We reserved a table for lunch at 1 PM. The appetizers and drinks were good but could have been better.
The main course included a chicken sandwich and a steak salad, both of which were excellent, fresh, and delicious.
The outdoor space was very beautiful and pleasant. The service was good.
It was my daughter's birthday, and they brought a greeting card and a cupcake with a candle for her.
Overall, everything was great except for the drinks, and we will definitely go back there again.

We visited The Ranch on a busy Saturday evening without a reservation, and to our pleasant surprise, the staff welcomed us warmly and offered us seats at the bar. Their friendly and accommodating attitude set the tone for a great experience from the start.
The vibe at the bar was fantastic — lively yet comfortable. It felt like the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a good glass of wine. We decided to go for a wine and cheese platter, and it was absolutely delicious.
The rest of the food was tasty and well-prepared.

Beautiful views and ambience! Food and service were excellent. Brunch menu on weekends let you order breakfast or lunch and our party enjoyed everything. Service was prompt and went above and beyond. Bone marrow and squash blossoms for starters were delicious and we all split the cinnamon bun as a dessert— highly recommend!

We went to Harvest for a family lunch to celebrate my brother’s birthday, following a recommendation from a friend who spoke highly of the place. The atmosphere was pleasant, and I would give it a solid 4 out of 5 for ambiance. However, that’s where the positives end.

Let’s talk about the food, which was the real disappointment of the day. I ordered several dishes, hoping for a memorable culinary experience, but instead, I was met with subpar quality across the board.

• 8oz Dry Aged Burger: The biggest letdown of the meal. The beef was far from fresh; it had a bad taste that made it nearly inedible. The patty was dry, and the flavor was off, as if the meat had been sitting for far too long. This was supposed to be the highlight of the lunch, but I couldn’t even finish it.
• Shrimp: I also tried the shrimp, and it was absolutely awful. The shrimp tasted bad and had a horrible smell that made it impossible to eat. It’s rare for me to send food back, but in this case, I had no choice.
• Garlic Roasted Bone Marrow and Duck Wings: These starters, which we were looking forward to, were equally disappointing. The bone marrow lacked any depth of flavor, and the duck wings were underwhelming, with the sweet chili glaze doing little to save the dish.

Given the experience we had, I would rate the food quality as a 1 out of 5. The poor quality of the ingredients and the lack of freshness were shocking for a restaurant with such a promising menu.

In conclusion, I would not recommend Harvest to anyone until they significantly improve their food quality. It’s unfortunate that what was meant to be a special family occasion was marred by such a bad dining experience. This is not a place I’ll be returning to, and I urge others to reconsider their choice if they’re looking for a place with good food. There are many better options out there that won’t leave you with a bad taste in your mouth—literally and figuratively.

The restaurant is located in a gorgeous location. The food was just ok and our server wasn’t the greatest. We kept hearing other waiters go over specials and drinks - our waitress did none of that. Just a meh experience.

Visited Harvest for the first time with colleagues for brunch. Was confused when my navigation showed the Ranch as the destination and not Harvest right as I neared the restaurant; once I arrived I realized that Harvest is a part of the country club, Ranch. Onto my experience, overall, I would say it is worth the visit for the first timers like myself and/or once in a while - a few times a year - for special occasions, only. Food was mediocre for the price - had breakfast burrito (pictured) -, service was what I was disappointed the most. We had a server taking our orders and then switched with a different server who was supposedly on a “break” while the other server was only taking the order for the time being. Then the server was rarely at our table - we had 2 coffee refills and leftover wrapped up. Of those specific 3 times, our server was available only once. It wasn’t even that busy today between our visit - 9:45 and 11:00. May return only with my family and friends when they visit me the first time from abroad.

Had a holiday get together here and WOW. If you are looking for a coastal Cali lodge experience, this nails it. Beautiful views, great staff, and delicious food.

Enjoyed some appetizers in their back room with views of the golf course and cannot emphasize enough…..the wrapped dates are worth it alone. Cannot imagine the main courses, but would like to return and enjoy more of the grounds and food.

Fantastic place for any type of occasion.

Great restaurant just a few steps from the 1st hole tee box. Great bloody Mary's, salads are fresh and imaginative, and the atmosphere after 9 holes is perfect! Little pricey, but it's a resort, so not a surprise. Overall a nice experience.
