    Our service, Debbie was superbly attentive and casually conversational. Our meals were delicious, delightful. I had the steak and my companion had the crab cake and both were superb. I love casual elegance and feeling the love with which the food was prepared and served. Will definitely return as I travel from inland frequently. Wish I had known sooner that this is such a lovely spot!

    An absolute must for dining in this area. The inside is quaint but cute. The service is outstanding and the food was incredible. My wife and I had an amazing experience at Terrapin Creek and will no doubt go back when we are in Bodega Bay again. Highly recommended!

    Food was excellent! Highly recommend. We were traveling from Georgia and had to make reservations blindly. I hope we can have dinner here again one day!

    We have eaten here several times over the years, and it has always been outstanding. Last night’s dinner may have been the best ever. Perfect dirty vodka martini to start… The hamachi crudo has changed a little over the years but it still one of the most divine things I have ever eaten. The scallops were, too: perfectly cooked, with impeccable greens, snap peas, radishes, shaved fennel, mushrooms, and several amazing sauces. Divine! My husband’s salad was equally fabulous, as was his duck breast: very generous serving, perfectly cooked—and he said the vegetable side was the star of the show! For dessert, he had a sublime bread pudding, and I had a panna cotta that was smooth and silky with an intense strawberry topping. Service was personable and very good, and we had delightful diners on either side of us. A perfect dining experience. Will look forward to continue coming here hopefully for years to come.
