Ordered the red snapper grilled with rice and veggie medley. I asked to gave the veggies cooked til soft – no problem. The meal was literally perfect. My wife’s crab sandwich was less than desirable. But our friends fried fish and chips was also delicious. Cole slaw had a lot of sauce in it, but it had plenty of flavor. I had the Rodney Strong cab wine-great selection. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. I would definitely go back again.

Came on a Monday for brunch with girlfriends at the end of a coastal girls trip. We were seated right away by the window, which feels like you’re on the water.
Staff were so warm and friendly, and service was quick. We all ordered their seafood and eggs brunch, and the fish quality was exceptional. Very flavorful and huge portions as well.
There are plenty of tables inside, and the space is comfortable. We’d definitely come back on our next coastal drive.

We stayed at Bodega for a night and decided to try this place for breakfast. I wanted to try lunch but it was too early. We had a really nice view of the water, the entire staff is nice and friendly, the food was good and the bathrooms were so clean! Too bad we’re headed to another town but we would come back here again. We also decided to try their pastries, they are so worth it, like they are made from scratch. Don’t skip on this!

Its a great stop because of the history and some shopping. I only had the clam chowder and I was not impressed. It tasted like canned soup. Not sure if it was, it could have been made in house, but you’re better off going to a small place on the marina for chowder.

We had breakfast and dinner there but nothing really stood out to us except the atmosphere. First off, the Continental breakfast was really bad. We ordered it because it came with our hotel booking. The croissant tasted like an old piece from grocery stores, worse than the croissant we got the night before from The Bird cafe nearby. The muffin tasted way worse and I had to put it aside after just one bite. If you ever get a free breakfast coupon from the hotel across from it, pls do yourself a favor. Just ditch it and order something else. For dinner, we had shrimp pasta and red snapper with rice. The pasta was more salty than elsewhere but strangely it didn’t have that creamy, garlicky flavor with a hint of herbal and tomatoes mix. It was salty and bland. Weird. The snapper didn’t have much taste either. We ordered grilled snapper but it didn’t have any taste of grill, and I had to add more black pepper to spice it up, which I never did in the restaurant. Our server, however, was very nice. We also got a nice window seat, which had a five star view of the bay, sunset, and seals swimming by.

I stop here every once in awhile (mostly because I’m local and I love being near the coast, and this restaurant offers a water front view), and I’m always pleasantly surprised by the personable experience with the folks behind the bar – the staff here are super friendly. I really enjoyed my time here and am very appreciative for the level of service and, to be honest, expertise that is present here. It takes a lot of energy and dedication to do well in an environment that asks one to multi-task! (Way to go, Helen!).
Thank you so much for an experience that put a smile on my face.
With so much love ❤️

I’ve been here at The Tides. This time around I was disappointed. First, they sit us which at first I thought was a beautiful view. But only to be attacked by a swam of flies..I mean 1 fly is too many but I couldn’t count the swam because they were all over the window. We asked to be moved, they seated us completely opposite side of the restaurant. You would have thought we were hiding because it took them a while to find us. We ordered the seafood platter for 2, Chowder. Chowder was just ok, the platter was a huge disappointment. The oysters were the star although it was missing a serving of mignonette, dungeness crab looked like shredded crab. I had to mixed it up with the seafood sauce in order to add flavor. I had to ask saltine crackers to step it up. Lobster pieces were just ok, prawns were shrimpy no flavor, rubbery.

My wife and I had a wonderful time in Bodega Bay, and the Tides Wharf Restaurant was such a plus for us. First and foremost, the staff is 5 star. I was greeted by Anna on Saturday Morning and she provided excellent customer service. She was so welcoming, kind, friendly and I really felt like I was her only customer. I even told her Manager, who told me “Anna is the Hostess with the Mostess” We went back for lunch and again for Breakfast and everything was fresh and delicious and once again Anna provided us with a wonderful experience. Thank you for an outstanding weekend and we look forward to coming back soon. Sincerely,
Kevin

Service was eh, not super friendly. Asked for a margarita with no salt, gave the first one to my husband as it came with salt. The calamari was okay, not as melt in your mouth that I would expect from someway that specializes in fish. The clam chowder was the creamy and very tasty! We both really enjoyed it. Two margaritas, two large bowls of soup and calamari was over $90, just to give an idea of cost.

The restaurant is right on the bay with large viewing windows. We were delighted to see seals swimming right by our window! The service was excellent and the food was amazing.
