33 Best American Restaurants near Monte Rio

“Super charming resort on the Russian River. Loved the kayaks available to use. Views are great and plenty of places to sit, sip and enjoy. Rooms are updated and clean with very small bathroom in room. Be patient with getting hot water for the shower. It takes a while but is done when it arrives. Restaurant was really good.“

“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.“

“Quaint, cozy and clean restaurant. Food offerings/menu choices were excellent. Flavor of crab cake, duck and wagu beef dishes were superb. Bread pudding and chocolate cake was a disappointment. Service was a little melancholy. Made a reservation for 2 celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary (noted in the reservation). The person seating us first offered us a table for 4 that was in way of the front door. Possibly saw our reluctance, proceeded to offer us a small table for 2 in a corner, which was a lot better. Overall great experience.“

“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.🥰“

“Service was exceptional! Craft cocktails were very good. I had the gnocchi with duck breast and it was very good. Wife’s fish was dry and had a slight fishy taste/smell. Perfect weather to sit on the porch with a nice view. Sommelier was great and paired our meals well.“

“Eat here often and the food is always excellent- today we came for the locals release of Pliny the Younger on tap. Only stood in the rain for a couple minutes, LOL! Then I got under the canopy 😆“

“Quick excellent service, great food at reasonable prices. We were a walk in group of 12 and it didn’t phase them at all. 💜“

“Friendly service. Was a bit of a lunch rush so it was a bit of a wait. The chicken salad sandwich on Dutch crunch was a perfect lunch on the beach. They do have a nice patio to also eat on. There are some gift items and snacks for purchase along the register as well. Easy parking as well.“

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

“This used to be THE hangout spot for the nearby high school... until it closed for budgetary reasons a couple of years ago. :-( There are still a lot of teens here around 3pm; maybe they get bussed nearby? Still staffed and frequented by teens and if you grew up in the 1970s like I did you will appreciate the vibe. Cheap burgers, shakes & fries, but NOT McD's. Very much an anachronism, but please support it. It's a treasure.“

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

“Good food, decent price and very friendly staff! Highly recommend‼️“

“My friend and I shared a wine tasting which consisted of three small glasses of tasting size. You get to pick the three wines that you want. Not a huge selection., but works. We decided to eat there and I got the crabcakes which were pretty tasty a spicy sauce on top, and there were bell peppers and with the crabcakes. My friend got salmon with the skin was very crispy which he likes but the inside was too rare and he had to ask them to cook it more. It came back, still a bit too rare, and we fed that to the seagulls….The couscous salad that came with it was the best thing of all. I would not run back there but if you’re hungry and in that exact area, it’s a convenient place to grab a bite to eat. They have a couple of different patios outside, and the staff was very friendly. The one remark my friend said was that if they’re going to leave the salmon that raw like they said they usually do, they should ask people how they like it cooked. He loves sushi, but it was too rare for him being that it was salmon. It was a great day to get away from the high heat of Sonoma. We went from the 90s to the 60s wearing a jacket. He had never gone by the school house from Alford Hitchcock The Birds, so we did that on the way out.“

“Wonderful staff,enjoyed it a lot🥘😃“

“Great selection of food, wonderful service (all staff was extremely friendly), and an AMAZING view!!! Beef brisket sandwich was delicious & so was their clam chowder. The owner was very personable & so was the lady at the front counter. Will be back again! And my kids loved the magnets.“

“I found this place while on vacation with my family and they insisted on coming back here every day of our trip.

This place makes some really unusual and delicious flavors like coriander raspberry and honey rose cardamom. I also loved the texture of the ice cream; it's light and not overly creamy or sticky.“

“The omelettes are light, creamy & tasty 👍“

“Very much enjoyed my time at the casino bar and Grill. The bartenders were very kind and Fantabulous at their job. The tamale pie was awesome. Love that it was a place where locals go. I felt like I was back in time when the days were Grandioso.“

“Mellow and relaxing place. Visited there when I was on vacation, one of my favorite places“

“This place is outstanding! I had the Mexican mocha. It was so creamy and delicious. I’m literally asking myself why I go to SBUX. I had the big breakfast burrito. Was enough for me and my daughter. I love that they grill the burrito. Reminds me of home. (Texas) We had black iced coffee. Very good flavor. Hot chocolate was so good too. My husband had the 2 sunny side up eggs on sourdough. We love coming to Guerneville on the weekends to kayak. And now we have an excellent coffee and breakfast stop! Thank you ladies, for a wonderful experience. Will see you again, real soon.“

“Wednesday is fried chicken night. Due to a mis-print on the menu we were upgraded to the crab cake. It was EXCELLENT.

The beet salad was the star of the night. Fresh, large portion, killer flavors.

Service here was the best. Quick and attentive.

I had there version of an old fashion and it was nice. The spicy margarita was bomb.

The fried chicken was good, not great. A little over cooked.“

“Pro tip: don’t use the car wash next door it’s a dump.

Stumptown however… AMAZING pit stop. My wife and I stop here every time we’re in the area. Currently sitting down for our second time in two days as we enjoy a getaway to the river.

Food is on point. I don’t drink but they have excellent NA options (especially for a brewery). AND I know the beer they make is good too because I used to drink it years ago.

Wings are a delight. As someone who grew up not far from Buffalo NY, these are as official as wings can get in California.

Today we had the pork tacos and they were SO GOOD.

I will be back for many years to come.“
