"It’s difficult to tell a tale of Marin oysters and seafood culture without tipping over into coastal Sonoma where many boats harbor and offload their goods. This restaurant inside Bodega Bay Lodge has gorgeous views over the bay, and the full lunch and dinner menus are available at both it and the adjacent fireside lounge. A platter of chilled oysters with Champagne mignonette and grilled lemon feels celebratory with a bottle of local bubbles from Schramsberg. Baked oysters are plumped up with chorizo and Estero Gold cheese from nearby Valley Ford Cheese & Creamery. Is it already time to watch the sun go down?" - Christina Mueller
