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.

Our server Thomas was absolutely amazing and the food and drinks were perfection. The raw oysters, beet salad, clams and ribeye were all amazing. Complimentary champagne for our 14th year wedding anniversary was the cherry on top!

Great food, ambience, service, and a view…what more can you ask for? The bar area and outdoor patio with a fire pit is equally as good.

Excellent food and service. Noise level is loud. One can hear conversations across the room clearly. Noise buffers are needed. Prices are fair. Wine list is expensive. Good draft beer on tap selection.

We had the most amazing time celebrating a bachelorette with Drakes this past weekend. Our dinner started off with complimentary champagne and ended with a complimentary dessert to congratulate our bride. The team even provided our sober friend an NA option to cheers with. The dinner was outstanding — tasty seafood, really fresh veg, and great variety on the menu. We recommend the mussel cacio e pepe and any of the veggie starters. We also loved the ambiance of the dining room. It is super nice without being too stuffy. A special THANK YOU to our incredible waiter Thomas. He was attentive, easy to talk to, and took such great care of us. We loved chatting with him. We would absolutely recommend Drakes for a special occasion and nice dinner in Bodega.

The staff members were all polite, attentive, and knowledgeable. The food was delicious. The views of the bay (when the fog cleared) were marvelous from everywhere in the restaurant.

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!
