The Ranch Restaurant: Hospitality Suite

Came back twice during my short trip to Cali it was that good. Wonderful menu with a lot of choices and very extensive wine menu as well. Our server Ian was a professional from start to finish. He timed the meal out perfectly and knew exactly what to offer since I was a first time. As someone in the industry I appreciated his charm and attentiveness!

Great ambiance, excellent food, service was good as well. Here’s my recap: - porterhouse steak ($165) - was recommended but was just ok. Probably wouldn’t order it again. I originally wanted the ribeye, but I was told that it was too marbled and not as good as the porterhouse. I’m going to come back for the ribeye. - ceviche (3 ways) - very good! - bread - there were 6 different types of bread within the loaf. Not sure how they did this, but it was tasty. - creamed corn - the flavors were good but the texture of the corn was off. Not sure how to explain it but it was too chewy. - mushrooms - good. Didn’t love the flavor of the sauce but it was cooked well and texture was perfect. - lobster Mac - so good. Must get it. - prime rib - very good. Wish it was a bit warmer but it was great. - salad - Caesar and chopped both were ok. Nothing special but solid. Definitely coming back. Overall great time.

The Ranch never disappoints. You may have to make reservations several days in advance but it is worth it. The parking is easy (self-parking or valet). The ambiance is dim and had a classy but not stiff vibe to it. Great for anything from a date, to business dinner, to celebration. My absolute favorite that I order every time is their prime rib with scalloped potatoes(currently $78). It is cooked to your preference and just perfect. I have tried many of their appetizers including the artichoke, ceviche, and carpaccio and they’re all winners. Do not sleep on their desserts either! Any one of them are excellent. Expect to pay around $100-150 per person

Great steak house with excellent service. If you are looking for a great steak this is the place. Along the same price point as Mortons but with MUCH better flavor and service. We went for our anniversary. They have a large selection of wine and spirits with an amazing selection of whiskey/bourbon. I had their house "Ranch Select Bourbon". Very smooth with hints of caramel and banana---think banana fosters sauce with a kick.---no strong banana scent or flavor just a note.

Excellent Venue. We hosted a 75-person dinner in the Hospitality Room. Alyson and Nick were quick to respond and very accommodating to our specific requests (and worked within our budget). The room was perfect: Enough space to mingle in front of the fireplace or out on the shared terrace. The service staff, John, Sam, Ino, Jorge & Marilu along with the team were very friendly, and the service was Michelin level. We chose the Oak menu w/ Salmon and Steak options. The steak was cooked to order. Our guests also loved the Maryland Blue Crab Tacos (passed hor oeuvres).
