Kitchen

Went here for my birthday on the recommendation of a “foodie” on Instagram, her recommendation did not disappoint. This restaurant is a little more pricey and more “fine dinning” if you will. Not casual by any means but the environment is very relaxed and unpretentious. The food is spectacular, the service was impeccable and friendly. I didn’t feel out of place at all. Our server was very sweet and helpful with any questions about the menu I had. I will definitely be going back. Everything we tried was beyond tasty. There are so many more things I want to try. I would highly recommend giving this place a try. Parking can be tricky is it’s in the heart of downtown Saratoga but it also adds to the experience as there are many other shops and things to do.

This was our first visit and will definitely be back. We wanted to try it out to celebrate a birthday. It is pricey and we were waiting for a celebratory reason to go. We sat inside which is very nice, but the outdoor area is an also inviting on a warm evening. The starters are amazing. There were so many we wanted to try that we ordered four different ones and then shared two entrees. The Ahi Tuna tower and Octopus were the favorite of the appetizers, but can't wait to go back to try different options. The rib eye was delicious and we enjoyed the halibut although it was slightly overcooked. They comped the caramel popcorn sundae dessert for the birthday which was very kind.

Where do I even start with this raving ten star review? ⭐️ We’ve dined at Hero Ranch many times before, along with its sister restaurant Flowers Saratoga that is adjacent. So when it came time to celebrate three of our birthdays, it was an easy choice to come here. We made reservations a week in advance. When we arrived, we were promptly greeted by a friendly hostess. We sat outside on the patio which was cozy with heaters and individual blankets at each seat. While the cocktails and food were excellent, what truly made our celebration extraordinary was the exceptional service from our server, Richard. He was thoughtful, engaging, humorous, and an incredible listener, perfectly resonating with our group's personalities. Additionally, the other staff members who assisted us throughout the night were incredibly kind and friendly. At the end of the night, we were pleasantly surprised with birthday desserts, ice cream topped with caramel popcorn and a candle, which was delicious. And to top it all off, several employees were wonderful enough to join in on singing happy birthday to us, adding a magical and sweet touch to our evening. I'd like to manage expectations for other customers by mentioning that the restaurant staff doesn't typically sing "Happy Birthday" to customers, so it felt particularly special to us when they did join in on the celebration. It's evident that this business evokes a culture that values their patrons, and we can't say enough good things about Richard's attentive service with a constant warm smile. We wish we had gotten the names of everyone else, but you can see them in our video. We've been raving to our friends and family about how amazing our night was, and we're already looking forward to coming back soon. Thank you for creating such a memorable experience!

Jasmine was our server and she was lovely! I ordered the “riddle me this” to start and husband got a beer. We started with the fried cheese curds, so good! We out our order for food all at the same time with the apps so as soon as we were done with the curds Jasmine put the order for steak. Was nervous because I saw on the reviews steak was overdone for some people but it was perfect ! I got it medium rare. We finished with a bottle of rose and a cobbler which was delicious. Everything was so nice, atmosphere and service. Came for a special occasion would come again

Delicious food, great service, and we brought our own bottle of wine for corkage – which they were incredibly accommodating with. We ordered the crispy sushi appetizer, the bacon wrapped shrimp, scallops and steak. Since it was near Valentine’s Day, they even gave complimentary champagne! Fantastic service!

Wasn’t able to get a reservation on a Wednesday night, but was able to sit at the bar for a party of 2. Bar seats were super comfy and it was an experience watching all the delicious food come out of the kitchen. Server was amazing and food was incredible! We opted to order and share a few appetizers and portions were just right for us. Left us satisfied and still have room for dessert. The only negative thing was the Caramel Popcorn Sundae. We ordered the dessert because we wanted to try the caramel chip ice cream. Instead, we got vanilla and chocolate ice cream instead. Should have let us know and we would have picked another dessert.

Celebrated a couple birthdays. We had a large group and had to sit in the back room. Did feel like we were in the garage. Food was amazing: scallops, chicken and cornbread, bunch of salads, halibut and a steak dish. Steak was really good, very tender. The grilled octopus was the highlight of the meal. Perfectly seasoned and grilled...super tender. For dessert get the warm butter cake or the bread pudding. Excellent service.

I have been to The Hero Ranch Kitchen twice and each time it was amazing! The food and drinks are of great quality and always leave you wanting more! As for drinks, my favorite has been the Bloomade cocktail (so light and refreshing)! If you like sushi/sashimi, the Hamachi Carpaccio and Crispy Sushi Bites are delightful. Both times I’ve ordered a steak and they have come out cooked to perfection! And lastly they are not joking, when they call it the BEST butter cake! I can one to myself, it’s that good! The service has been wonderful as well! This last visit, our server Ryan was very attentive and got along so well with our group! Will definitely be coming back to Hero Ranch!

Upon entering the restaurant, we were pleased with the pleasant ambiance and decided to dine there. The staff was welcoming and assisted us in quickly finding a table. The food was meticulously prepared and beautifully presented, as evident in the pictures I took. Not only did the dishes look appetizing, but they tasted just as good, and all of my companions enjoyed their meals. If you opt to sit outside, the restaurant provides cozy blankets and reliable heaters. I highly recommend visiting this establishment when exploring the Saratoga region.

came here got dinner. We chose to sit outside. they had heaters and blankets at each table. we started with the fried chicken & corn bread which was good, and we also had the crispy sushi also good. Both apps were tasty but a tad pricey for what you get imo. my wife had the ribeye & I had the pork chop which were both excellent. for dessert we got the butter cake which was excellent, and they gave us the caramel popcorn sundae (which was our second choice) because we were having a celebratory dinner. Sundae was also good, but between the two I'd go for butter cake. service was great. I would come back again.

The Hero Ranch Kitchen delivers a fantastic dining experience with delicious, high-quality food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. The ingredients taste fresh, and every dish is prepared with great care and flavor. The staff is friendly, attentive, and makes you feel right at home. Whether for a casual meal or a special occasion, this restaurant is a great choice. Highly recommended!

No free tables at 5pm Friday. Scallops are amazing, great service. Book in advance

🥃i am amazed by this cool place called: The Hero Ranch Kitchen, tucked away in Saratoga. It's the sister restaurant of Flowers Saratoga, but unlike the Michelin-style Flowers, this place offers a casual farm-style fusion of French and Italian cuisine, at a lower price point. Plus, it's conveniently located! Half of the seating area is outdoors, showcasing a charming farm ambiance that lets you savor the open-air atmosphere. I've been there once with friends after a shooting session, and now on my second visit, I'm sure it will be a different yet equally rewarding experience. 🥃The restaurant is famous for its small plates, perfect for sharing among a group of friends. My companion and I tried two appetizers, two main courses, and enjoyed three drinks. Since I don't drink alcohol, I was glad they offered mocktails, non-alcoholic cocktails, too! 🍹 🥃Appetizers: 🥂Rack of Lamb: $28. This dish is a highlight and a must-try for friends. It's definitely a main course-sized portion and can be enjoyed as such. It's seasoned with a special lemon tomato sauce and unique spices! 🥂Grilled Mexican Street Corn: $10. This dish is incredibly appetizing and delicious. The portion size is not too big, making it highly recommended! 🥃Main courses: 🥂Cowboy Ribeye with Lobster Tail: $68. I chose this dish as it was a special offering for the day, a seasonal item. Since my friend really wanted to try it, we decided to order it. The lobster tail was incredibly tender, and the ribeye was cooked to perfection. However, I didn't find it particularly outstanding. I can only say that for the price, the combination of lobster and ribeye was definitely worth it! 🥂Seafood Dumpling Pasta: $32. I particularly loved the Italian-style dumpling pasta, paired with crab paste. It was a delightful experience to chew on it. However, it was a bit heavy on carbs. Otherwise, I could have easily devoured two bowls myself! 🥃Parking is available on the street, and there are a few small parking lots in the first few blocks, although they require a short walk. 🥃The total bill for two people came to just over $200, including tips and gratuity, averaging $100 per person. If you enjoy fine dining, I recommend gathering a group of three to five friends, sipping on some cocktails, and enjoying a wonderful evening together.

Great service. The steak was nicely cooked topped with truffle butter. My go to drink "Old Fashioned" was perfectly done. Nice atmosphere, parking can be a premium, but can't hold that against them. Will come back for the high quality food they serve.

Celebrated my son's birthday first time here. Overall everything we've ordered was a success (with minor caveats), the vibe is really good, snd the service was good but somewhat slow. Food is pricey but imo you get your money's worth. Cocktails weren't that great - my old fashioned didn't have a ton of flavor in it and not much alcohol. For starters I recommend friend chicken and cornbread, beet salad (if you like beets), cheese curds (but it'll fill you up quickly). The crispy sushi was just OK, I'd skip. For entrée the ribeye was very well made, and the scallops were fantastic. The baby back ribs were also delicious but a rather small portion. We also got the 14oz lobster tail special - it was good but nowhere close to 14oz (maybe with the plate it was 😂) All in all great food great service great atmosphere.

If you're scanning for a great farm-to-table restaurant, I recommend The Hero Ranch Kitchen in Saratoga, CA. For a little more background, my wife recently came across The Hero Ranch Kitchen and wanted to try it with our family. So, we saddled up and went out for a nice dinner. Parking can be a little tricky in Saratoga, but we found a spot in a parking area behind the shops across the street on 5th Street. We sat in what initially looks like outdoor seating, but it was covered above and on the sides with space heaters on a cold night. It was pretty comfortable. The waitstaff was pleasant and ensured our water glasses never went dry. We began with the Buttermilk Fried Chicken and Cornbread and Truffle Fries starters. Very nice. My wife had the Harris Ranch Prime Filet. My son had the Sweet & Sticky Country Baby Back Ribs. I had the ridiculously tasty 1/2 Lb Hero Ranch Black Angus Burger. For dessert, we had the amazingly tasty Caramel Popcorn Sundae. Everyone was pleased with their meals, and I couldn't seem to put my spoon down with the dessert we shared in front of me. All in all, The Hero Ranch Kitchen is a great place to have a lovely dinner. I recommend you swing by and give them a try.

Great for our out of town guests, we got to experience the seasonal, farm to table menu of The Hero Ranch Kitchen. HRK is the perfect balance of comfort food, classics, and the unique twist on a traditional dish. In the winter, they have a covered, heated outdoor patio as well as an indoor dining room. Fair warning this time of year- they keep the dining room door open the entire time so the room can get quite cold. The staff is attentive and friendly, ready to give you a recommendation or time to peruse more over the menu. Because let me tell you, it will be difficult to pick just one entree. Or appetizer. We’re so excited to go back just so we can try some of the other amazing things on the menu. Standouts definitely were the pan-seared scallops (the flavor combo over the four not-too-big, not-too-small scallops is devine), halibut, ribs (large and fall off the bone with the biggest onion rings you’ve ever seen), and the filet (impressively tender and perfectly cooked). To start, the two crab cakes and tempura green beans were both delicious. At the end they surprised our birthday guest with a sundae - two scoops of ice cream over caramel popcorn and mascarpone whipped cream. I’m not a fan of caramel popcorn and this was fantastic. Hidden gem of HRK- you can bring up to SIX bottles with no corkage, with each after six costing $25/bottle. Talk about another reason to come back! Regardless of corkage, our meal was fantastic; we cannot wait to come back to try all the other goodies.

We had the most amazing experience and will return every time we are in the area! Perfect “pairing” with Mountain Winery 😉 The hostesses were very friendly and accommodating (able to waitlist us and seat us timely), wait staff was attentive, food was delicious (especially crab cakes, strawberry butter cake, and flourless chocolate cake) 😋!!! HRK has a great wine selection as well!!

We had a fantastic dinner at Hero Ranch Kitchen. We started with two cocktails—both were vibrant and full of fresh fruit flavor. For appetizers, the salad was crisp and refreshing, and the octopus was impressively tender. Our mains were all standout dishes: the ribeye steak was juicy and flavorful, and the Harris Ranch filet was cooked perfectly—tender and rich. The halibut filet was delicate and moist, and the short rib rigatoni was absolutely excellent, hearty and full of depth. We finished with the flourless chocolate cake, which was rich, decadent, and perfectly balanced—not too sweet. Overall, great food, thoughtful preparation, and a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend!

I will cherish the memory of this restaurant forever and I am definitely planning to return. First of all, the service was outstanding; our server Jasmine was incredible—she was attentive, kind, and provided excellent recommendations. We visited to celebrate my partner's birthday, and they truly exceeded our expectations by giving him a birthday card and presenting a lovely dessert at the end of our meal. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. I ordered the Harris ranch fillet, which was incredibly buttery, smooth, and cooked to perfection, while the scalloped potatoes complemented the steak beautifully. My partner chose the apricot glazed pork chops, and he commented that they were extraordinary, claiming he had never tasted pork chops so flavorful. Everything felt genuinely special, and the staff were all friendly, making our experience delightful. I am eagerly looking forward to returning.

Stopped by Hero Ranch Kitchen for my dad's retirement dinner! Pleasantly surprised with the experience. Four of us ordered: grilled octopus $24 beet salad $18 fork and knife caesar $16 ranch platter $275 butter cake $16 The Ranch platter included a 38 oz tomahawk, 4 Australian lamb chops, 2 lobster tails, truffle fries, grilled asparagus, and onion rings. Brianna was our server and she did a great job taking care of us...ultimately pushing this to a 5 star experience! Grilled octopus was definitely a big winner! I'm not sure if the ranch platter was necessarily worth it for the quantity of food, but definitely a great platter of food for a good photo op. Street parking only. Parking can definitely be difficult during peak hours. I ended up parking behind Florentine's.

The food was absolutely amazing, with every dish expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. The cocktails, on the other hand, were disappointing. While they looked visually stunning with elegant presentations that raised my expectations, the taste didn’t quite live up to their appearance. It felt like more attention was given to the kitchen than the bar. While I’d gladly return for the incredible dining experience, I’d likely skip the cocktails next time.

We’ve frequented Flowers before so had to stop by Hero Ranch. The restaurant has beautiful decor with chandeliers and tufted velvet booths like Flowers. We came here to celebrate a birthday and they did not disappoint. The octopus was grilled to perfection and tender. Loved the scallops especially, as well as the other seafood choices.The family enjoyed the rigatoni and lamb chops. And their butter cake is a must! Because we were celebrating a birthday, they gave us ice cream at the end.

We loved their sister restaurant, Flowers so we came to The Hero Ranch Kitchen and it did not disappoint at all. The food was excellent. Everything was good. I recommend the Apricot Glazed Pork Chops. The visual and the first bite was amazingly good. This is a must have on the table. We usually have a lot to say about value, but this was a restaurant where we walked out very happy. Great service by Isaias and great food. For my wife's birthday, they gave us ice cream which boosted her mood. Thank you so much!

Great service. The steak was nicely cooked topped with truffle butter. My go to drink "Old Fashioned" was perfectly done. Nice atmosphere, parking can be a premium, but can't hold that against them. Will come back for the high quality food they serve.

We started with some amazing appetizers that set the bar high for the rest of the night—everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The absolute star of the show, however, was the bone-in ribeye. It was cooked to absolute perfection, incredibly tender, and had that rich, smoky flavor you only get from high-quality cuts. If you are a steak lover, this is a must-order! The atmosphere was great and the service was top-notch. I’ll definitely be coming back soon.

My wife and I came for dinner on our 1 year wedding anniversary. The staff were attentive, kind, and great all around. The sushi starter was delicious, the steak was tender and melted in your mouth, and the ice cream sundae was a real treat. Highly recommend for special occasions. Our server, Richard, was exceptional and took care of us.

We've been going to The Hero Ranch Kitchen for quite some time now, and we try to visit at least once a month, if not twice. The staff are incredibly kind, friendly, and professional, and they always go out of their way to take care of their customers. I can only think of wonderful things to say about the entire team. We've never felt rushed, and the food is impeccable. My favorite dishes — and my daughter's — are the pan‑seared salmon and the pan‑seared halibut. My partner loves the Black Angus burger and Mary's rosemary chicken. The stuffed mushrooms and the fried chicken with cornbread are our favorite shared plates, and the berry cobbler is our go‑to dessert. The ambiance is warm and inviting. We always dine outside, and the heat lamps, blankets, and cozy chairs make it perfect. This is truly our favorite restaurant, and we will continue to come often.

Amazing food, incredible service, and a great vibe! We went on a Saturday night and even though it was crowded, it never felt too noisy. The ambiance was perfect for both couples and larger groups like ours. Eric took care of us and he was fantastic, and the bussers were just as attentive. Seriously, the service here is top-notch. Now the food… wow. I had the scallops and they were unbelievably good. My friend had the vegetable pappardelle and loved it, my daughter had the pasta with pork and devoured it, and the pork ribs at our table were a huge hit. And yes, I stole a couple of fries from my friend, they were as good as McDonald’s (and that’s saying something!). We ordered several appetizers and every single one was amazing: the crispy sushi, the Mexican street corn, and the grilled octopus, which was the star of the night for me. Highly recommend this place. Excellent food, outstanding service, and a great atmosphere. We’re definitely coming back!

Great experience last night at Hero Ranch, delicious food, tasty cocktails & great service. One of their specials, the Corn Chowder, was honestly the favorite dish of the night, as simple as that sounds…. It was fantastic. Crab cakes and grilled octopus were of course yummy and the main courses (salmon and the filet) were just as good. Great experience! Will be back soon!!

Second time I’ve been here. First visit was ok; I didn’t think the food was worth the money. This time was much better; they got their portions down better. Made reservations via Open Table and although they were full when I tried to make changes, we were able to add an extra person to our existing reservation via an email request (open table would not allow me to make changes on their site). Our server Alexis was super friendly and very attentive to our needs. Food and cocktails both very good. My pork chop was a little on the salty side so I think they may brine the meat a little too long. All good bc overall, it was very well cooked. Friends said their halibut and salmon were equally good. I have to say portions have gotten better over time. I was not a fan during my first visit bc I just left feeling hungry after spending $150 for two. Not this time. FYI – NO CORKAGE fee. You heard right. NO CORKAGE fee. We brought our own bottle of wine for dinner but had some cocktails with apps. Some notes: Parking can be hard but just drive around. We went on a Friday night so expected it to be busy. Portions are a lot bigger than I remembered it being which is always a plus.

After a good start to our birthday dinner things took a wrong direction with the bone in ribeye being undercooked. But Alan the GM saved the day. Comp’d our meal and gave us delicious desserts and a twist on a two shot espresso with a lemon twist and it was so good on the palette..and our server Erick came through with bomb whipped cream! We’ll be back guys!

Absolutely love this place! Drinks were delicious, and I wish I could give half stars bc the food and service were equally good save for a couple issues. For food, I found a couple of the appetizers to be on the bland side, but they were still good! As for service, we had a very good time...our server was amazing and extremely accommodating... but I had to knock off a star because we essentially got kicked out. We were there for 3 hours on a Friday night, so maybe they have a time limit we were unaware of. We were getting ready to leave anyway, so it wasn't too big of a deal. I just found it odd, esp after spending the amount that we spent. This incident will influence any future visits to this place as it put a weird mark on an otherwise great night

Add HRK to your list of fine dining establishments and you won’t be disappointed. My wife and I finally made it back after several years, and we’re glad we did. We booked an early (5:15pm) table for a light bite. They open at 5pm, and the restaurant was starting to get full even at that hour! I strongly suggest reserving a table well in advance regardless of the time of day or the size of your group. We specified outdoor seating. When we were taken to a table towards the back of the patio, we protested (gently) and were immediately redirected (graciously) to a table a bit closer to the door. It was a much better location but we still felt cramped. Plexiglass dividers between tables are a good idea these days but they add to the somewhat claustrophobic feeling. Our extremely friendly and upbeat server definitely got the owner’s message about the importance of “personal interaction”. She may have been trying a bit too hard, but we didn’t mind. Everyone on the HRK staff was equally cheerful. We wanted a light “tapas style” meal so we just ordered three starters. We started with the Ahi Tower which was was terrific, with super-fresh sashimi grade tuna on top of creamy avocado slices and tortilla chips. Our Fried Chicken Sliders were fried just right on the outside, nice and tender on the inside, delicious, and much more filling than we expected. The only disappointment was the coating on the Tempura Green Beans. We’ve had them in the past but this time they just didn’t seem as fresh and crisp. As far as we know, this is the only restaurant that offers wine by the bottle at retail prices. The $25 Sauvignon Blanc that we ordered would’ve been at least $50+ elsewhere! It’s $10 per glass so it makes sense to order a full bottle (and take the rest home) if you just plan to drink a couple of glasses. There’s no corkage fee either. In summary, you don’t need to wait for a special occasion to enjoy this destination restaurant, with delicious farm-to-table food and impressive service. We’ll definitely be back soon.

We went on a Saturday night for dinner. Reservations are highly recommended as this is a popular location. First off,if you don't know the area,it's full of restaurants and bars.So parking can be difficult. It's mostly street parking. The waitress was very professional and friendly. She asked if we wanted to start with drinks. When she came back she explained the specials,and asked if we had any questions. We started with fried cheese curds. Super crunchy crust,soft melted cheese inside. The waitress recommended that we try it with some honey butter. Great recommendations, sweet and savory. Everyones order arrived and it was great. My steak was cooked to a almost perfect rare. I would have liked it to have a little more char to it ,but I understand that it's hard to achieve due to it being rare. My daughters risotto tasted great, but seemed like a small portion considering that this was a main dish not a appetizer. We ended the evening with a bowl of Carmel corn ice cream.

Came here for my dad's birthday and enjoyed how nice and upscale the experience was! Good: - The service was so good! It's so pretty and nice inside, dimly lit - I enjoyed my pork chop a lot - the apricot sauce added a lot to the experience and there's so much food - The crab cake was a tasty dessert - They had a nice birthday dessert for my dad and the bread pudding was so tasty too! Bad: - Overall it's pretty expensive so come only for special occasions - Food arrived slowly Overall would have to find another special occasion to come again!

The halibut and scallops were both great. The appetizers were fantastic. Octopus with salad was our favorite. I would not recommend the steaks or any meat dishes. My husband and son got the steaks. The medium turned out to be way over done. It didn't have any flavor. Could have used salt. The restaurant felt bad and was very accommodating. The desserts were all very tasty - my favorite had to be the caramel popcorn Sunday. Next time we would try the other non meat dishes and appetizers.

After a good start to our birthday dinner things took a wrong direction with the bone in ribeye being undercooked. But Alan the GM saved the day. Comp’d our meal and gave us delicious desserts and a twist on a two shot espresso with a lemon twist and it was so good on the palette..and our server Erick came through with bomb whipped cream! We’ll be back guys!

The review is the story of two tales: 1-) Ambiance and service (not so great) We were sit in the second room (called wine tasting room) for the dinner we had. That room has extremely low ceilings and does not have a good ambiance for our liking. One major issue we had though was the speed of the dishes. The gap between starters and main dishes were close to 45 mins where we waited for actual dishes for 20 mins or so. I cant tell if this is due to some comms issue between the server and the kitchen or load on the kitchen. Regardless it made the experience subpar. 2-) Meals and Drinks (Great) The food was decent and every meal was properly cooked and presented. We had the Fillet Mignon, Ribeye, Risotto and the chicken. Each dish perfectly prepared. The starters octopus and beet salad were also great. One major kudos to the establishment is the fact that their wines are literally market prices (with no additional restaurant markup)

Beautiful place but the menu was hot and miss. Pasta and desserts were on point but the meats (steak/ribs) were real tough and service was robotic.

The food was really good teetering on great. The venue was really cute teetering on romantic. But, the service was really bad teetering on incompetent. Perhaps we caught them on a busy bad cold January Friday ... but they didn’t have enough seats for everyone, most were waiting outside in the cold (41 degrees) for over 15 minutes, despite us having a reservation; and even with our indoor reservation they kept trying to force us to sit outside. The waitress was slow and moderately unresponsive and despite asking to speak with a manager, none ever came. The desert was fantastic though. Go for the food, roll your own dice on the service.

Overall, not recommended. The service was good and courteous. The ambience was fine, especially when sitting inside. The food and drinks looked good on the menu, but were very poor in execution. The cornbread/chicken was mediocre, the Hero salad most people should be able to prepare at home, the pork chop and halibut were drier than they should be at such a restaurant, the scallops tasted similar to the ones you could buy at Trader Joe’s, and the dessert was just bad. The same goes for the cocktails, one of which we had to return because none of us could drink it (we tried). I had high hopes for this restaurant, but for $75/person I expected way more - our experience was more like $30/person. Very disappointed and will not be coming back.
