What a find in the middle of Rancho Santa Fe! All the decorative lights on, quaint wood framed windows, protected patio out front- we chose a corner table inside, cozy crates of wine and poinsettias piled around, soft conversations from the tables, the gentle maîtred, the comforting waitress. What an ambiance. The Norwegian salmon and New York steak were special. Extensive wine menu. We loved the experience !

Review for Rancho Santa Fe Bistro Rancho Santa Fe Bistro never disappoints! The food is consistently amazing, and this visit was no exception. We usually sit on the patio, which we absolutely love, but this time we decided to sit inside for a change. It was just as charming and cozy, offering a wonderful ambiance. We brought friends along this time, and they were equally impressed. One of the highlights of this bistro is its specials—they’re not just good; they’re exceptional! In fact, we’ve found that the specials often outshine the regular menu, which is saying a lot. The lamb special was cooked to perfection, and the black cod was absolutely divine. To top it all off, the service was impeccable, as always. The staff is attentive, friendly, and genuinely invested in making your dining experience memorable. Rancho Santa Fe Bistro continues to be one of our go-to spots for a perfect meal. Highly recommend!
