Each course was beautifully presented and thoughtfully curated. The way chili and chocolate were infused throughout the menu was creative, balanced, and surprisingly sophisticated. Every dish felt intentional bold flavors layered perfectly without overpowering one another. The service was just as impressive. Melissa was warm, attentive, and knowledgeable about each course, which elevated the entire evening. You could feel the care and coordination from the whole team. Major compliments to Chef Reese and the entire staff for creating such a unique and memorable Valentine's experience. It wasn't just dinner it was an event. We'll absolutely be back, and I highly recommend experiencing one of their special dinners if you get the chance. Johnny and Marina

I am glad to see Ridgecrest is expanding as this was a new shopping center with a few fast food places, including a Starbucks and ice cream.

I've been coming to this habit for quite sometime and food is alright but is always the same with…read morethe same woman I try to ignore her but is insane how rude she is with the nastiest attitude, I'm a paying customer and part of the fact that you are paying a food establishment is to get good food with great service, something everytime I come by is non existent with this chick, I asked her for an extra lettuce and she gave me the dirtiest look and I asked her is everything okay and she said "Yah" meanwhile she rolled her eyes at me, the craziest part was that I was able to smell alcohol on her breath which is crazy I mean I know people have lives outside of work but on the job smelling like vodka? also why is she allowed to use fake long nails if she is working in a fast food restaurant ? That's unsanitary she could barely use her hands with those nails. after she finished taking my order I asked her name "Helena" I believe it said and she pointed at the batch I said thank you and she said uh uh... And then she turn to some other girl and spoke Spanish to her I couldn't understand what she said but her english was broken so I could tell she was hispanic. rudest individual I have ever encountered. We went the other day with my husband and my mother in law and again she was rude and was rushing us. I do not feel welcome in this place maybe the fact that I'm white ? But I do not want to make it racial but I have never felt the way I've felt at this place.

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.

The food is always delicious and large portions - the "lunch" size is available all day and always plenty of food for me! I got the large carnitas plate (meat was cooked perfectly!) and I took enough leftovers home for two more meals. They have a full bar and make delicious margs with a variety of flavors (unfortunately I have no pictures because I'm always too focused on drinking them) Service can be a bit slow for dinner on a weekend, but during the week when it's less busy it's always been quick! The ambiance is nice, basic with art for sale on the walls from local (student) artists which is a nice touch!
