Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Bodega Bay

"Brothers Chef Dustin Valette and Aaron Garzini cook and greet guests at this high-end, chic restaurant, which has a reputation for beautifully constructed, artistic food plates and minimalist decor. A canvas for local farmers and winemakers, we'd recommend the chef’s tasting menu (and spring for the wine pairing). Highlights include Hawaiian ahi poke, summer squash soup, and char grilled prime New York steak."

"When beer and a pizza are calling your name, the casual Russian River Brewing Company is sure to hit the spot. The menu features tasty meatball sandwiches, calzones, and chicken wings, along with a long list of beers on tap. If you just can’t decide which beer to accompany your meal, you can try up to 18 beers when you opt for their massive sampler tray."

"Just down the street from Tex Wasabi’s is Russian River, a local brewery that is a regular spot for most locals. They host live bands and have a full menu as well as an ever-growing selection of beer. If it’s your first time visiting, it’s recommended you go for the beer sampler."

"I would be remiss to not kick this all off with Santa Rosa’s gem, Russian River Brewing Company. The brewery first opened on the Korbel property along the Russian River in nearby Guerneville in 1997. Two decades later, it’s one of the best-rated breweries in the world."

"With it's classy ambiance, Charlie Palmer's Dry Creek Kitchen is fancy indeed, a special night out sort of restaurant. Palmer is the Michelin star chef responsible for 14 top notch eateries and Dry Creek Kitchen inside the Hotel Healdsburg is elegant and refined, with surprisingly decent portions. What's Good: Monday -Thursday opt for the Sonoma Neighbor menu, a fixed price ($36) three course meal, add wine pairings for $18, or go large with five courses ($79), add wine pairings for $48."

"If a bakery has been open since 1923, as this one has, it has to be doing something right. Just one example of that something is pie, made with wholesome fresh ingredients including pure butter, farm fresh eggs, real vanilla, and unbleached flour. Classic fruit pies are deep-dish 8-inch flaky buttery crust models with seasonal fruits like pumpkin."

"Costeaux is the sweetest French bakery that I love to stop by for brunch (I love their quiche) or afternoon coffee and a treat. They also so boxed lunches, so it’s a perfect spot to pick up a delicious sandwich to enjoy at one of the many Healdsburg tasting rooms that offer outdoor seating for picnics."
