19 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!“

“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.“

“Thank you so much Season !Big thanks for showing us the ropes at the winery. Your wine wisdom was as rich as the reds we tasted. We came for the Pinot Noir, but stayed for your stories.Cheers to you for making our day a barrel of laughs!Best“

“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.“

“We come to Bodega several times a year and always eat out at least once each trip. A local recommended the Fishetarian and we're so glad she did! I had the fish tacos, fried and my friend had fried fish and calamari combo. Both were amazing!! Seasoned well, so fresh and huge portions!! This will definitely go on our places to go again and again!! Highly recommend this place!!!“

“Stopped by for lunch and enjoyed the clam chowder, fish stew (better of the two), and delicious crab sandwiches. The sandwiches were the highlight with lots of crab served on quality buns with a hint of dill from the sauce. Parking is limited and the line can get long, but the food and the staff are excellent!“

“We had a great time being back again. We loved having Rob for our wine tasting experience. He was super friendly and knowledgeable. We did the Napa tasting- soooo good. We got to try a few others as well. It was a really relaxing experience with incredible views. Rob was super accommodating to a pregnant member in our group. Very family friendly place!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!!“

“You have to go here if you visit Bodege Bay. We are obsessed with this place. Some of the biggest ice cream scoops I have ever had. Captain Davey himself works behind the counter and he does not fool around. He was giving it his all scooping ice cream for me and making amazing coffee with his very nice-looking espresso machine. If I lived here I would come once a week. This is a small place and its only one man so if you can go in the middle of the day you will avoid a line. There is not a lot of seating. The hot dog place next door let us use their bathroom.“

“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!“

“You're in Bodega Bay, and there's great clam chowder here. Spud is known for great chowder and lives up to its awards. It can be hard to find parking & be prepare to wait in line if it's high season or a weekend. There's not much seating, but you can take your food to go, sit at a place with a view of the bay around the marina. Also, they have fresh fish for sale, which is great but sells out quickly. Try the Chili it's good and still at great price.“

“If you're looking for a quieter, less well travelled winery, check out the Landmark Vineyards wine tasting room. It's a bit north of the wineries in Russian River/Santa Rosa, but the drive is quaint and the wines are fantastic. We found the tasting room to be laid back and relaxing -- we were the only ones present in the afternoon. There are several tables outside for enjoying the nice views outdoors. Landmark is owned by the Wonderful Company, who also own Justin Winery in Paso. They are known for their Pinot Noirs as well as Chardonnays. All are top notch wines. We purchased a Sonoma County Tasting Pass -- and Landmark Vineyards was on the list. explore.sonomacounty.com… I'd recommend purchasing this pass, as the cost of the pass is typically less than the cost to taste wine at nearly every Russian River winery!Definitely a nice spot for those who like Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varietals without the pretentiousness. Big thumbs up.“
