Terrapin Creek

Excellent meal!
The staff are all gracious in this house converted into a restaurant. Warm ambiance in a California casual setting set the tone for an unpretentious experience with very well thought out menu.
We had the Hamachi Krudo to start, very clean fish melted in our mouths balanced with Pesto and radish.
Beautiful Moscow mules came out and we enjoyed them with the clam pasta, sea bass, and duck breast entrees.
The favors are balanced and well executed, crispy duck fat on the duck dish, lovely sear on the seabass, as well as just the right spice with the chorizo clam pasta dish.
The desserts were not too sweet or rich with a delicate balance of flavors.
We had the coconut Panna cotta, the apple bread pudding, and the creme friache cheesecake.
All were well presented with subtle flavors.
I personally like richer desserts, but in the end the chefs approach left us all satisfied.
Thank you chef and staff, very well done!

Every time my wife and I stay in Bodega we go to Terrapin! Their food is amazing and the staff is always very nice! You have to try the Dungeness crab rague. Wow!

Subtle flavors combing to form a sublime experience. The scallop appitizer and lamb pasta, both fantastic. The duck, cooked to perfection, the skin crisped just right. Every dessert, delicious. A can't-miss find in low-key Bodega.

What a gem. The service and food were impeccable. The wine was the best value I have experienced in a restaurant.

Great experience with scrumptious food. The presentation and atmosphere was exceptionally wonderful. We will return.

We heard that Terrapin Creek was a must eat in Bodega Bay and we were not disappointed! The service was great, I asked the server for a wine recommendation based on my entree order and she brought me a fantastic glass. My ribeye was cooked perfectly and the potatoes, mushrooms and broccoli was a lovely pairing. We both got dessert, after both enjoying the steak, chocolate cake and the panna cotta, and both were fantastic!

Goodness! Delicious. Obvious they source food well and prepare it well. Had the quail and halibut. Very flavorful, and the homemade pasta is exquisite. Pumpkin cheesecake also amazing. Recommend it to any who want to try a new place

The food was great, but the atmosphere is very bourgeois; unless you are prepared for this kind of an atmosphere (which was uncomfortable), I would not attend. On the note of food though, it was worth the try. The meat and fish is done very well and seasoned quite well. Chefs, keep up the good work. A side note, this was done during an art event weekend; this may have contributed, but I am not sure.

Visited twice with my tennis friend. I would love to visit here again and again.
I love bodega bay and this excellent dishes..

Having never been to Terrapin Creek before, I was unsure what to expect. And was completely blown away. I am an ardent foodie and fine cook myself, but the quality of the dishes we had was extraordinary. Among the highlights were a phenomenal kabocha squash soup graced with toasted sage oil, an exquisite fish chowder, and a truly wonderful coconut panna cotta with an incredibly tasty passion fruit syrup. This meal was far better than the last time I went to the French Laundry. My highest recommendations! Bravo!
