This restaurant is a long time staple in Point Reyes Station. They've recently moved to a new location up the block. The new space is very nice. We were greeted and seated right away. The service was fast and friendly. The drinks came out impossibly fast, as did the food. The turkey chili is a good go to for me. Very satisfying and it comes with a yummy corn muffin. My wife really likes the house made veggie burger. Already looking forward to going back and enjoying the new bar area. Definitely a place to check out when you're in the area.

I saw this place get really busy as there are limited options in point Reyes, luckily we got there when it first opened and got seated. The restaurant quickly filled up and so did the waiting list. Luckily our food came out pretty quickly and it was delicious. Best turkey melt I have ever had and so flavorful! The restaurant itself is beautiful and clean.

Station House Cafe in the sleepy western Marin town of Inverness (population, 1,500) is a go-to, delicious staple dining option for locals and tourists alike. An iconic Resto for Inverness for years, it recently moved across the street from it's original downtown location into it's present modern and nicely constructed decor and ambiance after 3 years of trying to satisfy local red tape requirements which is a hallmark of Marin county governments, municipalities and privileged residents regarding any change or construction. The restaurant has a center main entrance, and 2 dining rooms on either side of the hostess reception by the door, the bar and kitchen behind that middle section, with gender neutral private WC and communal sink, like many newer constructed restos in SF, in the rear left of the building. The food is great, with many locally grown ingredients and healthy but tasty mains, starter and sides. Our party had the 1) Bolinas Halibut, locally caught, which was wonderful; 2) the Turkey Chili which was delish; the 3) Station Burger with fries which was enjoyable and cooked as ordered, and 4) I had the Fettuccine, which was light, perfect Al dente noodles in a thin red sauce with kale, and thinly sliced veggie accents, with some caper flavored complexity. Everyone enjoyed their orders. We started with Caesar's salad with anchovy optional, and a great beet salad with goat cheese. Oh, but start off with fresh Popovers! They are known for these fresh and baked treats, served with a great salted butter spread! If you've been looking for fresh Popovers, these alone almost are worth the drive in from the City! Service was very friendly and efficient, and servings were delivered in timed waves (starters, then mains) in table unison by the food runner for all to enjoy at the same time. Just like Downtown. Ergo "Cafe" is a bit of a misnomer, (it's nothing like Denny's) because this is local dining with fresh local ingredients, superbly prepared, and efficiently served, to satisfy a well seasoned palate of well travelled visitors or privileged veterans of California Cuisine to a degree first started decades ago by Alice Waters and Wolfgang Puck. It's not that level, but the concept is a local Cafe version with that intent in a sparsely populated West Marin location that is quite delightful. Bonus: this is the Spark After dark, the late night place to be, in sleepy Inverness, as on the Thursday night we dined, a jazz quartet started up around 7:30p in one of the dining rooms, to provide entertainment and the opportunity for locals and visitors to participate in social lubrication from the bar together to with the jazzy eargasms from the band. Who knew you could have all this in one Cafe in the land of Milk, Cheese, and Tomales Bay seafood?

Ok so Point Reyes Station isn't a big town- you don't have a TON of options for dinner but honestly Station House Cafe was a really pleasant experience and the food was great. I see some reviews mentioning this is their new location, so I suspect that its ratings may be dragged down by past lesser ratings before their move. The interior of the restaurant feels modern and stylish, they have a fun airport-style letter flip sign that changes messages every 30ish seconds, cute bar and decor. Clean restrooms. Food was quite yummy! Not the cheapest, but worth for the quality I think. I had the Point Reyes 75 which was a cute local spin on a French 75 with locally brewed mead mixed in. The bread basket was a tad small, but the popovers and corn muffing were good with butter (a bit dry/dense on their own). The skirt steak salad was great though!! Crispy fried shallots, tender steak slices, and great dressing- a super well balanced salad. Service was nice and we were seated almost immediately on a summer Saturday around 5:30 pm as a party of 4. 5% fair wage surcharge, but it's a small town so I'm happy to support.

Mary, our server, was attentive and very sweet. Atmosphere was quaint and casual. I tried the Cucumber, Thyme, and Tonic Fizz ~ so refreshing! We started with Croquettes ~ warm Mac and Cheese with creamy, whipped Parmesan dip topped with shaved Parmesan ~ worth going for!!! Raw and Baked Oysters ~ fresh and delicious; our Entrees were SEARED STEELHEAD white bean ragout, baby kale, roasted peppers, Brussels sprouts & frisee ~Outstanding!!! Dessert was so scrumptious ~Chocolate Pudding with crunchy Chocolate Balls. Loved the sign over the kitchen door that changed messages every couple of minutes. Traveled from the East Bay and this was our second visit in a month.

Stopped in for a quick lunch on a Friday. Service was attentive and the food was solid! I enjoyed the green curry mussels and the Rueben was pretty tasty. We saw a sign for live music so I can imagine it getting very loud and lovely.

This place was delicious!! Unassuming from the outside, but a well decorated and trendy establishment on the inside. The restaurant was bustling and a bit on the noisy side, and service was friendly. Was recommended the mussels from a waitress and I LOVED it. The Thai curry sauce it came with was delicious. Ended up ordering even more of the garlic bread it came with as well. I also shared a chicken Caesar salad as well that was pretty good! The croutons and dressing were ok but I liked that they gave whole lettuce leaves and the chicken was nicely seasoned. Got a dozen oysters and those were definitely a highlight. Super fresh oysters that we finished up pretty quickly. On the whole definitely recommend seafood here more than the other options! Was delicious

We had a wonderful dinner here on a Friday night. The service was fast and friendly. Cute decor and good ambiance. I understand they relocated recently across the street from the original location. The new location is great. We started with a half dozen broiled oysters in garlic butter. I usually have oysters raw but was intrigued by the garlic butter. The oysters were delicious. Half a dozen was perfect to share between two people. I ordered a bees knees cocktail and my partner his usually old fashion. Both were delicious and were served promptly. For my main, I went with the mussels in a green curry coconut sauce. I had never had mussels in curry but it is a brilliant idea over the usual garlic butter sauce. The mussels came with two hunks of charred bread that I gladly soaked in the leftover curry sauce. My partners waygu steak was cooked to the perfect temperature. The greens, potatoes and onions served alongside were also delicious. We ended with a lemon pot de crème that was baked making it more like the filling of a lemon pie. Delicious. Perfectly tart and a refreshing way to end a meal. I also tried a mint after dessert cocktail, which was surprisingly good. It was like drinking an Andes mint. Hands down the best restaurant in the small town of Point Reyes Station and the most upscale restaurant in the area. Service was really fast and professional. Prices were very reasonable compared to the Bay Area and quality was just as good.

I have always loved the drive to this wonderful Cafe. We decided to get in the car and just head to where our heart lead us. This path lead us to the beautiful Pt. Reyes Station and right to the Station House Cafe. Based on our experience when we dined here a few times when this was located across the street pre-pandemic, we knew it was going to be great. The last meal I based my positive memory on was a poached egg with polenta and blanched greens. In all my years of eating, I had never had polenta before. The creamy texture was one that I had never imagined loving so much and the greens were not soggy or undercooked, they were the perfect mouth feel. I asked for an over medium poached egg and that was cooked exactly to my liking. When we landed to our destination that beautiful sunny day, we ordered bloody Mary's, popovers, roasted corn, greens and polenta. Again, the polenta was so so delicious and reminiscent of our previous experience. I was looking for a small nibble and opted for the clam chowder. The soup was thick and full of potatoes and clam and it was not too thick and rich. Sometimes you will get a spoonful of sand, soup with no clam and only potato and even soup that is so thick your spoon will stand straight up in the air. This was none of those things. This soup was worth the extra calories. I had never had a popover, and honestly, the popover was good but not really something I would order again. My Hubs on the other hand, was glad to eat what I left on the plate. He will order it again for sure. I can't wait to go back to Station House Cafe and try something new. And maybe have another perfectly poured Bloody Mary.
