We stopped by the restaurant for dinner and were pleasantly surprised by the wonderful dishes and live music! Although the menus had a few differences in items and some of the food and drink items we ordered were not in stock, what we did end up eating and drinking we absolutely LOVED. We requested a side salad and even though it was not a regular item they put together one of the most fantastic ceaser salads we've ever had. The bruschretta was gorgeous and delicious and the drinks were perfect- including the virgin mojito for the pregnant person in our party.

I came to this place for the first time ever, last Saturday because i heard one of my favorite dance bands, Salsa Rosa was playing. We walked in, and it was very sweet to see this nice big room with fireplace in corner that you can cozy up to on one of their couches. The band was starting in about 30 min and we wanted to get a drink and a bit to eat. We stood at the bar waiting to be served. The lady gruffly asked if i wanted a menu, Anna i said yes. I asked a question about a drink. ( they have several interesting looking concoctions on their menu) She was so rude, shrugging her shoulders, saying, I don't know, then commenting they're out of ingredients for it. I tried to ask what drink was most popular? Again she shrugs and said i don't know, maybe this or that. But no welcoming attitude, no warmth at all; just cold. I was going to order food too, and she suddenly blurts out, of you guys want to order you gotta stand over there at the cash register! ( 3 feet away, and it was not that crowded)! I was like, In my mind, what did we do wrong to deserve this behavior? I've been to the road house next door many times usually in the summer. So i thought of going there to get food and a drink but they were really packed, way too busy. We decided to leave because not only was she rude, the place was asking a cover fee for the band. I have no problem paying the band, but didn't feel good to pay the place. We told a few people who were expecting we'd come in to see band how rude the lady was and that we needed to go somewhere else to eat. They said, oh too bad she's rude, they're just really busy. But no they were NOT that busy at all compared with the road house, who was also not rude. But we didn't care for Road house music, so we went to Guerneville up the road to the MainStreet grill where there was another descent band playing. We happily ate and drank there, though we would have preferred salsa rosa. Two stars for the cozy fire place. Fix this place up with a much better attitude and my stars may grow in the future if i ever make it over there again.

A hidden gem just off river road in Rio Nido. Tastey creative and beautiful cocktails, impressive menu of fresh food (not your typical bar/pub style). Fun live music in a gorgeous warm atmosphere. You feel like family when you walk in the door.

We loved staying here for a quick getaway and the room was cozy, well decorated, clean, and had great amenities. We loved the private hot tub (also very clean) and had a beautiful view of the redwoods and walkable to the river. This is a place I would absolutely come back to for a relaxing forest retreat

We stayed here for a night recently. It was expensive. A couple suggestions for owners. 1. Put a 2-wall L-shape privacy fence around the hot tub in the back. It's already next to a fence, so just add a simple L shaped fence to give it more privacy. Then, one side would be open to see if it's occupied or not. I'm not going to use a hot tub that's completely in view of other guests windows. 2. Put a chair or loveseat in the room. There was all this empty space under the window and the only place to sit in the room was the bed. 3. We did get tired at some point and watched a movie before bed. We had to crank our necks to watch the TV since it was the wall adjacent to the bed, and there was nowhere to sit but the bed. Either don't have a huge TV or add a couch or something that allows you to watch without cranking your neck. It's just weird how big the TV is and then how hard it is to actually use it. 4. The landscaping was very meh/non existent except for the gorgeous redwoods all around. The broken down concrete path was just kind of bland. They might've said that this was under construction, though.

This is my favorite place in the Russian River area. Excellent food, very generous portions - something for everyone. If you are into salads, you have come to the right place. Food is always "fresh!" The craft cocktails are simply to die for. The wine and beer selection wont disappoint. Taco Tuesdays, Karaoke Weds, Trivia Thursdays, live music and so much more. A beautiful setting and an all around amazing place.
Great hospitality, live music and lots of great food and specialty drinks and craft beers.A definite must go too when you're in the guerneville area!

This place was a fantastic little gem tucked away in the forest. A short little trip from just about anywhere in the entire Bay Area. Wish we had found it sooner. Hot tub was clean and room was warm and cozy. Great specialty food and gift items sold inside the lodge. We'll definitely be back again very soon!

I had been looking forward to coming to checkout this spot for MONTHS since it got renovated. What a huge disappointment. The bartender/waitress was clearly intoxicated and the food was inedible. The owner has been promoting on Facebook what looked like amazing dishes with beautiful presentation and our food was just not. Dare I say false advertising. Our seared ahi came mangled and tossed on a plate, salmon filets were shredded. Soup like mush. "Espresso martini" more like a cup of whipped cream. The owners were not there, but need to know that there is so much more potential for this place!!! Staff so unprofessional, cursing at her kids, cook in the parking lot smoking while making food. I will never be back. Hope there are some major changes. On a side note, the music by Brandon Eardley was awesome and enjoyable. The fireplaces were cozy, loved the decor and ambience. Just didn't match the experience. So super disappointing.
