The Hero Ranch Kitchen

Great service! We came in 20 minutes before the kitchen closed and we were sat right away at a nice spacious booth, the manager Alex greeted us and let us know all the popular meaning items(without being asked), Mitch was our server and was very friendly and accommodating. The food was delicious (and my man is hard to please lol), drinks were good and the ambiance was nice. Alex made great conversation with us when we paid the bill and Mitch surprised me with a complementary bottle of pino. I would highly recommend and we will be returning customers. Oh and the dessert ???????? (Pictures are screen shots of videos so not the best quality)

Overall, not recommended. The service was good and courteous. The ambience was fine, especially when sitting inside. The food and drinks looked good on the menu, but were very poor in execution. The cornbread/chicken was mediocre, the Hero salad most people should be able to prepare at home, the pork chop and halibut were drier than they should be at such a restaurant, the scallops tasted similar to the ones you could buy at Trader Joe’s, and the dessert was just bad. The same goes for the cocktails, one of which we had to return because none of us could drink it (we tried). I had high hopes for this restaurant, but for $75/person I expected way more - our experience was more like $30/person. Very disappointed and will not be coming back.

Second time I’ve been here. First visit was ok; I didn’t think the food was worth the money. This time was much better; they got their portions down better. Made reservations via Open Table and although they were full when I tried to make changes, we were able to add an extra person to our existing reservation via an email request (open table would not allow me to make changes on their site). Our server Alexis was super friendly and very attentive to our needs. Food and cocktails both very good. My pork chop was a little on the salty side so I think they may brine the meat a little too long. All good bc overall, it was very well cooked. Friends said their halibut and salmon were equally good. I have to say portions have gotten better over time. I was not a fan during my first visit bc I just left feeling hungry after spending $150 for two. Not this time. FYI – NO CORKAGE fee. You heard right. NO CORKAGE fee. We brought our own bottle of wine for dinner but had some cocktails
