I ate dinner at Rancho Pinot with my boyfriend and liked it but I don't think I would return. The decor is very arizona/southwestern, with old timey pictures framed on the wall, postcard lampshades, and a big saguaro cactus skeleton in the center. There aren't a ton of vegetarian options but there is one entree, a couple of appetizers, and some sides.
I ordered the vegetarian entree, Roasted Vegetables & Risotto Cake. It was nice to get a plate of different vegetables that I didn't have to chop or cook myself, and most of them were delicious. The risotta cake was just okay and seemed to me like average leftover risotta balled together and fried. My boyfriend had the braised berkshire pork, which the waiter described as a southwestern flavored deconstructed posole. My boyfriend said the pork was really tender but that the flavors weren't really pronounced. I had a cocktail with my dinner (a small cocktail menu but you can ask them to do whatever with the liquors they already have) and my boyfriend had a beer (they only had a few options but mostly all local brews). I was planning on ordering dessert but didn't see anything on the menu that interested me, which was a little disappointing. Our service seemed slow, as in it was a good 20 minutes after our plates were cleared and empty drink glasses taken away before our server came back to check on whether we wanted to see the dessert menu.
Overall Rancho Pinot just seems a little too expensive for what the experience and food is.
