My first time at this place and I was welcomed by Jeremy at the bar. Asked for his suggestion on what food to get and he recommended the Pork Stroganoff. It did not disappoint, however, it needed just a little bit more salt. Just a tiny bit. Other than that I had a great time and will go back again.

Loved this restaurant since they were located in Maple Lawn. Great food and service. Bartender Jeremy is a freaking incredible! The cilantro margarita is a new and unexpected favorite. The ceviche is the best in the area.

New hidden gem in Columbia! Sited in the former Hickory Ridge grill in the Hickory Ridge village center.Incredible food, unbelievable service, modern, comfortable and very cool space. Cocktails and prices not to be believed! Thank you, Robbie! Much success. Can’t wait to come back!!

The vibe is much warmer than its previous location. Last night (Tuesday) two of us popped in for dinner. Even though I could have walked there from my house, I didn’t know anyone, which is great, because it means plenty of people are finding this neighborhood gem. People were at the bar, and at tables. We had excellent patatas bravas, risotto with lump crab, Caesar salad, and a salmon small plate. The chef made an alternate preparation to accommodate my friend’s need for gluten free. The white wine albarino was a delicious choice.

The staff was very nice, and the food was good overall. The Peruvian chicken was disappointing, and the entree options were not as plentiful, even with this being a wine bar and tapas restaurant.
The atmosphere is so-so. I didn’t get a particular war impression of the space. The service, however, was very nice.
Probably a one-and-done for us.

Just enjoyed an amazing 4 course wine dinner at Ranazul. No better way to learn about the wine than from the winemaker from Spain. Perfect pairings & very attentive service. The chef is amazing!

I had the opportunity to try Ranazul on Saturday. I understand that Howard County is having a restaurant week, but this does not excuse the poor quality of food. The first dish that I tried was the beef tacos. The flavor of the meat was excellent, and the caramelized onions were a nice touch. However, the tortilla needed to be cooked longer, and the salsa served was a generic brand salsa like Chi-Chi’s. The second dish I tried was the Peruvian chicken. The garlic-heavy sauce was decent, but the chicken was drier than a summer month in Nevada. The third dish I tried was the chicken alfredo. Not only was the chicken dry, but the only flavor it had was the char from the skillet. The alfredo sauce tasted like Bertolli brand with no salt or pepper, and the noodles were not al dente. The person I was with ordered the Crunchy Honey Soy Shrimp, Crispy Chicken, and the Salmon Medallion. None of the dishes they tried were worth finishing. The waitress was young and nice but had no clue about the bar options and had to continuously ask a coworker about the different drink options. Overall disappointing experience, and I 10/10 DO NOT RECOMMEND.

I’ve dined in the area so many times and finally stopped into Ranazul. My friend and I celebrated a job promotion. We got there right around 5 PM and shortly after the bar was packed. We ordered everything from the calamari, ceviche, salmon avocado sashimi, pork stroganoff, and their shrimp orzo. The sashimi was delicious and plenty of fish per dish. The stroganoff was really good with the tender pork tenderloin and mushroom sauce. My friend and I agreed the shrimp orzo was one of the best dishes. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the orzo with the brown butter sauce makes this dish a must order. Service here was perfect. Even with a full bar we were served really quickly. This is a fun place to enjoy some drinks and yummy tapas.

This is a pretty nice restaurant. I can’t quite pin down a theme; some Latin, some seafood, some American. Overall the food was good but nothing that I will be rushing back for. The server was very friendly and attentive.
