Amazing meal, ambiance A+, with the best music and fabulous wine selection. Everything was perfect for my Birthday dinner!! The service was impeccable and inviting. I felt like I was at my Grandmas house, which made me very comfortable and I knew we were in for some great food! We forgot to take a picture of the French onion soup which is an absolute must have if you go. Even the bread basket was delicious! We will be going back soon! What a perfect restaurant!
Went for my son's 23rd birthday! I had never heard of this place and I was excited to try it out once i saw the menu. Great service and great food. I got the ribeye and it was awesome. Our outside seating was in a beautiful setting with fun lights and heaters if needed. All of that was great. Here is a small list of gripes, but the rest of the stuff far outweighed it. 1. CASH ONLY. What are you a strip club? Get with the times. 2. One bathroom for everyone. Boys, girls, theys, thems, whatever. One bathroom. Not cool. 3. Took forever to get our food. But they provided plenty of bread and butter. Still. I showed up hungry and planned ahead to get my ribeye. Reservations at 5:30, ate at 7:15 aprox. Thats about all i can say. Everything else was fantastic. You should definitely try this place. All fresh ingredients and farm to table stuff. And not too pricey. So easy 5 stars for me.
What a lovely little place. Very nice portions with a wonderful choice of different selections. The starters are fun ! Service is awesome
The Luck of it never ceases to amaze me...I'm driving a B Day party today and the last stop is dinner at "the Range". Sounds like an ideal opportunity to have some dinner for myself. I was seated on the patio with all the early dinner folks. I couldn't dine at the bar tonight because there is no bar, looks like it was at some point but not these days. Apparently the only spirits in town are at the Liquor store, just beer and wine here folks. I got duce to myself, and prompt attention from Jessica. water, iced tea and a nice little plate of sourdough bread slices accompanied with a unique corn bread. Jessica rattled off the specials, shes had some practice having worked here the last nineteen years. The specials...a beef meatball on linguini, a pork ragu something and sand dabs da de da...I started with a Caesar salad romaine hearts no croutons thanks. I had to try the Elk medallions Oh my....delicious, accompanied with smashers and the best combination of fresh vegetables I think I ever had and cooked to perfection and all of it served on a warmed plate. Oh yea... You know when the dinner steak knife comes out and is from Rambo's house it gonna be something to look forward to enjoying. Nuff said, make the trip out here. Dessert backed up dinner a rubarb crumb topped warm compote and vanilla ice cream to help it slid down. Even the iced tea was good, probably because it was brewed fresh & strong today. Ah the bill has arrived with a fortune cookie. do I flip the bill or open the fortune cookie first? fortune cookie first, maybe it says I got a free meal? "Sail into the land of opportunity-treasures await" hum...not free but certainly a good fortune told. CASH or check No Credit Cards. Tip well my friends the range is Highly recommended by the foodguy. Martin
I had no idea this steakhouse existed in Santa Margarita. Started with the French onion soup. It was really good! I had an amazing filet steak that was cooked perfectly. Served with mashed potatoes and veggies. The only negatives are they only take cash and they only had one champagne choice on the menu. Next time I'll bring my own bottle and pay the corkage fee.
