Monte Rio Restaurants

Christmas Eve dinner. Party of three. High satisfaction level, as usual! Stark’s Seafood and Steak is our holiday meal go to. I make the same thing every holiday…. reservations at Stark’s. Festive decorations, a welcoming holiday atmosphere. Our server was warm, affable, professional without hovering. Just right. We all ordered appetizers, and the mussels were the unanimous winner. Little ones in a sauce worthy of sopping up with a second order of bread. My daughter ordered her favorite butter fish with sticky rice and it met her expectations again. The other two of us had the lobster, so perfectly prepared. Again. Generous portions left us too full for dessert, and memories of a lovely holiday meal . Thank you.

Great food, however their wine prices are ridiculous. Bring you own bottle and get stuck with paying their $25 corkage fee. Better than paying their wine prices for mediocre wines. Sad when they try to make money off of their wine.

Phenomenal, in every way! The entire space is stunning, inviting, and so relaxing. Every member of the staff was so engaging and genuine. Our server, Meagan, was amazing. She was so helpful and always there if we needed something but gave us all the space and time to enjoy our experience without interruption. The cocktails were fantastic, perfectly balanced and delicious. The food was incredible! We had the sourdough bread, little gem salad, oysters and the duck. Would get every single item again, but none more so than the oysters. Absolutely unforgettable. Must order! We loved everything and can’t wait to return. Thank you, Meagan and the whole staff and chefs!!

First time there so happy and our server was excellent

Hamchi crudo appetizer was so fresh and flavors melded together well. Black cod had a seared crust and perfectly cooked along with crème fraiche and beet mashed potatoes The pork chop was about 2” thick with mushroom bread pudding. All beautifully prepared and presented.
