We took on Alamere falls and it was a lot of fun. On the way back our car broke down and we stopped in the lovely town of Bolinas. Our first move was to try to find a mechanic. The locals pointed us to someone named Sean. We went to a bar to try to find him only for someone there to tell us he was in Richmond. I love that all the locals there knew this one mechanic. Eventually we called AAA to get the car towed and they came within an hour which was impressive Next on the agenda was to call an Uber to get us out of here. After roughly twelve attempts to call an Uber we found one. Our plan is to first Uber to Mill Valley and then try to catch something to S.F. While waiting we got some food here. The food was quite good. The fish tacos are very flavorful with excellent salsa. They had a robust menu of vegan options a the vegan chicken bowl is really good and ethically sourced to boot! If you are ever in Bolinas I highly recommend this restaurant!

Do not eat here. This place was just as bad as the place I visited in Wyoming…read more I ordered a taco salad. It said it had Pico de gallo. Since when is Pico de gallo just a few diced tomatoes? It said it came with beans. Which is something that would typically be in a taco salad at the bottom. Well, this one didn't. It had a few black beans sprinkled on top. Then the corn? Unsure about that but there were sprinkles of that. I had to pay for the guacamole. Okay, typical. Then onto the the protein. Typically, taco salads come with this but not at this place. They charge $5 extra for that and it wasnt very much. The "asada" was the tiny cubed type. You know the type you see in grocery stores? It tasted like meat that had been left in the fridge for a few days and reheated. So, if you like lettuce in a taco shell that has a few sprinkles of other things, then this $25 "taco" salad is for you. My 14 yr old is a better cook. We also ordered a bean a cheese burrito. He did say that was a kids burrito, so I said okay. I didn't know it was $12. The waffle fries were good. Someone we brought with us ordered those and shared. She said her other food item was dreadful. The other person said his food was not worth the $20ish he spent on his burrito either. We were hungry and didn't plan accordingly. Next time, we will. This place is your typical overpriced horrible food tourist trap place. Just come with food if you plan on visiting the beach. I feel bad for the people who actually live in this town and this is one of the veey limited options they have for eating out. Over the years, I haven't had one decent food place ranging from Stinson beach up to bodega bay. I'd gladly pay the prices if any of the food was actually good. This is about the food and not about the service. That's the 1 star because at least the staff was nice.

We stopped in for drinks and absolutely loved the atmosphere. They have a great selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, making it a wonderful place to relax after exploring nearby Muir Beach. The inn itself is full of charm and character. There are several cozy rooms and seating areas, each with its own unique feel. I especially loved the dark, old-world ambiance and the fact that they use real candles throughout the building, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere that is hard to find these days. Although we didn't stay overnight, we learned that the property also operates as a small hotel with a handful of guest rooms, which makes it even more special. I can easily imagine spending a weekend here. One thing dog owners should know: dogs are welcome on the outdoor patio if you're ordering food. If you're just stopping by for drinks, there are also a few benches on the lawn where you can sit with your dog and enjoy a beverage while admiring the beautiful cottage-style building and surrounding grounds. We did exactly that and loved it. Whether you're looking for lunch, a drink, a cozy place to unwind, or simply want to wander around and enjoy the unique setting, I highly recommend stopping by. It's a charming hidden gem just minutes from Muir Beach and one of the most memorable places we visited during our trip.

It was the Monday of MDW and we got seated indoors after only a 5 minute wait. The interior was equally charming with its dim lighting, taper candles, timbered ceilings, and impressive array of antique decor. It really felt like we were transported to an old English pub. Our cozy table was right next to the fireplace, which was delightful on a foggy day. For drinks, my partner and I both opted for the Guinness 0.0 (non-alc), which was very nice. For food, I ordered the Beef Wellington, which is something I'd always wanted to try. My partner went with the English Dip Sandwich, which our server had recommended. The Beef Wellington exceeded my expectations! It was perfectly medium rare and I loved the flakey pastry dough with mushroom filling. Although it was pricey, I think it was worth it. However, my partner was less excited about the English Dip. The sandwich was pretty mediocre and the horseradish flavor was entirely lost. Service was friendly and liesurely, which was fine since we weren't in a rush. I also took a peek at the (dog-friendly) patio, and it was beautiful - full of greenery and pink flowers. Overall, we had a nice experience at the The Pelican Inn! Would happily return to try more food items and enjoy the cozy ambiance.

Finally got up here for the viral Pancake Hike! While I love the concept, this was probably a…read moreone-time experience for me. We arrived at West Point Inn around 8:50 AM, 10 minutes before they even started serving pancakes, and the line was incredibly long. We were optimistic about how quickly it would move, and figured we'd probably wait an hour and half. Wrong! We didn't get our pancakes until 12:30 PM, so the wait ended up being 3.5 hours. Luckily, it was a beautiful day, but we were absolutely starving. I think their ordering system could've been a bit more efficient, since the menu options are so limited. They only have plain and blueberry pancakes (I chose blueberry) with a few sides, so having servers running the orders down seemed unnecessary. Cash and Venmo are accepted, but I recommend bringing cash because service up there is unreliable. The pancakes were pretty good, but my favorite part of the experience was easily the hummingbirds! They have several feeders up on the porch, and I'd never seen so many hummingbirds swarming at once. It was beautiful to watch, especially with the San Francisco skyline in the background. Overall, it's a wonderful event in theory, but not worth doing more than once.

The place has definitely seen better days - it did not look or smell like an establishment that charges almost $200/night to stay. No private bathrooms, and the one bathroom I used had a faucet fixture that had detached from the sink, with a handwritten sign indicating that the faucet needed to be held while using. The "lobby/main room area that you walk into from the main entry door is the living room of the proprietors, and is wall to wall stuff/junk. There was a ceramic bowl with a lid on it sitting on a side table that was covered in fruit flies and smelled like decomposing fruit. No breakfast at this bed and breakfast, however they have taped over the word "breakfast" on the signage out front. Likely the least expensive place to stay in the popular tourist town of Stinson Beach for very good reason...
