    Oysters
    Caly T.

    Glad to have a reservation for the weekend as it would've been an hour wait! Fyi this location has a smaller menu with less food options but a great stop for oysters from the source! - Dozen oysters split : fresh and delicious! - Barbecued oysters : served fresh off the grill, both the miso and chipotle flavors were great. Ordered side of bread to soak up any remaining butter.

    Service here is excellent!!! Their oysters were definitely fresh !!! Such a pretty place to have lunch at! They close at 4pm though ! Get here early if you can !!

    Got the 11am reservation and initially worried it was too early for oysters. It wasn't. It was perfect. The herb dressing was a bit too powerful on the herbaceous for me but the oysters raw and grilled were delicious. Do yourself a favor and order a variety. Can't wait to go back and sit outside in the sun and with that view! It makes for such a memorable afternoon.

    Had to try them before we took the picture.

    we went here through an excursion while traveling on the Ruby Princess. We arrived by boat and had not only an educational experience. It was also a delicious experience. We tried oysters combined with various sauces, and don't get me started on the grilled oysters... They were fabulous! The barkeep was so knowledgeable and nice along with the other staff that educated us on raising oysters and cooking oysters. I definitely recommend getting more oysters to eat while you're there you will never get them so fresh.

    Really can't beat a day out to Marshall and a visit here...oysters are excellent,staff is great and you are literally at the Oyster farm. Unfortunately grilling is no longer a thing but table service is definitely much nicer.. Booking in advance is pretty much mandatory...hard to get a table here for sure..you are literally sitting bay side and if your lucky you'll see the oysters coming in off the boat. Bring warm backup clothes even if good weather is predicted...the wind can come off the bay pretty good.

    4.5 Stars -- Where the Bay Meets Brilliance We decided to spend the weekend with our dear friends in Santa Rosa CA. I have been craving for raw oysters and they recommended this place. Freshness overload, plain and simple. Hog Island Oyster Co. delivers the kind of unpretentious excellence that makes you forget the daily grind You sit at rustic picnic tables overlooking the water, but what lands in front of you could rival any white-tablecloth restaurant in the city. Each oyster tastes like the ocean decided to tell you a secret--briny, bright, impossibly fresh. The BBQ oysters are smoky perfection, while the raw platter feels like a masterclass in minimalism. We decided in the chipotle grilled oysters and although I am always partial to raw this came close to changing my mind - it was rich buttery and spicy They don't have a real kitchen so no clam chowders - would have been nice since it was a chilly day. We also got the mussels escabeche and smokes albacore - delicious and subtly seasoned. We went on a Saturday and even though we came early working was a struggle - though worth it. The other challenge is the bathroom situation - not the cleanest A bit pricey but I guess for the quality and where it's at - it's worth it. It's the rare spot where simplicity and sophistication meet quietly, without trying too hard. Nothing feels forced, everything feels right. Come hungry, leave salt-kissed and happy.

    Decided to come here on a Saturday without reservations and even though we had to wait an hour, it was well worth the wait. Please make a reservation unless you don't mind waiting an hour, ALSO you will get turned away if there is no seating (several people after us got turned away). During our wait, we walked the grounds, explored their general store and sat and talked which was great because there is no service in the area, it gives a chance for people to connect. The hostess was very nice even though it was busy. He was very attentive and even took our order so we can get food even time for the kitchen closing instead of having us wait for a waiter. We ordered the cheeseboard, bourbon butter oysters, and the miso oysters. All were great, although I may skip the miso oysters next time to try some raw ones with their mignonette. Wine was also great. They had a really good selection. This would be a beautiful place to come during the summer since it's right off the water and just the drive there was so scenic. It can get busy there so we parked on the side of the road but from what I can see there is plenty of parking. Lastly, they sell oysters at the general store sooo if you don't want to wait if you didn't make reservations. There's a table right in front of the store and you can shuck away!

    We hadn't been to the oyster bar attached to the farm location of Hog Island Oyster for several years, and it looks like they're expanded the space. After going on a tour of the farm, we decided to get some more oysters at the bar. The chipotle butter oysters were piping hot and perfectly seasoned with a sweet earthy flavor. We also ordered a cold cut board and a cheese board for two people. The boards were a good size and we had some leftovers to take home. While the bar had more limited offerings compared to the SF ferry building location, the outdoor seating and views of Tomales Bay and farm are unbeatable.

    I wanted to get good quality oysters right from the source since I've had the oysters in SF. They do have a dine in option where you can eat the oysters but there is a wait. I got 2 dozen oysters and shucked them myself. Got the Kumamoto and the sweet water. Flavor profile for both the sweetwater and kumamoto are fresh and salty. Meat was very soft and firm. Definitely a fun activity to do or to enjoy at a picnic near a beach. Warning: Parking is pretty difficult to find. I'll definitely be back here again to grab some oysters if I'm in the area

    Make a reservation. Even if it's a random weekday... make the reservation! We drove 2 hours out eat here. Parking lot is VERY small, so we ended up parking down the road and walking. We were very fortunate to be able to get seating after a 20 minute wait, so.... for future reference, make the reservation! I have to say, those grilled oysters changed my life. Bless Hog Island for sharing their BBQ Chipotle Bourbon butter recipe online. I'm waiting to tell my friends this is what I want for my birthday. Everything was fresh, no complaints! It was worth the 2 hour drive and some car sickness.

    if you're just picking up please MAKE sure you check your TOTAL BEFORE signing. briefly...went for a drive and stopped by to pick up some s. it got a little busy as i was paying and wanted to be considerate and not take too long paying. MY mistake/error. Didn't know about the "wellness fee" and apparently a 22% tip was automatically picked for me. Yes, I SHOULD HAVE checked before signing. I just find it a little much to even "suggest" a 22% tip automatically for PICK UP. going to have to put a lot of hot sauce, garlic butter, or mignonette just to get the bad taste out . prob won't be back for a long time...if ever. i used to make this place a mandatory stop.

    BBQ Oysters
    William S.

    Oysters here are incredibly fresh and flavorful -- some of the best I've ever had. They offer a great deal on oysters to-go, which I'd definitely recommend. Both the raw and BBQ are worth trying; the hogwash pairs perfectly with the oysters' natural salinity. The shareable plates were also excellent, making for a light but satisfying meal. Staff were super friendly. We visited on a reservation-required day -- highly recommended for those traveling from afar, though walk-ins can work if you arrive early. We got there at 11:00 AM on a Sunday and snagged a table just before the place filled up. The location is beautiful, right next to Tomales Bay, and I'll definitely grab oysters to take home next time.

    Grilled oysters were so good!
    Mar H.

    We haven't been here since before Covid. I'm glad they're still here but sad that they removed the BBQ grills. We had two orders of the grilled oysters - they were sooooo good! The day we went, there was freshly baked sourdough bread that was to die for. It was windy and raining when we went but they still had several tables of people enjoying the oysters. Thankful for the enclosed dining area. The winds were crazy.

    Ask the Community - Hog Island Oyster

    What's the restroom situation for The Boat?

    We have two gender neutral restrooms for guests to use - one has the urinal + toilet and the other has the changing table. There are also honey buckets on site if the restroom line is too long.

    I have a reservation for the boat. Can we buy bulk oysters and BBQ with that? Or is it just the restaurant?

    It is just the restaurant. There is a separate area for buying to-go orders. My understanding is you used to be able to eat on the grounds outside with a to-go order, but not now.

    I'm heading up this weekend and wanted to get some oysters and mussels to go so you do that? And do you take pre orders online? Was gonna head up this Sunday

    Hi Brian, The Retail window is open 7 days a week 9am-5pm offering live un-shucked shellfish to… 

    We'll be in the area on Sunday. Since reservations are all booked, do they offer takeout?…

    Hi Rob! Yes they do have take out. There was a separate line for takeout. There might also be an online offering system as well but I'm not 100% sure.

    Since only take out is available at this time, are the oysters packed in ice? Is hog wash offered to go as well?

    Yes. We will pack the oysters on ice. We sell 7lb bags of ice as well. We are offering Hog Wash to go as well.

    Are we still able to bring our own alcohol?

    Nope! No BYOB during this time.

    Since they serve to go order only, is there any picnic area that open around there? Thanks.

    The Point Reyes Seashore has a plethora of beaches and parks. Visit the park headquarters at Bear Valley visitor center. Dillon Beach is 10 miles North. Bodega Bay is 20 miles North.

    Do I need to bring the glove to cut open the oyster? Or the farm will open them for you?

    At this time we are offering Oysters to go. All oysters are Live in the Shell. We sell gloves and Shucking knives. If you want Shucked Oysters, visit us at Tony's Seafood just one mile South of the Farm and we will do all the work for you.

    Trying to make a reservation for the Tomales Bay location, post COVID-19 re-opening, and not having any luck. Online reservation system doesn't seem to work, and cannot reach anyone by phone. Any suggestions?

    Hi Andrea M. Our outdoor cafe, The Boat Oyster Bar has just reopened for outdoor dining on the weekends, Friday, Saturday + Sunday. You can make reservations through our website, via the OpenTable widget here:… 

    Do you need to bring your own gloves and shucking knife?

    Hog Island provides rental Shucking knives and gloves. They are included in the $5 per person picnic fee along with lemons, hot sauce, and Hog Wash.

    How far in advance can I make a reservation?

    I make my reservation one week before and got my table.

    Is it warm enough to go in January? Do they have heaters?

    Yes. They do but I recommend reservations.

    Is it BYOB?

    Bring your own booze, bottle, beverage...

    Can we bring our dog here?

    Yep. A lot of people brought their dogs

    What happens if it's raining on the day of my reservation?

    The setup is outside. Here is the answer from their website. We are open rain or shine. It's up to you to decide what is too wet or cold for you. Please cancel your… 

    Do they allow dogs at the picnic tables?

    Yes, they do! My friends brought their dog there that day and it was just fine. Enjoy!

    Hey guys, has anyone experienced live worms in oyster? It's small and red , are they harmful?

    Periodically other sea life can make their way into your oyster. At times there a small bay shrimp that look a lot like a worm or even small millipede-like creatures. The little red worms are not harmful though at times they can be unappetizing,…

We waited about 10 minutes to receive our drinks and another 15 minutes after that to get the oysters. Several minutes after that, our main dishes arrived. No one really checked on us, refilled our waters or asked us if we needed anything. I finished my drink and would have gotten a 2nd if the waiter had bothered to ask. The waiter also left the empty oyster tray on the table, ice melting leaving a mess. I had to ask him to take it away although that is common sense for a seafood server. We ordered another round of oysters and after that I was really ready to go. Good food. Amazing view and location. Horrible service.

Unlike Hog Island, you generally don't need a reservation to get in, but you might need to wait a bit for a table. There is seating both in the upper area next to Highway 1, or in the back area of the restaurant, closer to the water. Both are perfectly nice to sit at. Depending on where you end up, you may be completely unshielded from the sun, so hats and sunscreen are a must. The food is delicious. Everything is always fresh and local. Raw Tomales Bay oysters, BBQ'ed oysters, various seafood dishes, sandwiches, cheeses, and crab when it's in season. Speaking of crab - a bit of a tangent story here - about five years ago during a weekend in Pt. Reyes, I indulged heavily in crab as well as other shellfish, and quickly developed a severe allergic reaction where my face swelled up beyond recognition. It took a couple of months for the swelling to fully subside. Subsequently, I was diagnosed with a shellfish allergy, which I'm certain was a misdiagnosis (wouldn't be the first time) because I've continued eating shellfish per usual since with no further issues. I believe that particular season there was something with the algae or something else in the water that provoked such a severe reaction. To be safe, I now carry an epi pen, but have thankfully never needed it. And you best believe next time they have crab, we'll be ordering a couple, lol. Anyway, The Marshall Store is a terrific stop along Highway 1. Be sure to check it out when in the area. Enjoy!

We eventually arrived there around 12:45 PM. Spud Point is a cute little shack right across from the harbor, but the parking is terrible so keep that in mind. We waited in line for about 5 minutes and ordered two clam chowder soups which were $9.99 each, one crab sandwich which was $21.98 and one seafood sandwich which was $19.99. Menu is pretty limited and no fish and chips. They immediately provided the food so I assume they were pre-prepared in the back and you could see the pots of soup boiling outside. We brought our dog as there are only outdoor picnic tables to sit at, but there seemed to always be a spot open. There were also benches across the street overlooking the bay where you could hear the harbor seals barking, to view the fishing boats. The clam chowder was very good, one of the best I've ever, had not too thick with a lot of cut up smaller clams and a bacon flavor. There's only one size which could be split with two people, and we still have leftovers. The sandwiches on the other hand are incredibly small and served on almost a hot dog looking bun. You definitely need one for each person as it would be too small to split. I am used to the crab sandwiches at Nick's Rockaway in Pacifica, which are absolutely delicious and feed two people for about $42. The crab sandwich (1/8 lb) here was very fresh and the seafood sandwich (1/4 lb half bay shrimp and 1/4 lb half crab) was also very good. I believe the owner has his own fishing boat and he catches the seafood and fish daily as there was also halibut for sale in market shelf. Weather was cold and foggy as is normal in Bodega Bay. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone if you were in the area, but I would try either Fisherman's Cove or Ginocchio's next time for the crab sandwich if you wanted something more hearty.

Came on a Saturday evening and wait time was about 15-20 minutes. You find your own table and wait to hear them call out your name for the order. I also liked that when you order a drink, you can pay $3 extra to keep a souvenir cup (and you can even request a new unused cup at the end too! So you don't have to worry about taking home a cup with remnants of beer or other beverages inside). The sauce bar has 5 different sauces, but my favorite was the Maui Wowie. I thought they all complemented the fish and chips really well! We got kale slaw instead of chips as the side, and it was a nice refreshing side to have -- it really cuts through the greasiness from the fry! I thoroughly enjoyed everything we tried: clam chowder, fried fish, and crab sandwich. There's definitely other things on the menu I'd like to try as well! I also love all the merch they have inside. Hats, towels, aprons, shirts, etc...the design team really creates great designs! I went home with a tshirt and some magnets, along with a "fish dad" hat as a gift. As a pro tip, if you stay nearby at Hotel Dega, it's walkable distance and then you don't need to worry about parking!

The filling is sweet enough, not too dry, and the croissant itself is incredibly crispy. The coffee is fresh and delicious too. We also tried the vanilla sugar cookie, and it was really good! Definitely give it a try--you're gonna love it!

    Great little coffee shop and bakery in Tomales, right on CA-1, the Pacific Coast Highway. We needed…read moreto recharge for another day of our Pt. Reyes getaway, so we hit this spot, a short walk from our Airbnb. First and foremost, great service. The folks working there were genuinely friendly, attentive, and helpful. There was also a gentleman there as a customer, I believe he was related to one of the employees, who was so sweet and helpful with getting the door for us and helping us get a place to sit, as we juggled our ordered items and wandered around in a bit of a stupor before we had had our coffee. Thank you, good sir. I am still genuinely amazed at how nice people are in these small, off-the-beaten-path towns, as opposed to in the overpacked rat cage urban areas. Popular spot, with a good number of bicyclists, passers-through, and locals coming in for coffee and eats. They have an impressive selection of pastries and sandwiches, and I really wish I had tried the veggie croissant which looked great. We got coffees and shared a slice of quiche. I got my usual iced coffee, and happily, they had oat milk to go with it. After we paid, we realized they also have momos, so you know we had to get a round. We left happy, awake, and ready for another day.
