It was a marvelous experience with accommodating and competent staff, and obviously the presentation of sophisticated dishes crafted by a talented chef. Each dish was perfectly seasoned respecting the balance of the original flavors of the quality products and the aroma of elaborate sauces that perfectly enhanced the natural flavors. No wonder why this restaurant used to have a one star Michelin, which is still deserved today. We highly recommend the scallops which were cooked to perfection, very moist and tender inside while grilled outside. The fish stew was presented with its broth almost as sophisticated as what 3star Le Bernardin (Éric Ripert) offers in New York but with local sea food products instead. The desserts were equally amazing. Thank you. We will be back!

Second visit and it was just as good as the first. Made a reservation in advance via open table and was seated immediately upon arrival. Menu is small but changes often. $30 corkage fee. No complimentary bread. We ordered the crab ragout $26, duck $40, spare ribs $40. Asked for no added salt and they accommodated. It was nice that they offered to split our entrees and serve them nicely on separate plates. Felt like a coursed meal. All the food was high quality, reasonably priced and portions. Did didn’t take too long to come out. Service was decent. I indicated on the reservation it was for a birthday but I guess they don’t do anything for celebrations. Small, cozy restaurant. Medium sized parking lot that can fill up, but street parking is available as well.

This is the worst restaurant experience I’ve had. I’ve been to many Michelin-star restaurants, but this one was extremely disappointing. None of the food was hot—everything was barely warm. The duck meat was chewy and tough; I couldn’t even bite through it. The texture was rubbery and unpleasant.
There was no sauce, no bread with butter, and no balsamic vinegar unless you specifically asked. The portions were incredibly small. After spending $120, I was still hungry and had to get a hamburger afterward.
The fish stew contained only two small pieces of salmon. Other than that, there were just a couple of tiny calamari and octopus pieces—so small they were hard to even find. The amount of food was ridiculously minimal.
Everything lacked flavor. At a good restaurant, flavors usually linger pleasantly after the meal, but here there was nothing. As soon as I left the restaurant, there was no taste in my mouth at all. The spaghetti portion was laughable—only about 9 or 10 noodles. On top of that, the food presentation was not appealing at all.
There is nothing special about this place. Do not come here—you will be very disappointed. yuck!!

We enjoyed our anniversary dinner here. It was our first time coming to this restaurant in Bodega Bay, and we will definitely be back. The food was exquisite, and the service was exceptional. They have a great selection of wines, and the menu is well balanced. We’re so glad we chose this place to celebrate our seventh anniversary.

Normally we pass through Bodega Bay early afternoons, but we took a short vacation here which allowed us to explore. Terrain popped up on Google maps so I made a reservation. It was a delightful experience. We started with the Octopus and roasted cauliflower. The octopus was tender and the cauliflower was roasted perfectly. We followed up with the corn soup which is a don’t miss if it’s on the menu. Creamy taste of fresh corn. It has a jalapeño oil which isn’t spicy, but adds a little something special. For entrees we had the fresh pasta and the rib eye. My rib eye was a perfect mid rare, very tender. The mashed potatoes was luscious. The brocollini was cooked tender, and still had a good bite. I tried the pasta which was homemade and really enjoyed that. The portions were big enough we didn’t quite finish, but we made room for the sourdough bread pudding with roasted peaches. So soft and tender, warm and gooey in all the right ways. It made me like bread pudding which I didn’t think was possible. If you’re in the area, just make a reservation and go.

Food was outstanding, amazing flavor profiles on everything. Would definitely come again for the food. Definitely not a high end restaurant vibe but food delivered high end quality.

Terrapin Creek is a fantastic spot! We loved their fresh, seasonal menu – everything tasted amazing. The vibe is super chill and the service was friendly without being overbearing. Definitely a must-try if you’re in the Bodega Bay area for a relaxed, delicious meal.

From the moment we sat down, it was clear this restaurant pours an abundance of passion and craftsmanship into every dish. Each plate arrives with layers of flavor that speak to meticulous work and a genuine love for food.
The staff are warm and welcoming, and Rosie—our server—is truly one of a kind. Her genuine smile and attentive check-ins made the experience even more memorable.
The pork dish was cooked to absolute perfection, rich and tender in every bite. The American Wagyu, already a quality cut on its own, became exceptional through the magic of the chef’s technique. The crab cake came bursting with beautifully layered flavors, while the scallops were paired with an incredible sauce and fresh greens that made them irresistible.
Dessert was unforgettable—the warm carrot cake had just the right sweetness with a perfectly crusty bottom that was simply to die for. And to top it off, the Old Fashioned from the bar was so smooth and balanced it made you want to savor every drop.
An outstanding dining experience from start to finish—one that leaves you grateful for the artistry behind every dish.

Every time I’m in Bodega Bay I book a reservation here. It’s a must have. I have been here through the years and most recently brought a group of friends here to enjoy it with me.
I enjoy the simplicity of the dishes, but yet a delicate balance in flavor and texture with quality ingredients. I don’t remember having a bad dish here yet.
I also relish the hometown feel that this restaurant brings the chefs are kind and friendly, as well as the hostesses. Thank you for being a staple for me and my family all these years!

We have been wanting to come here for a while! It did not disappoint. The scallops were amazing and you must get them if you go! We definitely enjoyed the crab cake and crudo of hamachi as well. Our favorite main course was the pasta, there were so many flavors and the sausage was amazing. The seafood stew was not our favorite compared to our other mains, the Alaskan halibut was to die for!! We got a cheesecake to go as well, and it was great, all the desserts look so good. The owners are so sweet, and friendly. This is definitely on the pricey side though for pretty small portions, but it is great quality.
