Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions

The epicenter of Sonoma Coast dining ... the River's End is located in the quaint village of Jenner by the Sea about 20 minutes north of Bodega Bay. The restaurant is set on a bluff overlooking the Russian River spill into the Pacific Ocean. During lunch you can watch the Osprey dive in the river for fish or the harbor seals frolic at riverside. Dinner time is all about the sunset ... the show is worth the visit. Fortunately, the restaurant chefs and service staff aim to outdo the natural surroundings. The kitchen prepares California cuisine with a focus on local ingredients. Chef Martin Recoder prepares menus that are changing with the seasons and delight the heart. The service staff is led by Maitre d'/Owner Bert Rangel, who has owned and managed the restaurant for over 21 years. The Chefs in the Redwood Bar are talented and utilizes the freshest ingredients and classic techniques to create “Artisanal Cocktails”.

River’s End is our go to place to bring out of town guests. It has a lovely view and the food is always consistently good. The duck confit salad was great....the Mexican hamburger was fine and the fish and chips had a nice crispy coating without being overly fried.

Truly fantastic experience. During daylight the view is stunning. At dinner the food is stunning. Unquestionable the best overall cuisine and wine list in the North Coast.
