We stayed at The Lodge at Bodega Bay for several days in February and had both morning and evening meals at Drakes Sonoma Coast. The restaurant was warm, welcoming and, like the Lodge, comforting and comfortable.Our breakfast seatings gave us an awesome view of the bay, flowering plants and birds flitting around. Highly recommend any of the eggs benedict, all favorites.Evening dining at Drakes was the food highlight of our trip (which included some meals in San Francisco). We had a sweet potato soup that was so incredible – when we first tasted it we immediately looked at each other with some astonishment.All the dishes we tried were (can we say?) “approachably sophisticated”, especially the Steamed Tomales Bay clams with chorizo – outstanding!The service was consistently perfect - attentive without being intrusive. Portions were generous, and we left relaxed, happy, and satiated. A truly marvelous experience!

We had the pork chop and pasta with mussels. The pork chop was huge but unfortunately a little dried out. The pasta was good but the mussels were small. We sat outside by the fire pits and it was absolutely beautiful. Our waitress was very friendly and the bus boy never let our water glasses get empty.

We ate dinner at Drakes for my birthday and it was nice but truthfully, the dinner we had at the Fireside lounge the night before (and the service - shout out to Halle) was better! Service at Drakes was extremely slow (Tom was our server), the steak was good but not the best we've ever had. The free dessert with a candle was sweet; the view was wonderful, and the charcuterie board was awesome. Left me with a so-so feeling. Love the Lodge and the people there but I think next trip we will try to find a different restaurant somewhere for our big night out dinner!

Waited an hour for the food to arrive after being ordered. Ordered the cod, which was two bites. Have gone here several times and had an okay experience, but this wasn't one of them. Service was average, at best.

We ate at the Drakes Sonoma twice. The service was excellent and both servers were very knowledgeable. Just a small thing...despite the fact that we made reservations well in advance, ( for February 14, 2024) there was no room for us in the main dinning area, and we sat in the overflow area; which worked out better, because there was less people. I wished they would have had the fireplace on. I asked and they were going to ask someone, but was never done. Otherwise, it was a very nice experience.

The view is gorgeous and our server was really kind and friendly. But we ordered the $28 Dungeness crab roll and it was 85% chopped up hard boiled egg whites. No mention of eggs in the description. Couldn't taste the crab at all. Felt like a cheap scam that was beneath the caliber of the place.

The weather was horrible and thank goodness Drakes was open, warm, and excellent service and food. I returned the following morning for coffee and again staff took care of my needs. We didn't have heat or lights at the house we rented. Thank everyone.

Great place to have brunch on the coast. We came in just for the brunch, try to request a window table in your reservation. Mimosas were a great start and there were a lot of nice options for main courses. Staff was attentive but not intrusive, would definitely go again.

Arrived early was told couldn't be seated before reservation, changed my reservation time and then was able to be seated even though place was completely empty. Auguachile was horrible, no flavor tasted like guacamole no spice. Drinks were light on alcohol and Ceasar salad was not fresh. Not worth the hour drive from Healdsburg. Drove back and went to Donner at a spot in Healdsburg. Views were nice that's about it.

This is a gem in Bodega Bay. One of 2-3 restaurants with exceptional food + service + comfortable view dining. Server Thomas has been with the restaurant for a while now - he's fantastic. We love the burger, the steamed clams w/chorizo, the caesar salad, and the tomato soup. Nice that they've reopened for lunch, too.

Drake's was magnificent. The food was outstanding and plentiful. Joaquin, our server, was great. He was very attentive to our needs and and very helpful with the menu. Overall, A very enjoyable evening for our anniversary.
