    The view is stunning The food is good, not great, but everything else is 39 min from the inn so it's convenient. And again, the view is spectacular We started with a pickled beet salad with goat cheese and arugula. It had a sauce on the side of puréed candied hazelnuts. I will certainly copy this at home The mains-- duck breast and short ribs-- were cooked well and moist, but didn't have flavor added in quite the way I'd hope. The vegetables and meats all had their original flavors shine through. That's the positive spin. Salted, yes. Balsamic on the duck? I saw but didn't taste it Chocolate mousse cake : this was dry, cold, slightly bitter and not in a good chocolate bitter way. We didn't finish it They removed it from the bill however. Thank you

    We had the pleasure of staying at the resort here for three nights and had 3 separate meals at Coast Kitchen as the location limits food options a bit. Nonetheless, we had an overall great experience. First night, I'd give our meal a 3/5. We had the Short Rib, Salmon Wings, Brussel sprouts, cheesecake, apple tart, and a cappuccino. The short rib was quite dry and tough but the garnish was great. My husband ordered the Mary's chicken with mole and that was FANTASTIC. The sauce was a proper mole poblano sauce. The salmon wings left much to be desired, I was intrigued at the concept, but not impressed. The char bordered on burnt and had quite a bit of bones. We both enjoyed our desserts. Our second meal was off the lunch menu: The fish and chips were pretty great! Well seasoned and the house made tartas sauce was nice. 4/5 The last thing we had were the burgers off the bar menu. This may have been the best thing we ate here! It was cooked to the perfect temp and the spicy aoli had a solid kick! 5/5 The ambience was cozy and the ocean views were STUNNING. The service was friendly and professional. Overall, I do hope I get the chance to come back to Coast Kitchen. We did enjoy our time!

    I love that they have Delicious vegan options. Beautiful outdoor seating overlooking the ocean and great service is a 5 star for me.

    The restaurant doesn't match the experience of the rest of the resort. It's convenient since there isn't any other options around, but for the price I was expecting a more upgraded food experience. It felt more like cafe food to me. I had, breakfast, lunch and stopped in for dessert. Food - 3 stars. The dessert completely missed - I didn't even finish it. I ordered an apple crumble with ice cream. The ice cream was good quality, but the apple crumble was served almost like an individual tart so the crust didn't match the traditional soft buttery crust that I envisioned. It was overly sweet (maybe due to the caramel syrup) and it really wasn't throughly cooked- the crumble wasn't crunchy/ toasty. The lunch was solid - the fish and chips were delicious and a good serving size. I enjoyed the grilled lemon and it also came with tartar sauce and malt vinegar. This was my favorite meal here. For breakfast I ordered the eggs Benedict- it was decent. The hollandaise sauce needed a little more flavor. The coffee drinks were on point. The overall atmosphere is rustic chic with a wood burning fireplace. Views of the Ocean which most of the tables can see. Reservations can be made, but I was able to be seated without them (I was there during the week). The service was good.

    Great view while the sun is setting. We got a great table looking out towards the ocean. Had the ceasar salad, black cod and Salmon wings and Manhattan cocktails and apple crumble with ice cream . The ceasar wasn't great, borderline bad, lettuce was iceberg like dressing watery and croutons tasted like they used leftover stale bread. I'm usually not that picky about ceaser salads but this was not my favorite. Never had salmon wings so thought we'd try it, probably won't order again. Not necessarily any fault on the preparation it's just very bony and fatty and very little real meat. The black cod was tasty, with a nice coconut cream. The dessert was the best thing we ate, warm with a nice crunchy crumble and fresh tasting apples with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream. I'd recommend if on the menu.

    Coast Kitchen is the only restaurant in the Timber Cove resort, and it serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Spencer is amazing at what he does and provides great service with joy. The ambiance is cozy & rustic, but I wouldn't necessarily describe it as romantic. The property itself is located on a cliff with stunning ocean & mountain views so the window seats are great for lunch. Hubby and I tried a variety of things here during our stay. Jerk salmon wings (5/5), smoked cod rillettes (3/5), chicken sandwich (3/5), steamed mussels (3/5), fish n chips (4/5), smoked trout chowder (5/5), starter bread & smoked rosemary honey and lavender butter (5/5). Overall, the menu items were a hit/miss but the bread & butter were consistently delicious. The smoked butter was the best butter I've ever had. It had the perfect amount of smokiness, saltiness, sweetness, and herbaciousness. I couldn't do more than 3 meals here consecutively because I need something spicy in my life/meals but it's the only restaurant in the property so there are not that many options unless you drive pretty far away. I wish they would add more variety of items on the menu, and would sell that delicious butter so I can have it at home too! :) special s/o to Spencer for making our dinner memorable!

    Food can be decent here - drinks were below expectations but the best perk of coming to the restaurant in Timber Cove resort is you can choose to sit in the lounge area and still have the full kitchen menu. It's a much more laid back atmosphere and if you're a dog owner - you can have your pup with you there. There are plenty of board games to choose from. One unexpected discovery: Wednesday night is local's night where they will have live music along with a prix fixe menu that offers some form of discount.

    This is the restaurant attached to Timber Cove Hotel. They served breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Because this is really the only place to eat in the area, me and my friend ate all our meals here. I didn't really have high expectations. Usually my experience with hotel owned restaurants is either 'meh' or 'okay'. But I was wrong. This place was actually decent. I had lunch, dinner, and breakfast here. Everything was cooked well. My favorite was the sausage burger for breakfast, that was so delicious. Not going to lie, everything was expensive, which was expected. The views were great, the ambience was relaxing, and the staff were nice. Overall its a cool little place to eat at while you are in the area. The building is beautiful, the view is great and they have so many games in the hotel that I am sure you can use even if you aren't staying in the hotel.

    Low key cozy yet spacious hotel restaurant located along the rugged bluffs of the northern CA coast. Small selection of quality American fare with a simple and short menu. The limited menu still caters to a variety of tastes, with breakfast items ranging from waffles to an amazing benedict. Service was polite and efficient matching the general chill vibe. Great place to stop in for a meal while passing through the area or even grabbing a drink at the beautiful hotel lobby bar. Food: The food was pretty great! My wife and I stopped in for breakfast on a Monday morning after a weekend of camping. She had the waffles which she thoroughly enjoyed and I had the benedict which was the best benedict I've had in recent memory. Great flavors and textures all around made from quality ingredients. The coffee was quite delicious as well! Service: Nothing too spectacular here but by no means off-putting. Low-key is the best description of the service which perfectly matched our moods and how we wanted to spend our morning. The coffee cups were never empty and our food was brought out in a reasonable amount of time. Ambiance: This is another strong attribute of Coast Kitchen. The main dining room itself is set half a level lower than the main lobby which also houses a large lounge/bar and fireplace. The dining room has large windows overlooking a coastal bluff with great ocean views along with a small gas fire stove. The hotel and restaurant have nice upscale touches throughout, giving an ambiance of approachable luxury.

    This is a terrific place for dinner: great service, terrific food, and sunset views to die for! My wife and I had a fantastic dinner here on our way up the coast. I had a delicious, tender pork chop and my wife had "salmon wings" which are the tenderest part of the fish. We started out with a "Timber Cove" platter (a charcuterie plate, that is a meal in itself). We had a terrific server, Kenzie, who was always looking out for us, without being obtrusive. She was a delight. The sunset (see photos below) was the icing on the cake. The views are fantastic. For the great food, excellent service and sunset views that are breathtaking, I give Coast Kitchen the highest possible review!

    Absolutely the best fish and chips up and down the coast! Super fresh and flakey with clean tasting oil. Everything on their menu is delicious. Save room for desert. The views and service are unbeatable!

    Two out of three in our group loved their meal. 5 star chowder 5 star oysters (but seriously, $5 each?) 5 star corn posole (I think it was posole- there was lots of cheese involved, definitely not a light bite) 1 star steak: I don't mind paying $60 for a fantastic steak, but this was a giant hunk of tough meat with a tasty sauce that should have been allowed to marinate. The fingerling potatoes were bland & undercooked, and zero vegetables. Three green beans would have been nice. If you read the Yelp description of this restaurant, it says: Intimate, Romantic, & Trendy. No, No, & No. The dining room has an excellent view of the ocean, but the room looks like it doubles as the guest breakfast nook. Ordinary kitchen chairs, basic tables, noise from the bar & live music. Those last two items makes the atmosphere in the next room sound way more fun, and it was. The trendiness definitely exists in the bar lounge & patio, with foosball, giant chess set, board games, fireplace, comfy upholstered seating, beautiful bar, & food service. When we were there a woman with an amazing voice played guitar, harmonica, and sang all the fave mellow songs from the 70s. I'd definitely come back to hang out & skip the dining room. After your meal I highly recommend going outside in the back, there's an nice outdoor patio, people bring their dogs, there's a insta-worthy decrepit house and a nice walking path.

It's an unassuming, un-aesthetic sandwich but just simply real crab with light mayo and celery dressing. Only regret not getting 2 bc I'd have to brave the line again. Seemed to only have 1 person taking orders and also distributing orders so things were slow. Chowder was also my favorite one from this trip and my kids loved their chili (they sell bread loaves on the side if you need a dipper). Pro tip: not much parking, prepare for side of road and walk. Outdoor seating available but tables are pretty cramped.

It took them almost 15 minutes to serve the first customer in line and the food looks pre-made (chowder and sandwich meat). I ordered the crab sandwiches and white clam chowder. Nothing special about their famous chowder. The crab sandwich is basically a hotdog bun with salty crab meat. The line is long and the wait times are slow because of the workers. Prices are high, $22 per sandwich and $10 for a cup of chowder. I'm still giving them 2 stars overall because I like the view of bodega bay from here. I will not be coming back.

We ordered pasta and of course could not pass up on the Elk special dish. It was a nice treat to know they have locals special menu available as well, so we also enjoyed oysters. Overall would definitely be returning and can't stop raving about this hidden gem.

    Wish I had known a couple of details before planning my anniversary dinner here…read more This place is known for epic views, naturally we wanted a table with a view so I called a week in advance to request just that. The woman I spoke to said she would put it in her notes and that specific tables are not able to be held. She assured me we would have a good spot so I took her word for it. This was our first time coming here and its an hour drive. There is very minimal parking. We were lucky to get a spot as someone was leaving. We were seated at the worst table this place has to offer, right at the entrance to the bar and kitchen, in a narrow walkway, there is a window for one person to look out of and the other seat is looking into the kitchen as the table is positioned halfway in the middle of a window, so one side is against a wall and a view of the kitchen. The busy waitstaff was coming in and out quickly from both areas and walking past us with plates and such, it was chaotic at best. It felt almost insulting to be seated here as we had made a request well in advance to celebrate our anniversary which was also not acknowledged. Another party was just leaving so I was able to request to move. We were then seated at a 2 top table just outside of the atrium with a direct view thru a window of another 2 top table on the other side of the glass so when you go to look out the window its like you are staring at the people at the table thru the glass partition. We were so deflated by this whole seating situation. I say all of this to point out that if you are a party of 2 there is barely any tables with a clear view for both people so keep that in mind! If you have a party of 4-6 you have a much better chance of a better table. Really wish I had known that!!! The interior was nice enough but lacking the romance and ambiance I had hoped for, can we get some candles or flowers on the tables? Seems like an obvious detail overlooked. As far as the menu we were a bit underwhelmed by the offerings, there is a prefix menu and a small menu adjacent with minimal options like lamb and elk or vegetarian.... Probly should have looked at that before making this reservation but I had heard how amazing it was so I just took a chance. Although the choices were limited we enjoyed everything we ordered, food and drinks. Our waitress was nice and did a good job for us overall but definitely was more attentive and informative to the group adjacent to us which was a bit disappointing. Again this was a celebratory dinner and it just fell short for us in that way as it was not acknowledged Our tab was a little over 300$ portions were modest although tasty. I enjoyed the drinks and desert the most. To sum it up, I wont be going out of my way again to come back here. If I found myself in the area I might enjoy stopping in for a drink and dessert. Id say a solid 2.5 stars

I thought it was going to be a cliche cheesy over-the-top tourist restaurant, but it was the complete opposite. Does it get busy and filled with tourists, yes, but the decor is pleasant, the wait staff attentive, and the food and drinks were on point! We were both in that state where you're not super hungry but you should probably eat something. We got well made/ balanced cocktails, shrimp cocktail with what I believe were fried crackers, (their cocktail sauce is the real deal with real horseradish in it, this is the way cocktail sauce should be, other restaurants take notes). We also got raw oysters (glad to see they had a seperate menu for them listing species, size, etc), their namesake Oyster Rockerfeller (a bit of a let down unfortunately), my girl got the crab gazpacho (very tomato forward with big bits of real crab) and I got the Cajun Blackened Shrimp & Grits (Big Bay/ southern flavors in this, huge shrimp and creamy comforting grits). The irony is not lost on me, we ordered a lot of food for not being super hungry but it was well worth it! While there are many seafood restaurants in/ around Bodega Bay, this one is not to be missed!
