    Ranch steak
    Lila G.

    I have been here on occasion but do not come very often. My mother wanted to eat here for her birthday. We were a party of eight and just heads up for reservations of eight people or more you will have to provide your credit card information and if you failed to show up or cancel last minute, you'll be charged $50 per person in the party. The booths are very roomy, and we all fit comfortably. All of the cocktails were deliciously made, and well balanced. As far as food, there are no complaints from any of us. I can't go wrong with the pistachio crusted calamari steak. I sampled the tri-tip sandwich , french fries and brussels sprouts and Cobb salad. Everything was on point. Service was also great and I feel like for what we spent, It was a good value.

    Came here for my sisters birthday. The kiwi coconut drink was yummy and not strong taste wise which I liked. My sister on the other hand wasn't expecting so much ginger in her mocktail so she couldn't finish it was spicy lol. Food was good I just wish the potatoes were warmer but it was on a busy Saturday. The Mac n cheese was hot so maybe they were waiting for that while the other plates were ready. Our waitress was so lovely she treated us so well like she had known us so sad I didn't get her name. Super sweet brunette with chest tattoos. I also liked how they were playing the World Cup game it wasn't too rowdy or loud. Perfect b day or dinner date spot!

    Came here for a friend's birthday and they had messed up on the reservation for 7 people, they then had to squeeze us into a booth with a chair at the end to make up for it some time later. Not great. Service was great, our waters were constantly filled by our server without asking. Food took a very long time to come out, even the server had to come by and apologize to us about the wait time. After about 30-45 mins, the food was impressive. I got the calamari steak and it was delicious and cooked to the right tenderness. Inside is very dim but stays busy overall. Good for hanging out or a date night spot. Would like to try other items on the menu

    I came here on a Saturday night for a friend's birthday with a reservation. But apparently they messed up the reservation and thought it was under someone else? We had it for 5pm but we didn't get seated till 5:30-5:45pm. The restaurant was nice with a little fire pit in the waiting area. We had a group of 7 people and our server Zach was very nice. He took our orders right away. The drinks and appetizers came out first. However, it took a very long time for us to get our entrees. Even our server had to come to our table to apologize for the delay. I understand it was busy but we sat there for a long time. We didn't leave till 7-7:30pm. Even getting our water refilled took a while too. They were nice enough to let us put our birthday cake in their fridge for us and bring out a lighter to light the candle, plates and utensils. When we finally got our food it was delicious. I really wanted to give this place 4 stars but because of how long we were in there and the confusion on the reservation I gave it a 3.

    Made reservations for my birthday dinner and it did not disappoint! Everything we ordered was sooo good. It's a big restaurant but the service was still fast and attentive. Highlights were the oysters and calamari steak apps!

    This place is definitely becoming a favorite of mine. I've made it a point to try something new every time I visit, and this time I ordered the spicy seafood pasta 10/10. The only thing I wished for was a few more Fresno chiles to bring up the heat a bit. I skipped the mussels (not my thing), and they were happy to add extra shrimp instead. My friend ordered the steak with mushrooms and Brussels sprouts, which were phenomenal. We also shared the artichoke appetizer, and it was really, really good. Our server, Desiree, was phenomenal all night. She was attentive, kept up with everything we needed, and was so easy to talk to. She's the kind of server who makes the whole experience more fun. She definitely helped make our night stand out. We finished the evening with an Old Fashioned and a glass of The Setting, which is by far one of my favorite wines I've had at Yo Ranch. For dessert, we had the cheesecake with the berry compote. The cheesecake was very creamy and absolutely delicious.

    Lively place with a long wait time, making a reservation helps. The vibe is dark and cozy. Staff is kind and informative. Floors are a bit hard to walk on so if wearing heels be cautious. As for what i ordered Shrimp linguine - 6 out of 10, flavor is very subtle and I'm used to more flavor. For the price you do get a decent amount of pasta. Brussels sprouts - 10 out of 10, can't deny they are delicious Fries - 8 out of 10, these are tasty it seems like they are different each time I go but they are good enough Lemon drop - is perfect not that strong or sweet, can easily have too much of these Overall i think this is a good choice when it comes to finding a place to have drinks and apps at !

    Crème brûlée
    Mai N.

    My friend and I stopped here for dinner and it was her first time. After checking in for our reservation we were seated within 10 minutes which wasn't too bad considering how busy it was on a Saturday. I highly recommend getting reservations at least a few days to a week in advance since the book up quickly. We sat in the bar area which was slightly loud but not too bad. We were still able to have conversations without feeling like we're shouting. Our waitress was very kind and was patient with us while we looked over the menu. I ended up getting the meatloaf and I'm glad I did. It was so flavorful and not dry at all. The mashed potatoes were delicious. For dessert we got crème brûlée and bread pudding with the ice cream on the side. Everything tasted amazing.

    Wow everything was so flavorful! Make reservations ahead of time. Very busy and tight space especially where we sat. Everything we ordered was delicious. I especially like the dessert! The only con was the Mac. It was a lot good but it was a lot of sauce and not enough of the pasta.

    Bianca C.

    Not my first time but made reservations for an anniversary celebration. Seated after a 5 minute wait. Had two waitresses. Nice and speedy. Old fashion - 5/5 House bread - 3/5 Fire cracker shrimp - 3/5 Calamari steak - 3/5 Brussels - 2.5/5 Mac and cheese - 2/5 Loaded mashed potatoes - 3.5/5 New York steak - 3.5/5 Overall an ok dining experience.

    Stephanie A.

    I love a mocktail and the Golden Hour with agave was delicious. Salmon cooked on oak was tasty and not over cooked. Prompt service, delicious food. It is noisy when crowded with lots of hard surfaces so if you are sensitive to noise, eat early and often.

    Carissa! Thank you so much for making our experience amazing! you are a superstar here! We felt very welcomed and our drinks were never empty! The food is always on point here. I had a seasonal blackberry cake dessert and it was super smooth. I always get the ribeye here medium rare! Mac and cheese and the Brussel sprouts are always my go to! The music is always a great playlist, it's dark and cozy for meetings, date nights, and birthdays! I had a group of 9 and we sat comfortably. Just call ahead. It fills up quickly! Overall, I'm a fan and a regular here. Good job guys!

    Yosemite Ranch is a nice restaurant. The interior is simple with a touch of elegance and class but still comfortable and not snobby feeling. We were promptly helped by the hostesses who were warm and friendly. Our server was friendly and efficient but service did feel a bit rushed as she would start walking away before we even finished answering her questions and the bill was dropped at the same time as the dessert among other things. Food was just ok and it took quite a long time to come to the table despite it not being that busy. The steak was disappointing as I had ordered it medium rare and it was served well done and dry. Overall just an ok restaurant but in all honesty it won't be a regular spot for us. Atmosphere: 4.5/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 3/5 Overall Value: 3.5/5 Total: 3.75/5 Price: $$ $: $0 - $50 per person $$: $50 - $100 per person $$$: $100 - $200 per person $$$$: $200 - $500 per person $$$$$: $500+ per person

    Is happy hour still all day Sunday & Monday and 4:00-6:00 Tuesday-Friday?

    Do they accept walk ins or reservation only?

    They accept reservations but also walk-ins. You may have to wait a bit if you walk in depending on how crowded it is.

    What is the corkage fee, and is it per bottle?

    The corkage fee is rather high. It is $25 per bottle.

    Do they have a banquet room?

    Nothing that closes off completely. They have an isolated area in the back where I have hosted dinner for around 20. It can accommodate more than that. If you are less than 20 people they most likely seat additional people in that area.

    Dress code?...says causal so sandals, shorts, hats?...

    Yes All acceptable

    Can you call to add your name on waitlist or will you need to physically be there to be added? **if reservations are full?

    You can call, but it is better to make a reservation on yelp.

    Do they take walk ins?

    Yes

    Is this place safe? I keep seeing stuff on the news that makes it seem like the owner doesn't take Covid seriously. Is this true?

    Didn't seem true to me. He followed health guidelines as well as trying to keep his business & employees afloat. This is a well established, clean & delicious place to eat. I honestly recommend 👌

    What is this restaurant's corkage fee?

    $20 is their corkage fee

    Is happy hour available in the whole restaurant or just the bar area?

    Happy hour is available in the whole restaurant!

    What time is happy hour?

    All day Sunday and Monday and 4-6 Tuesday through Friday

    Is the restaurant baby friendly?

    Yes it is! When I went there they had a lot of familes having dinner together and with their babies. Hope this helps.

    Does this restaurant offer a full bar?

    Yes

Studied Yelp and Google like it had the answer to life's biggest secrets. The appatizer was a dozen raw oysters on a half shell. So good!! Cocktail sauce and lemon was what was used.

I opted for rice instead of fries to balance all the fried food. The rice was a great choice but I did not expect the serving to be so massive. It was three of each item along with the coleslaw.

My favorite was surprisingly the fish, then shrimp, then oysters. I did not even come close to finishing all the fried deliciousness.

And you get HUUUUGE portions of everything. Truly blown away by the portions. If you want A LOT of food, you'll get it here. Great value! ORDER: Wanted chowder & crab but they had neither. Calamari: Decent! I like the onions. Triple Play (6 pieces of fish, fries & coleslaw): HUUUGE pieces of fish that were nicely moist. Tempura Veggies: Not tempura batter. Same batter as fish. Wouldn't order again. Head-On Shrimp: Fried too long so they were hard. Wish they'd been not so hard. Overall, I'm sure many will like this place, but my problem is the batter is too thick & not at all seasoned. This is somewhere between American & Chinese, but doesn't truly lean into either. Lemon or some acidic slaw are essential to cut thru the fried. Ketchup & hot sauce would help. Tartar sauce wasn't great. Having some non-battered/fried options would be really great. Still, I might try them again. Hope they reach their target audience.

It's not a fancy, high-end restaurant,…read morebut they absolutely know how to plate and make food that keeps their customer come back for more. Their dishes have their own unique twist, and while they may not always follow the traditional recipe, everything is incredibly flavorful and statisfying. The flavors are simple, approachable, and easy to enjoy. Making it a spot that almost everyone would love. They mainly focus on the new American table. A little fusion of some other ethnicity food here. They mainly focus on their limited menu and always wing it everytime. The consistency is always on point. I love their fresh farm to table ingredients. Their plate is super affordable and beautiful. AMBIANCE :: This place is always pack. The line are always long but it does move up pretty quick too. Indoor is always pack and stuff. They do have a large patio too. I wouldn't really recommend sitting out in the patio during the hottest time of the day but it's not that bad too. They do have mist and coolers outside. Artificial leaves covering up the place cools it down a lot too. The PROS for dinning in the patio is the fresh air. SERVICE : Is great. With the high volume of guest and crowed it is. They are so patient and friendly. RATE : 5/5 PLATES :: If you're undecided and wanted a little bit of everything. I recommend choosing a plate. You get a little bit of everything. Ill say everything taste generic but so good too. WOOD GRILLED PROTEIN : SHRIMP W/ GARLIC BUTTER : Their garlic butter shrimp is so buttery. It's slightly seasoned and salted. RATE : 5/5 WOOD GRILLED PROTEIN : SALMON W/ TZATZIKI SAUCE : I love their soft salmon with a lightly crispy crust. Llightly seasoned. It's not fishy and gamey at all. I love their tzatziki sauce and it paired so well with the lemon juice too. RATE : 5/5 WOOD GRILLED PROTEIN : ANCHO CRUSTED PRIME TRI TIP : Nicely seasoned and salted. It's always come out medium rare, tender and juicy. RATE : 5/5 NOTE :If you like medium rare pieces of beef. Go for their tri tip. If you wanted more cook go for their ribeye. The cons about their ribeye is that they are not consistent. You can ask to be remade but it does take them awhile to cook it too. SIDES : TEPPANYAKI FRIED RICE W/ BACON : I love their bacon teppanyaki rice. It's probably a must have everytime you go there. I love their sweet sauce on top of the rice. It's a kids favorite choice too. The sodium level is perfect. Usually bacon would overly salted it but this fried rice is perfect. RATE : 5/5 SIDES : RIGATONI W/ SAUSAGE, PECORINO : Straight up generic boiled pasta with sour tomato sauce and sausage. It's so simple but its ok. I'll say this could be kids top 2nd favorite side dish. RATE : 4/5 FOUNTAIN DRINKS :: I love their unique fountain drinks. It's mainly focus on Mexican fountain drinks. OVERALL :: Sometimes the best food isnt about being authentic. It's about being delicious, the art, and this restaurant definetly delivers. I can already see myself coming back for more!
