"Perched over Tomales Bay, this renovated waterside inn and restaurant is built from old fishermen’s shacks and is prized for its sunset deck dining and peaceful, bay-front atmosphere. Guests routinely savor a dozen raw oysters and rosé while watching the bay turn golden and listening to waves lap the piers below; the site’s dramatic setting is underscored by the San Andreas Fault running beneath the water. On the menu, smoked black cod (prepared over Pinot Noir barrel shavings) and a richly flavored cioppino are standout items, and staying in one of the over-water cottages with a private deck is a highly recommended way to experience the place." - Ray Isle
