This Place Is Awesome!!…read more I am not sure where to start on what I liked about this place.. This place was recommended by friends from Chicago.. From the moment we walked in the door we were greated by a friendly employee and he made us feel like we were gonna be taken care of.. The place looks like a pizza shop and has a total pizza vibe inside.. The place was clean and the seating was comfortable.. Ok... On to the food... We started with the bacon artichoke dip.. That was sooooooo good and just the right amount of cheese... Yum Yum... We also ordered a medium thin crust pepperoni pizza (to eat there) and we ordered a medium stuffed deep dish with mushrooms, pepperoni, and sausage to bring home for a dinner in a few days.. The thin crust pepperoni was so good.. I am a pizza snob and this was pretty damn good that I struggled to remember when the last time I had pizza this good..I am being honest too.. The deep dish we did a half bake so it cooks easier in our oven at home.. Smelled good in the car for the 90 minute drive home.. Shout out to Chris.. You could tell he cared about the products.. He asks if you have been there before and then helps you decide the right pizza to make your visit the best.. I liked that.. We had a couple of beers to wait for the pizza.. Thank You Chris M.. for a great visit!! Just remember good food is always worth the wait.. Everything is scratch made and it shows in the product when you are eating.. This place also doesn't break the bank either.. Last thing... The Restrooms are clean.. That matters as it reflects on the rest of the restaurant.. THANK YOU RANCE'S !! You Truly Earned My Future Visits..

Rance's Chicago Pizza is approved by two individuals that moved from Chicago a few years ago and…read morethat really does say something! Delicious pizza, great ambiance, and even better service. My team and I came on a Thursday for lunch and before we came we called to preorder the pizzas so they would be ready when we arrived instead of having to wait 45 minutes. This definitely was the best way to go for a work lunch outing. This Rance's is tucked away in a big plaza and doesn't seem to get too much foot traffic during the week. Plenty of parking. We got: Caesar salad (great), the carnivore (great) and the best seller/veggie pizza (also great). We definitely each brought a slice or two home and needed a nap post lunch! Our server/manager was amazing, we really felt welcomed and right at home - especially my two team mates who are from Chicago. They definitely are new repeat patrons of Rance's! Highly recommend for some deep dish pizza.

We had scallops and the ceviche trilogy to start, and by then we were already pretty full. For the main, we shared the 58 oz Prime Angus Cowboy Ribeye; it was a lot of food, so we definitely took some home. We also had two glasses of sparkling rosé. Overall, great food, great service, and a perfect anniversary spot.

Stopped by Irvine for some errands and swung by 99 Ranch Market on the way back…read more Tried the BBQ pork (char siu) from the deli and it was actually pretty decent. The chicken though... very bland. Back in March, I noticed when you walk in, the whole right side had a big section of popular Taiwanese souvenirs like Taiyang Tang sun cakes and Chia Te pineapple cakes. On the left side, they even had Taiwanese oil noodles, which I don't usually see at Vietnamese markets, so I grabbed a pack. I'm so used to shopping at Vietnamese supermarkets now. Mostly because around where I live, if you're looking for Asian groceries, it's usually either Korean markets like H Mart or Vietnamese supermarkets, so that's kind of become my baseline. Vietnamese markets are usually cheaper, but if you're specifically looking for Taiwanese products, the selection is pretty limited. Same with H Mart, they have some but not a lot. If you want the widest selection of Taiwanese items, 99 Ranch is honestly still the most reliable option. Prices do feel a bit higher overall compared to what I'm used to, but the variety and convenience are hard to beat.

Loved everything about this place!…read more Ambiance is casual and intimate, you're seated closely to fellow guests along a kitchen bar top where food is served family style and immediately after cooking.

I love their passion and enthusiasm, starting with their "freshest bread". The oven-to-plate brioche is a signature starter that reflects their values, their commitment to getting you the freshest food they can. The Greenest Salad goes so well with this, and all the veggies taste like they were just picked from the field. They procure many top-notch ingredients, and most of the preparation is simple so the food can speak for itself. My favorites from that night include the Mussels Croquetas which had beautiful bits of shellfish and a cream sauce that was to die for. They also made the first Paella I've ever liked, and their Lamb is the most delicious I've ever tasted. There is a dessert that I hope they never stop serving. The Kougin Amman ice cream sandwich is a genius pairing, especially because they just might make the best pastry in the world. I love the up close and personal approach, and the ingredients are incredible. A fun little splurge if you're in the area.

We live right around the corner from them, and there really isn't another grocery store within an 8 min drive, so I find this place to be super convenient. However, it does come with a price. Everything is about double the price of what you'd find at a Ralph's. For example, a box of plain Cheerios was nearly $10 here whereas it's about $5 at any other chain. I so badly want to support the local business here, but the prices I find aren't worth the trade off. TL;DR - perfect for that one ingredient you didn't have and need to make a pit stop.

This has been my neighborhood 99 Ranch go-to for as long as I can remember. Parking is never a…read morereally big issue here (just be careful cause the spots are small!), since people are always coming and going in this busy shopping center. I appreciate that there is hot food available for purchase, there are lots of grab and go items throughout the supermarket, and there is an array of Asian fruits that are sometimes hard to find in traditional grocery stores. The staff are helpful (if you need them), and the line moves pretty quickly. If you are a frequent shopper at 99 ranch, be sure to take advantage of their special member deals (and make sure they have your phone number on file!). The grocery store smells like a traditional 99 ranch market, it's clean, the shelves are always well stocked with plenty of items, and let's face it - if you don't find anything that you want to immediately eat at this grocery store, or in the hot food area, there are a bunch of other establishments closeby. You are bound to find something to satisfy your appetite!

This was my first time frequenting this location, and honestly it delivered in every facet. The happy hour was an excellent value including numerous $12 cocktails and an exceptionally priced Dry Aged, Kona-crusted New York Strip. For $18 you got a very generous portion of an excellent cut of steak. The filet mignon we ordered off the main menu was perfectly medium rare (not a given at other steakhouses in the area), and the au gratin potatoes were super creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor without being overly heavy. We ended the meal with a delicious creme brûlée, and left feeling happy and full. Beyond the food and drinks, I have to also call out the exceptional service we received from Eric. He truly took care of us from the moment we sat down and made my birthday feel really special. He was attentive, enthusiastic, and friendly throughout. Thanks again to The Capital Grille for making my birthday a great one!

La creme, de la creme as they say... Seriously though, Da-Le's products and customer service will…read moreblow your mind. They are mindful in their farming practices, ethical in their animal treatment, and you can taste the love. I was vegetarian for most of my life, mostly because felt guilty eating animals. When my health began to become effected by my lack of animal proteins, I slowly began to introduce meats. I bought from Whole Foods, it was "pasture raised," it was pretty tasty, but I had a hard time digesting it. A few years later I started buying my meats from a farm in Nor Cal and having it shipped. I didn't like that everything was frozen but I knew it was better than the grocery-bought stuff. Once I switched to Da-Le, was when I REALLY understood how important the methods of animal care are. The farm I purchased from prior, had no intel on feeding or culling methods, and when asked how they tended their animals, their response was, "we do what we want and they do what they want, we don't really tend them." I like the idea of free-range animals, but the vendor then went on to explain that they travel for great lengths of time and lots of people come and help out. It felt disconnected to me, like it was all for profit not out of love for the methodology of farming and providing the community with great food. Anyway, this is not about the "other guys," this is about Da-Le. I have built a beautiful relationship with Ashlie and her Laguna Beach Farmers Market crew, they always make great recommendations, and are truly engaging when you come to their booth. I don't feel rushed, I feel cared about! 3 years later, I am writing blogs for Da-Le, something that brings me the deepest joy, because I am so passionate about sustainability and wellness. My digestion of meats has greatly improved, and I personally feel it is because the animals live low-stress lives and eat quality food. I feel good about my consumption of meat when I support operations like Da-Le, and my body does too!
