This was genuinely the best octopus of my life…read more I got the Spanish octopus only because I didn't feel like eating meat but it was the best decision I could've made. It was super tender and the gochujang flavoring with braised cabbage was incredible. They give you complimentary bread and the quality was great. It was warm, buttery and fluffy but that wasn't even the best part. It came with a side of butter in the shape of Porsches topped with flaky sea salt. Our server was nice and the food came out in about 15 minutes. The restaurant was relatively empty since it was close to closing time but they didn't make us feel pressured to leave. It was also my boyfriend's birthday so they kindly gave us a chocolate dessert to celebrate.

Came with Paul and Kevin and we had to sit at bar as all the tables were booked opening time on Friday morning! Food's really good. We got a bartender that's a foodie so didn't steer us wrong. Had the octopus, the tuna carpaccio, duck fat fries, spinach, and the pork loin. I wasn't too impressed with the pork loin, it was ok, I wouldn't order it again. But everything else was really good. Also had their mint condition cocktail and it's really tasty. The restaurant also overlooks the track so if you're lucky, you get a table by the window and can watch the cars but they only go out on the track during specific times.

Jollof Platter- 8.5/10 although jollof is not my favorite african food, I can admire how well made the catfish and jollof was. came with plantains, salad, pickled onion, and beans. sticky plantain pudding - 8.5/10 i lovee toffee puddings but i'd say the plantain flavor is very subtle, and wayy too sweet. the portion size is also small for the price, although it was perfect after a filling meal

The tables are close together and space is a premium here. I ordered a Young Fashioned and the Short Rib. Both were absolutely perfect. My friend ordered the Jollof platter and I was envious.

I ordered a Jana garden salad with sliced grilled chicken. My cousin had a petite steak with veggies and whipped potatoes. The portions were good and nicely plated. We had a late lunch with a group of 12 people. They checked on us frequently and automatically filled the water glasses without being asked. There are doors that exit right by the pool. This is very convenient if you are hungry or thirsty after a swim. I would definitely return to dine here when I am in the area. Sincerely, Rosemary Red carpet serv!

(There is also free parking at the adjacent businesses if you're a customer there. Ie. Hannam Chain) Nice, upscale vibes. The bartenders greeted us and welcomed us to sit anywhere in the dining area. It was just the hubby and I and another customer in the entire restaurant with plenty of tables and lounge chairs. There is also a view of the pool area next to the restaurant. The beet salad is plated beautifully and delicious. The only weak link is the fries and ranch which is okay. Hummus, veggies, pita chips, bread are a great start. I chose a simple club sandwich wrap and just added mayo. Hubby chose the chicken sandwich with cheese. All was tasty and the 2nd half of my wrap was still good for the next day's lunch. Hubby liked his sangria. For dessert they brought out two complimentary chocolate chip cookies with oats and walnuts. It's been a very long time since I've had their popular Doubletree cookies. They are wonderful! Great service, atmosphere, and food! 4.5 rounded down to 4.

The food comes out instantly because everything is pre-made and sitting, nothing is actually fresh, and if it is "fresh," it's fried. The beer isn't even cold. The service is okay, but the overpriced menu doesn't match what you actually get. I ordered a Cuban listed at $19, and they charged me almost $24. Same with the drink--they charged $17 for my drink when it clearly said 15 The ambiance is loud music and a lot of pretentious locals. This place sucks.

I wasn't impressed with those, sad to say. There was little meat on the bones. Also, it was dry & tough to chew, as if they'd been microwaved. I could clearly tell, because it was a chore, to saw the meat from the bones. The grilled broccoli was burnt but the sweet potatoes were good. Not a good value for the cost of the meal. Wood Ranch could use a real pit master because that barbecue is disappointing. On a lighter note, the atmosphere is relaxed and the service was great.
