I was really disappointed this time with the food. I got pot stickers and crab Rangoon. Both were over cooked and terrible.

Terrific comfort food made with love.

The rooms are good and the staff is great. I really enjoy staying here. The food is also pretty good as well. The drinks have a good pore and watch out for the frozen drinks, they are good but the catch up and get you drunk in a good way.

I have no problems with the actual resort/bar, The rooms are stocked with coffee/Water/AC (If you get the 1 room with AC), Great selection of drinks and local beer is second to none in the surrounding area of this small town. With that being sad this is the epitome of small town mentality. The bartenders enjoy over serving not only guests but the locals who frequent the bar/pool which makes for very sloppy patrons and a very bad look for the business itself. The owner and his manager are out of touch with reality angrily shunning guests with dogs because they are not on a leash, Meanwhile the owner and manager have their ill-tempered dogs (Boomer & Will) running around pissing/pooping/antagonizing the grounds of this establishment with no thought behind their own hypocrisy. Other than the mature locals cruising and doing drugs in the rooms/bathroom the environment is fine. Great music for those who enjoy the occasional nose-nachos. Darts, Karaoke and debachery for all ye who enter here.FIN

Great place but the food in the restaurant is nothing like it used to be. The server insisted that the appetizer could not be served first while I was having my whine... It had to be served with the dinner. The appetizer was hot but the dinner was not. The server insisted this is the only way it can be done. I don't think he believed it - he was just repeating what they told him to say. He asked me how the food was and I said "I'll give it a 3." He just nodded and told me to let him know if he could get me anything else. Like what? Never again.

I was hosting a birthday weekend at the Russian River. Spent a day canoeing (love Burke's Canoes!) and had asked the R3 to set up tables for my group of about 30. It couldn't have been more perfect! They set up the chairs behind the bar and we just had a terrific, day-after-the-river happy hour. Ron the bartender was fantastic and thoughtful. I can't recommend the place highly enough. Thanks, guys, for a memorable 60th!Also, we had the appetizers catered from the adjacent restaurant, the Rio Bistro. Paul and Christina did a fantastic job. We picked 5 apps, they served them hot -- just terrific service. Just a perfect day.

After a nice conversation this issue was resolved.Happy conclusion. Much obliged. Thank you
Matti and Christina were the greatest service I've ever had in my entire life. I've never been to a restaurant where I have felt more accepted, included and safe than I have at the Rio Bistro located at the R3. They were so incredibly accommodating, and I'm pretty sure they would have literally fed me with a fork if I had asked. They're absolutely amazing. Could not rate them higher. They were NOT a part of the bar, or bar drinks, but they did so absolutely fabulous with servicing our drinks from the restaurant. I could not ask for more.

The bar here is so much fun!! And everyone that works at R3 has been so helpful and nice. I love being part of this amazing property. Thank you R3

This restaurant just opened (or re-opened) last month (April 2022) and replaced Betty Spaghetti. It is run by the same people who run Rio Cafe in Monte Rio. It is located inside the R3 Hotel resort, a favorite destination for gay couples. We arrived at the restaurant for lunch, in the middle of a drag show. Quite fun! The fare is mainly sandwiches and burgers, with extras like fish tacos. Not much choice for vegetarians, but if you like a good reuben...

Love the staff. They're approachable able to hold a conversation and make you feel at home. Will definitely be coming back here.
