We stopped off for lunch at this lovely location. The Lodge has been refurbished beautifully but was very busy and the staff were struggling. The food was good but, due to the holidays, was so busy that service could have been better. We would happily return at a slightly quieter time. There are some wonderful coastal walks to be had here.

My spouse and I drove up from SF for dinner. We had never been here before, and we were definitely not disappointed. The setting was gorgeous, the restored lodge was cozy and welcoming, and the dining room had panoramic views -- especially from our corner table by the windows. Our dinner consisted of halibut ceviche and Petaluma chicken; both were quite good. The mashed potatoes that we had with the chicken were creamy and flavorful. The strawberry shortcake was delicious and made for a fine end to an enjoyable meal. Service was pleasant and helpful. We can't wait to return!

I cannot tell you how great this place is- the people, the view, and the food all fold together very well. Sure, you can get better food in the city, but you are looking at a wall or someone's idea of art. Last week we had dinner and watched a pod of whales go by, top that! I love this place and the people that run it! Hotel is being worked on should be open late fall

Grilled cheese and tomato soup with a million dollar view! A MUST if you’re in the area. Nicely remodeled, however, I do miss some of the rustic cozy feel it had years before. Add a fire pit outside and we’re golden. Great trails right beyond the lodge with breathtaking views

Great to have this space open again. Dining experience is different from prior management… but then it was closed for some time. So we had a breakfast which was very good and then went back for dinner which was equally good. Just need a little more polish on the dinner service …although experienced help is hard to find. This is an amazing area of Northern California and the weather has been fantastic. Walk on the bluff far enough and you will see colonies of harbor seals… just be respectful.

The Lodge is under construction with months to go. Next to small store and post office is a restaurant area serving light lunches and dinner several evening a week. Our sandwiches were good, with small salad. Pick out a table with great views and food is delivered. Well worth a stop.

This lodge & restaurant serves as the center for the Sea Ranch community. We stopped for a final lunch at the end of our weekend visit. The cafe staff were friendly as could be. A beautiful experience with terrific trails and beach views. On a sunny day with a brisk wind and whitecaps, wo dwrful to sit indoors overlooking the ocean.

Food is very overpriced for what you get. Clientele is the mid 40-50 golfer that thinks they are something better. Pretentious AF. No high chair for kids. Can’t recommend going here. Only if you need to express to be someone through expensive consumption of food and drinks.

Thought this update might be helpful. After being sold, Lodge has been closed for a pending total remodel. As of early August 2019 there has not been a lot of activity. It appears that a dumpster was just recently delivered and it’s not like there has been a fleet of contractors’ trucks parked in front during the week so perhaps work is just getting started (?). Access to the Lodge parking lot is now blocked by a temporary gate on which a sign says “Closed for Remodeling. See you in 2020.” I’d guess based on what I’ve seen it will be well into 2020. See attached photo of gate and sign.

Short trip with wife and 2 little ones. Plenty to do and see, hikes along the beach, surrounded by coastal nature. Make sure you stop in Petaluma to do your shopping, the markets in Gualala have slim pickings.
