    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.

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

    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!

    Fish and chips and fried chicken sandwich

    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.

    We were driving by the area and needed to grab some breakfast. It turned out to be one of our favorite spot combining delicious food and beautiful ocean view. Very well kept place with a luxury feel to it. A hidden gem in our opinion

    We loved this place!…read more We were in Bodega Bay for a couple of days. Ate at Fisherman's Cove for lunch one day. Then came here for lunch the next day. The two restaurants are nextdoor to each other by the harbor. There's street parking - the parking lots are limited so we just parked in the street instead. Spud Point is casual. You wait in the line and order at the window. Then they bring the food out to you. There are some picnic tables and sunshades out front. Very easy and no pretense here! Here's what we ordered: Italian sourdough French bread $5 Red chowder $10 White chowder $10 2 crab sandwiches $20 each Albacore tuna sandwich $11 When ordering the bread, make sure you get some butter. The bread was absolutely delicious with crusty exterior and chewy inside. Perfect accompaniment with the chowder! We loved though New England white chowder. The Manhattan red chowder was fine, but we barely had half of it and took the rest home. The crab sandwich was great too! Tuna sandwich was good! There are other foods for sale at the order window - bags of chips, Crustable sandwiches. Can't wait to come back here! Wish I had the cooler with me to buy live crabs!!! BTW, I didn't see a bathroom here. But Fisherman's Cove (nextdoor) has one. It's just one unisex bathroom so there's a long line!

Spud Point Crab Company used to be one of our favorite stops, especially for their clam chowder. I've tried many clam chowders across California, and for a long time, I thought theirs was the best. Unfortunately, our recent visit last weekend was very disappointing. The clam chowder was not the same--it tasted average at best, and I would honestly rate it a C-. Even more disappointing was the $20 crab sandwich. The portion was extremely small--about the size of chicken teeth) and it was served on what looked like a hot dog bun. For that price, I expected a more generous portion and at least a decent, fresh, high-quality bread. I've never seen anything like this in the Bay Area, especially at that price point. It's really sad to see such a big drop in quality from a place we used to enjoy so much.

That's what my boyfriend and I ordered, and were satisfied (not to mention fueled for our hike that afternoon). I agree with other reviews that say it's pricey for what you get, but you'll still have a satisfying meal. The crab sandwich is real fresh, I kinda wish they toasted the bread, but would still recommend it. It came with a few slices of carrot that seemed random IMO, but still ate it. Also, you can't go wrong with the fish and chips! Service was straight-forward - you order and pay at the counter, then take your number to seat where your food is delivered. Most people were sitting outside on the benches, which is where you wanna be, especially on a sunny day with a view of the water. But there are also chairs and tables inside. Parking can be tight around here. The lot outside the restaurant is very small, and the street/back parking signs can be confusing. (There were cars parking in zones clearly marked with "No Parking" signs.)

The service was awesome, our server Evan quickly got us to our seats and took our orders. We tried the oyster epiphany (fresh oyster with lime ginger and wasabi dressing) I wasn't a big fan of oysters due to its fishy after taste. But this place nailed it! The sauce really paired well, oysters were soo fresh I could go for another round. We also ordered homemade sourdough as starters, the whipped butter was very light , not too overwhelming. The sourdough was soft and the poppy seeds add texture to it. The pairing works so well, we asked for another refill. Now to the main course, the fish tacos were on point, not very memorable to be honest. But the pasta!!! omg you could tell it was hand made, the shrimp were fresh and cleaned it wasn't fishy at all. I was expecting it to be a tomato based pasta, but the sun dried tomato gave such a nice additional profile, sweet and sourness to the truffle based pasta sauce.

Our first visit the cabins were a bit too "rustic" for our liking, and we were grateful to only there for one evening. The linens were clean and the bed was comfortable, but the bathroom was TINY, and the window would not shut due to the lean of the cabin. We enjoyed the fresh air throughout the evening, and had plenty of blankets to keep warm. The view of the Ocean and mouth of the River was amazingly beautiful to watch the sunset and we have views from our room and the restaurant. The restaurant was amazing, and what really made the experience next level. I can't remember what we ate, but I have longed to go back remembering it was delicious. We did stay the second time in their Oceana room in the home collection which was much more our style. There were no issues with the windows or doors, there was a private hot tub, and the deck was much more spacious. We had a kitchen to cook in, including a full size refrigerator and oven. Since our last stay the common beach area had been hit by a rough storm and had changed the landscape significantly. It was a reminder that Mother Nature can change things in an instant, and never take it for granted. Having the private space of the home collection made this less of a hit on our experience since we didn't need to use it. The restaurant delivered again with an amazing meal, beet salad, filet mignon, and bread service. I look forward to our next trip and plan to bring my parents out and spend some quality time together, listening to music, playing games, watching the ocean, and eating amazing food. This time I will attempt to take more photos, and update my review.

I loved the lightness of the calamari batter as well! This is a nicely decorated and clean restaurant. It was romantic with the view of the bay. I felt the customer service was a little off, but eventually our servers were nicer as both lunches went on. There was a Hispanic man that was very friendly and kept our water filled. We enjoyed talking to him. The customers sure were friendly with lots of smiles towards our kids. This is my favorite Bodega Bay restaurant. I look forward to bringing family and friends.
