I have dined at the Historic El Rancho prior to the new ownership, so I decided to return once it was re-opened the beginning of this month (July 2011). I can not decscribe what an amazing experience I had there recently. The menu and food were outstanding, the service and atmosphere are fantastic. I was served by Jason and he was such a delight. He was professional and attentive, yet wanted to get to know the guests. I definitely would recommend ordering the Buffalo Wantons, the Salmon, and of course a nice glass of wine. The restaurant is much more complex than you would ever realize, you can relax and watch sports in the bar, sit in the dining room with linens and look out on the mountains, sit on the patio on hot summer days, or even plan a special event on the lower level of the restaurant in the banquet rooms and garden patio. I am definitely planning on returning very soon and frequently as well!
