8 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Bodega Bay

“My friend and I were in Occidental CA. Wanting to go to Bodega Bay 1/2 drive for lunch at the Fisherman's Cove, the place that people rave about. Now I know why LOL. A really cute place with both indoor, patio seating and stools by a counter to look out at the bay. We arrived around 3:30 PM and got super lucking with parking. A car was pulling out as we entered. When you walk in, it's like a country store, that serves food. Menu is on the wall along with a board with specials. You order and pay at the counter. You are given a number that your food get delivered to wherever you are seating. We decided on the Calamari and Chips, Dozen Raw Oysters and a couple of ice cold Lagunitas IPA. I tell you these oysters I had were so fresh, fairly big, creamy and delicious. The calamari, light, crispy and perfectly fried! We say at the window counter eating while admiring the beautiful view if Bodega Bay. Atmosphere: Off the dock seafood feel. Service: excellent. Food: excellent.“

“I've wanted to go here for a long time - it's as good as they say. Lovely windy day but nice sunny seating outside. We were lucky as the wait wasn't long at all this day. A gang of gals went - several had the crab sandwich and traved about it. Several had fries - pretty good but not super crispy. I had the fish tacos - good but could have used a bit some "tang" in the slaw. I also had a bowl of their clam chowder - god but a bit more "fishy" tasting then I'm used to. but lots of yummy choices - we will be back!“

“We stopped here to get some fresh crab. We had the crab/shrimp sandwich, which was delicious. They also have a clam chowder that you can mix the white and the red soup together. This is just perfect because it isn't too rich and has more flavor. Luckily we went right at 11:00 am when it opened because it started to get real busy. Definitly would return again.“

“I stopped by for lunch on a sunny day and this was a home run. The Hitchcock wink just gilds this very pleasant spot. The Birds sits right off the water with multiple levels of scenic, outdoor seating wrapped around the little kitchen where you order and pick up. Pass the single stall bathroom, and you'll find an adjacent building set up as a coffee shop. The menu is simple, but effective. Fish Tacos: Loved them. The fish has a light, crisp batter. They're served with shredded cabbage, fresh pico de gallo, and an avocado sauce on top. Two hearty tacos to an order and so good. Artichoke Fritters: I know this is county fair food, but I loved these. I thought they might be heavy, but they were actually pretty crunchy, frilly, and delicate. They're good with the ranch on the side and a little hot sauce. The portion is honestly giant which is fun. I took my leftovers home and enjoyed them again that night!“

“I haven't been here in years...and this time I've brought my kids! A very nice & patient man helped us with our ice cream order. We tried the peanut butter chocolate, mint chocolate chip, cookies'n'cream, & chocolate. ALL of it was still delicious & refreshing (good sized scoops too)! There's a good group of outdoor tables to sit at. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area again.“

“Took a trip to Bodega Bay with my girlfriend for the weekend, and we stumbled across this little gem! The food here was EXCELLENT: the Crab Cakes we both agreed were the best we've ever had, I got the Clam Chowder which was delicious but could've been served a bit warmer, the Grilled Oysters were so fresh and delicious, and my girlfriend really enjoyed the Wood Fired Grilled Mushrooms and the Winter Salad. The wine was also good but we came here for the food! The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout our meal and we loved our outdoor seating overlooking Bodega Bay. Loved this place, it was a great surprise to start our trip! Have been recommending this restaurant to my friends n family and also you, yelp user!“

“Gem of Bodega bay!! This restaurant was very delicious. Everything we ordered was delicious including the torta, tacos and burrito. The family that owned the restaurant were all very kind and did a great job answering all our questions since it was our first time. The location is great, the restaurant is decorated very cute. They had great music playing and the kiddos were able to be kids and enjoy themselves.“

“Great little caual seafood spot right on the harbor of Bodega Bay! Ginochios was exactly what I was expecting it to be with a no frills atmosphere serving up tasty food in a beautiful location. This place is certainly worth a visit if you find yourself in the area. Service: We were greeted by a friendly woman behind the counter when we entered. She made some light banter and explained what they were out of, but nothing really worth mentioning here. We went right at 11am when they transition from breakfast to lunch and they let us order from either menu. You order at the counter and they give you a buzzer which notifies you when your food is ready to pick up. Food: The high point of the experience! I ordered the Crab Sandwich and a side of fries and it was all pretty well above average. The sandwich was toasted on the outside with a nice crunch, while the crab inside was creamy, with great crab flavor and a hint of citrus. Not sure how they make it but it seemed to be their specialty and I would recommend it. Nothing too special about the fries but they were nicely seasoned with a good crisp. In general the prices are a little high for the style of food they are making, but I would say my meal was worth the money. Note, I went with 3 other people and they got Fried Egg Sando, Bacon Burrito, and Fish Tacos. None of them were too happy with their food, so I think your experience may vary depending on what you order. Do yourself a favor and order the Crab Sandwich. Ambiance: Again, nothing special here, but there are a variety of seating options depending on the weather and your preferences. When we visited it was a sunny day without much wind, so we sat on some benches in front of the restaurant. There is also indoor seating as well as outdoor seating within a courtyard which is protected by walls and windows in case it is windy.“
