So when some friends of ours happened to be in the same area we decided to drive to Jenner. I wanted to show our friends the coast as they had been in Healdsburg area sampling wines. In the back of my mind River's End was our end destination.

First of all if you can, and are coming from the Healdsburg area, take a drive down River Road to reach River's End. It is a spectacular drive with great scenery. As we neared the coast the temperature began to drop. River Road parrallels the Russian River and River's End is located where the mouth of the Russina River meets the Pacific Ocean.

We arrived at 5:30 and sat at the bar, which is small, as the restaurant opened at 6 p.m. As it turned out that was the only reservation available for the night.

First of all the views, even if you don't have a window table, are incredible. The restaurants sits on a cliff overlooking the ocean with the Russian River just to the south and in view also.

The wait staff were very helpful. I asked for a window table but was told , "people call months in advance to book those table." Understandably so. Regardless there is not a bad table in the house.

The food is anything but ordinary with all fresh ingredients and wonderful combinations. I had the pacific sea bass as my main course and it was delicious and bursting with flavors. It was just caught that afternoon and I believe it with how fresh it tasted.

We also had a sampling of oysters and some shrimp, the latter of which I am not a big fan (to bland) but this dish was outstanding.

I also appreciated that the wait staff did not rush us. We sat for about two hours and truly savored this meal, from salad, appetizers, main course and dessert.

I think this restaurant compares with some of the best and most innovative restaurants in Chicago. And the view is just the icing on the cake.

I would recommend you call well in advance and reserve a window table and then just sit back and enjoy the evening.

River's End is a perfect mix of casual and elegant. The food is excellent, as is the view, overlooking the coast and the river. Keep an eye out for seals playing. The biggest draw at River's End, however, is their clam chowder. It is the best we've ...Read more
