Chef Eric Piacentine

Communal dining is a quintessential human experience. With that understanding, we simply must serve great food. In-season, locally sourced with quality ingredients, and impeccably prepared – for lunch and dinner. We'll be a gathering place for the community and guests in a fresh and new space that honors the legacy of the Lodge, while tantalizing the palette with flavors that celebrate the bounty that the area has to offer – from lush produce to the freshest catch. We aim to offer fair and approachable pricing – inviting locals regularly and inspiring visitors to make the trip – and to serve meals with the warmth and care of being in someone's home.

    It was a neighborhood get together getting to know new people and socialize. Company was amazing and so was everything else. Though I wish they would have had some vegan options.

    Our group had the best Saturday night dining experience at The Sea Ranch Lodge! Our pre-dinner cocktails in the cozy bar were delish, and our server was informative and attentive! The vibe lived up to my expectations.... Then dinner started off really well with my requested corner table and acknowledgement of our celebration. Our server knew her wines and helped us decide on a delicious scallop starter and entrees. The wine was flowing and the conversations at our table and around us were lively. Too full for dessert, but satisfied and planning our next reservation! Thank you Sea Ranch Lodge and Open Table! Chef's Kiss!

    As always a great location… 3 different mains..short ribs great, fish drab and mediocre presentation, lamb… small portions Salad greens good, bread and oil strange presentation but good and Ridiculous to charge $35.00 wine corkage! We live near Napa and that price is too much!!

    Nice setting. Skip the overpriced and uninspired reserved dinner and go for the very good bar menu. You can't get the bar menu at the reserved tables, but it’s much better food and a better value. Locals tip.

    My wife and I have been permenant Sea Ranch residents for more than 7 years. This visit to The Lodge was in celebration of her 77th birthday. We reserved our table via Open Table and were delighted with the prompt and professional service. Our meals were served with impecable service and the quality of the food was 5*. Thank you!!

    Beautifull facility and view. Food was inconsistent — some dishes excellent some items need improvement. Noisy children in the fireplace room adjacent to the restaurant tables made the $300 meal difficult to enjoy. None of the lodge staff took responsibility to address the problem.

    Outstanding service by server (Miles) and excellent food, well worth the price. The only negative was a half-hour wait to be seated, despite having a reservation for a specific time. With a full bar and no seating available elsewhere, the wait was uncomfortable.

    Appetizers were incredible! The scallops and crab cakes exceeded expectations. The entrees were mixed. Cod was delicious, but the steak was chewy. Most concerning was the service. We were seated early; our reservation was 5:30. Despite several empty tables, the bread took a very long time to come. Our appetizers took a great deal of time as well. New arrivals were seated and their bread and appetizers arrived quickly. Our entrees finally arrived. The broccolini was ice cold. The steaks were not hot. Cod was good. We waited almost 30 minutes after our meals to receive our dessert. The corkage fee of $35 seems a but high. We were disappointed in our last visit. We hope the next time we go, the service has improved. On a positive note, Trace, the bartender is fabulous!

    Our drinks from the bar were subtle and delicious. We’re very glad we tried some of their special cocktails rather than sticking with what we already know. The bartender was also very friendly and helpful. Our server was a delight and similarly helpful in recommending dishes. Everything that we ordered was delicious and prepared with care and flavor. We’ll definitely be back the next time we’re in the area. Bravo!

    Attentive staff, well rounded selection of menu items. My only complaint is that I prefer eating out of flat dinnerware, not bowls. Makes using utensils a bit awkward.

    We visit Sea Ranch often and it was a delight to go to the newly designed Sea Ranch Lodge. It was so well done, and the use of space made it feel small and intimate in a larger space. Our server was a delight, just excellent and it was our birthday (s) celebration, and they did a nice dessert with a candle. It was personal and memorable. There was a jazz band there that night which was delightful. Overall, great food, service and ambiance!

    Food was good by style of preparation and type of presentation was unfamiliar and unexpected. Description of dishes should have address fully these attributes. Also, for American settings, serving portions tended to be on the light side. Finally, for the dishes we ordered such as the bread/oil/balsamic appetizer and the lamb main dish, the prices seemed excessive.

    This is our 2nd time to the restaurant and it did not disappoint! The menu is small but just enough to variety. The bread with the garlic and olives is over the top as with the french fries! Hubby had the short rib which was delis and I had the chicken. Chicken I was a little disappointed on the very mild flavor but still good. Kayla was our server and she was so cute, sweet and very knowledgeable. Loved her. It is a great place to go for a nice casual feel but excellent food. We will be back!

    My husband, daughter, brother & baby granddaughter had a wonderful evening at the Sea Ranch Lodge last night. We all had something different & each entree was great. The service was great. Took care of our granddaughter and was supportive of her “messier’ dining process. Great wine knowledge including small tasting to help us pick the white that best suited our meal. We’ll be back.

    The window table views are extraordinary at sunset, and the table service was wonderfully attentive. This was our first visit post-pandemic (we have gone often before), and we agreed that while the food was tasty, the meals were not exceptional enough to warrant the high prices. Yes, I'd recommend it, but know that your bill for two will be $250 if you have cocktails ($13 each), a glass of wine ($15 lowest), and desserts ($12 each), in addition to two entrees (about $50-$60 each). It was a special birthday occasion though, so worth the expense this time!
