stew was the bomb, tons of seafood and the Creole broth was spicy and very flavorful, plus two more pieces of garlic bread. I thoroughly enjoyed it
We definitely enjoyed ourselves and will be back
I would give 4.5 stars if I could“

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

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

“Had the pleasure of staying on the property and hit the restaurant and bar a few times. You must make a reservation to sit in the dining area for dinner. Bar seating and outside is FCFS and we enjoyed the bar just fine. Drinks a couple nights were off the charts - I believe Nick was bartending. Other night was just average. Shrimp and artichoke dip should be illegal, it is so good. You might consider not sharing it! The steak was great. I feel the real winner is the breakfast. Everything was amazing. Salmon benedict was crazy because the salmon was so good. Huevos Rancheros was killer and the salsa was perfect. French toast kills the sweet tooth and matched perfect with the savory things if you like to share. Only downside was there tended to be a bunch of loud babies and kids in the bar and outside. That was not relaxing. Live music was a big plus.“
