The Birds Cafe

As others have said, ocean views and outdoor seating! What can be wrong there?
On to the grub.
Best thing we’ve had here are the addicting artichoke fritters. Order them, even if you don’t order anything else. Onion rings - excellent.
The fish and chips were cooked perfect but very bland, they need some fresh herbs/parsley/tarragon/chives - just something! And the clam chowder could use some too, instead of the peppery flavor that kinda obliterated the clam taste.
Overall - we will be back, if only for the artichoke!

Great little outside eatery! This place has a wonderful view with casual dining. You just walk up to the window make your order and they bring it to you on their nice outside patio. You can eat your lunch as you look out over the bay. Prices are affordable what’s the score be a good spot to take families they are also dog friendly

We returned to have a lunch at this place twice, which basically shows how good the place is.
BBQ oysters were delicious, especially given I don’t eat raw sea-food. Lobster roll was simply fantastic, can compete with lobster rolls in Maine, the dressing was so thoughtfully done, I can give this place 10 stars, if the rating would allow. Fish and chips were also good and fresh.

Traveling up the coast of California and stopped at the The Birds Cafe for lunch. Yummy food! I ordered the clam chowder; delicious and a very hefty portion! My hubby ordered the fish & chips. He loved it and stated the fish was fresh! We ate on site on their deck overlooking the bay. Wait time for food was great and everything was very clean. Friendly staff. On our next trip to this area we will definitely visit The Birds Cafe again.

Literally, every single thing was so fresh and delicious!
It was a little nippy outside, so we were thankful that they provided an indoor option for dining.
If ever in the area, we will definitely return.

My son and I stopped her on our way home from the beach to get a quick bite. The outdoor seating area was very nice and the food was really good. I had the fish tacos which were topped with lots of fresh ingredients. They were very tasty but felt like there was more batter than fish. Good corndog and fries!

We come here every time we visit Bodega. We should probably venture to more places but they honestly have the best fried fish and tartar sauce!

The view from the dining area is amazing too as seen in the photo. I wish I had more photos of the food but we dig in once we get our food. It's too good to resist even for a moment! I highly recommend this place! Also, a fan of Hitchcock so why not?

The views are great. Customer service was good. The oysters were very small and everything on the menu appeared to be deep fried. We oysters, fish tacos and shrimp tacos.... the fish and shrimp were battered and fried stuffed into this healthy taco with a very tasty aoli. Wish they would have left the fish and shrimp unfried as it would have tasted so much better ( not so oily) and showcased what seafood offerings Bodega bay has to offer. There was also no crab on the menu and they do catch crab in that area so a bit disappointing. They do have Lobster rolls but I do not know if those are also fried. The wine and beer selection was good. The prices are a bit high for what you get.

Great oysters and fried artichokes! Food was fresh and really tasty. Oysters I had that day we're very good. They serve mignonnette on the side. Could be cheaper, especially drinks options. ($7 for a can Tecate) I get that it's in that kind of location to upcharge with the view, I suppose.

I went for a coffee. I did not enjoy the drink that was served, a Cafe Americano, not sure if it was the drink or me. The counter help was perfunctory, the server was pleasant. Be sure to repeat your order back. The view was nice, outdoor seating.
