Rio Grill blends the freshest local ingredients with Southwestern flavors to take California cuisine to a whole new level. Rio Grill’s décor reflects its Southwestern heritage, with white-washed stucco arches, brightly painted ceramics and hearty cacti. The renowned bar and lounge is where Southwestern aesthetic meets California eclectic, adorned with caricatures of local and famous personalities and cartoon characters.

A Carmel institution for nearly 26 years, this high-energy restaurant is a great place to meet friends, enjoy a meal with family, sample from an award-winning wine list and be pampered by only the best service.
