    GET THE OYSTERS. Everything was great - the best fish and chips ever!! Gluten free wth rice flour so it's super crispy! All great. Definitely a good stop on the way up this coast

    On our way down the coast, we stopped at Tony's to get some lunch. We arrived a bit early so we waited until they opened. The restaurant is located right over the water on Tomales bay. We were in the mood for some good oysters. Oysters a bit pricy considering local oysters. The view however was great, the inside was welcoming and the food was good. It was a bit odd that there was no music, so best bring someone to converse with. Overall good lunch, so much potential.

    Before I write anything else, get the chipotle bourbon butter grilled oysters. Get dozens of them if you can. It's literally the best thing I've eaten this year so far. The vibe is cool, right on PCH so almost anywhere you sit you can see the bay. Parking is a little tough, they have a small strip of parking out front. We got lucky and grabbed a spot as someone left, but there were cars waiting around. Definitely make a reservation, especially on a weekend. The food was a 10/10. Service was okay, they were friendly but they didn't seem to check on any of the tables much in general, water cups sitting empty, etc. Still a 5-star experience for the food and the vibes. We got a half dozen of the Hog Island Highwater raw oysters and a half dozen of the chipotle bourbon butter grilled oysters. Oh my gosh. The Highwaters were great, but the grilled oysters were absolutely the star of the show - garlicky, buttery, massive oysters. My husband and I were literally fighting over scraps. Fish and chips were solid, nice crispy batter on the fish, and the grilled zucchini was great as well. I will absolutely be back.

    The Highlights: 1. Oyster Shooters: Phenomenal flavor profile. The Bloody Mary mix is delicious, and adding their signature hot sauce gives it the perfect kick. 2. Grilled Oysters: We ordered a mix of the miso nori and chipotle bourbon. Both were excellent, but the chipotle bourbon was the clear standout. 3. Drink Pairing: The clam chowder paired perfectly with the Hog Island Oyster white wine. Atmosphere: We sat outside with our dog, and the view of Tomales Bay is absolutely beautiful. The Details: Service: Solid and friendly. Food Note: While the fish taco was perfectly fine, it didn't quite reach the same high bar as the incredible oysters. Pro-Tip: Make a reservation! I am so glad I did. This place gets busy, especially on weekends and holidays. Without a reservation, expect a wait of about 1.5 hours. Pet-Friendly: A great spot if you are traveling with your dog; the outdoor seating is very accommodating. Overall, a great experience. We will definitely be back for more!

    Hog Island Oysters opened Tony's as a sister restaurant in 2017 right on the water on Tomales Bay, and we had a wonderful experience! The menu is the Hog Island's menu, so we knew to expect delicious everything! We shared a dozen oysters, Sweetwater, Kumamoto and Highwater, all sweet, briny and delicious! We shared the grilled Miso Nori Butter oysters, and the "nothing short of spectacular" Rustic Seafood Stew. Yummiest seafood since our last visit to Hog Island!! Their Virgin Bloody Mary was spicy and delicious too. Highly recommend!

    Go Shuck Yourself First established in 1948 by Croatian fisherman Anton "Tony" Konatich, Tony's is a legendary spot in the quiet seaside town of Marshall. It served up some of the freshest seafood and oysters around until 2017, when it closed due to the owners wanting to retire. Fortunately, nearby Hog Island Oyster Co. saw an opportunity to buy them out and keep this historic restaurant going for future generations. The gamble paid off, as Tony's was awarded Michelin Guide "Recommended" recognition in 2021 and every year thereafter. The Good: * Reservations via Resy * Outdoor seating * Great harbor views from any seat in the house * Fantastic service from "Kyle R." We started chatting about oysters, and when the subject of Carissa being a raw oyster virgin came up, he wasn't having any of that. He quickly brought us two complimentary raw oysters with escabeche sauce to try. Now that's customer service! * Local brews on tap, though not a huge selection. * Speaking of oysters, the grilled oysters with miso-nori butter were absolutely fantastic. So much umami flavor that I could've eaten a bucket of them. * The seafood stew (basically a cioppino) was absolutely packed with goodness and featured a rich, delicious tomato broth. The perfect dish for the cold, damp weather common here. * The buttermilk panna cotta dessert was absolutely fantastic. The custard was smooth and elegant, and I loved the added crunch of the granola and sweet pops of fruit from the fresh blackberries. Simple, but executed perfectly. The Meh: * Cell phone reception is spotty at best in this area, so make sure you set your navigation before you start driving over * Fish tacos were just OK. Probably not the thing to get here, but they were edible The Ugly: * Parking is kind of a shit show. There are a few spots in front of the restaurant, but you'll most likely have to park along the shoulder of the highway a bit farther down Conclusion: Tony's is one of those hidden gems that fits the description to a "T." If you're a lover of seafood, great service, and ocean views, this place is a must.

    Tony's Seafood, nestled beside Tomales Bay in the tiny Northern California hamlet of Marshall, is the kind of place where a lazy Sunday can feel like a proper seaside escape. The restaurant's menu pivots on the tides--oysters shucked to order, clams plucked from the same waters, and pastas that arrive as both comfort and celebration. On a recent visit, the food was excellent, with the singular misstep of the clam chowder that did little to dampen an otherwise great meal. Tony's oysters, served on the half shell with a squeeze of lemon and a brisk walk along the water, are the star of the operation. The meat is briny but clean, with a crisp sweetness that speaks to careful stewardship of the bay. Whether eaten straight or with a whisper of mignonette, they possess the sort of effortless elegance that makes you forget you're in a casual, no‑frills dining room. The clams and bucatini, another menu highlight, combine plump, well‑cooked shellfish with stubby, toothsome strands of pasta in a light, shell‑infused broth that feels more like a seaside celebration than a gut‑bomb of cream and butter. The dish is both comforting and refined, letting the iodine‑tinged sweetness of the clams take center stage. The clam chowder, a house signature, arrives with plenty of fresh Manila clams and a dedicated gluten‑free preparation, but its texture--was thin without the clam brine seeping through. Tony's charms stem as much from its setting as its plate: a low‑slung structure by the water, speckled with live music on Sundays and the kind of easygoing service that suits a place where people come to linger. For all its modesty, the restaurant delivers something that feels like a small revelation: seafood that tastes like the bay that produced it, ideal for a day trip from the Bay Area where the drive is half the pleasure and the oyster another.

    Out for a drive taking in the local sites and enjoying the fresh air and wonderful views of the Tomales Bay. Wanting to try the local cuisine so we stopped in to Tony's, great spot on the water with wonderful views of the Bay we were seated inside in a simply decorated nautical style dining room. All the seating outside on the deck was taken by frankly the view from our counter seating was fantastic. Naomi was our server and she was friendly happy and full of spunk such a pleasure. We tried the Bloody Marys without Vodka and they were amazing, great house made mix and you could not tell that there was not a drop of Vodka in it. Great flavor and interestingly prepared. We enjoyed the local oysters fresh and very tasty followed by a bowl of the chowder, light broth not like the heavy stew type chowders you find. Butter and creamy broth with fresh clams and vegetables. Seasoned with herbs this chowder was a delizioso bowl of goodness. Tony's was a good stop to enjoy the views and the local seafood of Tomales Bay. Well done Tony's Seafood a great presentation of the local cuisine. Bravissimo

    This is a must visit place for me when I am in the bat area. The oysters are what I come for, they are so good. We had the bar mix oysters 24, including the sweetwater, that is from local Tomales Bay, the Kumamoto and the Highwater from Humboldt Bay. We also ordered the grilled Lingcod collar, smoke oysters fish & chips and a Cesar salad. For dessert we had the penna cotta. All are super delicious. It took us more than 3 hours to drive there but totally worth the trip. Service is very good. Our server Michael was very attentive. Restaurant is along Highway 1, parking is right outside. Scenery is also right great.

    A must stop everytime we are around that area! Fresh shucked oyster , rustic seafood stew, pickled veggie , fish and chips and the special smoked abalone was fresh and delicious to our palate !!Sure the wait was quite a bit but the food came out piping hot so didn't mind the wait !

    We couldn't get a reservation at the Hog Island Oyster Co.'s outdoor Boat Oyster Bar, so made a reservation here for their oysters. Tony's Seafood takes walk-ins, but it's best to make a reservation. We went on a Monday afternoon and there was a 30-40 minute wait without a reservation. Both indoor and outdoor tables are quite nice, with views of Tomales Bay. The atmosphere is chill, with many people here for just oysters and beer. I like their grilled oysters the best, especially with the chipotle bourbon butter, although the garlic butter and delicate squash butter toppings are delicious as well. We happened to catch sunset while we were dining, and it was beautiful!

    Super Pup.

    A long overdue getaway motorcycle ride up Hwy 1 and I knew I needed an oyster stop. Heard good things about this place as a sister to Hog Island Oyster Co so needed to check it out. Begin with a Bloody Mary. Quite nice...loved the seasoning. Dozen oysters, mixed variety...a taste of the ocean. Then Seafood Stew...everything cioppino without the crab. Absolutely packed full of seafood. A wonderful indulgence. Nothing's cheap, you get what you pay for, and this was worth the ride and every penny.

    Ask the Community - Tony's Seafood Restaurant

    Is there a kids menu?

    Hi Elaine, Yes, we have a small kid’s menu. Thanks

    What's the average wait time for no reservation on the weekend (outside seating)?

    Hi Maddie, thanks for your question. The wait time can really vary, depending on weather, time of day, and what size party. outside waits can be 2 hours or more, but are usually closer to 30 minutes. Smaller groups are easier to accommodate and… 

    What is the parking situation? Easy to find or we will have to drive around?

    Hi, it really depends on when you arrive. We have parking, but on busy days you may have to walk a bit. Thanks for checking in

    Summer hours on a Saturday are 11:30am-7:30pm. Does the kitchen close earlier?

    Are pets allowed in the outside seating?

    Yes!! We brought our two grandpups - it was cold, but at least they were able to sit with us. (No pets indoor)

    Do you have a dock for customer's arriving by boat?

    Unfortunately the dock behind Tony’s is not open to the public. You can dock closer to the Marconi Center further south but then there’s a bit of a walk, but it’s not too bad.

    Can you request outdoor seating in your reservation? We made one but it was for general seating and we aren't sure what that means?

    Yes you can. You can either make a note on Resy or leave them a voicemail telling them where you would like to sit - inside or outside. General seating means any table, anywhere.

    Are dogs allowed in the patio?

    Yes! Tony's is pet friendly and even had a water bowls for doggies available.

    Is there a Corkage fee at Tony's seafood?

    Good evening. The corkage is $20, if you buy a bottle from Tony’s the corkage is waived. Have a great night!

    The Marshall Store is another spot we visit whenever we're in Pt. Reyes. Located on Highway 1, it's…read morejust down the road a bit from Hog Island, so we'll typically hit this spot either right after Hog Island, or the following day, depending on our appetite. Unlike Hog Island, you generally don't need a reservation to get in, but you might need to wait a bit for a table. There is seating both in the upper area next to Highway 1, or in the back area of the restaurant, closer to the water. Both are perfectly nice to sit at. Depending on where you end up, you may be completely unshielded from the sun, so hats and sunscreen are a must. The food is delicious. Everything is always fresh and local. Raw Tomales Bay oysters, BBQ'ed oysters, various seafood dishes, sandwiches, cheeses, and crab when it's in season. Speaking of crab - a bit of a tangent story here - about five years ago during a weekend in Pt. Reyes, I indulged heavily in crab as well as other shellfish, and quickly developed a severe allergic reaction where my face swelled up beyond recognition. It took a couple of months for the swelling to fully subside. Subsequently, I was diagnosed with a shellfish allergy, which I'm certain was a misdiagnosis (wouldn't be the first time) because I've continued eating shellfish per usual since with no further issues. I believe that particular season there was something with the algae or something else in the water that provoked such a severe reaction. To be safe, I now carry an epi pen, but have thankfully never needed it. And you best believe next time they have crab, we'll be ordering a couple, lol. Anyway, The Marshall Store is a terrific stop along Highway 1. Be sure to check it out when in the area. Enjoy!

    I love supporting local businesses but the prices were outrageous for oysters that are literally…read moreharvested right there in the water. It doesn't need to get shipped anywhere... It was 5 dollars per cooked oyster and 4 dollars per raw oyster. 25 for 6 raw oysters and 30 for cooked ones. I think restaurants charge less. The oysters were also extremely tiny it was so disappointing.It used to be that you could come to tomales bay for affordable oysters. The clam chowder was decent. Not a lot of clams and also a lot of parsley/herbs which is not my preference. It was comforting and warm with the view of the water.

    I have visited Fishetarian many times, and it is consistently amazing in every way! Everyone I know…read morewho has been there says the same thing. It is SO worth the drive to Bodega Bay! Here's the scoop: Everything they prepare is fresh and well done. Their fish and chips,and fish tacos lightly coated, fried to a delicate perfection. Moist, plump and delicious. The calamari is always done perfectly, never overcooked or chewy, but buttery soft. If you've never had calamari, try it here first and it is bound to set the bar too high for any other place you try it. You can order outside a kiosks, or get in line inside. There is a cooler of drinks (soda, kombucha, iced tea, etc) each for $5.00. The small but mighty menu is posted on the wall behind the register, and they do offer gluten free options. I usually share an order of fish and chips, or get the crab cakes which are very large, tender and filled with crab. Fries are offered with meals, or there is a delicious kale salad you can have instead, which is really yummy. Sweet treats like cookies, cheesecake, rice krispie bars etc are near the checkout register. They have sundries, and t-shirts which were moved to the porch and fun to look over. There is a fun "sauce station" near the exit, where you can fill small paper cups with tartar sauce, Maui Zowy sauce, cocktail sauce, etc, and a water dispenser with filtered water. Recently they completed a renovation, and expanded covered seating just behind the main building, open at both ends so the bay can be seen. There are heaters above the tables inside this area, perfect if the air is chilly. Also standing heater towers near the picnic tables in the front. They added a few more portable (higher end) portable toilets on site, which are kept super clean without any smell. And the staff are super helpful and patient ( like when you are ordering food and want it all and cannot decide what to get!). Eating at the Fishetarian is amazing and so worth the drive to the bay.

    We made a point to get to the Fishetarian early since the last time we were in Bodega Bay the line…read morewas super long!!! We drove all the way from Dixon (1.5 hours) to try it out! The parking situation is crazy as big cars park in the little lot spaces, so make sure you bring your Prius and not your big truck! We managed to get a great spot. The deli/market was not super busy yet so we were happy for that! We didn't use the self-serve kiosk and went inside to the counter instead. I knew exactly what I wanted (2-piece Fishetarian-style Fish N Chips with sweet potato fries). Manuel wasn't as clear in his decision and ended up ordering the Lobster Roll. We sat outside at a picnic table overlooking the bay. It was a great little spot. Our food took about 10 minutes so it wasn't that long. I was so excited to eat my fish n chips! I was not disappointed. The fish was flaky, the breading was crunchy and the flavor was great with the tartar sauce and the chipotle mayo. Manuel enjoyed his lobster roll. He also used the chipotle mayo as some added sauce/flavor. The sweet potato fries were BOMB! We only had a couple that were burnt and most were perfectly crunchy! The sauces that were available were delicious - especially the chipotle mayo. There was Maui-Wowie, Tartar sauce, chipotle mayo and ketchup, among a few others. We LOVED the chipotle mayo. And, lastly, the bathrooms were (pleasantly) surprisingly clean!!! BONUS!!!! We had a great experience!
