    My wife and I were visiting family in California for the holidays and needed a romantic date night. We searched online for the best restaurants in Los Angeles and decided on The Ranch. I can’t emphasize enough how wonderful the entire experience was: from the mouth-watering artichokes that were so perfectly seasoned with their complimenting sauces, to the best, most tender and juicy New York strip steak we’ve ever had! The Milky Way and Crème brûlée desserts were -again- perfect! Finally, we’d like to thank our sweet, kind, and beautiful server, Alejandra, who made the entire dining experience a special night to remember. Thank you very much, Alejandra!

    As usual both my wife and I had another superb meal !!! We arrived about 15 minutes early but we were seated after less than 10 minutes . So that's the first plus in their favor. Our waitress was there within 10.minutes to take our drink orders. Plus number two. The only thing that I found lacking was the number of chefs in attendance ( I think that it's because of the time of day, but if you want my opinion there should have been 3 or 4 chefs on duty because of the time of year) there were only two when we arrived . But once our chef came to our table he first apologized (which he shouldn't have to do) and then he put on a stellar performance and everyone at the table got a really good meal and show also !!?!!

    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.
