“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.“

“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!“

“We love coming here for fresh oysters. You can buy them to go, but we usually enjoy them right there. There are simple wooden tables outside and tables inside, and we almost always choose to sit outdoors — enjoying the fresh air and a bit of sunshine.
Fresh, high-quality oysters, a relaxed, unpretentious atmosphere, and a perfect place to slow down and enjoy simple pleasures.“

“I had my intimate wedding dinner catered onsite at Ginochio's on 10/10. From the early planning conversations with Patty, to her family's kindness and accommodation on what turned out to be a rainy day (Patty and Alicia put out prayers to the rain gods that it would stop for us!), to the INCREDIBLE food AND service, we fell in love with the Ginochio family. Patty and her family were so gracious with our party, as they are with the local community (if you know, you know!). Everyone in our party RAVED about the food and the service. We had a wonderful experience here and will definitely be back during future Bodega trips to experience the regular menu. Thank you again!!“

“We were hoping to try the Coastal Kitchen Dillon's Beach before leaving our glamping trip, Oct. '25, at Lawson's Landing. It was surprisingly Sooooo GOOD! The place is tucked away and only open 4 days a week. Ray had the Best Burger & Fries. I had the Fish Tacos! Outstanding. The clam chowder was so good, we picked up 2 orders to go. Service was excellent, setting Five Stars, cafe was clean! We will definitely make it a top priority when we return next year.

P.S.Congratulations Coastal Kitchen on making the Saturday CBS Nightly News tonight, where a Marin County Hamburger Club voted you one of the Best Burger & Fries! Well deserved!- Nov 8, '25 Request? Offer more days of being open please???“

“My husband and I had dinner here last night, and it was easily the best meal of our trip.

We were able to make a reservation the same day. They were running a little behind when we arrived, but it was no issue for us and absolutely worth the wait. The host walked us over to the lounge bar, where we enjoyed drinks while waiting for our table. I ordered the Spiced Merchant, which was excellent — I would definitely recommend it if you enjoy rum.

The food is priced on the higher end, but the quality, flavor, and portion sizes make it well worth it. My husband started with the Gem Caesar salad, and I had the beet carpaccio, which was incredible (and a must if you love beets). We also added a bread basket, which was a great addition.

For our mains, my husband ordered the pork chop with mushroom bread pudding. He really enjoyed it, and the bite I tried was delicious. I ordered the ribeye. It doesn’t come with a traditional side, but we shared the sautéed mushrooms, which paired perfectly. My steak was cooked exactly right, and the chimichurri was outstanding.

We finished with the crème brûlée special for dessert, which was fabulous and a perfect ending to the meal.

Overall, the service was great and the food was even better. It’s definitely a splurge, but worth every penny. If you’re in the area, I highly recommend making a reservation and dining here.

The only downside is parking if you’re not staying at the hotel (we weren’t). I suggest arriving a little early to allow time to find a spot.“
