I’ve always passed by while heading up to Tomales Point or on my way back home, but so glad I stopped in after a recent hike for a bite of great seafood and wine. Got the broiled oysters with fermented Fresno chi, garlic and butter and a beautiful Manila clam chowder with a side of bread for sopping up all the liquid. Well curated wine selection, had the rose and orange wine. Both refreshing.

Oh man, that lemon butter?? amazing on the fresh-caught oysters. I highly recommend getting at least 3 for yourself, or a dozen. Fish sandwich was really fresh, came on an amazing bun, but was under seasoned and dry with all the bread. Add some sauce and an acid element and it’ll be a home run. The service and oysters were incredible so it’s still a 5 star place. Great beverage selection too. If you’re in the area, definitely check it out.

The food at this restaurant has moved me to tears on more than one occasion. The food is local and *very* fresh—and always prepared artfully and deliciously (this describes everything from the produce to the seafood). My partner describes the food as “flawless.” It’s a truly special restaurant that would be among the best in any big city, but it’s located here in Inverness.

Excellent experience. The broiled oysters 3 ways were tasty – and just the right size (really don’t like those ginormous ones you sometimes get). Everything was great, but the standout was the salad with roasted carrot, dates, almonds, and ricotta. Literally might be the best thing I’ve eaten.

Pre-fixed menu, a place you want them making the decisions for you. After a sampler of fresh local oysters, we were presented with the brown butter sage handmade pasta and steak with cilantro sauce. Finished off with an almond brittle with white wine pear and vanilla ice cream.

Delightful and delicious! Very fresh and nice oysters from tomale bay. Toast was great, and bouillabaisse was amazing, but most impressive was clam chowder. It’s not your regular, but real clams delowder

I’m not usually a fan of oysters but this place changed my mind! Came here after hiking at point Reyes and I was quite tired actually so getting the raw and broiled oysters was just the perfect refreshing snack we needed. Not to mention that the service was so so fast (1 minute??) and the food was so fresh. Definitely recommend. Cute outdoor dining too!

Had wonderful food. Oysters were fresh. I recommend the broiled oysters w/Katz butter was delicious! There are picnic tables you eat at right next door, but they have outdoor/indoor seating. We ordered take out and took it to the park and had a great lunch. The park was very pet friendly if you have pets. Great service, food comes out fairly quickly. Friendly staff!

This place is spectacular and I would highly recommend it. Love how clean and fresh everything is, our waitress was very attentive and friendly, and the food was delicious. I would recommend getting an order of bread to start. It is definitely homemade and yummy. You are able to order 3 different types of oysters individually instead of ordering a dozen of them which makes it more affordable. The salmon and steak were very tasty.
