    The server was excellent and the food was great I wish I could remember the name of our server because I was not feeling well and couldn’t eat much, she took extra of us and when it was time to go she took extra care to wrap up our food to go. I would highly recommend Drakes restaurant to anyone

    Halibut was overcooked and broth pretty fishy. Limited menu, pleasant service, excellent bread for extra $5.

    Absolutely the best experience I had so far rather than the Riveira in Santa Rosa ! Not Italian of course, but just wanted to check out drakes from what I saw online about how good the food looks and stuff :) was very impressed with the menu options and vast selection of wines and champagnes even though I am not 21 haha. Still amazing tho the setting and everything was so nice 10/10 would go again!

    Phenomenal service with great food at a great price. The bread was amazing, as were the clams. Most importantly, I noted it was my partner’s birthday on the reservation and they gave us a free dessert with a candle! I couldn’t recommend this restaurant more strongly!

    We are both vegetarian, and there were not many choices, but the ones they had were fabulous. The beet salad sitting atop the pistachio butter was to die for! The Black Rice dish was also delicious. And the banana bread pudding for dessert was fabulous! Thanks!

    This was our 4th time here. Our food was fantastic. We had the Halibut and the pork chop. Drinks were equally good. Our waitress was phenomenal. Checked in on a regular basis so we were never in need of anything. It's definitely worth a try for fine dining in Bodega Bay.

    Good food and good service. The chocolate dessert with peanut butter had almost no chocolate flavor, minor let down. Diners not staying a the associated hotel should know it is impossible to get car service after dinner. We had to call family from Petaluma.

    The English muffin on the eggs Benedict was hard and inedible. There was no host and I had to insure they confirmed my reservation because it had a $25 cancellation fee attached. It’s also a difficult place to find since it’s located at the Bodega Bay Lodge which the signage is tucked away from highway one. The view is gorgeous but considering all the other factors, we will not return anytime soon

    Our dinner at Drakes was outstanding! The halibut in corn miso broth was so original and flavorful. My son appreciated that the trout he enjoyed was de-boned. The clams were so exceptional. I order the clams in broth most places I visit, these are my current favorite! We had a splendid time. Our server was so gracious and lovely.

    I came in for a quiet, solo dinner for my birthday and it was perfect. From the host to my server to the table to the food - it was all perfect. My server, whose name I ironically enough can’t recall - Hannah? Chelsea? - was remarkable! So polite, so sweet, with great recommendations. Thank you for a lovely evening.

    The beet appetizer was very good, as was the bread bowl. Service was good. That's where it ends. We ordered the ribeye steaks. The worst ribeyes we have ever had. No deep, tender, beefy, melt in your mouth taste or flavor you expect to find with this cut of meat. Way too chewy, like a very bad sirloin cut and the green, garlicky, butter laden chimmuchurri on top did nothing for it, but make it look unappetizing before you even cut into it. Definitely not worth the $56/each price! Will not return.
