Best Contemporary American Restaurants in Monte Rio

Fabulous food. Pitch perfect. Lovely spot to enjoy amazing food.

We loved the experience, the food and the service was supreme. I think the music could be turned down a bit. It was difficult to hear the waitress explain the dishes we were presented with.

We were greeted by the host as soon as we walked in. He was awesome. Super personable and knew it was our anniversary. From that point on everything was so smooth. Service was spot on. They brought us two glasses of champagne and a Happy Anniversary card. So unexpected! From there it was a delight to look over the menu. The choices all seemed mouth watering. What we ordered exceeded our expectations. After our appetizer and entree, we had dessert that topped off the evening. Our experience was accentuated with the right musical vibe and ambience that surrounded us all evening. Great night!

We had to wait a while for our drinks, but our mains came out about 2 mins after the appetizers arrived. Besides that, it was a great experience. The Service team were well informed on the restaurants mission and food.

Starting with the room itself, all the way through dessert, five stars are warranted. I enjoyed their boulevardier riff called Lost in the Orchard very much. The chocolate bitters and cedar smoke mage for a perfect balance. Our choices were a three course tasting menu or their 6 course tasting experience. We opted for 3. It's a great value at 75pp. Don't miss the salmon appetizer. It's inventive and delicious, perfect starter. I ate every bite of the persimmon and burrata salad and tasted my partners little gems. Both were great. Chicken roulade with crisp polenta could have maybe been a tiny bit crispier but definitely enjoyed it. The filet with pave potatoes was also perfectly prepared. And those desserts! You'll have trouble choosing. I went for the simple poached pear without regret. The service was attentive and not overbearing. The room is spacious and absolutely gorgeous. We will for certain be back.
