    The San Ysidro Ranch was a special place to have a romantic dinner. The meal was well paced. The service was theatrical as bespoke cocktails entrees and desserts were made table side. The guitarist played great music at a comfortable volume to enjoy the evening and conversation. Following dinner a stroll in the garden was enchanting. It felt like we were in a fairytale land. Would love to return!
