24 Best American Restaurants near Rio Nido

“Awesome diamond in the rough. Great food, friendly staff and all round great atmosphere.“

“This is another amazing 3- Michelin-star experience in the Bay Area. It is quite impressive that a lot of the ingredients are seasonal and from their farm. The menu is heavily influenced by Japanese cuisines, so there are a lot of high quality fresh fish and vegetables. Their "first course" was the best for me. It consisted of 12 mini appetizers that were insanely delicious. The mushroom rice before desserts was another highlight as well. Service and ambiance are top-notch. Single Thread is well worth a trip to Healdsburg.“

“Food exceptional - fresh, bright and well composed General Manager asked us how we found the experience, to which we replied “great” He responded with “What could we do to make it better” - I appreciated that! Bit loud and tables closer together than I like. Wine list very local focused and a bit over priced. Great experience would happily return“

“Now, my favorite restaurant in Healdsburg. The menu is varied but short: 1 fish, 1 red meat, 1 pork, 1 fowl, 1 vege, and a chef's choice, as is the by-the-glass wine list. The bottled wine list is extensive. The service, the presentation, the food was, in a word, "perfect." The appetizers are imaginative. I loved the caviar served with creme fresh and seared threads of leaks. The duck breast was the best I have ever had: pink and warm on the inside with the skin seared to a crust with essentially no fat. The deserts were hard to choose from. We could tell that the staff, including the chef and owner are all proud of what they have and do. Expensive but not the most expensive in town. We are looking forward to going back.“

“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.“

“Overall lovely experience. Although the service was slightly slower , the server was busy and super kind and knowledgeable which made up for it. The only thing I would say, is the lighting in the inner dining room should be dimmed during dinner service to create a bit more warmth and ambiance.“

“Impressive venue, spectacular location. Just a few minutes from a beautifully designed Healdsburgh square. The restaurant is located in a historic mansion, warm and inviting upon entry. The staff is well trained, engaging but not over the top. Great selection of wines, I would like to see more of mid priced choices. All the dishes were well presented and proportioned. I was impressed how the chef made all the ingredients work in harmony. My appetizer and main dish were salty, next time I will ask for no added salt. The carrot cake for dessert was just plain. The added raisins did not elevate it, not comparable to my other dishes. A banal way to finish an otherwise fabulous meal. I will go back and I recommend it highly.“

“Our experience was absolutely incredible. Letisha helped setup the perfect itinerary a month before our stay and was spot on! She was fantastic to work with and made our stay special. Everyone on staff was professional and held their service to the highest standards. The property, rooms, and dining were top notch. I would recommend Farmhouse Inn to anyone.Make sure to utilize the free wine tastings you get as being a guest of Farmhouse inn. In addition, they will arrange a driver for dinners in Healdsburg so you can focus on the experience. Make sure to give a tip!“

“This place is always amazing in service and food. Everything is so good and the service is exceptional. They really care for customers and it's such an inviting place and feel. The guernville omelet is amazing and the recommendation to try the chorizo just made it so much better. Always will recommend this gem!! Go if you like being happy.“

“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.“

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

“I went to lunch here with a group of women and it's very pretty and very clean and the food was very good. I'm from the East Coast and if you pay $14 for a sandwich you're going to be able to get easily two lunches out of that sandwich. Even though the sandwich at Korbell was very good it was on the small side for that much money.“

“This hotel had everything we needed for a stay in wine country. We loved that it was right on the river with beautiful views. The bar was lovely and they had very nice food at the restaurant. The only knock I would say was the food service was really slow.“

“Went for drinks and appetizers for my birthday last week! The manager Javier was super nice. Our server Diana took real good care of us. We had some fabulous food! It was a Monday so it was 1.00 day Oysters! My boyfriend had those and said they were the best he has ever had!.. I indulged in the Crab Cakes!! Wow!! Karen the bartender made me a great drink, Flower Girl. Was sooo good. The staff was super nice and brought out a small cheesecake with a candle! So sweet. Thank you to everyone. Rooftop was great and will definitely be back. Cheers~ Christine & Jason“

“We have never been to this area before and didn't know of any restaurants. Thank God my daughter found this restaurant on Google. This is a truly five star. The menu has unique ingredients so perfectly combined and designed. The taste of the 4 different dishes we got were truly unique. Ingredients were super fresh. We loved it. Service was very nice, no throwing the plates or silverware. They were placed in the right place. Thank you Boon for a truly nice experience. Was it cheap? No, but good food comes with a price that I am willing to pay. Congrats to the owner and chef Crista Luedtke“

“Best burger place ever. I love the service me and all the kids at school love joe and all the workers. Fairly cheap we love Carr's no matter how old we get we will always come by and get my usual, specialty fry's and a good al large lemonade, and sometimes a cookies and cream shake if you don't like Carr's there is something wrong with you.“

“The food here is amazing. Also the smoothies as well. Yes it's not cheap. But you are paying for quality not quantity. Customer service is very good. The location is good. Atmosphere is very nice. The two times I have gone here I have sat outside. First time was during Covid and the second time was last Saturday.“

“Highly recommend boon eat + drink! We heard that if we come around 6-7pm on the weekend that there would be a long wait. We went about 10 minutes after opening on Sunday evening, and there were already 2 tables seated. The staff were so nice and attentive. There are two sections to the restaurant: indoors and a covered, heated patio area (they provide blankets). My only small complaint is that some of the tables are close together--I guess that really adds to the cozy vibe. The food was outstanding! In each dish, the different components of the dish balanced each other so well (sweetness + salty + tartness). That made the dishes feel less heavy. Appetizers: *BURRATA cranberry compote | pears | spiced walnuts | grilled bread 9/10 *CAULIFLOWER | sriracha vinaigrette | currant | sesame 8/10 (they ran out of brussel sprouts but the cauliflower was delicious) Mains: *seared DUCK BREAST | cauliflower puree | apricot marmalade | fried kale | pomegranate glaze 10000/10 *chili braised niman PORK shoulder | creamy polenta | fiesta slaw | ricotta salata + pepitas 7/10 They also had an assortment of alcohol to pair with your food :)“

“Great Guerneville stop. Great food at great prices. Attention to detail is great, like the spoon holder for your coffee stirrer so it doesn't rest on the table...good size portions of quality ingredients for a great price. The staff is bilingual, attentive and efficient. You can tell this place appreciates and values their customers, a rarity these days which makes all the difference!“

“Nimble & Finn’s is a gem of a place that offers artisanal ice cream made with organic dairy and fresh ingredients. The sisters behind this business, Leandra and Jazmin, are passionate about creating unique and delicious flavors that reflect the seasons and the local produce. They also make their own jams, cakes, and candy to add to their ice cream creations.I visited their scoop shop in the Guerneville Bank Club, a historic building that also houses a bakery, a coffee shop, and a museum. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff was friendly and helpful. I tried the honey lavender and the brown butter pecan flavors, and they were both amazing. The honey lavender was light and floral, while the brown butter pecan was rich and nutty. The ice cream was creamy and smooth, and the portions were generous.I also noticed that they offer ice cream cocktails and ice cream cakes, which sounded intriguing. I would love to come back and try them someday. Nimble & Finn’s is definitely one of the best ice cream places I have ever been to, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves ice cream and wants to support a local business.“

“This place is awesome! My friend and I stopped here kinda randomly and were both impressed. We were greeted by friendly staff and even invited to bring our dog along since they have outdoor seating with plenty of room and atmosphere. I saw an area for corn hole as well. It seems like a great place for large groups. The food was tasty and the beer was so good! I'm excited to come back here next time I'm in town. Shout out to our waiter who was so nice and accommodating! Thank you!“

“Good experience Good food and drink Great atmosphere“

“This is one of the best hamburger restaurants I have ever been . The hamburgers are hand pattied with real beef and cooked to perfection . Usually when I ask for medium well the outside is charred but this was done in the middle ,but not burnt on the outside . My husband asked for medium and was cooked perfectly well with a little pink . The French fries are hand cut , not frozen and also cooked perfectly . My husband ordered a chocolate shake and was full of chocolate and also made fresh from ice cream and not ice milk or milkshake machine . The staff was friendly and helpful with ordering . The restaurant offers indoor or outdoor seating. We were looking for someplace quick but never expected a gourmet burger and fries. I recommend you eat here for excellent homemade burgers and fries!“

“I was hosting a birthday weekend at the Russian River. Spent a day canoeing (love Burke's Canoes!) and had asked the R3 to set up tables for my group of about 30. It couldn't have been more perfect! They set up the chairs behind the bar and we just had a terrific, day-after-the-river happy hour. Ron the bartender was fantastic and thoughtful. I can't recommend the place highly enough. Thanks, guys, for a memorable 60th!Also, we had the appetizers catered from the adjacent restaurant, the Rio Bistro. Paul and Christina did a fantastic job. We picked 5 apps, they served them hot -- just terrific service. Just a perfect day.“
