We went for an early evening dinner and sat at a window facing the bay. The views are incredible. The service, not so much. We were sat immediately then waited over 7 minutes to be acknowledged and get water while people who came in after us were served. When our order was finally taken- fresh oysters, a beer, a spritzer a couple fish & chips and a Caesar salad, we once again watched those who were seated after us get their drinks and food before us. 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. read more

Tony's is a lovely spot to stop for lunch if you're in the area. Pro tip: make a reservation and request to sit outside to enjoy the view! Oyster Bar Mix -- a fun way to try a bunch of different fresh oysters. They were a bit expensive but worth every penny! Clam chowder -- it's not your typical clam chowder bowl. It was on the brothy side and included the clam shells with big chunks of potatoes. It was super fresh and light! Fish & chips -- sadly I've had better in my life. The batter was a bit dense but the chips made up for it. They were fried perfectly. Service was lovely and they were all very knowledgeable. read more

Before I write anything else, get the chipotle bourbon butter grilled oysters. Get dozens of them if you can. It's literally the best thing I've eaten this year so far. The vibe is cool, right on PCH so almost anywhere you sit you can see the bay. Parking is a little tough, they have a small strip of parking out front. We got lucky and grabbed a spot as someone left, but there were cars waiting around. Definitely make a reservation, especially on a weekend. The food was a 10/10. Service was okay, they were friendly but they didn't seem to check on any of the tables much in general, water cups sitting empty, etc. Still a 5-star experience for the food and the vibes. We got a half dozen of the Hog Island Highwater raw oysters and a half dozen of the chipotle bourbon butter grilled oysters. Oh my gosh. The Highwaters were great, but the grilled oysters were absolutely the star of the show - garlicky, buttery, massive oysters. My husband and I were literally fighting over scraps. Fish and chips were solid, nice crispy batter on the fish, and the grilled zucchini was great as well. I will absolutely be back. read more

A long overdue getaway motorcycle ride up Hwy 1 and I knew I needed an oyster stop. Heard good things about this place as a sister to Hog Island Oyster Co so needed to check it out. Begin with a Bloody Mary. Quite nice...loved the seasoning. Dozen oysters, mixed variety...a taste of the ocean. Then Seafood Stew...everything cioppino without the crab. Absolutely packed full of seafood. A wonderful indulgence. Nothing's cheap, you get what you pay for, and this was worth the ride and every penny. read more

The Highlights: 1. Oyster Shooters: Phenomenal flavor profile. The Bloody Mary mix is delicious, and adding their signature hot sauce gives it the perfect kick. 2. Grilled Oysters: We ordered a mix of the miso nori and chipotle bourbon. Both were excellent, but the chipotle bourbon was the clear standout. 3. Drink Pairing: The clam chowder paired perfectly with the Hog Island Oyster white wine. Atmosphere: We sat outside with our dog, and the view of Tomales Bay is absolutely beautiful. The Details: Service: Solid and friendly. Food Note: While the fish taco was perfectly fine, it didn't quite reach the same high bar as the incredible oysters. Pro-Tip: Make a reservation! I am so glad I did. This place gets busy, especially on weekends and holidays. Without a reservation, expect a wait of about 1.5 hours. Pet-Friendly: A great spot if you are traveling with your dog; the outdoor seating is very accommodating. Overall, a great experience. We will definitely be back for more! read more

Go Shuck Yourself First established in 1948 by Croatian fisherman Anton "Tony" Konatich, Tony's is a legendary spot in the quiet seaside town of Marshall. It served up some of the freshest seafood and oysters around until 2017, when it closed due to the owners wanting to retire. Fortunately, nearby Hog Island Oyster Co. saw an opportunity to buy them out and keep this historic restaurant going for future generations. The gamble paid off, as Tony's was awarded Michelin Guide "Recommended" recognition in 2021 and every year thereafter. The Good: * Reservations via Resy * Outdoor seating * Great harbor views from any seat in the house * Fantastic service from "Kyle R." We started chatting about oysters, and when the subject of Carissa being a raw oyster virgin came up, he wasn't having any of that. He quickly brought us two complimentary raw oysters with escabeche sauce to try. Now that's customer service! * Local brews on tap, though not a huge selection. * Speaking of oysters, the grilled oysters with miso-nori butter were absolutely fantastic. So much umami flavor that I could've eaten a bucket of them. * The seafood stew (basically a cioppino) was absolutely packed with goodness and featured a rich, delicious tomato broth. The perfect dish for the cold, damp weather common here. * The buttermilk panna cotta dessert was absolutely fantastic. The custard was smooth and elegant, and I loved the added crunch of the granola and sweet pops of fruit from the fresh blackberries. Simple, but executed perfectly. The Meh: * Cell phone reception is spotty at best in this area, so make sure you set your navigation before you start driving over * Fish tacos were just OK. Probably not the thing to get here, but they were edible The Ugly: * Parking is kind of a shit show. There are a few spots in front of the restaurant, but you'll most likely have to park along the shoulder of the highway a bit farther down Conclusion: Tony's is one of those hidden gems that fits the description to a "T." If you're a lover of seafood, great service, and ocean views, this place is a must. read more

Tony's Seafood, nestled beside Tomales Bay in the tiny Northern California hamlet of Marshall, is the kind of place where a lazy Sunday can feel like a proper seaside escape. The restaurant's menu pivots on the tides--oysters shucked to order, clams plucked from the same waters, and pastas that arrive as both comfort and celebration. On a recent visit, the food was excellent, with the singular misstep of the clam chowder that did little to dampen an otherwise great meal. Tony's oysters, served on the half shell with a squeeze of lemon and a brisk walk along the water, are the star of the operation. The meat is briny but clean, with a crisp sweetness that speaks to careful stewardship of the bay. Whether eaten straight or with a whisper of mignonette, they possess the sort of effortless elegance that makes you forget you're in a casual, no‑frills dining room. The clams and bucatini, another menu highlight, combine plump, well‑cooked shellfish with stubby, toothsome strands of pasta in a light, shell‑infused broth that feels more like a seaside celebration than a gut‑bomb of cream and butter. The dish is both comforting and refined, letting the iodine‑tinged sweetness of the clams take center stage. The clam chowder, a house signature, arrives with plenty of fresh Manila clams and a dedicated gluten‑free preparation, but its texture--was thin without the clam brine seeping through. Tony's charms stem as much from its setting as its plate: a low‑slung structure by the water, speckled with live music on Sundays and the kind of easygoing service that suits a place where people come to linger. For all its modesty, the restaurant delivers something that feels like a small revelation: seafood that tastes like the bay that produced it, ideal for a day trip from the Bay Area where the drive is half the pleasure and the oyster another. read more

Out for a drive taking in the local sites and enjoying the fresh air and wonderful views of the Tomales Bay. Wanting to try the local cuisine so we stopped in to Tony's, great spot on the water with wonderful views of the Bay we were seated inside in a simply decorated nautical style dining room. All the seating outside on the deck was taken by frankly the view from our counter seating was fantastic. Naomi was our server and she was friendly happy and full of spunk such a pleasure. We tried the Bloody Marys without Vodka and they were amazing, great house made mix and you could not tell that there was not a drop of Vodka in it. Great flavor and interestingly prepared. We enjoyed the local oysters fresh and very tasty followed by a bowl of the chowder, light broth not like the heavy stew type chowders you find. Butter and creamy broth with fresh clams and vegetables. Seasoned with herbs this chowder was a delizioso bowl of goodness. Tony's was a good stop to enjoy the views and the local seafood of Tomales Bay. Well done Tony's Seafood a great presentation of the local cuisine. Bravissimo read more

This is a must visit place for me when I am in the bat area. The oysters are what I come for, they are so good. We had the bar mix oysters 24, including the sweetwater, that is from local Tomales Bay, the Kumamoto and the Highwater from Humboldt Bay. We also ordered the grilled Lingcod collar, smoke oysters fish & chips and a Cesar salad. For dessert we had the penna cotta. All are super delicious. It took us more than 3 hours to drive there but totally worth the trip. Service is very good. Our server Michael was very attentive. Restaurant is along Highway 1, parking is right outside. Scenery is also right great. read more

Tens across the board!! My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary, and we were so impressed! This restaurant is located in Tomales Bay and away from the city. It's quiet, peaceful, and on the water. The drive here was beautiful and relaxing. We had a 2 PM reservation and were sat immediately. I highly recommend getting a reservation as there were many people waiting when we got there. Unfortunately there was a wait for outdoor tables, so we decided to sit indoor instead, but we did get a great window view! Parking was fairly easy, there are some parking spot directly in front, but if there isn't, you can parallel park by the water. There was no signal here, but they do offer guest "Guest" wifi with no password required. Now let's get to the food. We got the oyster bar mix, rustic seafood stew, HIOC clam chowder, and grilled tamari marinated lingcod collar. Every dish was so flavorful and delicious. We also got extra bread with no extra charge. The oysters were so fresh and paired well with their house hot sauce. The rustic seafood stew was loaded with seafood. The clam chowder was super creamy. For me, the main star was the lingcod collar. It was so tender and flavorful. I'm still thinking about it! Unfortunately, it is a special menu item and is not permanent. Service was great, our table was constantly getting prebussed and checked up on. This has now become one of our favorite restaurant and we will be back! read more

We couldn't get a reservation at the Hog Island Oyster Co.'s outdoor Boat Oyster Bar, so made a reservation here for their oysters. Tony's Seafood takes walk-ins, but it's best to make a reservation. We went on a Monday afternoon and there was a 30-40 minute wait without a reservation. Both indoor and outdoor tables are quite nice, with views of Tomales Bay. The atmosphere is chill, with many people here for just oysters and beer. I like their grilled oysters the best, especially with the chipotle bourbon butter, although the garlic butter and delicate squash butter toppings are delicious as well. We happened to catch sunset while we were dining, and it was beautiful! read more

We are camping in Bodega Bay and wanted to venture out. Took a ride and looked up what's around. There's a few places near Tony's, I believe Hogs Island Oyster company owns them ? I had the clam chowder, I know it's a hit & miss on Yelp? I loved it, lot's of clams! It was a bit watery? But tasty! My wife had the oyster BLTA with oysters on the side, for me. Oysters were deep fried and very delicious. read more

The oysters were the highlight of the meal! We had a round of the sweet waters then a round of a mixed local tray. I had the Caesar sala which was filling and my boyfriend had the clam chowder that I was able to try. Definitely worth it because it was filled with clams! We were seated pretty quickly for a party of 5. Our server was really fun and sweet, didn't get her name but would definitely come again. read more

A wonderful lunch stop on the way to the coast. They take reservations but we didn't have any but got there early enough to get a nice spot outside. Loved the menu and all their oyster options- sister restaurant to Hog Island. Our server was very helpful and friendly. They had Kumamoto oysters on the half shell and they were fabulous. Best I ever had and not tiny as they can often be. Oyster po boy was delicious and loved the lingcod tacos and their corn chipotle salsa. Great homemade iced tea and a nice beer and wine selection too. Didn't have room for dessert. Hope we will pass this way again to enjoy this place! read more

My friend and I had had an 8 mile hike and were starving! We made a mistake of not making a reservation on a Saturday night, however, we got very lucky and were let inside to have a beautiful dinner at Tony's. Everything was Divine and it was an all shellfish meal with oysters to start with and then we shared some very fresh mussels and a pasta with clams. Crazy good all of it. Our waiter, Michael Slater, added to the fun experience. Very knowledgeable about the food and described the oysters well before we ordered them. Additionally, great knowledge of the wine and even allowed us to taste a few before deciding on which ones we wanted to have. Really great personality on him as well. It all adds to the great experience at Tony's! Thank you for a wonderful evening in a charming restaurant that feels like you're floating in a boat on the water. read more

Where do I even begin...an amazing setting with Tomales Bay as my background and happy hum of satisfied customers rolling through the patio, my family and I just enjoyed one of the most incredible meals I've ever had. We were treated to a Blue Fin Collar extravaganza; 25lb collar straight off the boat and into the talented hands of Chris, the head chef of Tony's. It was marinated in heavenly flavors and served with pickled carrots and an in incredible slaw this was hands down truly a mind blowing presentation. Coupled with excellent wine, ceaser salad, fish and chips, which are gluten free and still absolutely crushed it, as well as plates of oyster that filled us all with joy. read more

Came in for lunch on Veteran's day and we were told 40 minute wait for 2 people. Checked in after 30 minutes and we were seated within the next 5! So estimated wait tomes are accurate and all the workers were nice. Restaurant itself is right along the water so you get a nice view with your meal, though I had 2 nice views. We came to try to fried oyster po boy and thought the fish tacos sounded good as well. The fish tacos could've used a little more seasoning and flavor.

This little seafood gem is just off the highway and on the water literally! It has the appearance of casual dining but on the water with the sun sparkling on the water winking through the bay glass. Indoor and outdoor seating is available. I am sure they can get busy and if you have cell service IF call ahead for a table. They close at 730pm so plan your time wisely. We had a group. We were quickly seated for lunch. Most of us ordered fhe clam chowder bowl. I grew up with eating fresh seafood and clam chowder was a regular monthly item in our house. Ours was creamy and thick with lots of clams so delish! But clam chowder took the prize the cream broth was thin but thick with flavor the clams in the shell were like a small pile of goodness. It's hard to find clam chowder that is so full of clams! Hands down the best clam chowder! I hope to make the trek back sometime soon. read more

Dog-friendly at the patio. I really liked the clam linguini (flavorful, buttery and layered) and the pieces of corn made it extra interesting. The rustic seafood stew was also very delicious with a tomato broth, perfect to pair with bread. You can order a side of bread which was made by route one bakery. The clam chowder was average in a good way but one thing to note was the watery consistency. It wasn't the typical new England clam chowder thickness so it's more like a soup than a chowder. The oyster bar mix was very fresh and creamy. Service was wonderful. Our server and the staff at the restaurant all helped out each other and very friendly. It was a bit windy and sometimes sunny at the patio and each outdoor table had a sun umbrella which was helpful. Overall will 100% come back again! read more

The food and service was very good, not the absolute best, but VERY good. We arrived at 11:30am on a sunny Thursday in mid April. Tony's is the place for Fresh Oysters. Whether they are grilled or 'on the half-shell', you will have a choice of a variety of super fresh oysters from right there in Tomales Bay to from up in WA and OR and even the East Coast. The real superstar at Tony's was a combination of the view and simple joy that came from having a table on a patio overhanging the water's edge. Don't drive out here because you are hungry, even though the food is pretty darn good. Come here because you want to watch your worries and all the rest, float away with the tide and a few oysters would also really hit the spot! read more
