Reviews for Gourmet Au Bay in Bodega Bay, CA
Not sure how I've missed this place all these many years but a great find. I actually love that it was somewhat hidden away and... not in the main avenue of traffic and noise. Gorgeous view, friendly staff, and very large portions. I had the wedge salad whichwas amazing and also share the appetizer of cauliflower which was also incredible. I will definitely be back to try more. I wasa bit surprised there were no desserts on the menu at all nor was there coffee or tea on offer which would be nice for those ofus who don't drink. Great spot. Read more
Awesome place for a lunch by the bay. Great views whether you sit inside or outside.
Excellent and attentive service. I’ve been on the search to find a good paella that can standup next to the authentic flavors... and spices of Spain. I’ve finally found it here. The most delicious, flavorful paella experience I’ve had since I firsttried it abroad. We also had the oven roasted mussels which were mouthwatering and the smoked clam flat bread pizza. It’sfantastic that they offer a vegan cheese option so that my husband and I could both enjoy the dish. The vegan cheese meltedperfectly. We highly recommend this restaurant for those looking for a delicious meal with seafood options. Read more
This was a surprise spot as we took a turn and there it was! A happy wrong turn! You order and pay at the hostess station and... your food is brought to you. You can always open another tab and order more from your table, but, paying in advance makes it sonice as you can leave as soon as you want without having to flag down your server! Read more
We again visited Gourmet Abei. Same time same place. Looking forward to a beautiful variety that is "The Best of the Best". I... think of this restaurant (with it's very wide panoramic view of the Bodega Bay), as a 2nd home. Away. but very much within VeryHighly Regarded Cuisine of Wine Country. [What a gorgeous view of an open Bay with active waves, birds and it is just you andnature.] Going to try a mini-menu of most highly recommended items ala carte: (via John of the Boon Restaurant ). 1 Firegrilled Artichoke 2. Roasted Cauliflower 3. Ahi poke. (I am sure this literally just came off a fishing vessel minutes ago. 4. Adark lager beer- What's not to like? Gerald Butrimovitz Ph.D CFP-tm Read more
Absolutely fantastic food. The head chef Colin is amazing in the kitchen and the flat breads were outta this world. The oysters... were beyond fresh and flavorful. Clam chowder easily takes the cake as best in bodega! Friendly staff and a very warm welcomingenvironment. We will be back! Read more
Nice restaurant nestled away from the major crowds. Beautiful view outside and nice hosts. We ordered ceviche and mussels. The... flat bread that came with the ceviche itself was very good and overall both were good. The quantity of the mussels were reallygood for the price. Would definitely recommend. Ample parking space was available. Restroom was also very well maintained. Read more
They only loose one star on the food because they didn't have any dessert. The rest was a perfect 5 stars: excellent food, great... location, amazing view, and the most friendly staff we've seen in a long time! Keep it up and just add some desserts Read more
