Restaurants near Coyote Evans Wayside

Our experience was about as close to perfection as it could get. We went for my birthday lunch and as desired, we had a table right by the river. It was the warmest day so far this spring, close to 80 degrees and we were happy to sit in the sun. Cocktails were great, especially the smoky old fashioned..the presentation was a show in itself. We decided on a feast of appetizers…shrimp cocktail (5 enormous prawns), fried artichoke hearts (crispy not greasy) and tasty pork belly. Far more than enough for two to finish. Although we were quite comfortable, I suspect our server was able to see my Scottish neck beginning to glow bright red all the way from topside so she checked to be sure I was okay and then had someone bring down an umbrella to provide shade so the “old folks” didn’t turn into crispy critters. There wasn’t one thing I would change and I recommend River’s Edge for food, ambiance, and service.

It was our anniversary and everyone we met helped us to celebrate, from the Sommelier/Owner, the chef, the waitress and even the manager. We were seated at a noisy table at first, and they very graciously moved us to a quieter spot. We shared stories about Rombauer winery, Calistoga and the Auberge du Soleil in the Napa Valley. The food was delicious and beautifully served. It was a perfect place to go for our special occasion. Thank you to all!

Great waiter, who even called me when we left our takeout box. What service!

Tasty food, good service, and nice location on the river. Fish was farmed vs wild. Felt rushed when entrees came before we were done with salads and appetizers.
