Best staff, best food, no doubt! Amazing variety of meats and sides. Big enough for parties, or gatherings.
My family and I love Rio Grill; it's one of our favorite restaurants. We finally introduced this restaurant to my husband and he loves Rio Grill, too. They have a great food and great service. Thank you. �
I was post overseas flight and had traveled 21 hours. Hungry. I asked for 1 item to be served on the side but the kitchen made a mistake and they made a new order. Food was good. Server was super nice.
It was not great but it was good.
Had good drinks and appetizers here for a group of four after hiking in Pt Lobos. Drinks: Watermelon Smash, IPA, Poppy Chardonnay, Venus Flytrap. Appetizers: Artichoke, Ahi tuna wonton chips, butternut squash gnocchi.
Omg so tasty!! Had a soy-marinated steak and the meat was very tender! Highly recommend potato-skin as an appetizer , sooooo delicious.
Excellent service, from our waitress Alana to the hostess to the bar tender who came out to chat. The ahi salad lunch special was amazing - perfect sesame dressing, lovely fresh ahi, but what's this? Grilled watermelon? Yes, oh yes! Topped with crispy wontons on a bed of luscious greens with perfectly ripe avocado. Yum!
Been going here for 20 years or more. And it’s consistently great. We always get the grilled artichoke and it’s always so delicious. The balsamic reduction and the dipping sauce is addicting. We love sitting in the bar and the drinks are good and strong. The staff are all super friendly and efficient.
The roasted artichoke is quite possibly one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. It is a seasonal item and the server said you can call ahead to see if they have it. Tuna app was very good. Service was great and they had a nice local wine and beer selection.
Nice breakfast experience for my mom’s birthday. I ordered the scramble and it was a nice light meal. The frittata looked wonderful as well and was very flavorful. Can skip the lemon pancakes since the topping wasn’t super lemony though. Other than that great service and food.
Dinner was wonderful. Staff are the best.
I was welcomed by a warm and very friendly hostess (Ishtar), had great conversation with the bartender (Shon), and the manager (Nathaniel) was on top of making sure things were perfect and was full of suggestions. I ordered all the staff favorites and they were spot on. Absolutely delicious. I will be back for more warm atmosphere, great drinks and food. I’ll make sure to save room for dessert next time.
Outstanding service, possibly the nicest staff I have ever encountered, and very genuine too. Best kids meal ever for the toddler, and there were several great options which were not the typical breaded chicken, fries or grilled cheese. Several vegetarian options which were interesting and tasty. Good for a variety of tastes. We were given hot towels at the end of the meal, very spa-like.
Came in for dinner and it did not disappoint. We usually stop here whenever we visit this area. The Hawaiian swordfish special was delicious! Our server was friendly and attentive.
