Range Life

What a great spot in Livermore. Fantastic cocktail options and a great wine list. The food was all truly delightful and seasonal. Will definitely make this a regular stop when we’re in town.

I can't believe we slept on this place for so long! One trip made it our new date night favorite. The food is exquisite, the service is exceptional, the atmosphere is great. We especially love their back patio. We usually order at least two snacks, two apps and two entrees and then just take home the leftovers. 😂 It's a rotating menu and we're always excited to try what new things they've created. Reservations are recommended but they do accept walk-ins when they can accommodate so try them first!

Finally got to try this place for the first time, definitely lived up to all the great reviews and recommendations. It's been hard to get a reservation, but definitely worth the trip.

Everything about this restaurant is amazing. The food was phenomenal (highly recommend the bone-in pork chop if it's on the menu). Halibut was also very tasty! Wife and I went for our wedding anniversary (left a comment on the reservation) and they surprised us with a congrats glass of tasty champagne and "Happy Anniversary " on the paper menus. The beer and cocktails are good, pretty much what you get at any nice place. Our server Laura was amazing. I have a real goofy personality and constantly embarrass my wife but Laura ran with it and had fun with us. She was very nice, on top of things, and accommodating. Oh, get the deep fried cabbage and pepper appetizer. So damn tasty with their homemade dipping sauce. The ambiance of the restaurant is great too. Nice chill vibes where you can still be yourself. I highly recommend this place! It is pricey but know you are getting top quality food sourced locally by the chef, great service, and a great overall experience.

Very nice farm to table restaurant. I liked the atmosphere and ambiance. Cocktails were very very good. Tried the stuffed summer peppers with coppa, and the eggplant with flatbread. I’d go back only for the flatbread… it was amazing. We tried chicken and lamb. The lamb leg was mildly undercooked, but the chicken was spectacular. Overall good experience and would recommend.

Chic modern restaurant. Good bites and drinks. We dined indoors for early dinner. Reservations were done online before visiting. Everything we ordered was tasty. Drinks had great flavor and were strong, definitely not watered down. Simple yet stunning decor both in the dining area and bathroom.staff were all very attentive and friendly only wish they offered earlier brunch.

Great personable service adds immeasurably to the very very good food. Food was perfectly paced and was a nice change away from highly seasoned food most restaurants are featuring today. Here the food's tastes are so very complimentary to each other in a dish. Portions are just right. While parking can be a problem if you are disabled there is a temporary city lot open to all opposite the restaurant and down a bit.

Fantastic experience and excellent food. As a Livermore local I am upset with myself that I haven’t come here sooner! Have heard it’s a bit difficult to get reservations, but we had no trouble getting one during the week.

My wife and I visited Range Life for the first time last week, knowing that it had received rave reviews. It didn't disappoint. I had the Ham Chop, which came with cherries as a great accompaniment. My wife had the halibut, which was both delicately flavored and nicely seared.
The building looks historic i.e. a detached brick structure. I write this since the building's size and age adds to the ambience of the place. They have a pretty extensive wine list and several interesting local beers, both of which we sampled to accompany our food.
Shout-out to our wait person (Kendall), who was very attentive but not overbearing.
We'll definitely be back!

Delicious and imaginative food.
Friendly and cheerful staff.
This is the best restaurant that
I would like to come back to.

Livermore is lucky to have such an amazing restaurant in our own backyard. We absolutely love this place. The food is always delicious and the staff are friendly and very attentive. A wonderful date night or place with a few close friends. I can't wait to go back.

A true gem with hyper-seasonal local ingredients and happy vibes in Livermore, by the former executive chef of Tartine Manufactory. Highly recommend the ham chop and black cod entrees.

EDIT #2: Still executing on every cylinder. Came for our anniversary, to find old favorites and new creative takes. I could never tire of the house bread, which underlays (figuratively and sometimes literally) the cuisine. Just wow. I tell people that it's San Francisco food at San Francisco prices, and it is head and shoulders the best in Livermore.

EDIT Now serving brunch, Range Life continues to be the best, and the most exciting restaurant in Livermore. The luminous interior, tack-sharp staff, distinctive bread, greens so fresh they still have dew on them, cocktails that speak of Livermore, what more can I praise? Oh, yes, the wine list, which has excellent local and international selections, such as Ryme vermentino, for reasonable prices.

I can’t ask for more than food that tastes even better than it Instagrams, and service to match. It feels like a tiny part of San Francisco has been transplanted into Livermore, and I can’t wait to go back. The only downsides are that it’s small, only a few tables, and the prices have also been transplanted. But who can say no to steak tartare served on superb bread, with a shaved pickled egg adding a pop of flavor and color? The cocktail program is outstanding, particularly the coyote smash, which is made with coyote mint, like you’ll find growing wild south of town.

If Range Life doesn’t get a star, it will say more about Michelin than the restaurant. I just hope that Livermore is capable of supporting a true fine dining destination.

Great find in Livermore. Oozes hipster/boho vibes. Sat at the counter for a hangover brunch. Craft cocktails, short but nicely curated wine list, seasonal ingredients, house made bread (amazing, we ate almost 2 portions). Everything was delicious and hit the spot. Service at a level that you’d expect in San Francisco or other major city.

Super good! We loved our food and drinks and the staff was incredibly kind and pleasant to talk with. Will definitely be back.

The service and food were amazing. Came on Sunday evening with out a reservation and was able to be seated promptly. Our server gave us great recommendations as well was gave us history about the town and the sustainability of the food. I enjoyed the fact the restaurant sources locally especially as a visitor from out of town. I’m definitely be back when I come visit.

What a great evening at Range Life. We were so well cared for. We sat on the patio on a cold night, heaters and blankets were generously provided. The food was amazing.

Simply the best. From the genius cocktail flavors to the top quality ingredients for daily locally sourced meals.

And now, an original song inspired by:

RANGE LIFE

From the first bite into your food
I thought it couldn't be true
That my life would change forevvvver

Right when I strolled into your doors
Nearly fell onto the floor
What's the name of your interior designer?

I never knew I never knew
That food could taste so good

It's like my taste buds levelled up
And now they've understood

So glad I have you in my life
And you're just over the hillllll
Wish I could capture your magic inside
A happy pill

But now I'm dying inside cause you're 45 minutes away
Send green curry and I'll make it through another day

I never knew I never knew
That food could taste so good

Great service and delicious food. Simple dishes but well executed, with just enough of an unusual twist to really elevate the meal. Great cocktails and dessert, too! I got the pork (prepared like schnitzel) which came with a watermelon radish and some kind of purple salad green. My companion got the steak, perfectly cooked.
