"This longtime Pt. Reyes Station stalwart is a reliable place to get breakfast, a burger, and a feta cheese-dressed salad with garlicky carrots and a side of eccentric popovers. The well-established outdoor garden is a splendor in good weather and the bar a true refuge in poor. Open all day, with live music on the weekends." - Paolo Bicchieri, Gretchen Giles

"After 34 years across the street, one of Point Reyes Station’s iconic restaurants recently moved back into the building where it got its start, with proprietor Sheryl Cahill and chef Aaron Wright still running the show. The flaky popovers remain a menu mainstay, as do oysters on the half shell and fried oysters. This is one of the few places that still serves hangtown fry, the Gold Rush era’s most expensive meal of oysters, bacon, and eggs (it was $6 then, an astronomical sum). Wright reimagined the dish as an omelet with fried oysters bacon and eggs. Look for it on the brunch menu." - Christina Mueller

Location of this restaurant is great. Very easy to find as it is on the main street of Point Reyes Station. We waited for 20 minutes to get our table. We ordered Garlic bread, veggie burger, clam chowder, beet salad, turkey sandwich. The garlic bread was fantastic and so was the turkey melt. Clam chowder was okay, not as creamy as Boudins of course. Beet salad was great. Veggie burger was disappointing. It was big but you had to pay extra $3 each for adding cheese , avocado etc. At least cheese should be included in a burger. The fries were excellent. Service was good. Our server was great. She apologized as our salad was missing walnuts and brought out some to munch on later. Overall, food was very pricey but good considering the location and very busy tourist spot. I will recommend this place.

Great vibes and best choice of restaurant in Point Reyes. Very friendly staff and host. Waitress was really sweet and walked through all options. Good place for Vegetarians too. Garlic bread is a must try

Really bummed about this one. We heard such good things and this one fell flat. The restaurant is right on the main street of Point Reyes Station so a great hustling and bustling spot. The food is where things went downhill. We ordered the bread basket of only popovers and requested that they please be brought out hot; the waitress said will do. They were brought out shortly after and they were barely warm. We were all hungry, so we ate them, but it seemed very weird that asking for hot popovers was blatantly ignored/dismissed. The turkey chili came out and it was not even warm, and the cornbread was so incredibly dense. The shrimp lettuce wraps had limited flavor and were super small. The Caesar salad with chicken was substantial with a large piece of protein so highly recommend that. At the end of our meal when sharing with the waitress that the chili came out cold, she sort of mocked us when we mentioned she should share with the kitchen that the soup came out cold (in no restaurant do you serve chili cold). It was a weird meal and we were so looking forward to our meal only to be extremely disappointed.

Loved the ambience, the food and the vibe of this awesome restaurant in this quaint little town. Had the avocado salmon toast that was superb. The family had the beef burger and an egg platter which were all delicious. Definitely a good place to land to have some amazing yum fresh food.

Wow this place is phenomenal. Walked in without a reservation during busy Sunday lunch and got a table for two right away. Food and beverage couldn’t have been better. The polenta was the most delicious thing I’ve had recently. Loved the space. Very loud when it’s crowded. Great service.

Loved the food at this modern eatery that was unpretentious and great. Lovely staff, tasty food, and casual yet chic atmosphere in small Point Reyes Station. Would def come back and recommend to friends.

A very cozy but not quite hole in the wall restaurant that specializes in sourcing food locally. I had the steelhead which was scrumptious and paired well with the mushrooms. Parking is a bit of a hassle, you might have to walk from the other side of town to get here on a busy night. The ambience was subdued but cheerful.

Stopped in for a quick lunch on a Friday. Service was attentive and the food was solid! I enjoyed the green curry mussels and the Rueben was pretty tasty. We saw a sign for live music so I can imagine it getting very loud and lovely.

We had dinner here on Father's Day. I really like the Station House but the food quality is uneven and inconsistent. Tonight, my New York steak special was probably the best meal I've ever had there. Everything on my plate was good and hot and had a lot of flavor. One of the best steaks I've had in a long time. The veggies were crunchy and the mashed potatoes were garlicy. Unfortunately, though, a couple of meals at our table were not so good. The duck risotto was too salty. I'm not sure what was going on with the burger but it had some unknown flavor that did not compliment it. We had a group of 7 and we stayed for about 2 hours. After about an hour and a half, it was clear to me that they wanted us to leave. Someone kept looking around the corner at our table. I didn't like that. It actually probably encouraged me to stay longer. Summary: the review of my food alone (New York steak) would have been 5 stars but my previous 4 star review down to 3 stars. A restaurant experience is more than one person's meal :)

First time in the new location and had a great food and service experience. Hadn't been here in well over a decade. Dropped in around 4pm midweek in off season and got seated right away. h Had a friendly and helpful server who gave solid advice on beverages and a helpful suggestion to adjust my food order so that I didn't over order. Had the popovers, clam chowder, shrimp lettuce cups, and pot de creme, as well as the apple non alcoholic concoction. All were very delicious. She checked back and brought more water as needed. About the new location: Of course it's a bummer they don't have an outdoor dining area in the new location. The new location has a grey color scheme and doesn't feel as warm and cozy as it could. The fixtures are fine but I'd lighten up the wall color because it feels very dark and a little claustrophobic if you aren't in the windowed side. I wish they'd hang their old sign outside instead of inside like it's a relic. Even if it doesn't "go" with the design vibe of the new location, they have a long history, and it would be nice to have that old sign hanging outside as an homage to the old PRS vibe that the Station House was a part of.

Mary, our server, was attentive and very sweet. Atmosphere was quaint and casual. I tried the Cucumber, Thyme, and Tonic Fizz ~ so refreshing! We started with Croquettes ~ warm Mac and Cheese with creamy, whipped Parmesan dip topped with shaved Parmesan ~ worth going for!!! Raw and Baked Oysters ~ fresh and delicious; our Entrees were SEARED STEELHEAD white bean ragout, baby kale, roasted peppers, Brussels sprouts & frisee ~Outstanding!!! Dessert was so scrumptious ~Chocolate Pudding with crunchy Chocolate Balls. Loved the sign over the kitchen door that changed messages every couple of minutes. Traveled from the East Bay and this was our second visit in a month.

The five percent surcharge actually makes it easier to compute the tip. Just multiply the surcharge by three! Five plus fifteen is still twenty. It will be nice when the true pricing law goes into effect.

This place was delicious!! Unassuming from the outside, but a well decorated and trendy establishment on the inside. The restaurant was bustling and a bit on the noisy side, and service was friendly. Was recommended the mussels from a waitress and I LOVED it. The Thai curry sauce it came with was delicious. Ended up ordering even more of the garlic bread it came with as well. I also shared a chicken Caesar salad as well that was pretty good! The croutons and dressing were ok but I liked that they gave whole lettuce leaves and the chicken was nicely seasoned. Got a dozen oysters and those were definitely a highlight. Super fresh oysters that we finished up pretty quickly. On the whole definitely recommend seafood here more than the other options! Was delicious

We had a wonderful dinner here on a Friday night. The service was fast and friendly. Cute decor and good ambiance. I understand they relocated recently across the street from the original location. The new location is great. We started with a half dozen broiled oysters in garlic butter. I usually have oysters raw but was intrigued by the garlic butter. The oysters were delicious. Half a dozen was perfect to share between two people. I ordered a bees knees cocktail and my partner his usually old fashion. Both were delicious and were served promptly. For my main, I went with the mussels in a green curry coconut sauce. I had never had mussels in curry but it is a brilliant idea over the usual garlic butter sauce. The mussels came with two hunks of charred bread that I gladly soaked in the leftover curry sauce. My partners waygu steak was cooked to the perfect temperature. The greens, potatoes and onions served alongside were also delicious. We ended with a lemon pot de crème that was baked making it more like the filling of a lemon pie. Delicious. Perfectly tart and a refreshing way to end a meal. I also tried a mint after dessert cocktail, which was surprisingly good. It was like drinking an Andes mint. Hands down the best restaurant in the small town of Point Reyes Station and the most upscale restaurant in the area. Service was really fast and professional. Prices were very reasonable compared to the Bay Area and quality was just as good.

I have always loved the drive to this wonderful Cafe. We decided to get in the car and just head to where our heart lead us. This path lead us to the beautiful Pt. Reyes Station and right to the Station House Cafe. Based on our experience when we dined here a few times when this was located across the street pre-pandemic, we knew it was going to be great. The last meal I based my positive memory on was a poached egg with polenta and blanched greens. In all my years of eating, I had never had polenta before. The creamy texture was one that I had never imagined loving so much and the greens were not soggy or undercooked, they were the perfect mouth feel. I asked for an over medium poached egg and that was cooked exactly to my liking. When we landed to our destination that beautiful sunny day, we ordered bloody Mary's, popovers, roasted corn, greens and polenta. Again, the polenta was so so delicious and reminiscent of our previous experience. I was looking for a small nibble and opted for the clam chowder. The soup was thick and full of potatoes and clam and it was not too thick and rich. Sometimes you will get a spoonful of sand, soup with no clam and only potato and even soup that is so thick your spoon will stand straight up in the air. This was none of those things. This soup was worth the extra calories. I had never had a popover, and honestly, the popover was good but not really something I would order again. My Hubs on the other hand, was glad to eat what I left on the plate. He will order it again for sure. I can't wait to go back to Station House Cafe and try something new. And maybe have another perfectly poured Bloody Mary.

Station House Cafe has such a welcoming and homey vibe. We came on a Saturday evening and the hostess was very quick to greet and get us seated. We ordered the fish and chips and the Station House burger. Both dishes were super tasty and fresh. The fish and chips weren't too greasy and the burger had fresh ingredients. The portions were also very filling. Would definitely recommend if you are the Point Reyes area!

After a fun day at Point Reyes, this was a good place for dinner! I had clam chowder and popovers / yorkshire pudding. OH GOSH THE POPOVERS! I finally had them and they were amazing here. They're huge but pretty much air inside. Toasty on the outside with soft pancake butter n egg flavor on the inside. Super fresh and fun to eat. Super glad I got 4 instead of 2. Clam chowder was great too! It was super generous with clams and potatoes. Maybe we hit lucky and got the bottom of the pot, but it was great.

This place is a hidden gem. We ordered the beet salad, mussels, and the linguini & clams. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. The mussels were my favorite. They were HUGE and in the most flavorful coconut curry broth. I can't wait to eat here again the next time we are in the area.

We had a terrible service at our table from a manager called Bill ! The food is good but expensive and the drinks are also expensive and tiny.

My wife had the popovers, green salad, and clam chowder, all of which she was pleased with. I had the green salad and fish sandwich. The fish sandwich was not satisfactory. Only a very small piece of fish and an oversized roll with lettuce and tomato. The way the sandwich was made it did not hold together and I ended up with a slimy mess. The service was lacking as the server had difficulty with English, did not follow instructions, and ended up bring my sandwich after the rest of the party was done eating.

The food at this place was great! We tried the clam spaghetti and it was seriously on point. And the seafood stew was pretty darn good too. I'm usually not a fan of super tomato-y cioppino, but this one was perfectly balanced. And let's talk about those garlic butter oysters - they were amazing! The best part was being able to enjoy the beautiful weather outside in their seating area. The food came out really quickly and the service was great as well.

Stopped in for lunch at Point Reyes after a long hike. I ordered the veggie burger with fries and a Piney the Elder, the local IPA of the Russian River! I have to say this burger had one of the best veggie patties I've tasted in such a long time, and the overall burger was delicious. Simple ingredients, great portion sizes (glad I didn't order the oh-so tempting cauliflower wings). The fries were somewhere between natural cut and shoe string, and oh so tasty! They were perfectly fluffy on the inside and just crisp enough on the outside. It's rare to get the burger and fries right, and Station House did a great job! Service was excellent, we sat at the bar and the bartender was so nice and hospitable. I hate ketchup with fries, so she found me bbq sauce for dipping (which I like to mix with buffalo) and also let me try their house made feta dressing - so good!

We had a wonderful dinner. Cocktails were good, oysters fresh as can be, our entree (mussels) were amazing!! All served with a smile. It was perfect and we are looking forward to going back.

I had lunch here with a group of friends on a weekday and there was no wait. On first impressions this place is extremely trendy and modern. I liked the sign that kept alternating between quotes and the population of the city. Onto the food: I opted for the clam chowder and pop overs. The clam chowder was quite bland even though there was bacon in it but I wouldn't recommend this dish. The popovers were very tasty and went well with the sweet butter on the side. They were so light and fluffy so I would recommend the baked goods here. One of my friends was surprised by the tiny size of the $16 beet salad but felt it was a good portion in the end. The nicoise salad looked like a good portion size but it should be given the price tag of $21. Overall I would get food here if in a bind as service was good but I did not feel the food was worth the price.

Visited this place during dinner without reservations and was told the wait was about 20 minutes however the bar was open which we chose. Was aware about the 3 star review however gave it a shot. Heard this place opened for a few months so it is most likely different than how it was before. Service: The service was excellent! Our waiter/bartender was full of personality and highly enthusiastic to everyone sitting. He was very attentive to serving everyone at the bar. Ambiance: The place was a full house and thriving. The interior was very modern and captivating. Food: The food was FANTASTIC! -Tomales Bay Oysters: Had options of either raw with mignonette or cooked with warm garlic butter. I ordered the raw and it was decent oysters. 7/10 -Croquettes: These were fried mac & cheese blocks with a side of cheese. Had a light flavor but was crispy on the outside. 7.5/10 -Linguini & Clams: It was tasty! Had a nice complex flavor coming from the wine and lemon. Had a little kick which is nice. 8.5/10 -Mary's Chicken: This was really good! Highly recommend it if you like flavorful chicken 9/10 Overall, would definitely come here again and recommend it to others. It is a bit pricey ($$$) however a high-quality meal as expected.

Very cool decor, great service and cocktails. Unfortunately, brunch was not great. The special sourdough French toast was just soggy. Wouldn't order the hangtown fry again either.

Was visiting and decided to grab a bite to eat as there really wasn't any other sit down restaurant open in the area. Menu looked promising, they quoted us 30-40mins but sat us down in about 10mins, so plus for that. My wife and I decided to try the clam chowder, flank steak salad and we ordered 1 mocktail, our bill was $80. I know the area is nice but dayuuuum $80 for what we ordered seems kind of crazy. The clam chowder was ok, not the best we've had and it needed a bit of salt. The salad was good but they only gave like 4 small pieces of flank steak and way more greens. The mocktail I thought was meh but my wife liked. Overall the food is just ok, but I think if you're spending a minimum of $80 I'd expect much better food. I'd try some other place close by if you can.

We had dinner at the Station House Cafe on New Year's Eve and it was absolutely marvelous. This was the first time I have been to their new location. The maitre d was extremely helpful in seating us close to the band in the "music room", which I appreciated very much, since the leader of the band was a personal friend. The popovers they serve are super delicious. My date really enjoyed the oysters and I loved the Steelhead trout.

Let me start by saying that the FOOD WAS GREAT! This is our 3rd time here and 1st time since the change of location. Dishes we ordered: STARTERS: beet salad, garlic bread, Croquettes, 1/2 dozen pacific oysters & clam chowder. ENTREES; Pork Chop, 2 Risotto's & Linguine & Clams. DESSERT: Blood Orange Sorbet, Brioche Bread Pudding and the Lime Meringue. All were delicious and presented well, compliments to the chef and BOH. DRINKS: Bad Liar (Non-Alcoholic Mezcal) really enjoyed it. Bees knees really well crafted. SERVICE: Our waitress was nice and everything was coursed well. THE BAD and the reason the restaurant is only getting 2 stars for now. The Story: We had already ordered and were enjoying the decor while we waited for our food and beverages. I turned to my right and I see a man with a collar pink shirt and blue pants approaching our table with 3 plates on his hands (our starters), arrives to our table doesn't addresses us at all, there wasn't a (PARDON MY REACH) while dropping the food, there was no (EXPLANATION OF WHAT WAS BEING DROPPED) ie; here is your beet salad, garlic bread etc. literally not a word said to us just drops the plates and turns around, leaves. We were surprised and thought ok maybe he's a new food runner and gave him the benefit of the doubt; but again he's not dressed like the rest of the FOH staff so it left us thinking. Our entrees arrive: Same person comes to deliver it, asks who ordered what, drops it and walks away. Note: there was no ENJOY or any acknowledgment again. Our desserts come: Same person with again no explanation of what was being dropped or anything; this time I ask: can you tell me what this is, because I didn't really know which was which. He said: oh you didn't order this? I said: "yes we ordered dessert but I don't know which one it which". I literally had not finished my sentence and he walks away. We were all looking at each other in disbelief. We decided to ask our waitress: who is the person running the food? Is he new? Our waitress tells us: "oh that's BILL our Manager". I don't think we couldn't have been more shocked that the person that we thought was straight up rude and had no hospitality training, was managing the place. To give a little more context, everyone around us was getting an ENJOY from him plus small talk. Were we just not the type of guests he wanted at the restaurant, for whatever reason I don't know. Let me finish by saying to you management reading this: and this comes from someone that worked in the hospitality industry for over 10 years. Lead by example, don't forget your hospitality 101's and your steps of service. Don't sideline guests by how they look, language they speak or just because you feel like it. Most importantly don't forget that your guests are what makes your restaurant thrive, you can have a great menu and location but if you forget to exercise hospitality you are forgetting the principles of running a restaurant and it's uphill from there. Best of luck and sorry that I can't give you more stars today.

It is a cute restaurant with a live music! Me and my friend tried this place after visiting Point Reyes. The ambiance is very nice. My friend ordered mushroom risotto - which she enjoyed. I decided to try veggie burger - and it was not the best choice, the burger was too dry and the veggie patty lacked flavor. The service was attentive and we got our order fast. I liked the ambiance, so I would definitely return when in the area.

Looks like a diner on the outside, but the food tastes like a gourmet restaurant. Started with a half dozen Tomales Bay oysters. They have the option for raw or baked with garlic butter. I chose the latter, but I think raw was probably better. Had to try the pop-overs since they have a big photo of them as you enter. Pretty good with the tasty, natural butter they came with. Beet salad didn't look like it had beets at first, but they were on the bottom. The green goddess dressing and crumbled feta cheese made this a tasty treat. The we had mussels in coconut broth and the pork chop with buttery, garlic polenta and swiss chard. All of this was super delicious. Our food took quite a long time to arrive, but once it did, the taste made our cares melt away.

We came here close to closing time on a weekend evening, and were immediately seated even though we had a party of 5. The service was very prompt and our waitress was the sweetest! We ordered the popper and bruschetta to start. We'd never had poppers before and were curious, and they were surprisingly really good. The bruschetta was also really good, and the tomatoes had an amazing flavor. However for the price point the portion was a bit small. We also got the Chicken Cesar salad. The portion was really large and they put a lot of chicken -- which is unusual as most restaurants skimp. For mains we got the pork chops, linguine with clams, and the vegetable pasta. The pork chops were amazing and they were very accommodating with some side substitutions. They were extremely generous with the clams on the linguine, which again is pretty rare. The vegetable pasta was pretty good, not many veggies, but still tasty. There weren't as many vegetarian options, so if you have a large vegetarian group this might not be the best place for you. Overall, we had a great time and loved the food.

We walked in on a Saturday around 2:30 PM and it was fairly busy! We were promptly seated outside and were asked for patience since there was only 1 person helping in that area. Overall I was slightly underwhelmed by the menu it didn't have as many healthy options as I'd like. Most salad had a blue cheese component which I'm not the biggest fan of. That being said, the oysters were fresh and good. The butter and bread was ridiculously good. The Buffalo cauli wings were also solid. I felt like the service was also good even given limited resources.

Everything about Station House Cafe was amazing! I had a reservation at 6:00 for18 and instead of splitting us up to three tables of six they were able to put us up next to each other. Everyone loved the food I had linguine and clams and it was over the top. My husband had the risotto with duck, and he loved it . The staff took really good care of us and the ambience was wonderful .Everyone in the Diablo Caravaners said they would definitely look forward to the next time.Thanks again!

Once in a while i get to actually contribute something vis-a-vis my reviews.....and this is it! The Station House Cafe has for me, one of my fave foods of all time, it's Hangtown Fry. I have been going here for probably 15 or more years. I have taken bazillions of friends here, or should I say "there", to it's former locale down the street. But now, it's transformed. In some ways, not for the better, but probably in some ways so. The old S-H Cafe had the most awesome outdoor venue in Pt Reyes Station, IMHO. The tables were huge and the area totally roomy and casual. The inside dining room was nice, but could get noisy. I loved loved loved sitting at the bar for my fry for hours along with a good book and great coffee. A few times I went to the bar, but not often. But the landlords jacked the lease crazy up and forced them out to it's new, way way way more formal setting, with no outdoor seating, no casual area, no old-school bar, like the former setting. The new site for SHC is more like a cool date-place with great food and a nice setting. With no outdoor seating, I feel pressured to not stroll in with my biking buddies and now I cannot bring my darling dog, Lola. It's a date-place, and I don't really need it, but SHC is just about being more formal, which is good for Pt Reyes Station, although not ideal for me. Good food, great service, good parking, great walking area.

Stopped here on a holiday weekend without a reservation. It was a 90-minute wait at lunch time. The town was buzzing with people. The menu selection is pretty average. Nothing special but you can find something basic to eat. Food was good. Service was prompt after the long wait. There were a lot of empty tables probably because of staffing shortages. The place is nicely appointed, and one of the best spots in town. They did a nice job with the remodel. Overall, worth a stop, but just get a reservation if you go during peak season. Point Reyes is not as sleepy as you might think. PS - They now charge a 5% wage fee on top of your meal. Wow. Avoid if you are not into that kind of thing.

Too bad Stellina is gone. Tried the new location of Station House. My companion had his service dog; two different people gave me a hard time: The dog is in the way, can't have any food or water ("you should know that". Really? Trying to shame me? How about: be happy YOU don't have a progressive neurological disorder.) Food was not great. Live Musicians was nice, but so loud we couldn't talk. Is this a music venue or an eatery? The decor is odd. The only plus was that our waitress was very nice.

Quaint restaurant at Point Reyes Station where my hubby and I had a delicious brunch. Great service, a bit rustic inside, and pricey. But, we especially loved the warm, tender popovers. The grits and greens were very satisfying with the addition of a perfectly gooey soft-boiled egg. And, finally, the halibut and chips were great: crispy, flakey fish and the tartar sauce was amazing. The coffee was really good, too, as was the cappuccino!

Hubby and I came for lunch on a Monday. He was excited to go here after reading other Yelp reviews. He was most excited for the fish and chips. When we arrived, it wasn't busy. We were greeted right away by the hostess. We chose to be seated outside on the patio area. We started with a few appetizers while we looked over the menu. We really enjoyed the fried oysters and the buffalo cauliflower. We also ordered the large order of the popovers. My hubby has made popovers in the past- so we were interested to compare his to restaurant ones. We were happy with the popovers- and plan to get popovers back into our rotation at home. We have more cheese and garlic with ours at home- but appreciate the ones here. We were getting full at this point- so we decided to share an order of the fish and chips. Glad we did. This was plenty of food. We each had a piece of fish. We both commented the halibut was perfectly prepared. The fries were very underwhelming. Fast food places serve tastier fries. These didn't appear to be seasoned. There was nothing special about these at all. We also weren't crazy about the coleslaw. Too much dressing- and also lacked flavor. They also tack on a 5% surcharge for employee benefits. Just up your prices a bit more. The prices here are already high. $14 for a kid burger It was also hard to get drink refills here. We had waters and ice tea. We would have liked to not have to ask to get refills. Also, dirty plates should be cleared away. We kept trying to push the plates farther away to make it more obvious. Especially when bees started landing on our plates. We would have enjoyed spending our time visiting with each other- and less time trying to draw attention to staff to refill beverages and clear dishes. Plenty of parking on a Monday afternoon

There was nothing we didn't love about this place! Our server was Amanda and she was fantastic. Personable and sold the menu well. We had fried oysters as an appetizer then the Philly, cauliflower wings, and beet salad for our meal. The food was phenomenal. Flavors were great and left us wanting more! The portion sizes were great as well. The cauliflower appetizer was so much bigger than expected! We had the bread pudding for dessert by recommendation of Amanda and it was super tasty. We'll be back!

Jan our waitress is so informative! She helped us navigate the menu! Will be returning soon! The wine selection was so great to choose from. The Pinot noir was to die for!

have been dining at the station house cafe since the mid 90s and 30 years later it continues to be a wonderful, worth the drive, dining experience! the shc team hit it out of the park with their (fairly) recent relocation to across the street; stylish/cozy/fresh new digs, including a beautiful bar, and the food continues to be great!

Ordered the polenta with braised greens with a side of flank steak. They asked how I wanted my steak - I said medium. Came out well done, they apologized, put in another order - well done again. I keep wanting to give this place a chance, but it consistently disappoints. New space is nice, but they simply cannot cook.

not a bad stop but not the most amazing either. food was decent and filling, but could've been better. veggie burger was grainier than normal, mac and cheese was pretty bland and had to add salt/pepper.

Rarely do I find myself reversing my reviews so drastically as I am about to do with The Station House. This time round, every dish was exquisitely prepared and tasty. Their service was personable and helpful. Everyone from the host at the front to the server made us feel at home and provided just the right guidance with the entree selection. The Reuben sandwich recommended truly hit the spot. The oysters on a half shell were fresh and perfectly chilled; perfect examples of oysters famous for this area. This time around the Clam Chowder was just what clam chowder is supposed to be, perfectly creamy without grit with ample pieces of clams complemented by cubes of potato. The Popovers were a hit once more. With everything else, they are dog friendly. Next time? Who needs to find a place to eat when The Station House is available.

Clean restaurant, fast service, wonderful bar. Try not to be seated in the back as it gets a bit noisy with the moving sign.

Really snazzy cool lunch place in Point Reyes Station. We ventured out here to visit the shores and get some fresh air and stopped over for a midday lunch. The outdoor patio provided shaded and relaxing seating... my mom, brother and I really felt unplugged from the world sitting and enjoying a meal together here. I had the philly cheesesteak with house cut potatoes and this amazing sauce, forgot the name of it. The waitress we had was very thoughtful and accommodating. She offered us bread as an appetizer which was soft and buttery bread. If you're going to visit Point Reyes, come here for food you won't be disappointed!!

Have you ever died and came back reborn. Well I have. After trying this absolutely astonishing establishment I was transformed into somebody else. The ability to be so incredibly scrumptious and being abled to consume this delightful meal in such an enlightening environment. The staff treats you like you are a part of a family, the station house family. I would do anything to eat here again, I literally mean anything. If I was on death row this would be my last meal. God bless this establishment they are beyond a 5 star.
