Fresh Sonoma Coast Flavors

Drakes Sonoma Coast celebrates the local bounty of Sonoma’s spectacular coastal region. Your dining experience will be highlighted by the seasonal availability of local, sustainably farmed produce, seafood, and meat. A large stone fireplace adds a warm glow to the dining room, while soft leather chairs and local artwork create an elegant yet casual setting. We encourage our guests to sit and savor expertly selected wines and beers from Sonoma County and beyond, or to enjoy one of our lovingly crafted cocktails. Drakes is the perfect place to fuel up for coastal adventures or unwind at the end of your day, open for breakfast, lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.

We enjoyed our dinner at Drakes; the ambience was pleasant, the views incredible and the service impeccable. Their version of Halibut was not the best we’ve ever had but certainly was palatable.

It wa a foggy Monday lunch that exceeded expectations. Service was excellent, food well done and a corner table with a great view. All good from a Condé Nast rated destination resort. We’ll be back!

Nice restaurant located on premises of Bodega Bay Lodge. Good ambiance, nice estuary views, and great service. Relatively small number of choices for dinner but enough to satisfy most palates. Breakfast was good.

Always a great time at Drakes. Our server Lizette was attentive, kind, and made us feel right at home. As requested, there was champagne waiting at the table when we were seated! Don’t miss the Oysters or Hamachi crudo. Wife had the Cod and it was perfect. I ordered ribeye mid-rare but it came out rare without the fat rendered. They took it back to refire it and instead, they made me a whole new steak which was cooked perfect. They really care about your experience at Drakes. We’ll be coming back.

We were very hungry and had a 7:45 reservation. But we called and they graciously let us come at 6:30. The waitress was unbelievably good at her job. She made suggestions based on our questions that were perfect for us. Friendly, smart and helpful. The oysters were the best we ever had. The roast chicken was delicious. I loved the himachi. And because we had ice cream for dessert we now need to buy only Fiorello's.
