Restaurants near Monte Rio

“What an absolutely darling little place! Situated in a veritable paradise - a blossoming community garden, delicious food and coffee and wonderful service! A must stop when in Sonoma”

“Do not pass this place up if you drive through the area! The owner brought us a sample of her salmon chowder while we waited for our food. The chowder is absolutely AMAZING! She shared awesome conversation of how she came about her salmon chowder. Great, family style atmosphere! We can't wait to return!”

“One of the most beautiful golf courses I've ever seen or played, staffed by some of the nicest people I've ever met at a golf course. My only regret is that I don't live nearby, so I can't come here 3 times a week. If you told me I could golf at Augusta for the same price, I'd do it, but I'd still love Northwood more.”

“Fabulous place to stay. On the river with a private dock with kayaks and paddle boards. Lots of day beds and lounging areas. Really good restaurant and bar. We listened to live music and had a great time. Very relaxing. We go every summer. Can't wait until next year”

“I had not had such a good pizza in years! I am Italian and can honestly say that their Margherita is as good or better as any I ever had! I waited 28 years for this. We really needed it in West Sonoma county !”

“The food was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared. The wine list is extensive, the service very thoughtful and thorough. Highly recommend when you are in the area!”

“I love this place! Especially the “us vs. them” side by side tastings of new world vs. old world European wines. The recent pop-up dinner with second staff was very well done!”

“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 sourdough and she's always trying new things.”

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

“Jimmy & John are amazing! Cocktails are heaven! Vibe & service beyond stellar! Thank you!!”

“5/5 stars – each star for customer care, product quality, atmosphere, speed, and value. Justin was a great host. I visited Thomas George Estates and was impressed by the beautiful vineyards, the peaceful ambiance, and the scenic views across the valley. The cellar tour was informative and the tasting was well organized, offering a variety of smooth selections. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience relaxed and enjoyable. It feels like the best winery near me and a top choice among Sonoma wineries.”

“The wine was amazing, and equally importantly, we learned a ton from Reed about the art of wine appreciation. He met us where we are from a learning perspective with curiosity and without judgement. Really nice atmosphere, will return again!”

“Had lunch for the first time here today, a delicious one! The menu is huge, so I look forward to trying so many of their authentic dishes. Happy to have them in Healdsburg. -Ali Story”

“Enjoyed a beautiful lunch on the patio. Everything was amazing. Dishes seemed familiar but were done with such grace, perfect spice profile and a full spectrum of textures. Super good.”

“As this place is a pub, good bar, pool table, other games to be played around the edges. Good music from the DJ booth and a very comfortable laid-back atmosphere”

“Porter Creek Winery was such a peaceful gem and one of the highlights of our wine country trip. The team (Crystal) went above and beyond to accommodate us, even staying a little late so we could enjoy the experience — and we’re so grateful they did!

The setting was absolutely stunning — quiet, serene, and surrounded by natural beauty. It was the kind of view that makes you want to take a deep breath and stay a while. The wines were just as memorable, especially the Zinfandels — rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced.

To top it all off, we were greeted by Poppy, the sweetest dog who made the whole experience even more charming. Between the warm hospitality, the incredible wines, and the peaceful ambiance, it was the perfect way to wind down our day.

Highly recommend Porter Creek for anyone looking for a relaxing, intimate tasting experience with a personal touch.”

“So good! The pulled pork slaps and they had a very tasty, interesting take on potato salad. The man taking our order was friendly, too. Stop by!”

“Fun time. Awesome grounds too.”

“They have MY favorite clam chowder on the bay.”

“full of love, great wine delicious oysters and amazing people 5/5”

“Amazing wine tasting in a natural beautiful environment”

“Amazing, thoughtful, made with love, authentic food with an East Coast flare! I loved all of the wood fired pizza that I tried and the cannoli was excellent. MUST TRY - The Grandma and The Brooklyn. Not to mention this business is family owned and run. Can't wait to return ASAP.”

“We had an awesome tasting yesterday at this amazing winery. Robin was very friendly and excited about the different types of wines. She explained all the options throughly. We can not wait to get back home to try our selections for different dinners. Thanks again for everything.”

“Best ice cream around -! And a wonderful family to support”

“Everything on the menu is delicious 😋”

“So good! The Lox Toast was excellent and the super seed bread was to die for. I’d love the recipe.”

“Nightingale’s Is the best bread ever and their cookies are divine. The Batard is one of my favorite breads ever. My husband bought A baguette and I made homemade bruschetta. Homegrown tomatoes basil. Love this summer treat.”

“Very great experience. My cousin and I tried the Hot Mama, I think it was called, a mushroom mocha. It was delicious and we enjoyed sitting in the garden on a lovely October day. The woman who helped us was really nice!”

“Great food and lots of it. It’s all good but my favorite is minestrone. Filled with veggies in a wonderful tomato broth. I always get at least one quart to go to eat throughout the week. Don’t forget the cookies”
