New American Restaurants near Guerneville, CA

“We enjoyed our meal and would absolutely go back again. I had the salmon and my husband had the steak. Both were delicious!“

“Great Sunday Brunch! Outdoor dining was lovely. So glad we found Dawn Ranch. Food was excellent, service prompt and friendly.“

“We love this place! The food is ALWAYS good; the service is always good, and we love that there is always a good band playing and we get to dance! Our first waiter was Ben and oh how we loved him so we always asked for him when we would go in. Sadly, Ben moved out of the area but then we got Danny! Another fantastic server and now we always ask for her! Can't vouch for the other servers but my guess would be that they are all good! Susie is the owner, and she is wonderful! She always mingles with her guests and even gets many of them up dancing! I hope she knows how much her regulars appreciate her! I'm so glad we found this place because we do not live out there. We live in Santa Rosa, and I must say it is always worth the trip out there for a great evening!“

“Top notch and the perfect setting for a getaway.“

“We had a great prix fixe meal of 3 courses but the also offer 5 courses. No bad selections except for the cauliflower steak. I don’t think that is worth a steak or shrimp pasta but that is my opinion. Outdoor dining is available and they have heaters by the wall of sliding windows that open up totally he outside. Awesome deserts. I had the cookie butter cheesecake. I died and went to heaven.“

“Valette is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out is an experience, not just a meal. The Day Boat Scallops en Croûte is an absolute showstopper—encased in a delicate, golden pastry, it arrives at the table with a dramatic tableside pour of velvety sauce. The result? A perfect balance of buttery richness and ocean-fresh sweetness. Another amazing is the Sashimi Grade Hawaiian Ahi Poke Style. This is not your ordinary poki as it is made with 24 Month Barrel Aged Soy. The level of freshness of the fish truly comes through as the flavors blend perfectly with the crisp avocado. It is a fine line when adding a flash fried avocado to a dish that’s usually served cold. Vallete executes it perfectly! For the main course, the Dry-Aged Duck is a must-try. Crispy skin, succulent meat, and a medley of locally sourced seasonal veggies. Dessert is not an afterthought here. Strongly Suggest even if we do not have room at the end we always order the ItsNotA ‘Snickers Bar’ Deux. Service is impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff exudes genuine passion for the food and wine they serve. We love the whole team but especially Aaron-Jake-Sean-Isaac are amazing !?!?“

“I’m making a special trip from Illinois just to eat here. Gonna revolve our Vacation around the area. Looking forward to coming“

“The décor, ambiance, and overall vibe are truly extraordinary. The drive up the hill to Madrona Manor alone sets the tone—it’s absolutely beautiful.

We can’t speak to the food since we were there on New Year’s Eve and, unfortunately, no food was served. That said, the cocktails were spectacular, the service impeccable, and the bartender nothing short of a magician. The New Year’s Eve photo booth was a fun touch, and the décor struck the perfect balance—classy, understated, and never overdone.

A special shout-out to Judd, one of the bartending extraordinaires. His method of crafting an Old Fashioned is superb. The DJ kept the energy up with fun, cool tunes throughout the evening. We would absolutely love to return to enjoy a full meal here.“

“I have been going to River’s end restaurant for almost two decades and have always loved the experience. This time, I decided to stay a few days at the new Home collection lodging and the getaway was completely remarkable. I will make sure to come back more often in order to unplug and relax completely in this paradisiacal getaway.“

“🍽Great food, large portions and the special was down right great! Good cocktails and fresh food.“

“Best place to stay! It was magical and a great experience. The rooms are decorated in the best of theGatsby style. The employees were so friendly and made the stay great too. Thanks to Lori, Sasha, Melissa, Curtis for all the shared history and for making this a stay that was beyond perfect. I LOVE IT HERE & WILL BE BACK MANY MORE TIMES & FOR YEARS TO COME. Iam literally in my Heaven & Happy place.“
