About Us
A Carmel institution since 1984, Rio Grill has enjoyed a long and storied history. Originally the site of local restaurateur Billy Quon's original establishment, Rio Grill officially opened its doors 27 years ago. At that time, Rio Grill was part of the Real Restaurants organization, and was affiliated with such world class restaurants as Mustard's Grill and Tra Vigne in Napa Valley, and the Fog City Diner in San Francisco.
As part of the Real Restaurants group, Rio Grill staked its claim as one of the region's most popular choices catering to a loyal local clientele while satisfying out of town guests. As Rio's reputation grew, the partners of the Real Restaurants Group decided to part ways and Rio Grill was able to stand on its own.
