Great food and very cute place. It has amazing views of the ocean and delicious burgers.

Breakfast was good. The country potatoes were delicious and perfectly cooked. The oatmeal had delicious fresh berries. The coffee is excellent , Unfortunately the service wasn't. My coffee was cold by the time the cream and sugar that I had requested arrived. You can't beat the view and the patio is nicely heated. The eggs Benedict were tasty, however, not the best hollandaise sauce. Overall, I would go back for another meal. read more

The pan fried cauliflower"steak" is very misleading. You think you are getting beef with cauliflower the way it is written on the menu. I would suggest that they change it to say "steak shape" and when the customer tells the staff that the person that he is ordering this for has stepped out of the room for a moment and needs to come back to tell them how he wants his steak cooked... That is the time when the staff should have said to the customer: I'm sorry sir I think there is a misunderstanding. This is a meatless dish. Needless to say My guest who does not have a command of the English language did not understand that this menu item did not involve any meat. We were both surprised and disappointed when it came. So warning to future customers, ask more questions I guess is the answer. read more

This restaurant is part of the beautiful Timber Cove resort with stunning views of the dramatic coast. The menu for lunch was small but everything we ordered was delicious -which was a surprise considering how disappointing foods at hotels can be. We had the fish and chips-batter was light as crispy. The grilled salmon wings were really tasty with a slight charred taste. And salad was well dressed. read more

As you drive along the coast & thinking of where you can stop for a drink, food, & a fantastic view - come here! Inside of a rustic hotel is a nice cozy restaurant with amazing wine by the glass choices! They feature Hirsch wines which are incredible if you have not tried it - unfortunately that wine is sold only by the bottle & it's pricey. The menu has a great selection of food & we truly enjoyed our meals! After you eat you can walk outside the restaurant & there's a path that leads you towards the water. Check it out! read more

This place is a gem. Conveniently located by the Timber Cove Resort. Delicious recipes. Outstanding service. Staff is very accommodating. We'll surely be back. It was worth the drive! read more

Disappointed in their service. Never did get our food after waiting over an hour while tables around received their food. 3 waiters asked and not one walked back to confirm our meal was in process. When we did finally decide to walk out the guy that looks like a Mgr dropped a drink off at another table and stopped to chat with that customer. We had just asked him to follow up on our order...why would he not come directly to us and let us know the status. Pass by this place. read more

Needed to host a last minute lunch for 15 people and Coast Kitchen came through perfectly! Beautiful setting, beautiful views, Covid precautions, set menu with good options, friendly service, fast service, delicious food, punctual! Ms.Debbie from the catering department is my savior! Thank you for helping me host a perfect luncheon! read more

Wonderful food and service inside the Timber Cove Resort. Remote area of the coast of California.

Amazing place for lunch. Our burger was cooked perfectly. We got a charcuterie board with two cheeses and two meats. It comes with Gorgonzola and aged cheddar , both were delicious. Salami and prosciutto for meats. The servers were very attentive and nice. Plus the music is so good! Alternative/rock love it. read more

We came here from Marin to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We had such a delicious meal last that we came back tonight! Chowder, Salmon Wings are a must, Halibut, Trout, dessert all were great. A couple of the best meals we have had in a long time and we're foodies! Can't wait to come back! Handled Covid very well. read more

Awesome food! Every dish we had was great, such lovely presentation, great flavours! -We had the ahi tuna, tasted so fresh and I loved the combo of flavors on the plate. -The smoked fish chowder was great, so unusual to find a chowder that's not boring old clam. My baby even loved it! -The asparagus salad was dressed with a perfect lemon vinaigrette. -the sous vide short ribs were so tender and flavourful even without a sauce, and I loved the presentation with the black bean splattered across my plate! -The fried chicken was finger lickin' good! Portion sizes were generous, we didn't finish everything and our waitress was sweet enough to put our leftovers on a plate, wrap it in Saran Wrap and give us utensils so we could eat it upstairs in our hotel room as a midnight snack! I wish we had had room for dessert! read more

We spent two nights at Timber Cove Resort and we dined twice here during our stay, one dinner and one breakfast. The dinner experience was great. Highly recommend the almond crusted halibut and the lemon custard. The service of our breakfast was very slow and unattentive that we had to raise hand to get a server's attention. read more

Stopped at this place looking for a good meal/snack before hiking at the fort. This place is a great find with AMAZING views! The hotel has a great outside play area. Also cozy bar area if you are looking for drinks by a fire. We ordered the calamari which was tasty! Also ordered the baby gem salad! Had a hard time finding coffee in the area, but this place had a good latte and mocha drink. Service was friendly and atmosphere was fantastic. Would definitely come back to stay at hotel in future! read more

Can't beat the patio view when the weather is warm ! We shared a cheese plate and luxurious halibut fish and chips. Manhattan was nice and strong! read more

We had lunch here twice on our recent trip. Both times excellent. The first time was their special fish and chips, cooked to perfection. The next time we split a bacon cheeseburger again fantastic We also had a chocolate flourless cake for dessert again excellent They also have four electric car charging stations read more

We had an excellent meal here. The food was inventive and very flavorful. The staff was friendly and helpful. The smoked trout chowder was a wonder. The Brussels sprouts were absolutely delicious, crisp and sweet with honey. This place was a real find. Congrats to chefs de cuisine Alan and Cody for their efforts! read more

I was staying at the hotel here and tried out this dinner place, Coast Kitchen. It is a semi upscale place. It matches the hotel well. When you get into the restaurant it matches the charm of the hotel. Small tables in a country coast type setting. There was a mid-century fireplace burning in the corner and the service team there was friendly. My glass was never empty and they checked in rough to make sure they were paying attention, but not too much. We had the oysters, deviled eggs, roasted cauliflower and the pacific rock fish. All were very delicious. The devils eggs stood out as a favorite to me. The fish was tasty and cooked well. I wasn't able to sit outside due to the rain, however the below was amazing from the outside so I could imagine it being a great setting for a lunch in the sun. I recommend this place. Great meal and matches what you would expect if you are staying in the hotel. read more

Great food! Terrible unfriendly service. We stood at the bar area for 10 minutes before someone spoke to us. The order took over an hour to get to our table. They put it down and walked away without really speaking to us. read more

My 26 year old Son and I took a 3 day road trip up the coast from Dillon to Glass Beach. We stopped at Timer Cove because we were hungry. All the employees were cleaning and courteous. Service was amazing and the food was outstanding!! When things get back to NORMAL.. I will take another road trip just to go there.. Thanks, Greg read more

We really enjoyed having to eat outside at this beautiful view spot during the "Corona Crisis." We were seated on a picnic table facing Timber Cove and given tableware with a linen napkin...classy and rustic! The menu is now limited, but two of the items we ate for lunch were outstanding: 1. Smoked Trout Chowder: a delicious take on the clam version, but instead of the bacon, they used crispy trout skin. Chunks of wonderful smoked trout, potatoes, and celery in a perfect creamy broth hit the spot while looking over the waves. 2. Shrimp sliders: 3 generous shrimp patties with tasty sauce on rolls were easy to share. Comes with lots of fries. We ordered a bottle of J Pinot Gris, and the server presented it in a copper ice bucket. Perfect for our seafood feast. A bonus after one eats lunch is to walk around the grounds overlooking the ocean. It's part of a small CA State Park, and includes a tall Peace Obelisk by late artist Benny Bufano and a Russian Sergei post with history tied to the Sakha Sire Siberian settlers from nearby Fort Ross. read more

Went here for a special dinner a few weeks back, it was such an amazing experience! The oceans views were spectacular and our waitress Taylor was more than amazing. She was very attentive to our party and was over all a sweetheart. She even decorated our dinning room, table and drinks with flowers that she had grown and brought in fresh that day. The deviled eggs and grilled pork belly starters were too good. I also ordered the steak, which I never order when I go out (special occasion), It was hands down the best cut of meat I've ever eaten. Perfectly cooked with the right amount of marble that just melts in the mouth. Hands down would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting the Sonoma coast and will definitely be returning. read more

The view was golden! The interior look really nice. It's perfect for dates or quiet getaway! We went there before dawn and the view was indescribable! (It was like a bit painting) The food was OK. Reasonably priced and nicely portioned. I would definitely come back again for dates or whenever I'm closed by, because I love the overall experience! Service was really great too! read more

Overall a disappointing experience. After ordering, it was at least 50 minutes to get our food, and there were literally only two other tables seated. It seemed like the chef took a lunch break! Pretty simple menu, but the chowder was barely warm (but quite tasty!), the french fries were soggy and barely warm, and the salad was devoid of dressing; after asking for more dressing though, it was actually pretty good. Waitress never even asked 'how is your food?'....... read more

Fine dining is finally here on this remote stretch of California Highway 1. Coast Kitchen was opened as part of the renovation of Timber Cove Inn, about 10 miles north of Jenner, replacing a tired and barely adequate Alexander's. Unlike its predecessor, Coast Kitchen brings excellence in taste, creativity, presentation, and service, along with a formidable wine list. We've had several meals here since the reopening, including a wonderful pris fixe Christmas Dinner, and have been seriously impressed each time. Generous portions and all delectable. Highly recommended. read more

Husband I had breakfast there mid morning. It wasn't that busy and had a great view of the ocean. What got me was the specialty coffee . We both ordered bacon, eggs, and country potatoes with onion and bell pepper. It was definitely tasty! I saw a couple get a basket full of muffins and a chocolate croissant, mental note for next time. Price was ok but the service makes up for that. Highly recommend the fresh squeezed oj. read more

My boyfriend and I drove over from SF and stayed at Timber Cove for a few days. It was a surprise trip he planned for my birthday. He made reservations ahead of time at Coast Kitchen and noted a request for a window seat. When we arrived, a tall man who appeared to be the manager was standing by the computer/host area. He was distracted by his email, and when my boyfriend mentioned he had a reservation, the manager didn't even really check for our name. He didn't greet us and was unwelcoming. He actually just saw there were two of us, grabbed menus and walked off placing us at a table in the middle of the room (seats by the window were available.) As a former FOH manager myself, it was a disappointing first impression with a pattern that continued through the night. Our waitress was ok at first although everything from drinks to ordering to receiving food to paying the check took awhile. We were never checked up on during our meal, we refilled our own water, when we finished our cocktails before our entrees no one asked if we wanted another drink with our dinner. Couldn't help but notice the manager frequently walk past our table and ignore our empty drink glasses and dishes. I noticed he was a lot more attentive and friendly to other tables...pouring drinks, asking how they're doing, taking plates. Our table was right in front of the kitchen entrance so he literally passed by us several times. I would like to note they were not very busy either but the staff appeared flustered. The food itself was decent. We ordered the shishito peppers and ahi tuna tartar to start. Both were good but nothing mind blowing. I was happy the shishito peppers were a good portion. Boyfriend ordered the short rib (tender, cooked nicely) and I had the halibut the server raved about. It was a good portion and cooked well but honestly lacked a lot of flavor.. fish and veggies included. After someone cleared the plates, the server just dropped dessert menus on the table and went to another group. There was no "how was your meal?" Or even asking if we wanted dessert in the first place. It was really disappointing. Considering it was also a birthday reservation, goes to show the lack of attention to detail. Most places we dine at would do at least a small something for birthdays. The restaurant tries to give off a fine dining appeal with the dishes and prices but the service is a far cry from fine dining expectations. I will also say the room service left so much more to be desired as well. Since this really is your only food option on site, you don't have much choice. We did breakfast room service twice. The first time we received no condiments with the order. The second time, the girl taking my order over the phone wasn't even familiar with their own menu and got our order wrong. First she insisted the waffles (that come with your choice side of meat: bacon or sausage) was an. extra charge but I told her it's written on the menu and we even had ordered this the day before. I also asked if they could poach the eggs in their Cove Benedict (since they scramble them?!) and she said they could do it. This second room service trip, our plates arrived stacked on top of each other on a small tray (the previous time we had a tray large enough for both of our plates.) This typically wouldn't be a big deal but there is no dining table in the room so we had to awkwardly eat partially off the one small tray in bed. The Benedict was of course scrambled and not poached. And my boyfriend said the girl who dropped off the food wrote in the amount of gratuity she wanted to be left herself. This was not the case yesterday or when we dined in! Pretty appalling. I recommend staying at Timber Cove but avoid this restaurant as much as possible or go in with low expectations. Someone else wrote that "it feels like they know they are the only game in town and don't even have to try".... so true. read more

This place has been around for a while, though a recent renovation of the Hotel has been undertaken and due such there is a definite confusion going on, lack of staff mainly, the food here is delicious, your wait perhaps longer than you'd like but the service is good, the price definitely a plus and the end result pleasing. read more

The food saved our experience. Perfectly prepared steelhead and an assertively seasoned ribeye that made my husband's tummy very happy. Apps and salads were on point and the bartender knows what he's doing. We wish that service had been more connected and less like an attempt to rush us through our meal (we were at the restaurant for less than an hour). We felt like a "captive audience" given that there's not really any other dining option within 30 minutes. Our experience was average considering the price point. We would visit again while staying at Timber Cove, but would adjust our expectations (or order to the room since the service really added nothing). read more

This is probably my favorite restaurant. Service here is amazing. Looking at the menu we were a bit lost with the names but with the help of our kind waitress we knew what we wanted. The food was delicious and very well presented. I highly recommend stopping by this restaurant!!!! read more

Food and drink is super overpriced and mediocre. But, place is doing a good job despite Covid so definitely appreciate that.

Last weekend we stayed at the newly renovated Timber Cove Resort--which I highly recommend--and ended up eating two meals during our too-short stay. Everything we ate (and we ate a lot) was incredible. Just a few items from dinner: heirloom tomato salad, bacon-wrapped dates, the burger, buttermilk battered quail, crab beignets, and for dessert, chocolate chip cookies and milk and butterscotch pot de creme. For breakfast, we had the duck confit, asparagus and goat cheese omelette, beautifully complemented with toast and house-made fruit butters. The staff was both gracious and professional, and it was neat to see how they excited were about the hotel's big improvements. Timber Cove and Coast Kitchen are very special, so if you're looking for a memorable experience, get yourself up there now! read more

Came here while spending the weekend at the Sea Ranch Lodge. Food was delicious and service was excellent. We shared the cheese board and then my husband had the scallops while I had the pasta special to replace their usual gnocchi. The butterscotch pot de creme was the perfect ending. Would definitely come back and even stay at Timber Cove! Compared to the food at the Sea Ranch this was above and beyond in flavor with similar pricing. Looking forward to coming back! read more

Hmmmm Not many options for food so we went in. I believe the whole facility was reopened a couple months prior. The place was gorgeous. Definitely high end. Were about to get seated then decided to sit at the bar instead. The restaurant wait staff and host were really friendly and accommodating - the bartender mmmm not so much especially at first. Kind of felt like we were intruding on her evening. We became overly engaging and she became a bit more helpful and chatty. Food was ok. Burger was pretty good. The poutine was meh. I think I like a more traditional poutine. Good beer! read more

Two dinners, one breakfast here. First dinner: charred octopus and steamed mussels, baby gem lettuce and radicchio salad, roasted local halibut, and fried chicken (not on the menu). None of the four of us liked the charred octopus. All of us thought the salad was really salty. Everyone liked, but didn't love, the chicken. I thought the mussels were okay, but my wife thought they were past their prime. Good service, but overall, just an okay experience for rather high prices. Breakfast: Oatmeal with berries and an asparagus, bell pepper, and goat cheese frittata. Good food, okay service, slightly less high prices, compared to dinner. Second dinner: Grilled delta asparagus and arugula salad with Meyer lemon vinaigrette and 18 hour braised beef short ribs followed by a Dutch baby for dessert. This meal was so much better. The salad was awesome (who knew arugula could taste that good). The beef was super tender with an excellent flavor. Dessert was great - kind of a cross between French toast and a soufflé. Add the good service and we had a really nice meal. Oh, and don't forget the drinks. The Sonoma Garden Mule was our favorite. read more

One of the best local spots.....wait, wait....THE best local spot for cocktails and a good meal. Beautiful setting on our beloved Sonoma Coast. Sit at the bar, on a sofa or reserve for dinner. 5 stars for sure. read more

Gorgeous setting - the food that we chose was very good - it's just the menu was VERY limited. Few items to pick from and about 3-4 items not available that evening. We stayed at Timber Cove for a few days & was planning to eat dinner there each night - but - after the first night - realized we ate the only 2 things on the menu that we would like - and it was not worth eating again (VERY expensive). Which, is a good thing in that it made us venture out to other restaurants nearby (but, nearby is a relative term in this neck of the woods!) Worth a stop if you are in the area - just preview the menu to see if there is something you would like. read more

They're trying, but they're missing the mark. Heavy, heavy salt cheapened the food. Dinner portions are built like small plates rather than entrees. Even with an appetizer for each person, the seafood entrées leave you hungry and I wish we would have been encouraged to order more. Dessert was a necessity due to hunger rather than indulgence. The pickled pear on the salad was past its prime and carbonated. Dining room is awkwardly lit and equipped with spotlights. However, service and staff were excellent. I respect their creativity, but the food is as expensive and lacking in quality as you would expect hotel fare to be. Ditto for the lounge food-- it sounds good, but the execution is poor. Not worth the money. read more

During our recent stay at Timber Cove we enjoyed our breakfasts at Coast Kitchen. We tried the French Toast snd several egg dishes. All were tasty and well seasoned. Service was attentive and not intrusive, which allowed us time to take in the ocean view while we planned out how to spend our day. We remember fondly how the delicious coffee was served and reflect back with appreciation on how we were provided the luxury of a leisurely breakfast. read more

Restaurants with this spectacular an ocean view could charge more and give less, but that is not the M.O. of Coast Kitchen. The menu has unexpected gems like the Buttermilk Brined Fried Quail with carmelized onions and Dungeness Crab Beignets. I am in love with this earthy dish - Seared Ahi Tuna with cannellini beans, local wild mushrooms and fingerling potatoes! But don't miss the gigantic Seared Day Boat Scallops... (sharing is caring). The killer wine list is worthy of its Sonoma Coast address and features beautiful Hirsch Wines which you can't get unless you're a wine club member. If you're celebrating in style, book a room at romantic Timber Cove and awake to the crashing waves ... and don't miss the Crab Benedict and Corned Beef Hash for breakfast! Cheers to the awesome staff for putting the cherry on top of it all. Enjoy this one Yelpers! read more
