Café Marina & Woodley's Bar - Eureka, California

I had a delicious meal with a beautiful view on a wonderful sunny Sunday afternoon. The outside seating was packed, and could've used another server for the deck area, that's my only ding. The food was delivered fairly quickly, and the portions were more generous than I expected; the fish and chips entree has 6 pieces of fish, your choice of soup or salad, and 2 sides. The oyster shooters for $3.95 were a nice treat, and the oysters were quite large. The clam chowder is flavorful and on thicker side, which I enjoy. They have a nice drink menu with options covering all the major liquors, a wine selection and several beer choices. I will be back again!

We've been waiting at the "Please Wait to be Seated" sign for 30 minutes. One party got their table. Place is only half full. People in line are bailing out. Can't rate the food because we couldn't get any. Atmosphere seems nice for Eureka... if you get a table. I guess don't come on a Friday afternoon?

I only had the soup and salad but the ranch was amazing and I loved the beets on the salad. The view was great and the waitress was very attentive and sweet 😀

Outstanding experience. The restaurant sits on the marina and truly has good food at a very reasonable price for the proximity to the water. The waitress was so nice and accommodating. There is a full bar and pets are welcome on the patio facing the boats in their slips. Because the patio faces south-east, the prevailing wind is blocked by the structure making very pleasant in April at least. The pricing on cocktail is cheap in relation to every other seaside experience I have ever had. They were able to come up with gluten free options as we. We'll be back.

We tried to get a table at this restaurant for two nights but only succeeded on the second night after a long wait. Reach early as they don’t take reservations over the phone. The food was good, and they have a beautiful outside seating area. There was a mix-up with our order and the check, but they corrected it and offered a complimentary dessert.

We stopped at Cafe Marina & Woodley’s Bar on our honeymoon for a late lunch and enjoyed the fish & chips, ceasar salad with chicken, clam chowder & broiled oysters. Everything was so fresh & tasted great! We sat right along the water and even got to see a seal playing around the boats!

The place is right next to a dock so it’s very pretty to sit on the deck and have your breakfast or lunch.
The view from the deck is very good.
we got the calamari, shrimp sandwich and tacos.
Calamari was okay, we’ve had better.
The shrimp sandwich was good, it was very unique to see mini shrimps in it. With the coleslaw, the burger tasted very nice.

Tacos were a hit, they had a lot of elements including pineapple which was unexpected.

Overall good experience.

I had high hopes for this place but was disappointed.😢 Started with an appetizer of garlic fries which was a good size and had a decent amount of garlic ( cheese was a little weak). My Cajun red snapper was under seasoned and the bread overwhelmed the sandwich. The side salad had 1 cucumber slice, 1 beat and just greens (lame). The New England clam chowder was tasteless and mostly broth. I put hot sauce in it to help. The service was weak. Our dishes sat at our table the majority of the time and we had to flag her down for refills BUT the outside seating is awesome and view beautiful. Too bad the food didn’t match the location
