| - Update - 01/09/2016 - I went back! I went for dinner, instead of breakfast. I'll leave the old 1 star review below for posterity, but I am changing it to a 5 star. I found out the place is under new management and so I gave it another shot. I am glad I did. Wait staff was attentive yet not smothering. Food was excellent. I had a deconstructed wellington with Elk. My friend had a Steak. Both delicious. I had the wild boar belly and I'd kill for the sauce recipe. It was as good as Alloy's Pork belly's which I liked (only thing I like there) and was probably better. My Friend had the Prawns and they were perfectly cooked in a nice sauce.
My deconstructed Wellington had a fun/unique presentation to it and I felt like I was eating something made with pride.
All in all good food, good wine, good service. We will be back and I'm thank full for new ownership and second chances. Bravo, happily changing my review from 1 star to 5.

**Update - 2014** Took five days but funny enough as I wrote this review an email response did come. They have asked me back to try the Eggs Benny again. I'm undecided if I will bother, but at least they responded... Manager was on vacation apparently.

I went here for breakfast... a precursor to a plan to come for a steak night with a friend... but I wanted to try their Eggs Benedict (I'm a bit of a Eggs benny fan, always looking for the next delicious one) and see the place. After my experience I will not be giving any more business to the Ranche Restaurant.
First I'd like to point out I sent an email complaining to them about my experience and I have allowed 5 days for a response. I got nothing. So here I am.
- The waiter was nice at first but with 2 waiters and 2 helpers and a total of 6 tables, after selling us a Champaign and orange juice he didn't deliver our food or stop to check on us again until after both our plates were empty.
- I had no coffee from before my meal arrived until a helper stopped by after I was finished eating. He was the first person to check on us since our food arrived. And I didn't eat fast as I wanted to send it back.
- No Salt, no Pepper, condiments of any type.
- No checking to see if everything came out al right. As I hinted at - It didn't.
- My eggs were WELL DONE. Eggs Benny - unless you say otherwise - should be a soft poached egg. Cut into it and yolk run out. These were like hard boiled... I would have sent them back but he just never came back to ask us how things were.
- Tiny English muffin, skimpy piece of ham, scarce sauce and eggs cooked until the yolk was a light hard solid yellow. Maybe the worst eggs benny I have ever had... Denny's does a better job. Buffet eggs Benny are better.
In a place like this I don't expect to have to wave my hand or snap my fingers to get service especially when the staff out number the guests. Ridiculous. How as a server do you not come ask your table - how is everything... especially if you didn't deliver the food. I should not have two bites down prior to a server asking me if I'm good. If your going have a male serve me, he could at least not suck at his job.
Emailing a complaint and no manger bothers to respond... even to tell me to bugger off. No one at this place gives a crap and it shows.
Reputation is a funny thing, you have it until its gone... these guys are on their way out.
