14 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.“

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

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

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

“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.“

“GF enjoys their clan chowder, I went with a pulled pork sandwich. Was very messy but overall a tasty eat. They don't have a fryer (!) so no fries or fish and chips but they seem to have other good options. I wouldn't call them cheap but they aren't expensive either. We ate outside and enjoyed our day away from the heat.“

“Walked in around 5pm, nice view of the harbor. Food was excellent! I recommend the clamp chowder and Cajun pasta. I love espresso martinis , however I was a little disappointed in the drink. Overall, the service, views, and food were top notch. I recommend ending the evening with a soft service ice cream from Valley Ford. Delicious 😋“

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

“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❤“

“My wife and I had a very nice experience at Drake's Restaurant. The food was great, and the staff was on point with everything. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back again.“

“Must play !!! Sun, beach and golf“

“Drakes is consistently excellent. We're only able to visit Bodega Bay 1-2 times a year, and when we do we always have breakfast/brunch at Drakes. Excellent huevos rancheros, eggs Benedict, omelets. It's all great. The service is always excellent, attentive and friendly. And a great view of Bodega Bay. We highly recommend Drakes!“

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