First let me say that the options in Ridgecrest are limited. You aren't going to find the best…read moreMexican food in the world here, but the Mexican restaurants are a better bet on average. But you don't want Mexican food, so what to do? Well, the ambiance and service here are fine. The food is fine. You aren't going to leave here feeling like it was a terrible experience, but you aren't going to leave trying to plan your next trip back either. My burger was slightly overcooked and slightly under seasoned. The fries were fine. The toppings were fresh. My wife's salad was mostly iceberg lettuce and a reasonable amount of over cooked chicken. Our server was fine if a little inattentive. The decor is fine. You know you're in a steakhouse-esque establishment that isn't in its hey day. But things are clean enough. I'm sure I'll be back the next time I come to Ridgecrest. Mostly because a restaurant that is 'fine' is about as good as I've found here.

Although I've been here many times before, tonight's occasion was coming here with business colleagues. The pictured Steak & Skewers was absolutely delicious and very filling. Everyone was happy with their meals and the servers did a great job serving our party of 12.

My boyfriend and I were camping in Kennedy Meadows the night before when we realized we did not…read moreprepare for 20 degree weather. So we drove down and randomly saw this place and decided to have dinner. We ended up speaking with the owner. We asked about lodging and he told us he did not have anything available. He came back to ask us how we're doing and we asked if there was other lodging close by. He said they would most likely be booked. We told him about the night before and how we were very unprepared for cold weather. In front of him I told my boyfriend that we can sleep in the truck again, no worries. Next thing I know the owner came by again and said he has a camper for friends and family that no one is in and he offered it to us, saying he felt bad that we froze. We were elated. I have never felt more grateful and it reminded me that there really are kind souls. He walked us over and provided us towels and turned the heat up. It was perfect. We sat by the fire pit with others, who all had nothing but kind words about this place. People come every year and stay here. I felt such a warm welcome from everyone. My boyfriend and I are so thankful for the owners. We both said we can't wait to come here more and hopefully decades down the road we can stay in the same camper and reminisce. I will tell everyone about this place. It's nothing fancy but it's definitely special! Thank you for making my entire weekend.

Good food but not the service!…read more I came here few time because that's my mom in law's favorite place to dine in. My husband and I drove from LA to take her and her husband for birthday dinner. Here is my positive and negative review based on our experience when we were there. Positive: Food cook perfectly as we asked for. We have 12oz and 8oz fillet mignon, 2 orders rib eyes steak for mom and her husband, large suchini appetizer. Pickle is delicious, you can ask as much as you want for free, good bread. The owner stop by at our table, my mom gave him compliment about the website video he done such a great one, so my mind automatically expect great service. Neg: My mom has reservation at 6PM, we arrived 5 mins b4 6, they didn't have or can't find my mom reservation. Waiting a bit then get our table at the last room due to a large parties were at the patio and crowded and noisy which no big deal for us, we can see the big parties from our window room. It took an hour for our steak, salad served with a warm bowl, suchini too dry to eat. By the time the steak ready, we are half full with bread, salad, pickle and appetizer. 5 minute after the waitress brought the food to us, my mom asked a box to go, my husband ate not even half of his steak, I can't finish my meal either. We are so full end up to bring our food home. The waitress take too long to bring our bill and we still waited again for our debit card back then walk to look the waitress at the bar ask our card. The whole experience is not my expectation with the money we spent we should get better service, also few flies and mosquito flying around on our food. I hope they consider to improve the service better in future

Amazing. Met the owner and he was delightful…read more Service was top-notch. The food was spectacular and authentic French Provençal (and every other style). I'm a snob about French cooking (I lived in Châteuaroux, 200km south of Paris in the countryside for 2 years). Very little I've EVER eaten outside of there was been this amazing. And none better. Pure perfection. Ridgecrest is lucky to have this gem. It's like a small country cafe inside: comfortable.

The interior decor was a lot of fun to see, and the owners clearly take pride in their interior design. This place is known for the prime rib. I very rarely order prime rib from anywhere but I thought I'd try it. The soup was a mushroom-type soup and it was delicious and filling. I would have been left extremely satisfied had I only had the soup. The prime rib was tender and tasty. Fries were also delicious. The waitress kept checking on us and made sure our glasses remained full. We felt like she genuinely enjoyed working there.
