Exceptional chowder - clams, cod, leeks and bacon - delicious. Visited for an early dinner after an afternoon at Dillon Beach with my dogs. The views from the restaurant are gorgeous; Highly recommend making this part of a North Marin/Sonoma Coast trip!

Delicious food and friendly atmosphere, beautiful view of the ocean too. Service is casual and simple, we'll be back!! Ps: please get real wine glasses to serve wine ;) it doesn’t deserve to loose a star for that but good wine deserves a proper glass.

Beautiful laidback beach. Great for hiking, fishing, kite surfing and sand castles. My childhood summer place is still amazing.
