Leaving Mendocino County we are off to Santa Rosa, specifically Bodega Bay, where Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" was filmed. We arrived at The Inn at the Tides located at 800 Pacific Coast Highway One to have lunch. I was intent on having dungess crab. To me it is by far the best crab as it seems the least salty, very large (you can easily get a two-pounder)and have the most meat (both the body and the legs). But you can only get it fresh on the Pacific Coast of the US. Nancy and Barbara had some other items that came with steak fries...I believe that one was fried oysters and chips.
The restaurants feature is not only the food but the panoramic views.
Dessert is best gotten at their bakery that included many Italian goodies, especially since Carlo Galazzo is the GM.
As you enter the restaurant you could see this large marketplace selling meats, seafood and products to add to your cooking.
We then stepped outside on the wharf to see some fishing boats when lo and behold we were attacked by birds! But not just any bird...it was Esther and Eunice trying to their impression of the movie. Poor Nancy. They got her in the ass. Poor Barbara. They were trying to eat her eyeballs!
Nancy took photos of the signs that talk about the movie.
