Maja PetkovicNovember 5, 2014Oysters, oysters, oysters! Its also a picnic area where you can bring what ever you want and barbecue. Table is something like 5$, just it can be busy. You can also get charcoal, knives, sauces.
- Divya MulanjurDecember 29, 2015Buy a bag of fresh oysters, lemon,sauce and shucking knives; BYOB for a great day outdoors. The picnic area is closed now but there are a few benches around and picnic areas nearby.
Cash only! Oysters only! If you want beer - bring with you! If you want food other then oysters - bring with you! If you want drinks - well you know. It is oysters only and in the middle of nowhere
Kate ShawJune 15, 2018A little more rustic than Hog Island. Buy your oysters and shuck them at the picnic tables by the bay. I THINK BYOB.- Ali AndersonNovember 30, 2014Great weekend activity - reserve a table, buy a few bags of oysters, BYOB, and get cracking.
nils jansonNovember 28, 2014Get here early if it's nice weather or the weekend. The clams and mussels are huge and make for a great change of pace.
Daniel L.January 12, 2012An incredible day spent out here. Bring the wine, BBQ food, and a great appetite. Going in the Fall and Winter will promise better table availability.
Kevin HamanoJune 13, 2013The vibe is great. Be sure to come early to get a table or make a reservation if you have a party larger than 10 people.- Alfred LuiAugust 23, 2014There's new ownership now and the new owner is more, shall I say, enterprising. You have to pay tips for valet parking and a $5 per person to use the picnic table. All those used to be free. :(
Eddy ChouJuly 12, 2015Oysters and mussels. Get there early though and be prepared to wait. Bring other food to grill as well.
Raymond PeckMarch 22, 2018Absolutely beautiful location to grab some delicious oysters and have a picnic.
Andrew LamOctober 20, 2010They sell oysters/knives, first come outdoor tables/grills. You bring everything else (charcoal, booze, etc). Barter w/ others. Come early on wknds (full by 11am). Cheaper, more relaxed vs Hog Island.
- Christine LouieApril 14, 2015Oysters are delicious but don't forget to keep them on ice. Otherwise it's gonna be a long drive home.
Shirley LiuAugust 19, 2012Reserve a table if you have a big group. Great oysters but bring extra shuckers and beer :)
Jeff WeinsteinJanuary 2, 2014Come on a off day, get there early, bring everything but oysters. Perfect day.
Katherine LohJanuary 9, 2014well if you get out of the city and go to Marin, you have to get yourself from oysters!
GregOctober 4, 2010Unbelievable!!! Fresh & Tasty. Get crowded really fast. Remember the cooler to bring some oysters home.

"Oysters (raw and cooked) are amazing. So are the clam chowder, the baked brie, pulled pork sandwiches and the crab salad. Friendly staff and patrons and a view to die for."
Aaron Strout - 9.1

"Lovely shop with much, much more than the Cowgirl Creamery products: cheeses galore, breads and crackers, jams, sauces, dry goods, wine. Very expensive but worth every penny quality wise."
Wilson Favre-Delerue - 9.3
"There’s a brilliant cafe near the beach - Siren Cafe I think - makes the whole experience great. Strong recommend."
Tom Coates - 9.3
"Best place in Santa Rosa and maybe the West Coast. Great food, vibes, energy... Don't ask about the beers, just amazing."
