Really nice food, surprisingly well composed given the causal atmosphere. Excellent vegan options (4 dishes either are or can easily be made vegan without compromising flavor altho many omit key ingredients). In what is otherwise a near complete dead zone for even vegan options this place offers many and delicious ones with a great local beer and wine list and very friendly staff.

I was looking for something different and saw their oyster pizza. I was feeling brave, so I had it. Amazing. My wife had the best clam chowder she ever had. Brian was amazing. It was beautiful on the deck.
We went back the next day and took some family. We had what we had the day before, plus potato cheese fondue. Again, everything, including the wine was flavorful and we will be back on our next trip. This is the type of restaurant and food that justifies driving out of the way to get to.

A Coastal Culinary Gem: Chef Austin O’Donnell’s Magic at Gourmet Au Bay
Nestled along Bodega Bay’s picturesque shoreline, Gourmet Au Bay delivers an extraordinary dining experience under Chef Austin O’Donnell’s talented guidance.
Chef Austin’s passion was immediately evident as he shared stories about his Napa Valley roots and commitment to farm-to-table ingredients. Randy and I started with perfectly fresh oysters, followed by the Hummus Mezze with house-made pita bread – pillowy inside with just the right char outside.
The Beet Salad featured vibrant beets from Soda Canyon alongside foraged greens from Minor Winery, with whipped feta, pistachios, and vadouvan vinaigrette creating perfect harmony. On Chef Austin’s recommendation, we tried the crab roll on his unique milk bread – a revelation of textures and flavors.
The highlight was the Smoked Clam pizza, wood-fired to perfection with clams, garlic, olive oil, parsley, and Parmigiano – satisfying my seafood craving perfectly. Though typically not dessert-inclined, the carrot bread with Shasta Plum preserves and pistachio meringue had me practically licking the bowl clean.
Chef Austin’s ability to transform locally sourced ingredients into memorable dishes speaks to both his technical skill and deep understanding of flavors. His Napa Valley background shines through in every thoughtful preparation.
A special thank you to Chef Sebastian from The Garden at Tannery Bend Beer Works for recommending this hidden gem with its dog-friendly patio and panoramic views. We will certainly be back and encourage others to support this incredible gem in Bodega Bay – a place where exceptional food, warm service, and coastal charm come together perfectly.

We were really disappointed with the paella. The portion was more like an appetizer or small entrée rather than a main dish, especially for the $25 price tag. It came with just five small shrimp and a single piece of fish, and unfortunately, it lacked the richness and depth you’d expect from an authentic Spain paella. Definitely not worth the price.

Very kind, very professional. Amazing views. Great local wine list and the chefs always do a great job in their Wood-Fired ovens. A nice refuge to the otherwise tourist traps. Great alternative to enjoy the afternoon or evening with a small bite and a glass of wine.

We stopped here after a hike along the coast. Beers were great, the pizza was delicious and staff super friendly and welcoming. Sit outside and enjoy the peaceful, calm vibes in the sun.

You get treated, what else can I say.
Staff was super friendly and kept our glasses filled. Including a happy vacationing toddler.
Yummy small plates and more.
When they ask if you want dessert and they say butterscotch pudding, the answer is yes.
Parking plentiful.
Great views.

Nice restaurant nestled away from the major crowds. Beautiful view outside and nice hosts. We ordered ceviche and mussels. The flat bread that came with the ceviche itself was very good and overall both were good. The quantity of the mussels were really good for the price. Would definitely recommend.
Ample parking space was available. Restroom was also very well maintained.

They only loose one star on the food because they didn’t have any dessert. The rest was a perfect 5 stars: excellent food, great location, amazing view, and the most friendly staff we’ve seen in a long time! Keep it up and just add some desserts
