New American Restaurants near Monte Rio, CA

“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.“

“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.“

“I don’t typically rate restaurants, but we had to after eating here! The food was outstanding! Everything paired well, was cooked perfectly and was well beyond our expectations. The service was quick and everyone there was very friendly and welcoming! We will absolutely be back! 10/10 recommend!“

“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.🥰“

“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.“

“Everything. Food, drinks, location and locals.“

“We had the best chowder which was loaded with crab and scallops and split a crab sandwich. It couldn’t have been better. So glad we stopped here instead of at the crowded place further down the bay with long lines and a few picnic tables. We had yummy food and a view“

“Enjoyed everything. Staff especially John!“

“Great Sunday Brunch! Outdoor dining was lovely. So glad we found Dawn Ranch. Food was excellent, service prompt and friendly.“

“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“

“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.“

“Plenty of seating. Tables were clean. Good service. We ordered the fish and chips, prawns and chips and onion rings. The fish was extremely bland. Fries were good. Prawns were really good as were the onion rings. We enjoyed the view. Probably won't be back as there are way better places in Bodega to get fish and chips.“

“The Tides Wharf is one of our favorite restaurants to eat at whenever we are in Bodega or driving through! We love the fish tacos and the lemon bars from the bakery! We love sitting along the waters edge and watching the seals!

Dietary restrictions: My son has developmental disabilities and doesn’t like spicy food or his food to touch and they were able to make it just like wanted… he had calamari, shrimp and a burger!“
