   Ranch house is a wonderful restaurant. The wagyu beef is exceptional - perhaps a bit overpriced . Service is always excellent, informed and down to earth. I had the best dessert I’ve had in 60 years- definitely in the top 10. Sides are sometimes over seasoned but I like simplicity- don’t like too many flavors bombarding. Ambience is lively but peaceful and quiet. Ranch house is a real Treat in a beautiful place.

   No appealing appetizers or sides. Caesar salad was for some reason grilled thus wilted, dressing was flavorless. Ordered $198 wagyu steak and the chef couldn’t cook it to desired temp. First time was under, second time was over. For some reason they still sent it out though. Fries came out floppy like wet noodles. Server removed the fries from the bill but did nothing for us for the poorly cooked expensive steak. She just asked if we were staying at the hotel but when we told her no she decided not to help any further. Total bummer

   If you're not staying at Devil's Thumb Ranch in the winter, then it's best to have an early reservation or arrive early so you can take in the views before dark. They are incredible! The food is always amazing. We had the 6 oz Wagyu sirloin special and the elk pot pie. They are known for the beef, and it is spectacular. The elk pot pie was more like a stew with a pastry topping than a traditional creamy pot pie. It was awesome and all the tables around us asked what it was because it looked so amazing! Always a great treat for a special dinner.

   If the food were half the price I would simply never return and save my opinion. If that was wagyu beef, I’m Michael Jordan. The only beef menu options are all wagyu, fyi. The “wagyu” was served cold (not deliberately). The Halibut was riddled with bones and had an entire stick of melted butter at the bottom of the plate soaking the accompanying vegetables and puree. I’m from Chicago, and we’re a food town. If this restaurant were opened there it would be closed inside of 3 months. Until now I didn’t think it possible to be insulted by a meal.

   Overall the experience was good, service was excellent but the notation that the price point is $30-50 is way off!! We were looking forward to a nice steak so we bit the bullet and ordered the Denver Steak at $110 each. Flavor was good but a little on the tough side especially for the price point. Honestly we have had better steak at half the price. Granted we live in Houston so our perspective may be skewed since we have some of the best food in the U.S. Overall a nice dinner but at a final bill over $400 we did not feel the value was in line and consequently won't be returning.

    Server was wonderful, gave him 5 stars. For the prices we were a bit disappointed in the menu. Desert another 5-stars was the best part of the meal. We all felt that we would not need to go back and didn't leave feeling that this was the best steak we have ever had. Extremely expensive and the experience was so-so.
