While we timed our visit for a beautiful sunset, the unpredictable fog rolled in and hid what probably would have been a fantastic view. We had eagerly anticipated our visit to the River's End after several of the wineries highly recommended it. The menu is limited to 6 entrees including Halibut, with a citrus salsa, Filet in a VERY heavy... more

We came here mainly for the views and just about everywhere you sit you can see the sun setting over the pacific. We were lucky that it was not a foggy day! The food was very good and the clam chowder is fantastic. I did find the pasta a bit rich as it had truffle in the sauce so if... more

We've had dinner at the River's End three times now (over the last three years), and each experience was wonderful. First off, a commentary about the location. The restaurant sits on a cliff overlooking the Russian River & Pacific. The town of Jenner has a population of 124, and the closest major town is Santa Rosa (an hour's drive). Given... more

This restaurant doesn't look much from the outside as walk in and parking is limited. However, the food is very good (although the selection is limited). The view from above of the Russian River emptying into the Pacific Ocean is priceless. And the service is very good. This place is definitely worth stopping at for a great meal if you're... more

Looking for an exceptional view with a great meal? This is the place. My wife and I travelled here from San Francisco (about 90 minutes) for a great sunset meal to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. She ordered the Filet Mignon and I ordered the fresh halibut. Both meals were awesome in flavor, presentation and service. The specialty cocktails were memorable... more

We stopped here after spending the day geocaching on the Sonoma Coast. The food was good, we ordered fish and chips and the pulled pork sandwich. The portions were not too big and the service was attentive. Prices seemed a little high for some items. Nice selection of beer on draft, the bar area looked like it could be a... more

We are leaving a separate comment on the hotel part wich was simply magical, but the restaurant is amazing. As a concierge I have sent many people this way and have recieved dozens of comments, most of them stellar. The waves, the river, the seals, the seagulls, the sunsets ( think baby blue sky, and as the sun says buh... more

We decided to have dinner here instead of driving into Duncan's Mill. We really wanted to enjoy the sunset and have a nice dinner. The service was excellent we were shown to a beautiful view table overlooking the ocean. We ordered 2 cups of chowder, crab cakes, and oyster appetizers. The chowder was a version of New England chowder that... more

With such a mixed list of reviews I wasn't sure that we really wanted to have dinner here - glad we didn't pay attention to what some wrote. Perhaps alot has changed over time but we were there on 11/7/08. Had drinksand New England Clam chowder at the bar, made reservations for dinner - no rooms available, so we went... more
