Terrapin Creek

Wonderful service and delicious food. Highly recommended.

I have mixed feelings about this place. The service is friendly and attentive, no issues there. The wine list is on the expensive side but the wines by the glass have been well chosen and are excellent. The menu is small but interesting with use of local ingredients, just as I like it. The desert at $10 is not overpriced. The ambience is fine but it can be a little noisy.
We came for our anniversary and had a cocktail to start, not bad but only one choice of gin for my martini. The starters (scallops and a salad) were not that elegant and just ok. My duck was slightly over-cooked and the accompanying vegetables a bit of a miss mach. My wife’s salmon was fine but not special. The chocolate desert was lacking chocolate.
All in all I came away being disappointed with the price ($200) versus the presentation and tastiness of the food.
More attention needed to how individual foods taste and combine as well as much improved presentation.

Exceptional service with delicious food. Rick, our waiter, was a delight. We had lamb sausage pasta and steak.

This restaurant was a fabulous experience all throughout. As you walk in, it may not greatly stand out as a fancy place, but every aspect of dining here was phenomenal. Starting off with the appetizers, my family got the fresh oysters, the yellowtail, and a couple of salads for the table. Each dish provided a huge variety of flavor and was absolutely delicious. However, the winner of the appetizers would have to be the fresh oysters. Then for the entree, I got the duck breast. The duck was cooked perfectly; very tender and succulent. Can confidently say one of the best duck dishes I have ever had. One thing that also impressed me was the presentation of each plate; each one came out as if it was prepared to be presented in front of a judge on a cooking show. Service was also moderately fast and very friendly. Overall an outstanding experience and would recommend to anyone looking for a dining option in the Bodega Bay Area.

A veritable cornucopia of flavors will dance across your palate, pausing just long enough for the tip of your tongue to give notice to the rear guard that there’s a party jumping off and it’s time to grab a coffee and stay alert for the grand finale: entrees are exceeded only by desserts. Smile at your date. Hug your mama. You won’t be home for a while.
