The Bay View | Restaurant & Lounge

"I only come here for the most celebratory of occasions. The special tonight, as pictured, is a lovely duck breast with cherry sauce, served with basil mashed potatoes and asparagus. Also pictured, signature menu item, The Hitchcock."

"The food for the Kunde winemaker dinner was fabulous and very tasty. The service was excellent and the view was beautiful, I highly recommend trying this place for dinner while you are in the Bodega Bay area! They have a great wine selection as well as beer selection, I'm impressed by their bar offerings as well!"

"The Choco lava cake was extremely delicious."

"Great service and atmosphere, but I can't say much for portion size and the price. My family and I went here for dinner. The place was empty, except for two people. This is usually a bad sign, but I wanted to give the place a chance. Being a vegetarian, I ordered wild mushrooms cooked in wine sauce, over pasta and a salad. We got the salad in a massive bowl, but it looked like someone had hacked up a head of lettuce with big chunks with oil and balsamic vinegar. The salad was very bitter and the dressing was very sour, so it wasn't edible. Our server asked how was our food , and we simply said bad. Now the funny part was when they brought out the pasta. It came in this tiny, tiny TINY! waste of space of a bowl for $26 per dish!!! I looked up from my plate, like really? My mother ordered the same thing, and she just started laughing. It was so stupidly small that it was funny! My mom even looked around to see if we were being pranked! I know this restaurant was trying to be very European. Since I've been to Europe, so I know that they serve more food than that. Heck, I could get more out of a single pack of Top Ramen! Thank goodness for the bread and olives, or we would have starved! At least what little food we got for the entree tasted alright. So, in all, I don't recommended this place unless you eat before and after and have a big pocketbook!"

"We were staying at the hotel and were going in to enjoy a nice dinner after a relaxing day. They were slightly full but the host was trying to get us a table and got us in. In walks one of the rudest managers I have seen at any establishment in years. First he openly chastisised the host in front of us making everyone uncomfortable. He barely even looked at the seating chart and said he could seat us you could "check back in 30 minutes" didn't take our name down and say you can wait at the bar... didn't even say sorry. Then he looked at us and told us there is a place across the street trying to brush us off. I asked him, "....so what we come I back in 30 minutes and maybe we get to eat no guarantees?" It was at this point he finally looked at his seating chart and he "might be able to write us in in an hour and a half." Honestly even if he had a table magically open up we would have left, he had a diner with 15 tables and was acting like he was managing a 5 star restaurant. To top it all off as we left being made feel like we were not even wanted there we hear him loudly yelling at the host again. I was in food service myself in college this is probably the worst boss anyone could imagine to work for. I feel sorry for his staff and will NEVER eat at this place."
