This is our second time to have dinner at this hidden gem in Bodega Bay. The service and food are exceptional. I had Halibut and my husband had the pasta dish. I think this is the best halibut I have ever eaten. My husband also raved about his pasta dish. Don't forget to order the bread, also delicious. Finished off our dinner with a wonderful chocolate cake.

Excellent service. Great cocktails. The raw oysters may be the best I've ever had. The ribeye prepared medium rare was delicious. The soup of the day was cream of corn with jalapeno oil. So good. Not to mention the seeded bread with olive oil. Thank you for a wonderful evening.

The food was amazing, as usual. The people who work there are just so kind and accommodating. We've been there many times and it never disappoints from stater to dessert.

Debbie our waitress was all smiles and attentive. Duck and homemade pasta superb. As well as the corn soup and tomato/peach salad. And let's not forget about the yummy martinis that were done to perfection with the ice crystals displayed on top.

We went there for my birthday the last weekend and I can't think of a better restaurant to celebrate it! My two daughters and I thoroughly enjoyed everything. I especially appreciated the French gentleman (William) who served our table. He was very attentative and gave very good recommendations from wine to each dish we had. I only wish I live close enough so I can go there frequently!

We were blown away with the quality and the freshness of the food. Small unassuming place with extraordinarily nice people and great service. We started with the hamachi crudo and oysters which were both amazing. My wife had a delicious octopus and cauliflower dish as her entree and I had the pasta, which was literally as good as any pasta we've had in Italy. Just amazing !

By far, our favorite restaurant in Bodega Bay. We have date night here every time we are there. The food, service and wine list are all impeccable. The cooking is fantastic, and every dish is delicious. It's like eating dinner in their home, warm and cozy with a great meal. We will continue to return and recommend to anyone who visits Bodega.

Great spot for a fine dining experience in a rather casual town. Top-notch service and delicious food. They helped us celebrate my wife's birthday and took great care of our 4-year old. Cozy ambience with a good energy.

The Duck, steak and pasta as well as the salads were delicious. Service was excellent and the staff were very accommodating to two vegetarian guests. The crudo appetizer was outstanding. The chocolate cake and bread pudding were also delicious. A great experience over all.

The setting is informal and comfortable. The service is impeccable, the food was delicious and we would go back any time. Only fly in the ointment is that it is a fair distance from our home in Sonoma.
Five stars in every way—the place, the service, the food. My wife had the steak – a ribeye, which was predictably terrific. I had the pasta with lamb sausage, spinach, peas, and feta, and it was outrageous. I don't think I've ever had a better pasta dish.

Anything on the menu is delicious. We each ordered our own starter: Roasted asparagus salad, & scallops. We shared the Olive Oil Poached Halibut. All outstanding. We tend to split entrees now because we are eating less & feel better. Cocktails & wine were great. Desserts are not to miss!

Oh my gosh! I can't rave enough about this restaurant! I've been hearing about Terrapin Creek for years, but we live in Santa Rosa, so it's a bit of a trek. It's absolutely worth the drive! We started with the asparagus and mushroom salad, which had such unusual flavors and was absolutely delicious! I followed that with corn soup with jalapeno drizzle, as smooth and velvety as you could possibly imagine. For my main dish, I ordered the scallop small plates, which were prepared to perfection. My husband had the beef ribeye with sides of potato puree and broccolini -- also outstanding. Dessert was creme fraiche cheesecake with raspberry sauce, so light it was like biting into a cloud. Not only was the food exception, but the service also was superb, with a server who was knowledgeable and attentive but not intrusive. The restaurant itself is attractive, cozy and fairly quiet. We had a marvelous evening and will be back soon -- so many delicious items on the menu that I wanted to try!

Lovely fine in the remote area of bodega Bay. Quaint, ambience, excellent service, and the meal was exquisite. The corn chowder purée was outstanding, and the poached halibut was the best I have ever had. My wife had the pork chop, which was also moist and tender and outstanding. Highly recommend and would return.
