    Second visit to the Plumed Horse and we were impressed. The 8 course tasting service was phenomenal! Small dishes with sweet and savory flavors that danced around in our mouths. Excellent service from all the staff and such culinary talent from the chef. We were celebrating a belated Valentines Day and judging by the full dining room, a lot of couples had the same idea. We look forward to another fantastic dining experience at the Plumed Horse.

    The staff was incredible - the food even better. Our server recommended some incredible dishes (Burrata, Chinese Chicken Salad, Broccolini, and the Chocolate Chip Cookies, to name a few). We ended up ordering all of her recommendations and were so glad we did so! Truly the food was so delicious. Especially the broccolini - I can't wait to go back and eat it again. The ambiance is simply luxurious. Go at sunset if you can!!

    This place is so aesthetic with mood lighting, high ceiling, and a buzzing atmosphere. Service from Makaela was top notch fantastic on Galentine’s (2/13)! We need more people like her. Cocktails were good. I got the Crimson & Clover (refreshing) and my friend got the spicy Tree of Life. Food was plated beautifully and the only complaint was saltiness for the pasta, pork chop, and mushrooms. We let them know. Flavors were delicious aside from that. They serve complimentary amouse bouche (savory cone with steak tartare & caviar that day), a palate cleanser to sip on (chilled honey citrus liquid), and even mini waffle bowls filled with chocolate ganache. So many nice surprises! We ended the night with sweet, hot n freshly fried loukomades beignets with honey, nuts, and angelaise cream hand poured table side. Excellent experience!

    Incredible as always! Hero Ranch is a small, intimate restaurant that consistently delivers some of the best food in the South Bay. The execution is always flawless, with a menu that keeps my favorites while regularly introducing exciting new dishes. Their ribeye is perfectly cooked, the octopus is tender and flavorful, and the beet salad is a refreshing standout. The ahi appetizer is a must-try, and their cocktails are expertly crafted. Whether you’re coming for a special night out or just craving exceptional food, Hero Ranch never disappoints!
