19 Best Seafood Restaurants near Dillon Beach

“Came for a burger at the recommendation of the Marin Burger Club. Almost everything about the burger was superb, except the bun to patty ratio. With how large, dense, and flavorful the bun was, it slightly dominated the burger. The entire time I was eating it, I couldn't help but wish that the patty were 50% larger. Even so, the view, and the ride to get to the restaurant, made up for it. Looking forward to coming back, though next time I'll explore the rest of the menu.“

“Food is good. Staff are friendly!“

“If you are in the area, this restaurant is a must!! It’s such a cute restaurant next to the water and you can’t beat the view, plus the food is delicious.
Highly recommend the oysters, crab sandwich, clam chowder and you can’t leave without a trying their soft serve, probably the best soft serve I’ve ever had.
There is two big areas to seat right and left of the restaurant. Can’t wait to go back!!“

“They have MY favorite clam chowder on the 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.“

“Perfect for honeymooning 🌝🌚“

“The oysters were delicious, I loved them“

“Purr-fect Tacos at Out the Door

We had a claw-some taco feast at Out the Door! Tried the fish taco, mushroom taco, and schnitzel taco—each one was paws-itively delicious and packed with fur-midable flavor. The ingredients were meow-velously fresh, and every bite was bursting with a paw-some blend of textures and spices.

The fish taco was light and zesty (a real catch!), the mushroom taco had a savory richness that was un-fur-gettable, and the schnitzel taco was a meow-sterpiece with a fun twist that totally worked. It’s clear the team here knows how to whip up purr-fectly unique and memorable dishes. Highly recommend for anyone craving bold, fresh flavors!“

“This is my favorite stop before heading into Bodega Bay!! Best Oysters in Town👌🏽💞“

“We've eaten here several times. It's a favorite of ours when we're in the Bodega Bay area. My husband and I like to share a cup of their (in our opinion) delicious chowder along with each us having one of their huge and tasty breakfast burritos.

This last time we went, we actually didn't get a chance to eat because their power had just come on after having been out since 10pm the night before. They had noticeable signage out front and they politely let us know when we pulled in. Unfortunately, our young son had gotten car sick on the drive up, so we took a moment to clean him up before leaving. The man working their offered to let us in to use the restroom to clean him up, and while I was taking that offer up, he offered my husband some towels to clean up the car (we had some, but still appreciated the offer). We just wanted to let people know that the customer services here is awesome, even when they aren't able to take customers.“

“We love Rockers, great food and great service“

“Outstanding fish and chips. The cole slaw had a funny under taste to it, couldn't finish it. We had bread pudding for dessert (my favorite) however they put a pecan, sauce over it which was way to sweet , unfortunately I couldn't eat it. The atmosphere and service was good.“

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

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

“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❤“

“Must play !!! Sun, beach and golf“

“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.“
