Eat

Inspired by Farm + Sea, Dillon Beach Coastal Kitchen highlights and celebrates local & seasonal cuisine. The Coastal Kitchen is an advocate for our local food shed, thoughtfully sourcing proteins, produce and products often directly from farmers, ranchers, foragers, and fishermen almost exclusively from Northern California. Our seasonally driven menu highlights the ingredients sourced from Marin and Sonoma Counties.
