Went there on a fairly busy night in the area. Called to see if we needed reservations and they said no. When we got there (with a little difficulty because the road in is not well marked) we found out why we didn't need a reservation. There were maybe two tables occupied. We should have known at that point to... More

We have eaten here for years (even before it moved) and find it one of the best in Bodega Bay. Good simple food. Nothing elegant but if you're looking for taste, go here.

Food was definitely good but the pricing was a little high but then again compared to other places nearby it was a steal so not really sure how to rank it. I ordered a cup of clam chowder and Dungeness crab louie. I found the soup to be average, looser than normal chowder and didn't taste to clammy. I like... More

The restaurant is located on a curb so if you pass it, you might have to drive a little bit before you can turn around. The food was good and the service was quick. I had the crab roll and it was good. Nothing special though, we could not see the ocean because of thick fog, so I don't know... More

My husband and I had dinner there, but found it very pricey for just one course. Usually for $18 one would receive at least some bread and perhaps small salad. Also their menu items differed from the menu given to us by the adjacent motel. One curious note: both our entrees were stated to come with Macaroni & Cheese! We... More

Service horrible; food mediocre. When I go out for lunch/dinner, I don't want mediocre food. I'll never return to this restaurant.

We were in Bodega Bay for the Valentine's weekend. My girlfriend is allergic to gluten so she has a very restrictive diet. We went in and the staff was incredible. They helped us navigate the menu and pick which foods were gluten free. Moreover the chef came out several times to ensure we were take care of and the food... More

Very friendly waitstaff, who are happy to share recommendations with travelers. The food was so-so. The enclosed patio gives you a great view into the nothingness that is Bodega Bay when socked in with fog. It's actually very pretty and strange to see.
