30 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.“

“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.“

“We sat outside and there was almost no one there when we sat down, so it was beautiful and very quiet. As tables filled up it definitely got a little more noisy outside, but nothing like the indoors. Service was absolutely fantastic and the food was great too.“

“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.“

“We've eaten lunch here many times but not for several months. We were shocked to see the salad portion half the size it used to be, and the mushroom-cauliflower-squash veggie pizza had so very few vegetables, some cauliflower and mushroom pieces so tiny we couldn't see them. I would be embarrassed to take anyone else here.“

“We had a lovely time at the Madrona! From sipping cocktails on the beautiful wrap-around porch, to enjoying dinner in the outdoor room with views of the garden, to the incredible food, and the warm hospitality of the staff, we cannot wait to come back!!“

“I could not rave more about this place. The setting is so serene, the rooms are beautiful and have plenty of amenities (soaking tub, steam showers, everything in the room is complimentary aside from wine), the service was impeccable, and the spa was stunning. Everyone was so kind and accommodating, and there were so many personalized touches (a welcome sign with your name in the room and during my spa service). The food is incredible, as are the turn down service cookies. Overall, I am leaving feeling more peaceful and happy than when I arrived, and what more can one ask for! I will certainly be back and recommend this to anyone who is looking to stay in the Napa area.Rooms: I never wanted to leave! Incredibly clean, well maintained, great amenities. Would move in if I could!“

“Food so good, we came back a second time during our two-day stay in the area! Great selection of menu items, everything came out hot and fresh, and the staff are friendly and attentive.Parking: Parking on the street in front of the grill, or along the side at the bridge next to the grill.Wheelchair accessibility: No self opening door, but the restaurant is street level.“

“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 had an excellent meal here in March, and I would love to go back! My spouse had the chili-braised pork and I got the burger. I have some tricky dietary restrictions, and the waitstaff and kitchen were amazing at accommodating me. The burger was delicious and every single element, from the bun to the toppings to the meat, was delicious and worked together perfectly. My spouse still mentioned the braised pork as one of the best things he's eaten. This is definitely a place to go for a special meal out!“

“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.“

“Wendy and her staff never fail to impress. Very casual with great service and consitantly delicious food. When we order the burger, it's always the same, delicious. Last time I ordered the house special, The Cubano and it was one of the best I've had. The ham and pulled pork were housemade and tender. The Buffalo wings are always hot and crispy eventhough they have sause on them. Also, great beers on tap, outdoor seating and lovely grounds with Cornhole and horseshoes!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“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!“

“First time eating here! Good, healthy breakfast. Atmosphere and restaurant very nice. Servers on point and friendly!! We will return!“

“Hit this place on a road trip north. I was looking for outdoor dining options, and this place has a GREAT patio, even in the rain. We ordered the Garlic Ranch Burger combos with garlic fries. Big servings, and very delicious. Staff was also very friendly.“

“Good experience Good food and drink Great atmosphere“

“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.“

“We had a very good time with great food on 3/31/24 5pm. Originally we were to be 7 on the reservation, but last minute cancellations left us with only 5. Restaurant didn't bat an eye and treated us well. A bit disappointed they couldn't serve alcohol due to an issue with the license. Starter salads were very tasty and loved the salad dressing too. A seafood hot pot was a huge quite delicious portion shared by 2. The prime rib special had just come out of the oven so my husband was pleased to get the end cut - lovely mix of well done and medium with the right amount of meat & fat. No room for dessert but offerings looked good. First time dining here but won't be the last. The veggie & regular burgers were good but more average. Fries were super!“

“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.“

“Old Tavern feel, super friendly and attentive service. The food was fresh and perfectly prepared. Half way decent selection of beer and wine.We were there on Easter Sunday in the afternoon and ai believe there were maybe 2 other tables.I'd be a regular here if ai lived there. Highly recommend!“

“I love this cafe! Great local spot, that has all the joys of a local coffee shop like wifi, speciality drinks, and pastries. But on top of that, they also have tasty food options, including sandwiches, and good breakfast options (until 12:30pm).The staff is great, although it's not the fastest if you come while it's busy.If you are coming through Gurenville looking for a cafe, this is the place to stop by.“

“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.“
