22 Best Seafood Restaurants near Valley Ford

“We love Rockers, great food and great service“

“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!“

“Perfect for honeymooning 🌝🌚“

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

“Booked last minute on a whim. The food was fantastic. Drinks were thoroughly enjoyable. Seemed like the servers had a lot of ancillary duties, which made service a little slow. We were seated next to the kitchen which we love. Would definitely recommend!“

“One of my favorite all time places!! The food is spectacular - fresh and always so tasty and flavorful!! Fresh seafood, juicy burgers, and the best French fries in the ENTIRE world!! (And all 3 dipping sauces are the bomb! )“

“Me, my brother, and pops stopped by like a month ago on a road trip for my dog, one that brought us through that route and we stopped by, picking up some savory smoked salmon! It was a great experience talking with the owner and it left me with memories I'll cherish since not a month after our trip Brownie, the one we went on the trip for, passed away. Ansolutely stop by if your route takes you there or even better, plan your roadtrip route that passes you through the location!“

“Excellent food- great wine and great service 👍“

“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 😋“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“REALLY GREAT Carnitas!!! Al Pastor ON POINT!! FRESH/DELICIOUS house salsas!! (..just wish they could be spicier) AWESOME energy!! (thank you, Maria!) BEST homemade Jamaica I've had in years!!!! <3 ..Can't wait for Round 2!! ::)“

“Must play !!! Sun, beach and golf“

“We came to Coastal Kitchen at Dillon Beach Resort to celebrate my mom Angela’s birthday, and everything about the experience was outstanding: warm service, delicious food, and one of the most beautiful coastal settings anywhere.

But what really made the visit unforgettable happened after the meal. My motorcycle ran out of fuel, and the team went far beyond what anyone would expect to help us. First the restaurant staff jumped in, then the gift shop team, then the maintenance crew. Together, they found an old hose, helped us fashion a siphon, and got us back on the road. They genuinely cared, and they stayed with us until we solved the problem.

As the owner of Angela’s Organic Ice Cream and Iggy’s Burger, hospitality is something I think about every day. My name is Iggy, and together with my mom Angela, we’re Sonoma and Petaluma locals. We know great hospitality when we experience it, and what we received at Coastal Kitchen was exactly the kind of service we strive to deliver ourselves—treating guests like family.

Thank you to everyone on the team for making my mom’s birthday so memorable and for going so far out of your way to help us. We’ll absolutely be back and will be recommending Coastal Kitchen to friends and family.“

“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.“

“We had a 7:45 reservation and we're not sat until 8 pm. It was noted on the reservation that the dinner was our anniversary celebration, but we were sat at a tiny table in the middle of the restaurant and absolutely no acknowledgement of our celebration was made during our visit. Clearly a table had not been reserved. A woman walking through the restaurant actually sneezed on us as she passed by - we were in the middle of traffic. The appetizers were delicious and my husband's cod dinner was very good as well. I got the NY strip and it was so insanely tough that I could not cut through it. We had to ask for a sharper knife and even then, after sawing for a conical length of time, the piece I got off was too tough to chew. The waiter finally addressed the issue and refunded the steak but that wasn't until after the dinner was over so I didn't get to eat a main course. I would visit again for the other good dishes, but not for a special occasion as it was a subpar experience overall.“

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