    Another birthday celebration and another fantastic evening at Teleferic! This restaurant has never failed to meet expectations. Fabulous food and service. The hands on, team oriented management style makes for a great evening out for all. Two people in our party had never been and they both loved the food and the experience! They'll be back and so will I!

    Celebrated a good friend's retirement and could not have asked for a nicer evening. On a cool evening, we had a cozy table for 4 indoors (although the outdoor seating looked comfortable). Started with cocktails and the tempura beans. Then moved on to the wedge salad. Folks had halibut, scalops and the veggie risotto for mains along with a very reasonably priced bottle of wine. Bread pudding and candied popcorn (on the house) for desert. Every sip and bite was delicious with a special call out to the wedge salad. We've been before and we will be back. Thank you Hero Ranch Kitchen!
