A word from River's End
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 10 years. The Chef in the Redwood Bar is talented Patrick Keane. Trained at the French Culinary Institute, Patrick utilizes the freshest ingredients and classic techniques to create truly “Artisanal Cocktails”.

Food is a bit too sweet for me, but still I do enjoy both food and atmosphere. It's a place for memorable moments - could not forget River End :D
Recommend Sea bass with squash puree.

All table have great views of the mouth of the Russian river from high on the bluff. We stopped for lunch, I had the local sea bass, my wife the daily special lamburger. both were really special. I would definitely suggest River's End for an upscale lunch. Next time we'll try a sunset dinner.

As the designated driver I was pleasantly surprised at the extensive alcohol free menu included in the wine menu and did, indeed, enjoy the best non-alcoholic Bloody Mary I've ever had. I told the waitress and she said that their bartender was amazing. Well, I'm here to tell you that he is. We, also, enjoyed a superb Corn Crab Chowder and a truly amazing burger with home made catsup for the fries. We were seated in the "solarium" which offered a great view of the Russian River/Pacific Ocean confluence and were grateful as it was definitely quieter than the main body of the restaurant. We would return in a heartbeat!

I've been here before and the food is always excellent. Service can be shoddy. This last experience was the worst ever. We brought wine and had to open it ourselves because no one came to the table to open it, it took atleast 20 minutes for them to even acknowledge us and take orders for appetizers, the food took forever to come out, they didn't check back on us and one person in our group had to go to the bar to try to order wine and was ignored there as well. It was locals night (Monday) so was quite busy when we got there but by the time we were seated things were beginning to mellow out. It felt like we were put in a dark room and then forgotten about. I have mixed feelings about recommending this place.

Beautiful location overlooking the Russian River and the ocean. Creative menu, a bit pricey, but you're paying for the view as well.

With menu prices like a Michelin Star restaurant the food was okay, not great or very good.
The service was very good. I am not sure if I would go back.

Great sunset views. The food is wonderful and inventive. The wine list is exceptional, even the wines by the glass. The service was both attentive and nonobtrusive. The facility is cozy.

Our meal was prepared perfectly, served at the right pace, the portions were not too small, and our server was delightful. All around best meal of our month-long stay in the area.
