We started out by ordering the queso, guacamole and calamari for appetizers. All 3 were very good! I order a skinny margarita to start with and it was good but came in a small glass. I wish it came in a tall glass just like the regular margarita did. The regular margarita was very good as well. You have the option of salt or tajin on the rim. I special ordered the sprimp fajitas as they didn't just have shrimp as an option. Thankfully they were still able to accommodate my request because the fajitas were delicious!! You get rice and beans on the side & an option of guac or sour cream as a topping. You also get a choice of flour or corn tortillas. You definitely get your bang for your buck with this entree. The chef use to be the same chef as Manny's in Eau Claire so all the food was delicious. They have to many fresh seafood options which I loved. Overall I'd definitely come back!!

The ambiance is casual with lots of fun things to examine on the walls - some historic, some new. We started with the Brussels sprouts, loaded with bacon and Gouda cheese. These were a huge hit and we cleared the entire plate. I ordered the Sheely burger with truffle fries and definitely ate beyond capacity. The Mr. ordered the ribeye special and it came out medium rare just as he likes. He ate every bite and when he saw that you could buy a round for the staff for $10, proceeded to do so. He appreciates a perfect steak. Can't wait to come back and try some other items! *NOTE: CASH ONLY*

When we first walked in we were greeted by two women who seemed frazzled and then annoyed that we had a large group. A few in our group ordered the special, prime rib, which was lacking flavor. The truffle fries also lack flavor. Overall, the food is not great and expensive. But the ambience is very cool. Would love to see improvements in the food quality as this place is very neat.

They got our order wrong, and the pork was sort of disgusting. Our waitress was nice. But again, the service was slow. The restaurant itself is pretty, sort of.

Service was pleasant. Food was bad. I did not get hibachi,…read moreI was in the sit down section. Miso soup has no flavor (and they think that's how it should be). Sushi rice was bad(bland). Sushi itself was bad. Also, the portions are small compared to the price. I love sushi, but I had to douse it in soy sauce and wasabi to make it palatable. Oh, and the benches are Old. I felt the springs the entire time. Atmosphere is good, chill vibes. Feels like there was a management change because it wasn't always bad. It is like they are cutting costs with quality. Maybe they should focus on just hibachi.

For entrees we had the bacon burrito jalapeño and classic steak fajitas. The burrito had a nice kick to it and the Mexican sausage added a real depth of flavor. The steak for the fajitas was cooked perfectly (too many places lately overcook theirs and it's like gnawing on shoe leather) and the dish was flavorful, from the tantalizing meat & veg on the sizzling platter to the rice and beans. The staff checked in regularly to offer refills and see how we were liking our meals. We can't wait to stop in the next time we're in town!!

Complimentary chips and salsa almost beat us to the table. The salsa was great! A lot of cilantro which I love. (Fair warning to those that don't!) I was super excited to see they had great breakfast options available until 3pm. If I see huevos con chorizo on a menu, that's what I'm getting. It was fantastic here! Served with rice and beans which is certainly typical for most Mexican restaurants. The beans and rice at most places usually just seems to be plate filler. At Rancho Grande, I thought the beans and rice actually added to the dish. The rice was actually still fluffy and had good flavor instead of being dried out like some places. My husband had a chicken chimichanga that he really liked. We had to have margaritas too, of course. Lime on the rocks with salt and the perfect lime slice. We both thought the margs were great. What could be better than a margarita and huevos con chorizo for a quick lunch stop? How about the service and attention from the staff?! They did excellent. We had 4 different people tag teaming the service and all were super friendly and attentive. There was always at least one server either making the rounds or at least overseeing the dining area to observe and identify anyone that may have needed something. I wish we lived closer! This would be a regular spot for us, for sure! If we're back in the area, we'll stop in again. If you are in the area, do yourself a favor and check it out! Bonus info if any of this interests you: gambling machines with ATM payout, yard of margarita on tap, early open for breakfast.

The food selection was impressive with fresh shrimp, oysters, baked salmon and sautéed shrimp in different seasoning and sauces. They even had a chocolate fondue going on Labor Day, which justifies the higher price of $17.99. Still this is such a great deal! Our young kids loved their dumplings, green beans and noodles. This is not your authentic Chinese food but more Americanized version which definitely beats our chain restaurants by far. Service was very friendly and prompt. They came to collect dishes right away so we came back to a clean table with our plates. Overall, this will be our must stop when we're driving through the area.

We are partial to sitting at restaurant bars when we go out to eat. The Shanghai Bistro bar is always in need of a wipe-down when we sit down at an otherwise barely occupied bar. We love the food, but when we have to ask the completely uninterested bartender to clean his bar, this gets the experience off to an unpleasant beginning. We've had the same bartender each of the three times we've been there and each time it seems as if he'd rather be anywhere but there. Even after leaving a note on my credit card slip last time suggesting he take more pride in his department, the bar area is still in pretty sorry shape. Shanghai Bistro used to be PACKED on weeknights as well as weekends. Even on a Wednesday night -- which is their sushi special night -- the fact that the place had perhaps 20 diners demonstrates that something has gone wrong. We will undoubtedly return despite these last three unpleasant experiences. We simply hope that reviews such as this one will reach the eyes of those who need to read them.
