West Marin

Point Reyes Station

• • Cafe Reyes is nice & casual with Neapolitan-style pizzas and a few other offerings (including oysters), rec'd Michelin

  • Side Street Kitchen was recommended by Eater SF & looks nice & casual with local ingredients, wide-ranging menu, also has quesadillas for kids

  • Brickmaiden Breads looks like they make great breads/pastries; they used to have a more extensive breakfast/lunch/dinner menu but now it's mostly soup & sandwiches for lunch. A few "wheat free" items (not explicitly "gluten free")

Tomales Bay

• • Marshall Store - 19225 California 1, 415-663-1339, oysters, clam chowder, etc. rec'd Eater SF, associated with the Tomales Bay Oyster Company

    • ...Tomales Bay Oyster Company also has a take-away stand on the weekends (note: they no longer have picnic tables)

  • Tony's Seafood Restaurant - 18863 Highway 1, now run by Hog Island Oyster Company, rec'd Eater SF and Michelin

    • Hog Island also runs The Boat Oyster Bar (outdoor cafe) and The Hog Shack (to go...note that they no longer have shuck-your-own picnic tables)

    • You can also do farm tours by reservation on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays

  • ***Nick's Cove - great food and romantic atmosphere; you can also rent rooms (including houseboat-like waterfront cottages!)

  • Saltwater Oyster Depot in Inverness looks like a nicer/fancier spot rec'd Michelin and Eater SF (although this older Eater SF review complains about high prices/small portions), might also be worth a try?

  • The town of Tomales (just north of Nick's Cove) has the nice-looking Route One Bakery & Kitchen (rec'd Eater SF)

    • ...there's also the intriguing K&A Take Away that offers daily-changing sandwiches advertised on their Facebook page

Bolinas/Stinson Beach

• • BoVida looks like an interesting "health food" restaurant (acai bowls, smoothies, sandwiches)

  • Coast Cafe looks pretty nice and rec'd Eater SF

  • 11 Wharf Road B&B has what looks like a nice dinner (also rec'd Eater SF)
