My husband and I just got back from this disaster of a restaurant after looking forward to it our entire vacation! First off, it took us over an hour to get there from our hotel in Napa. Wouldn't have minded if ANYTHING else had gone right! The restaurant is on the river and ocean junction and is known for spectacular... more

Best ending to an amazing long-weekend of food and wine. We ate at some of the most highly reviewed restaurants in Sonoma and Napa, but the view and the service made our dinner here the most memorable of the trip. Even the drive to the restaurant from Guernerville is spectacular. This is the first time I've ever written a review... more

We had lunch at River's End late June 2008. The view is beautiful indeed. I ordered baked oysters and my husband ordered a NY strip sandwich (cooked "rare" he said when asked how he wanted it cooked). We also asked for advice on two types of Zifandel (half bottle). The wine we were advised to choose was a full bodied... more

Wonderful view, very horrible parking, food below average, service way below average. My wife and I went there on the recommendation of a local visitor center employee. Arrived in time to see the sunset, and that was spectacular. Food was very bland, no one asked if it was OK, just put it on our table and the next we saw... more

We had a terrific dinner at River's End in September. Granted, when you walk in, you realize you're not there for the decor. It's pretty dated, but clean. However, when you see the stunning view, it does help make up for it! We were there at sunset and were told the same thing about "people booking the view tables months... more

I read some of the reviews and was surprised by some of the negative musings on this gem. My wife and I have been to this area several times but never quite made it up to Jenner for dinner at this restaurant, although I had read about it numerous times. So when some friends of ours happened to be in... more

The view, yes is GREAT....but just about every thing else was way below average. Decor awful, food VERY VERY bland, and a bit over priced, the service was just below average. There are just too many great places to eat in the surrounding towns to waste the calories. more

I called to reserve a lunch table for 8 at this touted (and rare) North Coast restaurant. My guests were a formal older couple visiting from Korea and their adult children and grandchild. I was told that the only time they could seat a party of 8 was at opening time as it was too hard to assemble such a... more

In preparation of vacation, I did a lot of research and reviewing of various places to visit and came across the River's End Restaurant. I saw many comments and one particular stood out and came in handy! At our arrival, 5pm on a Monday, just as dinner service started, we approached our hostess who was on the phone. After many... more
