Boho Restaurant sits directly on the Russian River in Monte Rio, with a sprawling patio that opens to the water. You can watch the current move while you eat, and the space has the lived-in quality of a place where decor shifts with the seasons and regulars know every corner. String lights and heat lamps warm the patio on cooler mornings and evenings, and covered sections keep you dry when fog rolls in thick.

Dogs are welcome on the patio, which is where dining actually happens. The staff brings water bowls without being asked and treats dogs as genuine guests. Your dog stays outside with no interior access, but the patio is spacious—you won’t feel crowded with other diners. The kitchen runs a California-seasonal menu, so if your dog has a begging habit, temptation will follow, though the restaurant doesn’t hand out table scraps as policy. Occasional mosquitoes appear in summer, but the covered sections let you move away if needed.

The restaurant is located on River Boulevard, the main drag through Monte Rio, roughly a mile west of the Russian River bridge that marks town center. Parking sits just off the patio area. Lunch and dinner service runs most days, though hours shift seasonally. Weekends and summer bring larger crowds as the river traffic increases; weekday afternoons tend to be quieter if you prefer a calmer outing with your dog. Timing matters if you’re driving out specifically, so call ahead to confirm current hours.
