Nick's Cove

Loved this place!! Super cute stop along highway 1. Excellent food, has a good amount of non seafood options which is nice. The bartender was super friendly. For ordering everything is ordered at the front table then you pick it up, which seems pretty casual for how nice the food and place is. They have a beautiful pier with ample spots to sit and hang out. Definitely a great stop if you are looking for a little romantic spot to eat on your road trip.

We drove over from Inverness for dinner and we were disappointed on every level. Both our fish dishes were over cooked and barely edible, the potatoes were… not good. The soft serve ice cream was good, the strawberry shortcake was not. It looked like something they threw it together. Dinner for 3 was $140, and we expected more.
Maybe this was an off night, but it’s our second bad experience. Driving out to Nick’s used to be a treat and the service and food were outstanding. I’m not sure what’s happening here but I hope they turn it around.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nick's Cove is an absolute paradise nestled along the shores of Tomales Bay. As soon as you arrive, you're greeted by a sense of tranquility that's hard to find elsewhere. This boutique hotel is truly a hidden gem that exceeded all of my expectations.
The highlight of Nick's Cove has to be the stunning views. Whether you're enjoying a morning coffee on your private deck or unwinding in one of their remodeled cottage rooms, the view is always a breathtaking backdrop. The cottages strike the perfect balance between rustic charm and modern comfort. The attention to detail in the design and furnishings creates a cozy and inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. But the true culinary journey begins at Nick's Cove Restaurant, led by none other than Top Chef Masters winner, Chris Cosentino. We had some of the most delicious and fresh oysters + lobster rolls of our lives there! Nick's Cove is a haven for those seeking a getaway that combines serene natural beauty, exceptional dining, and luxurious accommodations.

I’ve been there twice and both times I’ve had milky, slimy oysters (spawning). I definitely don’t recommend the oysters, but all of the other food is ok. I should’ve taken them back and gotten my money back as they’re quite pricy, but just tossed them instead. The setting is awesome, but I’ll probably will skip this place next time I’m in the area.

One of the best fish and chips experiences I have had in my life. So fresh.
The oysters were also fresh, and delicious, as well as the lobster roll.
I would recommend this as a place to stop for lunch to anyone driving by here. Totally worth the stop.

Absolutely amazing service from everyone, including front desk, bartenders, servers, etc, and really good food. Our room, Uncle Andy's, was very comfortable and spacious and we were able to bring our dog. Only suggestions would be to have plusher towels and include salt and pepper with meals brought to rooms. There is road noise, but it dies down significantly at night due to the drop in traffic. Could hear guests in the neighboring room occasionally.

Great ambiance. Love coming here for the bay views. Prices are a little high but you are paying for the views. Fish and chips are great.

But be warned: do not order the clam chowder. It’s watery, full of celery with maybe two clams in there. Please Nicks Cove I love coming to your restaurant but take another look at your clam chowder recipe.
