Drakes Sonoma Coast

Want a worthwhile dining experience when in Bodega Bay? Check out Drakes, as we recently celebrated there with a birthday dinner. The food was delicious. We shared a large Young Lettuce Salad that was fantastic. For entrees, my partner loved her halibut, especially the sides; I went with the oven-roasted chicken, which was one of the most tender and flavorful pieces of poultry I have ever experienced. For dessert, my partner enjoyed a piece of birthday cake, while I enjoyed three scoops of gelato. Excellent finale. Wine selection is good, with a number of choices "by the glass." Service was great. Our server was attentive, prompt and personable. He answered our questions, which helped us in making our selections. The environment is very nice; for attire, we saw everything from jeans to s

We absolutely loved it! Heaven on Earth! Luis made us feel like princesses! The food was amazing! We enjoyed our cocktails. The views are spectacular with the fire pits when it's chilly you will never want to go home! :-)

First visit to this establishment. Wife had the duroc porkchop and I had the black rice bowl with halibut. Chocolate cake for dessert.

My husband and I had dinner here last night, and it was easily the best meal of our trip. We were able to make a reservation the same day. They were running a little behind when we arrived, but it was no issue for us and absolutely worth the wait. The host walked us over to the lounge bar, where we enjoyed drinks while waiting for our table. I ordered the Spiced Merchant, which was excellent — I would definitely recommend it if you enjoy rum. The food is priced on the higher end, but the quality, flavor, and portion sizes make it well worth it. My husband started with the Gem Caesar salad, and I had the beet carpaccio, which was incredible (and a must if you love beets). We also added a bread basket, which was a great addition. For our mains, my husband ordered the pork chop with mushro

Wow!! This hidden gem is a wonderful find! Took my boy Brey to Dillon Beach and then here for brunch. The roads in the area are dicey- on the level of Hwy 1 but worth it. I had the BEST Eggs Benedict of my life!! Seriously the potatoes were cooked exactly how I like crispy on the outside soft inside- nothing soggy or mushy. The bearnaise was perfect, I love when they stick to traditional English muffins and ham- both excellent! Egg poached perfectly. I fear I am now ruined for any other eggs Benny!! In fact a place I subsequently went and ordered used brioche bread - which soaked up all the good flavors and left w w a mouthful of bread!! Thank you for what will likely be the Eggs Benedict that all future EB will be compared with!! Phenomenal!
