The Hero Ranch Kitchen

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!

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!

We had the best dining experience celebrating our wedding anniversary. All of the staff was very friendly and our server Jasmine was the definition of star hospitality. We started off with the fried chicken and corn bread sliders, then for mains we got the scallops and baby back ribs, for dessert we had the butter cake and the caramel popcorn sundae. Everything was delicious! The bar got a little backed up but the bartender was working hard to turn out drinks and over the course of the night we got to try a few different delicious cocktails. We came here because of a recommendation by a friend and so glad we did — will absolutely return!

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.

A crowd favorite in downtown Saratoga. I can see why (their braised short rib rigatoni and truffle fries are super yummylicious) 10/10 👍🏽

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.

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.

Love this elevated comfort food restaurant and setting… wonderful staff!

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.

When I first greeted the two receptionists for my reservation due to a private event, the seating was a bit tighter than usual. So there is, in fact, a time limit on the table, and bar seating became the new street seating. So I opted for a four-people table where the sofa is located on the mirror wall. The first thing I notice is the drink menu's "The Executive" cocktail,l which is decadent in terms of how premium the ingredient is. The drink itself is masterfully created with a hint of peach and is the smoothest drink I had in a while. For an appetizer, I opted for the octopus with salad which is a great way to start the meal. The flavor is a bit heavier, but overall, they could reduce the oil a bit. The second course is their bone-in-prime ribeye which is frankly a pretty large portion. The cheese and potato combo for the side is delicious. The final dish is a flourless chocolate cake with a scope of ice cream on top. Not too sweet and well-balanced, plus the flavor is something else. I would say the service is a bit bogged down by his many people are there and how short-staffed they are. The ambiance is casual, formal, and I would return to try their other offering.

First time here was for a friend's 60th birthday we had a party of 5. Host was so welcoming. Our group arrived at different times and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. Really prompt service, my drink arrived quickly and the birthday lady got to open her gifted bottle of wine NO CORKAGE FEE!!!! Our server Richard was fantastic, attentive and informed. The dining room has a great relaxed atmosphere. The food was amazing, one of the best branzino dishes I've had. Jasmin and the team made such a fuss of us, we were made to feel so special. The whole evening was just perfect and then they brought us a dessert platter which had everyone's eyes lit up, it was spectacular and absolutely delicious!!! The entire dinning room sang happy birthday to my friend. I genuinely cannot wait to come back here. The staff should be really proud of their service. Bravo

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.

Loved the small plates - shaved corn, sushi bites, sliders, and lamb chops. Loved also the beats salad. And, of course, the butter cake.

Had a great overall meal here. One of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area. We shared the Hamachi Carpaccio and Wedge Salad for starter. I had the Halibut, and loved the poached egg on top and the lemon sauce. We also had the seafood gnocchi, the pork chops, and the back back ribs.

Great for casual dining. Overall fusion foods, had good steak/meat options, pasta/ravioli. Some food was just a bit sweet for me (fried chicken with bread) but overall great experience. We arrived early so chilled at the bar at Flowers, which is right next door and owned by the same owner, convenient.

Oh their wine price is very reasonable. We got a goldeneye wine at 50 at Flowers last time and Flowers wine at 45 (not associated with Flowers restaurant)

Exceptional food! Normally I don’t order steak from restaurants, but the Filet here was perfectly cooked and the truffle butter added a wonderful dimension!

All dishes were prepared with great presentation, and the taste matched!

Definitely a great place for a special occasion and or a memorable date night. Look forward to more experiences here!

Made a reservation in advance to come here on a Sunday and so glad I was able to try this place out! We came here for an anniversary and the staff were so friendly and accommodating.

I loved all of the food that we ate, particularly the truffle fries, butter cake, and wagyu filet. I thought the food was all reasonably priced and you could tell all the ingredients were very fresh. Will definitely be coming back to celebrate other events!

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.

What can I say...hands down an amazing dining experience! The dishes are beautifully presented with wafts of yummy goodness hitting your senses making you salivate anticipating that first bite. Everything honestly is packed full of the flavor you expect from each ingredient presented in front of you. The cocktails are hand crafted and oh so flavorful! The bar, outdoor dining area, or inside the gorgeous dining spaces are all well thought out. You won't be disappointed. We will be back often!

It had some super amazing food I had the burger and it was amazing and the service was good too. It's one of the best restaurants I have had in a while. ( I put a glowing effect on the Shirley temple, it doesn't come standard like that)
