“Good Food, Great Deal”
Review of The Boat House

The Boat House
Ranked #6 of 8 Quick Bites in Bodega Bay
Restaurant details
Reviewed 13 August 2017

For the price of a shrimp cocktail at either of the two high-end restaurants on U S 1 in Bodega Bay, we got very good fish and chips and fish tacos, a cup of clam chowder and a beer. Hardly fancy, but the good food and friendly atmosphere made it an obvious locals’ hangout.

And they were crispy, hot, and a great price. Also too large an order for me, so the dear hubby got an extra piece. You order at the counter, and then find a seat - nothing fancy, but satisfying for sure!

Doesn't look like much from outside but the food is definitely worth the stop - especially the fish and chips. Bonus is the value - "what you pay for what you get".

Dog friendly enclosed (sheltered from the wind) patio, too

Pros: Close to our motel
Cons: Poor service (34 minutes to serve our food)
Bland (there wasn't any flavor to the food)
Clam Chowder ( stuffed with celery as a filler for clams) Bad taste as well.
Fries: Limp and no flavor
Fish; no flavor and stiff
Portions: Small
Price: expensive for what it was
Our eyes deceive us when we read good reviews about this place. I really hate to give bad reviews about any establishment because I am aware that everyone is trying hard to make a living. This restaurant exist soley for the simple fact that most of the restaurants in Bodega Bay are terrible. If this restaurant were to be place in a competive enviroment; it wouldn't survive. IT'S VERY SAD THAT A TERRIBLE RESTAURANT SUCH AS THIS ONE CAN EVEN MERIT MORE THAN TWO STARS.

Very small with indoor and outdoor seating. Fish sandwich was simple and tasty. The fish was perfectly fried and crispy, the roll was freshly baked and the lettuce, tomato and onions were fresh as well. French fries were crisp too. The scallops were huge. Fried clams and calamari were perfect. Thick slices of bacon on the BLT. It's not fancy but it is clean and the service was pleasant. We will be back.
