Best of The Bohemian Northbay Winner "Best Restaurant for Oysters" 2024 & 2025 and "Best Sommelier" and "Best Wine List in Sonoma County 2023"

Currently, all our seating is indoors, and we provide a unique experience in the heart of downtown Petaluma, nestled in the historic and beautiful Hotel Petaluma.

To ensure we can accommodate all of our guests, we kindly ask that table seating is limited to 1 hour and 45 minutes for parties of 2-4 and 2 hours for parties of 5+ or more.
While reservations are recommended, we do have an 18 seat first come, first served bar and hightop table selection for walk-in guests.

Great special appetizer of bruschetta with anchovies and pesto! Poke Bowl was good, fried calamari and veggies crispy, tasty. Interesting selection of cocktails. Would return!

We came to the Shuckery for my girlfriend’s birthday, and Hannah was an amazing waitress, incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable about the items that would be gluten intolerant safe, and when she didn’t know, she went and found out and made sure that we were taken care of! We will be back again soon because of the experience and the quality of the food.

Nice atmosphere, good food and drinks. Staff was pleasant but our server seemed overwhelmed. She forgot a couple of things I requested and we seldom saw her during our meal. The other staff dropped off our food, bussed our table and took our dessert order. Still, great experience and the staff works really hard, that much is evident. I’ll be back next time I’m in town.
