I had the 2 piece fish and chips, and a soda, and it came out to a hair over $21 before tip. This is around what I was expecting to pay for a meal in Bodega Bay, and the food was delicious! The fish pieces were a little small so if you're a big appetite person you might want to go with the 3 piece. The patio had a pretty nice view! The food came out quickly. Overall a really nice spot for lunch!

A quaint restaurant complex with wonderful outdoor seating and bay views. Staff was great and patient with our group order. The food was good, but definitely different that south Louisiana and the east coast. Coffee shop is attached and had great pastries and wine selections to boot. A very nice spot to stop either at the beginning or end of your coastal adventure. Con: only one bathroom, just need to know that before the beer drinking beginsšŸ˜‰šŸ‘šŸ½

I loved the artichoke tacos. Not some thing I would think of ordering as it’s not a usual thing on the menu, but the artichoke was deep-fried and the tacos were full of vegetables, so it was the best of both worlds. The two others in my party got the chicken tenders and the corn dogs with french fries. They thought it was a good value considering it’s so expensive eating out these days. We were offered all kinds of condiments. We got there early and the window was open so we stood waiting until the worker told us that they don’t open until 11:30 AM. Went to the Cafe next-door for coffee and a cinnamon bun Meanwhile. Once we could place our order we were able to pay with Apple Pay and got a buzzer. When the food was ready, we went to the other side of the little building to pick up our food. We sat on the upper patio with the dogs. They were trash cans, indicating where to put which kind of trash. Did not see any canned for regular trash that we had with us. They only serve recyclable and compostable trash, which is great. There is a restroom on the side of the building. The parking was easy at the end of the lot at the time we arrived, 11 AM on a Monday, but it was filling up as we sat at the restaurant.

Delicious fresh fish and chips with a Bodega Bay view also highly recommend Clam Chowder, especially on a wet, cold day. Inside and outside seating options. Nice place with a warm atmosphere, we are happy to be back, and prices are also okay.

Awesome place to eat! Delicious oysters especially with blue cheese and bacon recommended by Juan Miguel but all of them were very fresh and savoury. Really good wine. The visit in the Bird’s Cafe made our day! Very nice terrace to spend afternoon. High top service, Kind regards to Juan Miguel:)

Great view when not cloudy. Outdoor seating. They do BBQ oysters with sauce (herb was the better kind). There is parking. You order at one counter and pickup around the back.

Some of the most amazing fish tacos I ever had in recent times. The atmosphere, ambience and overall vibes of this place is pretty good. The prices are kinda high but so worth it. Parking is limited. Restroom is just one. Soda was complimentary when I asked. Overall HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Food is very good. My partner and I had the 3 piece fish and chips with one bowl of clam chowder. Everything was delicious! It's only outside eating on tables and chairs that was on their decking. They also have a coffee shop and a gift shop that were separate from each other.

As others have said, ocean views and outdoor seating! What can be wrong there? On to the grub. Best thing we’ve had here are the addicting artichoke fritters. Order them, even if you don’t order anything else. Onion rings - excellent. The fish and chips were cooked perfect but very bland, they need some fresh herbs/parsley/tarragon/chives - just something! And the clam chowder could use some too, instead of the peppery flavor that kinda obliterated the clam taste. Overall - we will be back, if only for the artichoke!

Literally, every single thing was so fresh and delicious! It was a little nippy outside, so we were thankful that they provided an indoor option for dining. If ever in the area, we will definitely return.

I couldn't decide what to eat so I ordered the bbq oysters, and the lobster roll with onion rings. I figured I would be needing a box for the rest of the roll I ate it all...delicious with a local tapped beer.

Traveling up the coast of California and stopped at the The Birds Cafe for lunch. Yummy food! I ordered the clam chowder; delicious and a very hefty portion! My hubby ordered the fish & chips. He loved it and stated the fish was fresh! We ate on site on their deck overlooking the bay. Wait time for food was great and everything was very clean. Friendly staff. On our next trip to this area we will definitely visit The Birds Cafe again.

We returned to have a lunch at this place twice, which basically shows how good the place is. BBQ oysters were delicious, especially given I don’t eat raw sea-food. Lobster roll was simply fantastic, can compete with lobster rolls in Maine, the dressing was so thoughtfully done, I can give this place 10 stars, if the rating would allow. Fish and chips were also good and fresh.

Solid fish and chips and great draft beers. I would recommend the 2-piece over the 3-piece; the fish pieces are large and 3-pieces plus fries was a lot of fried food. 🫠

Great little outside eatery! This place has a wonderful view with casual dining. You just walk up to the window make your order and they bring it to you on their nice outside patio. You can eat your lunch as you look out over the bay. Prices are affordable what’s the score be a good spot to take families they are also dog friendly
