Best Restaurants that are Worth The Drive in Monte Rio

Great recommendations from our server! The four of us loved every bite, the service and fun vibe.

Excellent flavors and elegant plating. We had two bottles of Portuguese wine which were tasty, complimented the food and was reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and attentive. We plan on going back.

This is always my favorite restaurant in Sonoma County.

The exec chefs are a married couple, one from Brazil and one from Argentina. Their food is so brilliant and just tasted so good! The sourdough is incredibly soft and the crust is so delicate but crunchy. We loved the scallops and the polenta. Everything tasted so special and different than how we've had it before. Meghan was our server and we felt so cared for! She brought us out so many different types of tastings of wines and we settled on an amazing Argentinian Chenin-Blanc! The only note we had was one of the servers (not Meghan) came by and asked us to identify our ethnicities and proceeded to share tropes that she identified with them. We felt extremely uncomfortable. Meghan kindly came by afterwards to apologize and check in on us. But we did hope that other diners in the future will not have to experience that. We would love to come back and experience the food in the future but hope that this is addressed.

What a hidden gem! From the service to the food, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
