It was our first visit to The Ranch we were there to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday. When we entered we was amazed by the beauty and the layout and ambiance of the entire restaurant. Customer service was excellent, food was exquisite. We will definitely return and certainly recommend The Ranch to friends and family. Thank you for making my girlfriend’s birthday a wonderful and great experience.

Very good. We hadn’t been back for awhile but we’re excited to try some of the new menu items. We each started with the French onion soup which was delicious. My husband had the mussels and I had the lobster roll. Both were great. That and a couple do craft brews and it was a great evening out.
