    Our server, Tim was a highlight for sure! Super friendly, attentive & helpful. Crab cake appetizers were amazing but a bit small for the price. Salads (beet & wedge) were good size, fresh & yummy. Mains (halibut & Branzino) very delicious. Would have liked to see more Main options. All that was shown on your website was not offered last night. Had another fabulous dinner and time. Will be back soon.

    We got off to a good start with a complimentary glass of champagne to celebrate our anniversary. Our server, Amanda, was knowledgeable and helpful. It took quite a while for our entrees to be delivered. My scallops were perfect. My husband said his rib-eye steak was just OK--and overpriced. As we were finishing our meal, Amanda told us that she was leaving and another server would take over. At that point we were ignored. My husband had to go over to the bar to ask that our table be cleared and for to-go boxes and the check. We were brought another glass of complimentary champagne, but no apology or explanation for the lapse of service.

    Laid back atmosphere. Great service and great food. Most of the steaks come with truffle butter which was really good but a bit overpowering. We ordered the Wagyu filet mignon which was great, but I would request the truffle butter on the side next time as we really couldn't taste the steak itself. Our server was very friendly and helpful! We will definitely return to try more of the menu.

    Hero Ranch was great, but the Tomahawk Special was subpar and bland! We Do not recommend their specials! Stick to the regular menu and think twice about the platter. We recommend the octopus , truffle fries, and bone in rib eye. If you have room, the butter cake is a must!

    Amazing as always!! We had a guest visiting from out of town and wanted to take her out to a nice dinner, Hero Ranch was our first stop! We got several appetizers and a salad that we shared. All delicious. Two of us ordered the Wagyu steak (always an excellent choice) and the other ordered the Pork Chop. We are consistently impressed with the food, the high quality, friendly service, and the wonderful atmosphere. Hero Ranch is definitely a favorite place and we will be back soon!

We were there for birthday celebration and they were really good about little details like a free dessert and champagne. Will definitely be back for steaks next.

    Third dining experience. Excellent food and service with one exception. My pork chop was a little over cooked and, hence, not very tender. My friend’s steak was slightly over cooked too. It’s a bummer when everything is generally exceptionally good but your main ticket item is slightly disappointing. One chef’s off night isn’t enough to not highly recommend.
