My wife and I dined on Friday 10 May at Applewood Restaurant. I had recently purchased for $75 a Groupon that entitled us two of each: appetizer, entree (plate), dessert and a glass of wine. We had an early 6PM reservation and the restaurant was nearly empty when we arrived, but filled by the time we left a little more... More

Lovely inn (not a B&B) just across the Russian River from the center of Guerneville. We were welcomed with a glass of local champagne and taken to our room (Chablis). It's been newly refurbished with hardwood floors, fireplace, a new Posturepedic mattress and its own hot tub on the back patio. We're looking forward to dinner at their restaurant tomorrow... More

think of everything a great restaurant should be, think Applewood Inn, Guereneville. Four hours of pure heaven in a wonderful setting. The wait staff was superb.

Sorry to disagree with other great reviews. Service was good but food was just OK. For the price, I expected better. Three of us had the smoked pork chop. Lots of fat, undercooked. Nothing with it, potato,vegetable,etc. One person had lamb. It was good. Scallop 1st course was good. Wouldn't go back.

My wife and are are foodies. We agreed this was the best cooked and tasting meals of our lives. We started with the halibut appetizer and had the steak and duck entrees. Unbelievable!

Yes, the location is lovely and the dining room rustic, but we were expecting more from the food considering the prices. To sum it up, I would say that almost everything lacked flavor. The salads were decent, but the fish I ordered came with a broth poured over it that turned it into a soup (if I'd wanted soup I... More

We had a great dinner at this restaurant and the service was very good with friendly staff. The dining room is rustic and comfortable. It exceeded my expectations for a restaurant in a small town. I will return. The lamb chops were delicious. The chocolate desert was a delight. Our waiter made our visit and evening enjoyable

Having read all the reviews and eaten at other Michellin star restaurants we were disappointed. The ambience was poor and the food hit and miss. It seemed as if they were trying too hard. The beef tenderloin was excellent but let down by the vegetables. My husbands lamb was perfect but overwhelmed by the cocoa crust. Cannoli was actually tulle... More
