32 Best American Restaurants near Rio Nido

“Went for live music and had amazing bbq’d burgers made on the grill in front of me. Friendly staff, great food, excellent music. They were knowledgeable and able to accommodate my celiac requirements. Highly recommend!“

“We had a great prix fixe meal of 3 courses but the also offer 5 courses. No bad selections except for the cauliflower steak. I don’t think that is worth a steak or shrimp pasta but that is my opinion. Outdoor dining is available and they have heaters by the wall of sliding windows that open up totally he outside. Awesome deserts. I had the cookie butter cheesecake. I died and went to heaven.“

“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.“

“If you want to spend an evening experiencing what refined hospitality actually feels like when it’s dialed up to an eleven, SingleThread Restaurant is a masterclass.

Attempting to catalog every single bite of this meal would feel excessive, but it’s easily one of the most creatively executed menus you’ll encounter. It kicks off with a massive, 10-bite floral explosion of flavors that sets a staggering benchmark for the night—even if the baby squid bite was a rare miss for me. As someone who doesn't typically lean toward seafood, I still thoroughly enjoyed the entire progression without making a single modification, though I’ll freely admit the dessert course walked away as my absolute favorite part of the night.

To accompany the food, you’ll be presented with three wine pairing tiers: $300, $500, and a casual $1,500 per person. We opted for the mid-tier, and in retrospect, the nuances might have been slightly lost on us—we likely would have been just as happy sticking to the entry-level option. That said, every pour was beautifully matched and elevated the courses perfectly.

The dining room itself is gorgeous, sophisticated, and incredibly relaxing, anchored by stunning floral arrangements that make the space feel alive. Just be prepared for the service: the staff operates with some serious, ultra-soothing ASMR vibes. It’s so calming that you can easily fall into a lull, so don't feel bad if you have to ask them to repeat themselves. It’s an exceptional experience from start to finish.“

“Valette is the kind of restaurant that reminds you why dining out is an experience, not just a meal. The Day Boat Scallops en Croûte is an absolute showstopper—encased in a delicate, golden pastry, it arrives at the table with a dramatic tableside pour of velvety sauce. The result? A perfect balance of buttery richness and ocean-fresh sweetness. Another amazing is the Sashimi Grade Hawaiian Ahi Poke Style. This is not your ordinary poki as it is made with 24 Month Barrel Aged Soy. The level of freshness of the fish truly comes through as the flavors blend perfectly with the crisp avocado. It is a fine line when adding a flash fried avocado to a dish that’s usually served cold. Vallete executes it perfectly! For the main course, the Dry-Aged Duck is a must-try. Crispy skin, succulent meat, and a medley of locally sourced seasonal veggies. Dessert is not an afterthought here. Strongly Suggest even if we do not have room at the end we always order the ItsNotA ‘Snickers Bar’ Deux. Service is impeccable—attentive without being intrusive, and the staff exudes genuine passion for the food and wine they serve. We love the whole team but especially Aaron-Jake-Sean-Isaac are amazing !?!?“

It was of utmost importance to us that we especially acknowledge our server Dominic. He went above and beyond to take care of us and made sure we felt comfortable and satisfied. His regard for hospitality is unmatched. Thanks kindly from the newlyweds.“

“Boho Manor hosted our women's retreat this year and it was fabulous! We loved the moody, luxe vibe of the hotel and the lounge. We did a full venue buyout and it was so wonderful to be able to spread out and enjoy every nook and cranny of this beautiful hotel. Yoga overlooking the Russian River was one of the highlights. We saw a blue heron skimming the water, a mommy ducky swimming with her babies, and the sunrise was magnificent. The food was divine and the staff took such good care of us. We will definitely be back!“

Now I do get the same burger every time, but that’s because this place cannot miss

With a great options to the menu and even better dessert, this place has me waking up craving a burger every day

I feel like this is a hidden gem so if you’re ever in the area, this is a must stop“

“We were in Healdsburg for appointments. Finding a good place for breakfast was on our to-do list. Lots of good options. Today, Acorns Cafe looked like the best choice. We found a calm and peaceful place. The menu wasn't deep with options. What was there was excellent. Order at the counter and it's delivered to your table. Staff were friendly and helpful. We e joked our selections. Portions were fair. Felt a little expensive, $20 per person.“

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

“I am new to the area and exploring places to eat and hang out. I heard good things about this deli so I decided to check it out. As soon as you walk in it's a very fun, upscale, and friendly atmosphere. It would have been nice to hang out but I was working so I took my sandwich to go. The Vintner caught my eye so I ordered that. The woman at the register asked if I wanted to add avocado and I said of course 🥑. I took it back to my business along with an iced tea and OMG it was like a party in my mouth. The chicken salad was fresh and delicious, the Gorgonzola cheese give it a strong taste which I like, the spring mix was fresh and gave a great texture, and the sleeper of this whole sandwich is the grapes! The little pop of sweetness just makes the whole thing. It was a huge sandwich so I was just going to eat half but then I ate the other half 😄. I'll be back to get this one again and to try their other selections“

“The golf course is beautiful, and dog friendly! We got paired up with some really nice locals, and the workers were extremely nice. We cannot wait to come back!“

“Just love their home cooked and hearty meals 💜“

“I always enjoy my time at the Jenner inn. The tree house cottage was the perfect, private space for a night of relaxation. The room has 1 queen bed a Kitchenette with a sink, mini fridge and microwave. Satellite Tv and WiFi. Looking forward to my next stay.“

“Delicious ice cream in creative flavors that rotate 😋. Today I had a waffle cone double with Earl Grey Blackberry and Creme Brulee 🤤. It was a warm day and several folks commented on it a I walked down the street! Bonus, it's located in a cool old bank building right downtown. Check it out 🍨.“

“Wonderful staff,enjoyed it a lot🥘😃“

“Healdsburg, worst kept secret. Best BBQ place in plain sight! It gets very busy over the weekends, but the table is always available without the wait. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Excellent service.“

“Food and service was excellent!“

“we all had the steak frites ribeye. was delicious and our server Lauren was perfect outside patio was Devine!! can't wait to come back!!!!“

“We love this place! The food is ALWAYS good; the service is always good, and we love that there is always a good band playing and we get to dance! Our first waiter was Ben and oh how we loved him so we always asked for him when we would go in. Sadly, Ben moved out of the area but then we got Danny! Another fantastic server and now we always ask for her! Can't vouch for the other servers but my guess would be that they are all good! Susie is the owner, and she is wonderful! She always mingles with her guests and even gets many of them up dancing! I hope she knows how much her regulars appreciate her! I'm so glad we found this place because we do not live out there. We live in Santa Rosa, and I must say it is always worth the trip out there for a great evening!“

“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.“

“It was good to go at five when they first opened. We had our choice of tables outside and the weather was lovely. Attentive, helpful wait staff and our server Liz helped make selections on wine and entrees. Spring salad and croquettes to start were delicious! Halibut and bucatini pasta surpassed expectations! Pasta so flavorful with the noodle textures perfect. Halibut presentation a thing of beauty served on a beautiful sauce with peas accompanied by tempura dipped asparagus! We finished every morsel! Coffee with the strawberry/rhubarb galette was pastry perfection only made better by a rich vanilla ice cream. The entire meal service was prompt and friendly! Never felt rushed. Timing of everything was intuitive and right on cue! We finished our amazing meal and enjoyed a stroll around the plaza! A perfect mean in an amazing setting!“

“Love this location and the brewery. Stumptown doesn't have the largest selection of beers but the ones they do have are all great.

It's a great spot to grab a drink and a bite to eat from either the kitchen or sometimes a food truck out front.

Very family and dog friendly. Occasionally they have live music.“
