Reviews
1-) Ambiance and service (not so great)
We were sit in the second room (called wine tasting room) for the dinner we had. That room has extremely low ceilings and does not have a good ambiance for our liking. One major issue we had though was the speed of the dishes. The gap between starters and main dishes were close to 45 mins where we waited for actual dishes for 20 mins or so. I cant tell if this is due to some comms issue between the server and the kitchen or load on the kitchen. Regardless it made the experience subpar.
2-) Meals and Drinks (Great)
The food was decent and every meal was properly cooked and presented. We had the Fillet Mignon, Ribeye, Risotto and the chicken. Each dish perfectly prepared. The starters octopus and beet salad were also great. One major kudos to the establishment is the fact that their wines are literally market prices (with no additional restaurant markup)
For starters I recommend friend chicken and cornbread, beet salad (if you like beets), cheese curds (but it’ll fill you up quickly). The crispy sushi was just OK, I’d skip. For entrée the ribeye was very well made, and the scallops were fantastic. The baby back ribs were also delicious but a rather small portion. We also got the 14oz lobster tail special – it was good but nowhere close to 14oz (maybe with the plate it was )
All in all great food great service great atmosphere.
For a little more background, my wife recently came across The Hero Ranch Kitchen and wanted to try it with our family. So, we saddled up and went out for a nice dinner. Parking can be a little tricky in Saratoga, but we found a spot in a parking area behind the shops across the street on 5th Street.
We sat in what initially looks like outdoor seating, but it was covered above and on the sides with space heaters on a cold night. It was pretty comfortable.
The waitstaff was pleasant and ensured our water glasses never went dry. We began with the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Cornbread and Truffle Fries starters. Very nice.
My wife had the Harris Ranch Prime Filet. My son had the Sweet & Sticky Country Baby Back Ribs. I had the ridiculously tasty 1/2 Lb Hero Ranch Black Angus Burger. For dessert, we had the amazingly tasty Caramel Popcorn Sundae. Everyone was pleased with their meals, and I couldn’t seem to put my spoon down with the dessert we shared in front of me.
All in all, The Hero Ranch Kitchen is a great place to have a lovely dinner. I recommend you swing by and give them a try.
Our mains were all standout dishes: the ribeye steak was juicy and flavorful, and the Harris Ranch filet was cooked perfectly—tender and rich. The halibut filet was delicate and moist, and the short rib rigatoni was absolutely excellent, hearty and full of depth.
We finished with the flourless chocolate cake, which was rich, decadent, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet.
Overall, great food, thoughtful preparation, and a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend!
Pleasantly surprised with the experience.
Four of us ordered:
grilled octopus $24
beet salad $18
fork and knife caesar $16
ranch platter $275
butter cake $16
The Ranch platter included a 38 oz tomahawk, 4 Australian lamb chops, 2 lobster tails, truffle fries, grilled asparagus, and onion rings.
Brianna was our server and she did a great job taking care of us…ultimately pushing this to a 5 star experience!
Grilled octopus was definitely a big winner! I’m not sure if the ranch platter was necessarily worth it for the quantity of food, but definitely a great platter of food for a good photo op.
Street parking only. Parking can definitely be difficult during peak hours. I ended up parking behind Florentine’s.
My favorite dishes — and my daughter’s — are the pan‑seared salmon and the pan‑seared halibut. My partner loves the Black Angus burger and Mary’s rosemary chicken. The stuffed mushrooms and the fried chicken with cornbread are our favorite shared plates, and the berry cobbler is our go‑to dessert.
The ambiance is warm and inviting. We always dine outside, and the heat lamps, blankets, and cozy chairs make it perfect. This is truly our favorite restaurant, and we will continue to come often.
Good:
– The service was so good! It’s so pretty and nice inside, dimly lit
– I enjoyed my pork chop a lot – the apricot sauce added a lot to the experience and there’s so much food
– The crab cake was a tasty dessert
– They had a nice birthday dessert for my dad and the bread pudding was so tasty too!
Bad:
– Overall it’s pretty expensive so come only for special occasions
– Food arrived slowly
Overall would have to find another special occasion to come again!
We went on a Saturday night and even though it was crowded, it never felt too noisy. The ambiance was perfect for both couples and larger groups like ours.
Eric took care of us and he was fantastic, and the bussers were just as attentive. Seriously, the service here is top-notch.
Now the food… wow.
I had the scallops and they were unbelievably good. My friend had the vegetable pappardelle and loved it, my daughter had the pasta with pork and devoured it, and the pork ribs at our table were a huge hit.
And yes, I stole a couple of fries from my friend, they were as good as McDonald’s (and that’s saying something!).
We ordered several appetizers and every single one was amazing: the crispy sushi, the Mexican street corn, and the grilled octopus, which was the star of the night for me.
Highly recommend this place. Excellent food, outstanding service, and a great atmosphere. We’re definitely coming back!
