    Had a great experience. The food and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend the tempura green beans for an app. We also enjoyed the pasta pescatore, salmon special, and burger. All came out piping hot and delicious. Had a great waiter and great views. Definitely recommend!

    First time trying this place. The service was amazing! Our waiter was super friendly and kept making my baby smile. It made my mama heart happy. Food was really good. Definitely going to come back here next time I come into town.

    We've been to Vue Kitchen for a couple special occasions while visiting Gualala for the weekend. The view at sunset is beautiful, and it's nice to take an afternoon walk down on the path below the backside of the restaurant. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. They don't take reservations for small groups but we've always been seated right away. We've enjoyed several of their starters, the short ribs, the ossobuco, and this past time, the catch of the day which was a seared scallop and orzo dish (garlic-ky and divine!). Everything we have had here has been perfectly cooked, well seasoned and beautifully plated.

    It definitely has a beautiful view, and the service was fine. I had the fish and chips which were just a little on the greasy side for me. I had a great glass of Merlot, but the other selections I probably would not have ordered. I sat at the bar that viewed the ocean, but I had to go get a menu from the front desk.

    Braised short ribs and osso bucco

    After looking at the menu online, hubby and I decided to come to this restaurant for our vacation dinner out. It did not disappoint. The location is lovely with all glass walls in the dining area so you have a view whereever you sit. We, lucky enough, sat right next to the window with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Our waiter greeted us quickly with a drink menu. We both ordered wine. They also had beer and cocktails. I ordered the osso bucco with a bowl of clam chowder and hubby ordered the braised short ribs with claim chowder. My osso bucco was delicious with a gorgeous presentation. The meat was fall off the bone tender, the polenta was creamy and the roasted carrots were sweet and tender. Hubby's braised short rib was extremely tender with a to die for blue cheese butter on top. It also had whipped potatoes and sweet carrots. The clam chowder was probably one of the best I've ever had, creamy, big chunks of clam that weren't fishy or sandy. We also ordered one dessert to go; tiramisu. It was so good, I wish we had ordered two pieces! Wait staff was fantastic, attentive and very friendly. Prices were reasonable for what you get and the ambiance. A++

    There are a limited amount of nice, elegant restaurants to book for a large party in the Gualala area. Vue Kitchen was a last resort after other places charged too much with a bunch of different fees. Even though it was not our first choice, I'm glad that Vue Kitchen gave us a memorable dining experience. Booked the place for 10+ people and they gave us a private dining room with an amazing server. The view of the sunset over the ocean was phenomenal. The food, of course, was very delicious. The ribeye steak was juicy and tender. The flatbread was probably our group's favorite for appetizer. If you're looking for an amazing dining experience in Gualala, I highly recommend this restaurant!

    Glass of Cabernet Sauvignon

    Happy hour at the bar with the best views! Grabbed a seat at the bar just in time for sunset on a Friday night. Ordered cocktails and calamari to start, followed by crab cakes and a cheeseburger with a glass of their Cabernet Sauvignon (from Kenwood in Anderson Valley). The calamari and (strong!) house cocktails were where it was at! The fry was light but crisp and their smokey aioli complimented the appetizer perfectly. The cheeseburger was a bit thin for my preference, but was generously layered with crisp bacon. It paired well with the Cabernet Sauvignon. Our bartender extroirdinaire, Jared, kept libations flowing! Would definitely recommend and repeat the experience.

    Dinner Special: Halibut
    Raylene T.

    Best experience yet with this place. We went to dinner kind of late, 30 minutes until close and we received the best service this time around. We tried different dishes and we were not disappointed at all. I tasted the halibut and it was flavorful and perfectly flaky. Well done because halibut is known to be fishy and that wasn't the case this time. Then I had mine the chicken dish. The chicken was very tiny which was a disappointment because it was so good but just to small. The rice and cabbage was perfectly cooked but the green beans just lacked serious flavor and I just couldn't eat those so I left those behind. The flatbread was so delicious and would have been better paired with a balsamic glaze to drizzle on top but still good none the less. We love coming here when we are visiting family and this is our date night spot. Look forward to my next visit

    Portabella Mushroom Fries With Pesto dip. Absolutely incredible!
    Jennifer M.

    Incredible! Our server was Kelly, he is absolutely fantastic! Ordered some finish and chips and asked if there was cocktail sauce, he said not yet but I can whip some up for you! It was the best cocktail sauce we had. He also recommended the portabella mushroom fries... OH my gawd! They were amazing! It came with a paprika aioli dipping sauce, but the chef said to try the pesto dip. Pesto won!! Exactly dinning experience, amazing staff!! Will be back for the chowder!

    a glass of beer and a martini on a table

    Really enjoyed our dining experience at Vue Coastal Kitchen. My husband and I came in for an early dinner to avoid the dinner rush, I'm so glad we did as this cozy restaurant tends to get packed. We were immediately seated in the dining room; which has sweeping views of Gualala River and the Pacific. Service was phenomenal, our server was friendly and engaging. We ended up ordering the Fried Calamari, the VUE Clam Chowder, the Flatiorn steak and the VUE cheeseburger. Everything was fresh and delicious, the calamari was outstanding. The Vue Kitchen is a part of the Hotel Breakers which offers ocean front lodging. We rent a house in the Sea Ranch with our family every year, but if it were just the two of us I would definitely want to stay at Hotel Breakers, especially since the Vue is right next door. If you happen to be in the area, I highly recommend this lovely coastal restaurant!

    Visited for dinner on Thursday with a group of 10. They were able to accommodate the same day reservation and we had a fantastic server (Kelley). He was attentive, kind to the whole group, and was very knowledgeable about the menu. The view, as the name suggests, is the focal point of the visit. We were lucky enough to see a gorgeous sunset. The food was fantastic. They had a special filet mignon that several people got and they raved about how good it was. The beef was locally sourced and fresh. I had a martini that was very good. I split the ahi tuna special and the branzino with my friend and both were fabulous. I would absolutely recommend this spot if you're in town and I'll be back for sure.

    This is a small town that highway 1 runs through and this Japanese restaurant is worth a stop when…read moreyou drive through. It is fantastic. They have a very large selection of sake, and the servers know and talk with the locals which is so nice to see in our modern society. The sashimi was absolutely stunningly good. Every dish was fantastic (we did the chef tasting menu - 5 course meal) and at the end we both looked at the Michelin guide because "this place has to be rated!) Take a drive or reroute yourself through Point Arena. You won't be sorry.

    Went to Gama for my bday dinner. Had a reservation and it was pretty quiet inside so we were able…read moreto sit at a table instead of the bar. Usually we like sitting at the bar to see the chefs do their thing, but this place is not like that at least the night we went to which was surprising cause Japanese establishments typically are cooking out in the open. They had a lot of different sakes which was really nice to see but no draft beer unless I missed it. They let you pick a cup for your sake which is so cute, I loved that. All their table wear was so beautiful. We got a fruity sake first and loved that one. The second one was the "goku" it was giving straight sake. I'd prolly stick to fruitier ones. The server was very kind and she was easy to talk to and provided great service. As for the food, I thought it was pretty okay! We ordered the omakase which was $75 per person and it was very filling. We had trout sashimi which had some bite texturally not my fave fish tbh. Potato Salad which a jammy egg omg I loved it but wondered how it'd taste if the egg was marinated. The mushroom soup was lemony and oniony it was pretty good. The karage could've been crispier imo and I wish the wasabi aoli was a lil different but it was still good. The robata was hella good my fave was the meatball one, I'm not a big fan of cartilage but that it very well cooked, and I appreciated the pile seasoning provided as well. The strawberry topped panna cotta was so good no notes. Overall, pretty good and I'd go again if I was in this area and order individual dishes especially the potato salad and panna cotta. Not really the vibe of an izakaya imo but def a nice Japanese restaurant with some twists.
