What User doesn't like about The Ranch House:
We drove all the way from Los Angeles, which is over two hours away to spend an anniversary dinner here. When we came to our reservation (first waited and until our reservation), we were told that they had a wedding that booked the whole restaurant and that OPEN TABELLE made our reservation. I booked months ago and received a confirmation of our reservation a week before going. This is RIDICULOUS!!! I would like to s... View all feedback. What User likes about The Ranch House:

Every plate that came out was better than the last. The garden was a fairytale. We will be back to try their Wednesday night live music and happy hour!

The Ranch House, once celebrated for its culinary excellence, now offers a mixed bag of experiences. While many diners enjoyed the lovely ambience and outstanding service, others found the food inconsistent, with dishes like the pork belly and diver's scallops receiving praise, while the rack of lamb and dessert selection fell flat. The picturesque setting, complete with a serene koi pond, enhances the dining experience, yet concerns over lukewarm food and a decline in overall quality have surfaced. For some, it remains a hidden gem, while for others, it’s a restaurant in need of revitalization.

Maybe my expectations were too high but I was disappointed. They started poorly with a warm split of Prosecco (they were out of the Blanc de Blanc). We both ord...
