30 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Monte Rio

“A perfect cafe, if such a thing can exist. Warm, wonderful, artful space with cool art and a great outdoor space. A great Skatepark right next to the cafe surrounded by redwood trees. The owners are the sweetest couple, the food is SO GOOD. Try the Beach Laffa, you’ll be glad you did. This is the only place in a 50 mile radius that can make a perfect Oatmilk cappuccino.“

“Not only was at the best, gluten-free scone I’ve ever had in my life, it was the best scone I have ever had in my life in general! Blueberries and orange icing on it was amazing, the workers there were so welcoming and lovely. My iced latte was delicious, and I totally went to this place on a whim, but I will definitely be going back! It was also exciting to see that on St. Patrick’s Day they had gluten free Irish soda bread, and it was also delicious! It is not celiac friendly; however, if you don’t mind Cross contamination and are just gluten intolerant I definitely recommend this place! Or if anything stop by for the coffee/tea!“

“A very cozy and relaxing stay for me and my husband. We came on a weekend where the river was exceedingly high and the weather was bad but we loved being able to stay warm in the hotel. German food dinner was incredible, the hosts were kind, great beer. A nice continental breakfast in the morning. Highly recommend!“

“On March 15th at 6:30PM I walked into Northwood. Little did I know my life would change forever. Who ever was working the frier that night give them a raise! Clearly a person who is ain't anxious and is willing to let those little onion rings get to a beautiful glorious brown color. These were hands down the best onion rings of my life. Crunchy! Tasty!When you bite into them, I don't drag out the whole onion, this is key! The sign of a great cook working the frier! Thanks for changing my world.“

“Wood fire pizzas are finger-licking good. The crust was excellent. I could not stop eating. Nice, newly renovated or newly opened location (I am not from the area so I’m not sure). We tried a couple of pizzas and the house salad and everything was delicious.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Everything we have tried has been delicious! The people who work there are so nice and lovely to talk to despite the place being super busy on the weekend. Every time we are around that area we stop at wild flour.“

“We didn't get to spend as much time at MacRostie than we probably would have liked, but my friend dumped a whole glass of red wine right onto his pants. But our time there with Corey was great. He was very friendly and welcoming, and explained a lot about the various wines we tried. He procured a charcuterie box for us as we were starving around lunch time and it really hit the spot. We sat outside looking towards the road and it was a beautiful day. Overall an excellent experience.“

“Another amazing restaurant in Healdsburg. We loved the global creativity of the dishes, the elegant cocktails, and the fun atmosphere. The service was exceptional too. We sat at the bar (I thought I’d made a reservation but hadn’t) and we were glad to be there. The folks behind the bar were engaging and interesting. We had the two specials (a crudo and the croquette) and the dry rubbed ribs and French fries. Each dish was unique and clever. It’s going to be hard not going back every time we are in town.“

“The food was so delicious! We had the margarita pizza...beautiful presentation, the crust is thin and let the flavors from the mozzarella, tomatoes and basil be the stars of the meal. Get the peanut butter pie for dessert! Enough to share with you table mates. Service was great! Very friendly staff who knew their menu's flavors.“

“When you pull up and look at the building, it's a bit of a head-scratcher. It's very non-de script, with a couple apartments as part of it. The small restaurant is upstairs, and Larry, the owner, is as nice as can be. Larry is hard to miss -- he's the 7' tall guy in the room. :-) I went for prime rib night and both the food and drinks were great. It's a pleasant little space with a dedicated bar on one side.“

“My friend and I were in Occidental CA. Wanting to go to Bodega Bay 1/2 drive for lunch at the Fisherman's Cove, the place that people rave about. Now I know why LOL. A really cute place with both indoor, patio seating and stools by a counter to look out at the bay. We arrived around 3:30 PM and got super lucking with parking. A car was pulling out as we entered. When you walk in, it's like a country store, that serves food. Menu is on the wall along with a board with specials. You order and pay at the counter. You are given a number that your food get delivered to wherever you are seating. We decided on the Calamari and Chips, Dozen Raw Oysters and a couple of ice cold Lagunitas IPA. I tell you these oysters I had were so fresh, fairly big, creamy and delicious. The calamari, light, crispy and perfectly fried! We say at the window counter eating while admiring the beautiful view if Bodega Bay. Atmosphere: Off the dock seafood feel. Service: excellent. Food: excellent.“

“BACA is a beautiful winery, with gorgeous views to supplement the wine! My friends and I had high expectations, and they were well met - it was a fantastic experience, thanks to our amazing guide Eric, who was very knowledgeable and took us through a delicious and informative tasting. I highly recommend checking out BACA for the wine, the experience, the service and the atmosphere“

“Foam on the short pull espresso was phenomenal paired alongside a Nutella croissant topped with toasted almonds and powder sugar on a Tuesday morning followed by a brief read of a book. Nothing like the patio where it all conjured a memorable experience. May this place remain a gem on the way to the Oceanside.“

“A most memorable tasting experience always: exceptional wines, a superbly knowledgeable team, and beautiful tasting room. Joseph Jewell Winery consistently over delivers and exceeds expectations by offering superior customer service, ethereal wines ranging from Ritchie Vineyard Chardonnay to single vineyard Pinot Noirs that can age beautifully yet be delicious when young. Highest compliments to winemaker Adrian for his stellar hospitality, dedicated artistry, and resourcefulness in finding terrific grapes from a broad range of appellations. Grateful Cheers to Joseph Jewell Winery!“

“I haven't been here in years...and this time I've brought my kids! A very nice & patient man helped us with our ice cream order. We tried the peanut butter chocolate, mint chocolate chip, cookies'n'cream, & chocolate. ALL of it was still delicious & refreshing (good sized scoops too)! There's a good group of outdoor tables to sit at. We'll definitely be back when we're in the area again.“

“Love this spot! Super cute tasting room in a shared complex with great wines and ambiance! Started by an incredible husband-and-wife team, Smith Story wines are so thoughtfully made and really overdeliver for the price. I loved the new Filigreen Farm Pinot Noir, and the Cab Franc and Sparkling are always in my rotation. The tasting room itself is a super cute space. Dusty provided us with excellent service and knowledge, ensuring we had a ton of fun on our stop. There are quite a few different places to sit and there's a wood-fired pizza stand in the complex, if you want to eat while you taste. Definitely check out Ali's curation of vintage glassware while you're there (if only I could've taken it all home with me), and take a pic with the mural wall on the patio. My only regret is that I don't live in the area to make Smith Story my regular hangout!“

“Best ribs and pulled pork in Northern California! We wish they would do brisket, but the meats are amazing! This is a style unlike any other bbq in the country.We drove 50 minutes for this bbq and we will do it every time we are craving ribs and pulled pork.The owner and his family are the nicest people you would ever meet and you will not be disappointed!Remember this bbq is his own style and delicious!“

“I stopped in for lunch and had a great experience. All the staff members I interacted with were very nice and my order had a quick turnaround time. Their chicken salad sandwich is awesome!The overall atmosphere was fun; plenty of drinks and snacks to choose from, lots of indoor and outdoor seating, and they even have a small shop filled with classic toys and candy.I can'r recommend this place enough. If you're ever in Guerneville, be sure to drop by.“

“I found this Beautiful Place cozy and warm.Is being almost a Year I went for my coffee and pastries.If I have chance I will go every single day.I love this Coffee Shop And the Grocery Store next to the Coffee shop.I highly recommend.Please support small business.Vegetarian options: You will love it.Kid-friendliness: Kids friendlyParking: You can park right in front.Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessibleDietary restrictions: They have selection for everyone.“

“Visiting from Boston and came to Sonoma for the day. We came to Bacchus landing. Montagne Russe is the best winery we’ve been to. Kevin Bersofsky is the wine maker and makes the best wine. If you like white, if you like red, come to this place. You’ll learn a lot, drink phenomenal wine, and leave in a better mood than you came in with. Love this place!!“

“I've wanted to go here for a long time - it's as good as they say. Lovely windy day but nice sunny seating outside. We were lucky as the wait wasn't long at all this day. A gang of gals went - several had the crab sandwich and traved about it. Several had fries - pretty good but not super crispy. I had the fish tacos - good but could have used a bit some "tang" in the slaw. I also had a bowl of their clam chowder - god but a bit more "fishy" tasting then I'm used to. but lots of yummy choices - we will be back!“

“We stopped here to get some fresh crab. We had the crab/shrimp sandwich, which was delicious. They also have a clam chowder that you can mix the white and the red soup together. This is just perfect because it isn't too rich and has more flavor. Luckily we went right at 11:00 am when it opened because it started to get real busy. Definitly would return again.“

“I stopped by for lunch on a sunny day and this was a home run. The Hitchcock wink just gilds this very pleasant spot. The Birds sits right off the water with multiple levels of scenic, outdoor seating wrapped around the little kitchen where you order and pick up. Pass the single stall bathroom, and you'll find an adjacent building set up as a coffee shop. The menu is simple, but effective. Fish Tacos: Loved them. The fish has a light, crisp batter. They're served with shredded cabbage, fresh pico de gallo, and an avocado sauce on top. Two hearty tacos to an order and so good. Artichoke Fritters: I know this is county fair food, but I loved these. I thought they might be heavy, but they were actually pretty crunchy, frilly, and delicate. They're good with the ranch on the side and a little hot sauce. The portion is honestly giant which is fun. I took my leftovers home and enjoyed them again that night!“

“Located on the bank of the Russian River, next to the highway, with limited parking spaces, beautiful scenery, water and sky. Eat lunch while watching waterfowl hunting.Parking: Slow down in advance on the roadside to see if there is a parking space“

“What a gem! This family owned business extends a loving seat to everyone who walks in the door and the amazing ravioli and service makes you feel as if your own Nona is giving you cooking tips and wont let you leave her home until she's sure you have enough meat on your bones to last you through a cold winter.“

“I can't say enough about the deli portion of Korbel. On a beautiful day, you cannot go wrong here. From the sandwiches to the salads, different bottles of champagne's, amazing view and amazing staff...this is a win win. I may be bias because this is 10 minutes from my house and I frequent here...I also don't think so. It's a gem. Enjoy.“

“Took a trip to Bodega Bay with my girlfriend for the weekend, and we stumbled across this little gem! The food here was EXCELLENT: the Crab Cakes we both agreed were the best we've ever had, I got the Clam Chowder which was delicious but could've been served a bit warmer, the Grilled Oysters were so fresh and delicious, and my girlfriend really enjoyed the Wood Fired Grilled Mushrooms and the Winter Salad. The wine was also good but we came here for the food! The staff was very friendly and attentive throughout our meal and we loved our outdoor seating overlooking Bodega Bay. Loved this place, it was a great surprise to start our trip! Have been recommending this restaurant to my friends n family and also you, yelp user!“

“Arista was an excellent experience! The grounds are breathtaking and intimate, and the wine selection was fantastic. Rhonda was very knowledgeable and helped us learn about what we were drinking. We absolutely loved our time at Arista and I very much look forward to returning next time I'm in Sonoma County.“

“This family owned and operated bakery is s true gem.Mark channels her passion for fine things in life with love and care. The baked goods for the Sunday farmers market are legendary and company is always great.Come for bakery, Friday pizza night, the bed and breakfast...“

“We were visiting Healdsburg from Alberta, Canada and came here a week ago for a wine tasting to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We absolutely loved our experience here! Our host Keith was very knowledgeable about the regions and the wine themselves and was such a pleasure to chat with as we sampled the Twomey and Silver Oak wines. We loved that he allowed us to experience the flavours at our own pace and it made the tasting all the more better! The views from this place were simply fantastic and the staff were warm, welcoming and accommodating. We hope to be back soon one day.“
