Rancho Loma
THIS IS A MUST EXPERIENCE!
From the moment we arrived, it was crystal clear!
We were in for an extraordinary evening!
I'd tell you that Laurie and Robert have one the most unique places I've ever experienced!It is Texas hospitality within an almost Zen like atmosphere.
Yes, I know, it is rather enigmatic, but that's what I felt upon entering this home/dining
establishment known as Rancho Loma.
Laurie prepares your food in an absolutely spotless kitchen!Each week, the organic and even exotic parts of the menu are purchased for the
weekend guests.
You will set your reservation, and sit at a table prepared ONLY for you!
NO ONE WILL BE SEATED BEFORE OR AFTER YOU!!!
Our meal began with a duck and risotto course, followed by an imported cheese/tomatoe and pesto salad....
Exceptional Laurie!!!
The main course was a porterhouse for two that could melt in your mouth! LITERALLY!
Now that's the food.... but what we came for was not just the food.... we came for theRANCHO LOMA EXPERIENCE!
We were greeted by two lovely four legged friends who were as immaculate as the home at which they reside!
chickens, neatly rowed gardens, and a zero gravity swimming pool surrounded the home.
Robert showed us the outdoor shower HE HAD just finished.
YES>>>>> he tells me that Laurie designs, he builds.
Clearly, his touch was evident in the details everywhere!
LOVELY my friends.... truly the hearts of these people were evident even before we entered the doors!
Laurie was preparing the steaks with perfect seasonings
Robert was the perfect host!
My friend from Minnesota was duly struck by the evening in total!
I must say....I'd checked the Rancho Loma website over and over to find an evening when they would
serve a fish.....and I asked them...
"so when will that be?" to which they told me...
"Carla... this is Texas, and (for now)... beef is on the menu!"
I think I'm gonna see if I can persuade them to maybe consider...
how 'bout one night a month... not on a weekend... or maybe a Sunday evening...
do something extravagant.... like serving.....trout, tuna, salmon, shark.... FISH???
for Texans like me who love more than this wonderful beef???
just a thought!
Thank you friends for an amazing, sweet, decadent and memorable evening at your
