#1
Smith's Landing Seafood Grill
4.4(980)The nicest table in Antioch, sitting right on the river with sunset views over the delta. Order cioppino, ask for a window table, and expect to stay two hours.

#2
Monica's Riverview
4.3(640)Brunch with a river in the window. Casual, unhurried, and one of the few Antioch rooms that works equally well for a birthday table of twelve or a quiet Sunday two-top.
