Lucas Wharf Restaurant Bar - BODEGA BAY

As a former restaurant owner, I try to give breaks where I can go to other places that might have a bad night. Lucas Wharf, however, tested my compassion. There on a recommendation from a colleague who had good things to say. The place seemed cozy and welcoming. The view of the bay of the dining room was spectacular and the beer was cold. As good as it was. Our appetizers were tasteless and my Chowder was cold. The shellfish was crunchy bad that came with our ducks. My fish fry combo had overcooked shrimps and scallops that tasted as if they were going badly. My side of mixed vegetables was damped beyond recognition. Two more shellfish were brought out with many unopened crustaceans, a safe sign of bad shellfish. Usually the kitchen would check to remove as many of it as possible. The place was not too busy so there was no excuse. All four ducks we ordered were terrible. In addition, the waiter looked like he had a groovy case pink eye, really attractive when you try to enjoy a meal. About 24 hours later, I started getting sick and my daughter. I couldn't put two and two together until I was told that my daughter had eaten a cup of my plate when I went to the bathroom. She stopped the next day. I was a little better, but not much. I tried to get the owner on the phone for a week and a half without luck. I didn't want to do much about it. Only today found that the owner, Peggy Lucas, received my complaint letter and decided that the best remedy was to go on vacation and not be available for the next two weeks: a safe fire way to get a care after the most likely one gets sick from food born disease. Ladies and gentlemen, there are not many restaurants in Bodega Bay, of Design. It is a beautiful place and I recommend that you visit there. However, I would rather order my hotel before I ever get to Lucas Wharf. The only way I can see that they stay in business is because of a trapped tourist group. The place is simply terrible and with its obvious lack of concern, you have a better one than odds on the shot to ruin your holiday unless you plan to spend it face in the toilet.

Ordered the Calamari Appetizer, Clam-Chowder, the fried captain's party, the seafood risotto and the seafood pata. Overall, we were only half impressed by the pasta. The only reason I didn't give 4 stars, the shells weren't very tasteful, the Chowder was a little above average, the Risotto was just okay, the captain's party was just okay, and the server was very......again to say the least. That, and I felt for the cost and setting of this restaurant, I would expect a bit more taste from the dishes than whole. They lacked the taste stamp that woke you from the beginning.

On the way to home from the beach without expectations - we were totally blown away. the food was wonderful- super fresh seafood, service by christian was a joyful, beautiful view, and even had water for our pup. Thanks for a wonderful meal!

Wonderful view. great customer service. delicious food and reasonable prices. had an amazing time. definitely back.

Lucas Wharf Restaurant is great. The salmon and rockfish are caught locally, many other options on the menu as well. The Pablo crumbled salmon is beautiful and the crab melt sandwich was delicious. We sat on the window and watched the birds, the fishermen and even some seals. The view was very funny.
