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!”

“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”

“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.”

“This is our second time to have dinner at this hidden gem in Bodega Bay. The service and food are exceptional. I had Halibut and my husband had the pasta dish. I think this is the best halibut I have ever eaten. My husband also raved about his pasta dish. Don't forget to order the bread, also delicious. Finished off our dinner with a wonderful chocolate cake.”

“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 !”

“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.”

“The ultimate delicious food exists in a quiet corner. I think no one would refuse to have dinner with the family in such a quiet environment.🥰”

“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!”

“This place is so good! Waiting in line is worth it. I don’t even love scones but everything I tried here was life changing. The cheese bread was warm and melty. The baked goods + the garden + the wind chimes + the sunshine healed me. I will come back”

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

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

“It is very rare that I am transported back to India when visiting an Indian food establishment in the US, but that's exactly what I experienced today. I am so happy right now!! 🙂

My wife ordered Pakodas and Samosas and I ordered their Chicken Curry Combo. We capped it off with their one of a kind Yam Halwa and Masala Chai.

Drinking the piping hot chai with shehnai playing in the background on a wintry day really transported me back to India.

Last but not least, the service was like back home with a big smile and even bigger heart! Dil se...

Btw - Jay is not only a great cook, he is even a great singer, and treated me to a few lines from a golden oldie Bollywood song.

Do yourself a favor - give Jay's a visit and order a combo of your choice with masala chai, or just ask for their recommendations.”

“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.”

“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!”

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

“Always one of our favorite places to eat fish and chips! Fresh, delicious and plentiful!!!!”

“Great food and excellent service! Korean Beef Tacos were excellent. And the pork chop was one of the best I’ve had.”

“Really enjoyed our tasting! I think it was Stacey that hosted us and she did a great job of explaining all the wines and schooling us newbs on the basics. Loved the rosé and Grenache (which we came home with).”

“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!”

“I wish I had pictures. The perfect burrito is all I can say. Been eating here for years and it’s never missed. I literally can’t drive through town without eating here if it’s open.”

“I saw the price of a breakfast burrito and almost walked out ???

But im glad i didnt. Coffee was AMAZING
(Dirty chai) and good food.

Wonderful service, very welcoming. All in all would recommend to anyone visiting the area.”

“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!”

“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”

“My parents visited here during their last visit and enjoyed talking with the owner. Despite the basic flavors, the ice cream was creamy and flavorful with huge scoops. The owner was just as friendly and talkative, making us feel welcome in the area.”

“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.”

“The Banh Mi and Fried Tofu sandwiches were excellent. The focaccia is fluffy and crisp, and the cornmeal dredged tofu was unique and very well prepared. Prices aren’t listed on their website but it came out to $18-$24 per person. Perfect spot for after a beach day.”

“Cleanest restaurant anywhere! Friendly owner's treat everyone like family. Croissants and scones are so good...and I love there coffee.”
