    We adore the Pony Room. Chris, our server, and his team do a tremendous job making us feel welcome, helping us with menu selections, and anticipating our every need. The food last night was outstanding and we enjoyed the seasonal drinks as well. The live music is a special touch, though we sit outside where the music is a bit muted and easier for us to carry on conversation. Rancho Valencia is especially beautiful this time of year with the holiday declarations and lights. Worth the splurge!

    We love the refreshed dining area and decor! We enjoyed Christian’s attentive and respectful service. Our runner, Bryan, was caring, engaging, and energetic. Yulia and Sofia checked in with us after seating and on our way out and were a joy. Miguel dialed up some supreme cocktails to ensure we had another flawless brunch at Rancho!
