We had originally rented the Guerneville school to do the food there. Power outages foiled us last minute, so a make shift feeding line was established under the business to put out turkey, ham, Sam's lasagna, mashed taters, veggies squash, and more. What a pleasure to work with this team, and push, baby push. We served hundreds of locals lacking power, random families, the unhoused. Guys like Sam are needed more and more in this world . I'm glad we met and made some positivity in this amazing aftermath of the recent storms. Oh the wind and the rain!

We ordered the kinky rooster, which is a blackened chicken breast with bacon and cheese and a delicious aioli.

Definitely worth a stop here. Will be back!

And you know, it's just another brewery. I can't say anything special about it. Food was ok. Staff was ok. Location is good, but then, so are most places along the river. I wouldn't go back on my own.

Food is amazing and the ambiance has that local feel that makes this place special. Get the wings. Can't go wrong with them. Love the crispyness and meatiness of the wings. My go to is the killer prime rib with a side of Au Jus. So freaking good. They have good selection of beers on tap and cocktails are good quality and strong. They even adjusted one for my wife who was worried it would be to sweet. Very accommodating. Loved sitting outside in their huge sitting area. Must not let years pass before returning.

We ordered a grilled chicken sandwich, onion rings, and an order of fish and chips, alongside two flavored lemonades. Chicken was unremarkable--unseasoned, not marinated; unfortunately a bland and slightly tough piece of chicken. Came on a nice brioche bun with the caramelized onions being the best part of the dish (and meal). Our fish and onion rings were overly greasy. The fries were tasty and seemed fresh but unsalted and wilted beneath the fish and could have been crispier. My partner thought the sweet flavored lemonades were from a mix and there was no pulp. No pics. Seems the de rigueur order here is chicken wings, which we don't order. Would be a great place to hang with friends for drinks and conviviality; very casual vibe. But foodwise, our experience was very middle-of-the-road.

Everything is also cooked to perfection, especially the fish and steak. There was also a fancy tea demonstration, I would say one of the best teas I've ever had. First off, the service is top tier! I was pleasantly surprised, this definitely was equivalent to a Michelin star experience. Amazing service and attentiveness, and were also in sync haha. The restaurant itself is beautiful and cozy, love the tree in the middle. I also love the dessert experience of taking us to the patio, even more cozy! with the fire and stars above, blankets included (: We also ate breakfast here twice -- I would recommend the burger for brunch! But service / ambiance is totally different and casual, you order first and then they will bring out the food to whatever table you choose. Definitely recommend to stop here if you're in Guerneville!

Perks about this venue, is to have dinner at the hotel restaurant that opens at 5pm, if you haven't eaten yet, and then head to the 1st jazz session at 630pm or 2nd jazz session that starts at 9pm. The Gatsby, Gin Hemingway, Old Fashioned Peanut Butter (I know odd, but so good surprisingly!) and Lavendar Lily are my favorite cocktails! One can't go wrong with any of their cocktails on the menu. Friendly staff! Wonderful riverfront view and fire pit lounge right outside of the speakeasy space! This speakeasy is a part of the Boho Manor resort and they have Art Deco newly remodeled rooms, dock with water activities and spa! One stop shop here!

Not inviting so we sat at a high boy in the darkened bar, which was much nicer. I'm sure it's beautiful to sit on the balcony in the summer on warm nights. We chatted with the German owner who was doubling as a bartender, who was very nice. We loved the German influences in the bar, as we had just been to Oktoberfest in Munich. The owner's daughter Sarah runs the kitchen. My husband had a pork tenderloin schnitzel "Vienna style" ($20) and I had a jaegerschnizel with mushroom gravy ($20) and both were excellent. We split the potato pancakes (two with sour cream and apple sauce, $12) which were served crispy but tasty. They had a nice German beer and wine list. We finished with a delicious apple strudel to complete a lovely meal. I recommend this restaurant for tasty dinners in a unique venue.

I will look forward to staying here again in the future!
