♦ Manka's Inverness Lodge and Restaurant ♦
Manka's Inverness Lodge and Restaurant is one of our most favorite places to dine in the Inverness Park area, this one being located in nearby Inverness. The lodge itself happens to be one of our favorite getaway spots, but you can enjoy the restaurant without having to book a room. The menu is heavily focused on delicious game meats, so if you are looking for something a bit more wild than what you'll find at the other restaurants in the area, this is it. If you do decide to stay for a night or two, you definitely won't be disappointed. Truly exquisite amenities here. You will find Manka's Inverness Lodge and Restaurant at 30 Callendar Way in Inverness.
♦ Vladimir's Czech Restaurant ♦
Vladimir's Czech Restaurant is one of the most unusual places to dine in the Inverness/Inverness Park area. We love the Pilsner Urquell beer, and all of their shots are fantastic too. You'll be treated to a dinner of traditional Czech food, and best of all it's all enjoyed in a deliciously old fashioned atmosphere. The place appears to have never been updated beyond the necessities, and we love it that way. It's like stepping back in time, to the days when both the decor and the service were hundreds of times better than they are today! You will be able to locate Vladimir's Czech Restaurant at 12785 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Inverness.
♦ Thepmonggon Thai on the Bay ♦
Thepmonggon Thai on the Bay is one of our favorite Thai restaurants in the Inverness area. We love their oyster sampler so much that we order it every time, and they've also got great angel wings and pad thai. We would very highly recommend the pad thai with smoked pork! Wow, is it good! Their Tom Ka Ga is also fantastic, and we love all of their rolls and chicken satay too. Truly excellent green curry as well! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They put so much care into each item! You can find Thepmonggon Thai on the Bay at 12938 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in Inverness.
♦ Hog Island Oyster ♦
One of the online reviews of Hog Island Oyster describes it as "like biting into the sea," and we can't think of better words to describe this excellent oyster farm! This is a fun place to bring your family or guests from out of town. You can either bring your own shucking gloves or rent some when you get there, and we do recommend that you bring your own picnic gear and charcoal. You'll want to call ahead and make a reservation, because those picnic tables get filled up quickly. This is such a fun thing to do with your friends and family! You can find Hog Island Oyster at 20215 California 1 in nearby Marshall. Very highly recommended!
♦ Drake's Beach Cafe ♦
Drake's Beach Cafe is al fresco dining at its best! It's been going strong since 1975, which says a lot about the high quality and wonderful service. The ingredients are all fresh and locally sourced, and their menu, though small, is varied and unusual. The hamburgers, while being one of the more basic items on the menu, are fantastic. Best in town. We also love their oyster tacos, and their coffees and hot cocoas are just perfect! This is such a great place to stop in after a long day at the beach. You'll be able to find Drake's Beach Cafe at 1 Drakes Beach Road in Inverness.
♦ Lagunitas Brewing Co ♦
Lagunitas Brewing Co is THE spot for great beer in the Inverness Park area, located in nearby Petaluma. If you love microbrews and craft brews, you will certainly want to head into their beer garden to enjoy a few cold ones. It's very basic here, with a menu that basically just lists the names of the beers, so if you are new to microbrews and need complete descriptions, you may want to try this one a little later. They've got great food here including all your pub favorites, but we come here strictly for the beer. Very highly recommended! You can find Lagunitas Brewing Co at 1280 North McDowell Boulevard in Petaluma!
