A shuttered Bodega Bay restaurant is making a comeback. Restaurateurs Brandon Guenther and Shona Campbell have purchased the shuttered Lucas Wharf restaurant and will be reopening soon with a southern twist. Sonoma Magazine reports that the new menu will include more steak and seafood options as well as buttermilk fried chicken, bacon-wrapped shrimp and grits, barbecued and raw oysters, and Smashburgers. Guenther and Campbell have two other southern style restaurants in Valley Ford and Placerville. Lucas Wharf abruptly closed down in March of 2023. The previous owners cited pandemic related reasons for the shutdown as well as increased costs and slow business.
