The beef was good on its own- amazing with the barbeque sauce. My son got the fried egg sando and loved the thick bacon. Then I saw this shiny chunky cake thing. They told me it was something monkey bread. I couldn't find it on the menu and they said it was on the very top: Caramel Bacon Monkey Bread. I was totally stuffed after my breakfast but I had to try it. They heated it up! It came out piping hot and I burned my tongue. Worth it! Bacony, chewy, sweet. I couldn't finish it so I brought it home and microwaved it the next day. Still awesome. You should get it.

The New England clam chowder and Manhattan clam chowder were decent in my opinion. The soup was not too thick and I thought the Manhattan clam chowder could use more tomato base. The crab sandwiches however... WOW! One might say the sandwiches are a bit pricey, but I think it's justified with the amount of crab meat they give you. It was so good that I ordered another sandwich to-go for later. Parking was a bit of a hassle, but there were some spots available on the road behind the shop.

She was funny, attentive and would be sure to give her a raise. What a keeper! THE BAD! Ordered the calamari, always one of our favorites! It was cold, chewy and flavorless. After explaining our concerns to Helen, she sent it back, no problem. The new calamari was warm, but just as bad. Not eating that as I am sure it was the same plate they threw back in the fryer! THE UGLY! Helen went to speak to manager who took it off the bill. Said manager walked by us at least 4 times never asked what the problem was or how he could solve it. Totally useless managing this restaurant. No wonder so many people looked unhappy! Will go back to see Helen, but not getting food. Helen needs to be promoted!

3 Stars because it was both 1-star "not good" and 4-star "great" due to it being the weirdest…read moredining experience I've ever had. So let's start with the "not good" - not only was it not good - the service was so bad I couldn't even bring myself to want to tip out of pity. I try to find reasons to tip in situations such as this but I could not. Literally the last time I left a $0 tip was 20 years ago - I'm no jerk. So to start it took forever to get any attention - felt invisible - after sitting down, I basically had to all but snap my fingers and shout, "garçon!" Then it was left to random chance when and what arrived at our table. Starting with, "here's your beers, not sure which one is which." The food items did not arrive together, but staggered. One item failed to arrive entirely and when I mentioned it there was no apology it was, "well did you say anything?" My befuddled reply, "I'm saying something now?" Then I asked for a napkin along with the check with the missing item removed, and got the check and no napkin. We had to rinse our hands in our water cups then wash them in the bathroom lol. The check arrived with a place to write a gratuity and a total, which is unusual - usually you have to give them your card before you get that option and this abnormality threw me off and I never gave them my card, I just gave a tip of " :( " and put the total and signed my name and left. A few minutes later my wife realized I didn't ever hand them a card. So I called and left a message apologizing and saying I still owe them. They never called back. So the next day I entered the restaurant to pay up, and they were really nice and said they couldn't find an unpaid tab and that it probably got voided out or something. They were magnanimous and cool about it. I'm worried maybe somebody else got charged for my meal? No idea, but I can't bring myself to leave 1 star for a place that in a weird round about way comped me for $75 in food and drinks even though I didn't tip them. What a weird experience.

It is nice to see Bluewater Lounge restaurant/bar open again! It was one of the later dining…read moreestablishments to reopen following covid. And even better to know the food and drinks are as great as they always were! While staying with friends in this lovely golf community, we stopped at the Links at Bodega Harbour to check it out and decided to stay for dinner. The menus offered up some tasty sounding dishes! And they did not disappoint. Three of us ordered the crab cakes while two went for the traditional hamburger and fries. Everyone was happy with their choices. Crab cakes were on point! Lots of crab with little filler. Really rich and moist served with a light sauce, which complimented them so well. Hamburgers were big and juicy with lots of crispy fries. In the beverage department, I selected the Quivira Sauvignon Blanc, which was wonderful. You rarely see this winery on restaurant wine lists, so I was quite excited. It is so delightful and perfect with crab cakes. (Menu photos of everything are included.) By the time we were finished, every seat was filled. It is a small area with maybe 7 seats at the bar and a mixture of tables and high tops rounding out the rest of the room. Very cozy. A gorgeous view of the ocean and golf course, too, as the restaurant is on the second level of the building. Casual dining at its best! Alex and his helper were working hard. Five-star customer service for sure. Shout out to them both! I highly recommend Bluewater Lounge for a place to stop where you will have quality food, a full bar, and people who strive to give the highest customer experience to everyone! Open for dining Wednesday, Thursday (live music), Friday (bingo or live trivia), Saturday, and Sunday (brunch). (It's always smart to call for specific open hours.) Parking plentiful. Did I mention they give a nice wine pour too!!! Cheers!

My friend and I wanted a short getaway from our North Bay homes, and wanted to stay by the coast…read more Despite the cost (well, seems that everything costs more now!), we had a nice time. The location is right in the central part of Bodega Bay. Note that their restaurant (The Tides) is across the busy highway. On line reservations were easy, and staff super friendly despite my calls to make changes a few times:). I had reserved a room with a patio, since I wanted to be able to open the door and sit outside to take in the bay. Rooms with patios are only on the ground floor, and we were in building 12. The room was super clean and lovely, spacious as well. No strange smells as has been mentioned, but their was a heating unit under a window, and the carpet was wet underneath it. Mentioned this to the front desk staff and immediately were offered another room. This was not really a big deal, so told them it could be addressed after our checkout. It was furnished beautifully, however the bathroom looked a bit dated but clean nonetheless. Plenty of parking in front of the building and also come covered parking spots. A small fridge was in the room, and a small coffee maker for one cup at a time. I found that running water through it enabled me to make tea. Breakfast is included with the room, and this consists of a continental breakfast (granola, muffin, fruit cup, coffee) across the street at The Tides, from 8a-11am. Not a buffet, the plate is served to you. If you want a breakfast off the menu, the breakfast voucher can be used for 25% off an ordered breakfast. We did this both days, and the food was good, standard fare. The seating area looks over the bay and very serene. In the mornings, coffee, hot water for tea are available in the lobby area. They have local newspapers each day, and the view is amazing. A nice place to wait until it is breakfast time. The coffee is average, and cools off quickly. The landscaping is amazing, and well maintained. Walkable paths between the buildings, but places to walk are sketchy along the highway. Staff were endlessly friendly, helpful and accommodating. Overall, it was a nice getaway. Our room was about $350/night, probably right for the location and amenities (pool, hot tub, fitness center). However, the rooms seemed a bit 'tired', and could use some updating in terms of the bathrooms, coffee provided (how about serving one of our great local coffees? Bella Rosa, Black Oak, etc?) We did however get a complimentary bottle of local wine with check in. Not really as lush or luxurious as other hotels in that price range. Having said all that, would still stay here again.

Starting off, the spot is beautiful. On arrival the greeting…read morestaff was great, explained everything and got us checked in quickly. On entry to the room, first reaction was, this place sort of smells. Not great, but not awful. Not sure what cleaner they use, but smelled like a 1980's Motel 6. Really put us off. Opened a few windows (weather was great) and that helped some. Again, view out the now open windows was great. Place was very clean, old but nice inside, no complaints there. Free continental breakfast was pretty good. Not sure why a croissant and a muffin were needed, especially since the muffin was a bit uninspired, but can't complain about free. The granola and juice were quite good. Would I stay again, probably, but not saying I won't shop around first to see if anything else hits me better.

We also got the clam chowder with a bread bowl and we should have gotten two because we were fighting each other over it, lol..

I couldn't really taste the clams. I would not get this again. The fish and chips were solid, I would get it again. You get 4 pieces of fried fish on a bed of fries. The tartar sauce could be better, the coating on the fried fish was crispy and did not have too much oil. The fries were just okay. Small parking lot in front, I can see it overfilling during weekends or holidays. There are tables and chairs inside with a cool view of the road, more seats outside and also in their outdoor dining room. You order inside, find a seat and they'll bring your food out to you. Love their boathouse theme, you'll see cool boating elements throughout the restaurant.

We have been using Bodega Harbor Inn for over 35 years and have always had exceptional customer…read moreservice from George and Steve. Our most recent experience was not great with newer employee (Gina). When we arrived on WED we were happy to get our keys to the Harbor House as it was our first time to stay in this house. We got into the house and we realized it smelled of gas. There was one burner that was taped off with do not use on the tape. It was obvious that the Inn was aware there was a problem, yet this was not taken care of properly prior to our arrival. We returned to the office to inform them with our concerns in the Harbor House. Gina let us know that she has had other guests with the same complaints but she said it had been recently serviced. She said if it made us feel better she could have the handyman come look at it again in the morning. She tried to reach the him, but there was no answer and she had to leave a message. Gina did assure us that the owners daughter had just stayed in the Harbor House with no complaints. We chose to stay the night and have the handyman check the stove in the morning. It was two days before the stove was checked so we were not able to use the heat or stove until Friday evening. The young man who worked on the stove let us know it was leaking gas because it was not fixed correctly. We also had some attitude from Gina when we tried to get 4 wash cloths and more coffee for the coffee maker. We also had to ask for toilet paper twice because we only had 2 spare rolls for 4 adults staying 5 nights (6 days). We should have been offered a discount for the 3 days we were not able to safely use the heater and stove due to the gas leak. We have decided that we will have to move on and find a new place to stay for our yearly vacation to Bodega Bay. I think things would have been handled differently had George or Steve been running the office that week. We are very lucky that the house did not blow up nor did we have poisoning due to the natural gas leak. Keeping all the windows open until it was properly serviced was difficult because it was so cold, but we are still here to share this story. Looking back on this we never should have stayed in the home but I am happy to be alive. We are just disappointed that our trip was not enjoyable and we paid extra to stay in the house when we would have had a better vacation just renting a room without these issues.

You really can't beat the views at Bodega Harbor Inn! They have plenty of Adirondack chairs where…read moreyou can sit back and relax, along with a few tables that were perfect for enjoying a glass of wine, playing Yahtzee, and watching the sunset. The inn is located on a busy road, but traffic slows down in the evening. The rooms have a charming beachy feel and are on the smaller side, but that's exactly what we expected after reading reviews. We were only staying one night, so we booked the smallest room. If we return for a longer stay, we'd probably opt for a larger room. That said, if you're in Bodega Bay, hopefully you're spending most of your time exploring rather than sitting in your room! The rooms include mini fridges and a coffee station, and the lobby has a larger coffee and tea station as well as a microwave. Parking is located right outside your room, which makes loading and unloading easy. The location is also very convenient. It's within walking distance of a grocery store that has just about everything you might need, including a deli. The Birds Cafe is right across the street and serves coffee, delicious breakfasts, oysters, lobster rolls, and more - all with fantastic views. Overall, this is a great spot if you're looking for a comfortable stay with incredible views and easy access to everything Bodega Bay has to offer.
