About the Restaurant

Terrapin Creek is run by Liya Lin and Andrew Truong on Eastshore Road in Bodega Bay. It calls itself a casual neighborhood spot serving local and international cooking.

The Michelin Guide lists the restaurant and describes a concise seasonal menu, a dining room with ochre walls, bold art and a fireplace, and dishes such as hamachi crudo, pan-roasted scallops, house-made pasta, olive oil-poached halibut and a Mediterranean fish stew.

Getting There With a Chauffeur

Terrapin Creek makes the Sonoma Coast a full day: West Sonoma Coast Pinot and Chardonnay tastings, time on the bluffs, then an early dinner. The roads back inland through the hills are winding and dark, so a chauffeur is the comfortable choice.

Typical drive times to Terrapin Creek (without traffic):

  • From Sebastopol: about 30 minutes (16 miles)
  • From downtown Santa Rosa: about 41 minutes (23 miles)
  • From the Healdsburg Plaza: about 58 minutes (38 miles)

Your chauffeur drops you at the door, waits while you dine, and drives everyone home. Gratuity is always included in our prices. Call or text 833-915-2436, or reserve online.
