Additionally, the property offers potential for expansion of its business operations or the opportunity to accommodate an owner/operator.

The updated dining room is fully outfitted with furniture, fixtures, and equipment, including a Type 1 hood. A Type 47 liquor license is included, enabling the operation of a full bar. Conveniently located just off Highway 1, the restaurant is perfectly positioned to attract tourists traveling to popular destinations such as Dillon Beach and Bodega Bay.

OUTDOOR PATIO

The outdoor patio, conveniently situated next to the restaurant and bar, offers versatile functionality. It serves as an inviting space for additional seating, a warm and sunny spot for brunch, or a refreshing venue for events and larger gatherings.
