Keep in mind, I only went to the cafe. I loved their seasonal pumpkin chai & butter croissant! Absolute perfection there. The breakfast dish I tried, a green chile quiche of some kind, was mediocre, & the chocolate croissant was average, certainly a reheated probably-not- fresh pastry. Nothing to write home about. The location & inside of the cafe were cool. There were pictures & flowers everywhere, & the cafe was nestled quaintly between the separate lunch building & a gift shop that wasn’t open when I was there on a weekday. It’s certainly worth a stop if for nothing more than a delicious coffee in a beautiful setting.

The food was delicious, the wine decent, the staff very nice and accommodating, and the views gorgeous. So why not 5 stars? Lots of wasps when we were there. It was a weekday so had our choice of tables in all the outdoor “rooms” (all beautiful views of one kind or another). But the wasps know a great spot when they find one. Everywhere we tried to sit they were nearby and wandered over. With an allergic dog, trying to stay away from the wasps was our focus rather than enjoying everything else. The restaurant can’t control where wasps go in the great outdoors. Without them though, it would have been a truly delightful lunch with a gorgeous view.

Not family friendly. They don’t have any high chairs for kids. Tacos were bland as other reviews have already mentioned. Fish was tough. Went to grab salt and saw that the salt bowl was half empty and I knew immediately I wasn’t the only one missing seasoning. When you spend over $70 to feed your family, you’d expect flavor to be included.

Beautiful patio overlooking Bodega Bay and delicious seafood. We had the lobster roll and the crab roll, both perfectly made and relatively reasonably priced. Also had 6 raw oysters, which were super fresh. Then we headed over to their soft serve ice cream shop for dessert, then bought a cool souvenir shot glass in their gift shot. A great one-stop-shop in Bodega Bay!

The outdoor patio is really the only reason to stop here vs other options. The food, while not bad, is priced the same as much better options. The clam chowder was loaded with black pepper, almost to the point of being inedible. I don’t know if that’s normal or I got unlucky. The staff was very transactional. The views are lovely, but that’s not enough for me to return.

Expensive very average food aimed at tourists, there are better places to eat.
Food was really subpar. Service was non existent. Nice views of the harbor though.
We ordered two clam chowders and two fish tacos to split with my wife, along with a couple beers. The cashier didn’t smile and acted disinterested when I asked some questions.
The clam chowder was really disappointing. It just tasted like flour with some cream. No seasoning whatsoever. The clams were super skimpy, and worse, tough and chewy. Some carrots were soft, some were chewy; but why even add carrots to a clam chowder? . It needed a bunch of salt and pepper and hot sauce to make it taste like something. Neither of us finished it.
The fish tacos were in the same category. The batter had no seasoning or salt. The fish had no seasoning either. It was plain as plain can be. Pico has yellow, unripe tomatoes. The guac / cream were ok. For $8.5 a taco, I’d expect some top tier tacos. Not in the slightest.
The IPA was decent, but $9 is pretty pricey.
All in all the meal, for lack of a better term, sucked. The views and gift shop were worth one star though. At least the lady in the shop was nice and there was a chill cat in there
Plenty of other spots to choose from, wish we had gone elsewhere.

This was a wonderful recommendation. Their local IPA was super tasty and the fish & chips were amazing. My wife and I try to get to the Bodega area every year for our anniversary, and this might be a necessary stop in our yearly visit.
