Our table was by the window, so we had a beautiful view of the bay. Scarlet, our waitress did a great job of pacing our meals so that we could thoroughly enjoy our cocktails before dinner arrived. Both dishes, the pork chop and halibut were divine. The pork chop was cooked to perfection with a lovely mango salsa and mushroom bread pudding. A unique and yummy combination. The halibut was stewed in a corn miso broth with fresh tomatoes and summer squash. Both dishes had wonderfully developed flavors.

Wow!! This hidden gem is a wonderful find! Took my boy Brey to Dillon Beach and then here for brunch. The roads in the area are dicey- on the level of Hwy 1 but worth it. I had the BEST Eggs Benedict of my life!! Seriously the potatoes were cooked exactly how I like crispy on the outside soft inside- nothing soggy or mushy. The bearnaise was perfect, I love when they stick to traditional English muffins and ham- both excellent! Egg poached perfectly. I fear I am now ruined for any other eggs Benny!! In fact a place I subsequently went and ordered used brioche bread - which soaked up all the good flavors and left w w a mouthful of bread!! Thank you for what will likely be the Eggs Benedict that all future EB will be compared with!! Phenomenal!

Absolutely amazing experience at Drake’s Restaurant in Bodega Bay! The food was delicious—we ordered the halibut, and it was cooked perfectly. My daughter had a salad with apple juice, and even the apple juice was really, really good (and super cute, too!). We definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the area. The atmosphere was great, and the food was worth every bite. Don’t miss out on the halibut!

We absolutely loved it! Heaven on Earth! Luis made us feel like princesses! The food was amazing! We enjoyed our cocktails. The views are spectacular with the fire pits when it's chilly you will never want to go home! :-)

We made reservations for their earliest dinner at 5pm and they accommodated with helping us push it out 30minutes. Our server was, Kelsey, and she was super friendly and helpful. We arrived with our baby and was able to choose a booth to sit at so we can sit next to her and feed her too. We had the Hamachi, baked oysters, black cod, mussels with noodles, and a peach mocktail. The drink was a little on the sweeter end but the ice melting helped dilute it. My favorite were the chewy noodles with the mussels and the crispy exterior of the cod with corn sauce. We also ordered the artisan bread (comes freshly warm) with yummy seaweed butter. There’s a beautiful view by the windows too and lots of seating outside with a fire pit to relax at if you’re there for drinks. We also love the convenience of it next to the lodge we were staying at.

I was a bit hesitant to try this place out due to some of the mixed reviews, but it was an incredible dinner experience! Beautiful coastal views and outstanding service from the restaurant staff. My daughter’s “butter noodles” were even delicious. Highly recommend the clams with chorizo and the pork chop mains.
