Dessert drinks
Jason S.

Oh my gosh this place was great. If you follow my reviews you know I rarely ever give five stars. It has to be perfect and this place absolutely was perfect. From the moment you walk in you can tell this place is special. The hostess was amazing, our waiter, Javier, was amazing, everything was amazing. The staff is really great. You can tell they love what they do and are proud of the place they are working for. You rarely see that in the restaurant business anymore. The food was great. Everything we tried was delicious. And I'm serious when I say everything including the desserts is made right there with fresh ingredients. The menu changes regularly so be aware of that. I appreciate they keep their menu simple and tight. They don't try to make a lot of dishes, instead they keep the menu down and focus on quality and presentation. I would not be surprised if sometime in the future this place could have a Michelin star. They are just that good. This is absolutely a place I would come to again and bring friends with to experience it.

The posset, the milk and honey, and the chocolate cherry sorbet
Kathryn K.

Fabulous dinner tonight at range life! Desserts are epic, we ordered the milk and honey, the posset, and the chocolate cherry sorbet and we were not disappointed! All desserts were delicious although the best by far was the milk and honey!

Apple cobbler
Christine L.

I came here by myself on a Wednesday night, set a reservation online, but there was still seating available either way. The decor inside is simple, but classy. Music/ambiance isn't super loud, and the vibe is pretty casual. The tables are kind of squeezed closely together which does make it a bit weird because you can hear conversations next to you. I ordered an orange vanilla soda, Caesar, pork loin Milanese and apple cobbler. Portions were actually pretty large, and I had a good time. My server Jasmin was attentive and kind - the restaurant ended up comping my dessert because the wait for it got a bit too long, which is unexpected but appreciated. All were pretty delicious, but I'm docking a star because I felt some dishes like the Caesar, and the pork loin in my Milanese were far too salty (and I have a big savory tooth!) I'll have to come back and try the other dishes though, and maybe I'll find myself updating this back to 5 stars! P.S. the apple cobbler was insane, it was so good.

Grass fed beef steak cooked amazing!
Kim T.

Always love coming here, food is fresh and the menu changes! Milk and honey dessert is a must, yes I started with that. Food: steak always cooked perfectly Moutabal delish i think would have been better served as a dip and not a bowl with everything in it, made it hard to eat as a shared appetizer (eggplant pumpkin and tahini) Broccolini: black trumpets, pumpkin seed, rye and lemon Chicken: moist and good serving size Other desserts: chocolate mousse was perfect not too sweet. Apple crumble: warm and comforting again not too sweet. They are on point with dessert Kudos to the chef!

Squash tempura, but called something very fancy
Tareq B.

This a very mediocre restaurant but tries to be avant- guard of culinary traditions. The food is super simple yet uses fancy words to make it sound exotic. The best dishes were the Brussel sprouts , the squash tempura and the seashell pasta with Lam Raghu. I honestly have to use ChatGPT to get an English translation. I want to find out that they're all very ordinary dishes, but highly overpriced. The menu is confusing because you have snacks and then you have appetizers and then the main dish. I'm not sure why call appetizers snack snacks. The drinks were good, but it was really annoying that the water they were serving was lukewarm, and I believe it was intentionally served that way to force you to order drinks and every time I ask for ice, the waitress would lose her smile as if we were asking for the world.

Fried chicken special with beer on Mondays
Hannah K.

Finally had a chance to check out Range Life after receiving a gift card here. We decided to go on a Monday to try their fried chicken special. We also ordered the steak and honeycomb dessert. Everything was good and I really enjoyed the fried chicken. However, nothing stood out where we felt that the experience or food was amazing and worth the higher cost. Nothing very unique. I wouldn't hesitate to bring a friend here though since I think all of the dishes are crowd-friendly! I would come back for just the chicken :)

Finally made my way over and finally made time to post this review after so long (sorryyyy life be lifing)! Honestly did not dissapoint. I can be a little allergic to making reservations, so I siddled in six minutes after opening. And dang! A gang of people were already seated and chowing down! I guess they don't play around these parts! I was promptly greeted and given a wide variety of seating options. I picked the bar and was promptly greeted and presented with menus. The bartender and the couples to my left and right were beyond helpful with their recommendations! I ended up getting a fantastic Ceasar salad...and I dont really like ordering salads. The oysters were fine! Not bad at all, but not super thrilling. Crudo was lovely! Really similar to black cat's in my opinion, which is an excellent comparison! I also really enjoy the cocktails! Definitely a good special occasion treat yo self spot!

My husband and I went on a double date with our best friends at Range Life, which was their go-to date night spot. We had reservations for 5pm, but the place was notably busy for such an early dinner time slot. We were seated in an intimate corner booth towards the front of the restaurant. Loved the ambiance of the place and its casual beauty. I appreciated the concept of the restaurant. I learned that everything was farm-to-table i.e. the chef goes to farmers' markets to meticulously gather ingredients for the frequently rotating menu, and the meats come from local farms. I loved everything I ate. We had 4 appetizers to share, and each person had their own entrees. - Yellowtail Crudo: This was much more savory and umami flavored than I expected, which was refreshing since this dish is often served with citrusy, sweet flavors. The yellowtail melted in your mouth like butter, but I did find a little bone stuck to the flesh of my piece. A rookie move, in my opinion, and for this reason was admittedly my least favorite dish. I'm not the biggest fan of persimmon either, but it worked with this and attributed a nice crunch to switch up textures. - Focaccia: Pillowy, fluffy focaccia. The date butter had a "Je ne sais quoi?" ingredient to it that made it incredibly unique but addictive. Maybe cumin? - Caesar Salad: I love a traditional Caesar salad where you can actually taste the anchovy paste. I liked how they used little gem lettuce and crushed the croutons, so every big leafy bite was crunchy and salty. - Bucatini Alla Nero: Excellent! Favorite appetizer of the night. Don't be deterred by the cuttlefish ink, because it didn't taste fishy at all. In fact it tasted more like an Asian dish and their chili oil packed the heat. - Duck Breast: This was my entree. The duck breast was tender. Loved the dirty rice. - Grass-fed Flat Iron Steak: This was my husband's entree, and I personally found this better than my dish.

Really fantastic relaxed yet setting for refined new American food. Came here for my anniversary dinner and had the most fun. The menu is constantly being updated so the ingredients highlighted during our visit reflected the best and freshest ingredients of the season. Some dishes like the cold watermelon rind salad and carparccio were a little too inventive and tasted a little weird but I appreciated the attempt. The duck rice was BOMB. Their drinks are really good too. Will definitely be back soon.

STAR ROUTE PUNTARELLE
Evangeline E.

I am a complete food snob and came here because I saw it on the Michelin Guide. 3/5 stars I don't think I'd come back. Service was great, ambiance was super cute and moody. But the price for mediocre food is not something I can abide by. We were full from a late lunch so we got a light dinner. We ordered the STAR ROUTE PUNTARELLE, CALAMARI, RADIATORE, and the burnt honey ice cream. 1. Star Route Puntarelle: this salad wasn't quite balanced. They put pears on there maybe to be in season with fall but it needed sweetness and acidity; an orange would have been better. They added some type of fishy component in the vinaigrette that was waaay too overpowering for the peppery leafy green. Way too much happening here. 2. Monterey crispy squid: batter was so light and squids were tender! But why did they put mustard in the sauce? Again, way too overpowering for how delicately light and crispy the squid is. 3. Radiatore: this pasta was 5/5 best thing. So umami flavored and delish ugh. Craving as I type. 4. Burnt honey ice cream: delish! But then as we ate more... every. freaking. bite. was. salty. Look, Im a big salt girl so salt and olive oil on the ice cream? Sounds phenomenal. But when every bite tastes almost savory with how salty it is is off putting. All and all, they are still getting it together to be considered fine dining. It's okay, and I would not come back nor do I recommend. Maybe just for drinks?

Caesar Salad
Jane K.

Found this spot on Resy from my American Express benefits, and had been wanting to try it for a while. Our original dinner plans fell through from another restaurant near by, so we came here instead, and I'm so glad we did! The menu looked so good we couldn't decide, so we asked our server for her favorites, and everything she recommended was amazing. The Caesar salad was hands down the best I've ever had, super flavorful, perfectly dressed, and those tiny crunchy breadcrumbs instead of big croutons were genius. The flatbread totally surprised us! we thought it'd be like naan, but it was more like a light, crispy potato funnel cake (in the best way). Both the halibut and steak were cooked perfectly, and we finished with their milk & honey ice cream, which was unreal. It had this nice salty and sweet, crunchy from the honeycomb, it was the perfect combo. It's definitely my top 5 ice cream dessert I've ever had and I don't normally like sweets. Cozy vibe, dim lighting, great service, great selection on alcohol, but I just stayed with water. It was overall solid spot. I'd 100% come back!

Came for a dinner reservation on Wednesday. It rained on/off this day but we decided to brave the rain and got a private outdoor dining experience with a nice view of a rainbow!! Food was delicious, we really loved the fig toast and the entrees we got. We got the lingcod and the flat iron steak. I love that the menu slightly changes every day depending on what produce they get and everything changes every month! For drinks we got the sun sleeper and an old fashioned cognac cocktail. The sun sleeper is a gin cocktail that was very refreshing with hints of cucumber and lemon. The old fashioned was very smooth. Overall we enjoyed our drinks. Server was super attentive and gave us the option to dine inside if we wanted to because of the weather. Fortunately we finished our meal when it started pouring so it worked out in the end! Next time we'll come back to try the desserts!

halibut

We came to celebrate birthday. The food was so fresh. The chicken is very tender and halibut is very flavorful. The setting is calm and natural. The service is great. People are very kind and pay to details.

Honeycomb Cocktail Lounge - Chicharrones with the guac

Honeycomb Cocktail Lounge

I enjoyed my first visit to Honeycomb Cocktail Lounge! We arrived a little after 8pm on Friday…read morenight and were able to be seated right away. When we left around 9:30pm there was a small line. The cocktails here are pricier but I would come back for special occasions or when we have visitors. They had signature drinks but also a limited specials menu. The specials included a drink with Thai flavors (galangal, coconut, kefir lime leaf, Thai chili, butterfly leaf tea, etc) and it was so good! I hope they keep this drink on the menu and I'm excited to see what new craft cocktails they come up with. Overall a fun experience to add to your night out in Downtown Livermore!

I would say this place has some vibe and makes a strong first impression the moment you walk in…read more The mirrored entrance room is really unique, and once inside, the place feels stylish and cozy, though the lounge area does get a bit tight, especially on a busy Friday night. The bar itself is beautiful with the lit-up marble top that really stands out, and the spacious unisex bathroom was a nice surprise. The holiday atmosphere was a big plus. The giant, glowing Christmas tree in the middle of the lounge and Christmas carols playing in the background made the whole place feel warm and festive. Food-wise, the chicharrones were very well! seasoned and are a must-try, especially paired with the guac. The smoked old fashioned lived up to its name and was extremely smoky, which will appeal to anyone who enjoys bold, heavy smoke flavors. The only downside was the service. Even though it was busy, the attention lagged, and we ended up waiting over 20 minutes for our drinks, which took away from the experience. Oh, and make sure to validate the open hours and get that password on the Instagram before you get in. Overall, it's a stylish and festive spot for cocktails with a great atmosphere, but quicker service would make it an easy five stars.

Party of 5 on a Sunday Evening before the dinner rush…read more We were greeted and sat promptly by a very nice hostess. Our server came over and introduced herself and asked if we would like any cocktails and offered us water and gave us some time to pick out what we would like to eat. He was fast, friendly and attentive. The food here is exceptionally good, especially for the prices. I feel like the prices are very good and reasonable, especially in today's time. On top of the fact that everything that we ordered here on both of our visits have been phenomenal and taste and presentation. The atmosphere is nice. The aesthetics are pretty. It does get a little bit loud, but that's understandable as everyone is there to have a good time and a good meal. We had the Salisbury steak, Reyes, beef, short rib, the flank steak, and I personally had the grilled cheese inside of smoked tomato soup. The tomato soup is literally the best tomato soup I've ever had in my life. The grilled cheese is cooked to perfection and together they are just a wow meal. Can't wait to go back to try more dishes.

A place after my heart. Monday and Tuesday best days to come in, specials both days, all day long…read more Great happy hour from 2:30-5:30 M-F as well. Staff is lovely; talented, friendly and always ensure their guests have the best experience possible. Food is top-notch. Order the Cajun Fettuccine and add mushrooms, it's one of the best dishes in town. So flavorful, expertly seasoned, chicken remains moist and the pasta soaks up the sauce. Bourbon Pear is in the running for the best restaurant in Livermore and if you wanted to put it in the number one spot you'd be more than justified.

Also server for the table next to me almost elbowed me in the head several times while attending to his table. Most certainly accidental but still an undue hazard. One that I will definitely risk again for those deviled eggs.

Came to The Hangar for an early Mother's Day dinner with the family (we celebrate Saturday instead…read moreof Sunday) and this was hands down one of the WORST restaurant experiences we've ever had. First off, this is NOT on the staff working. We genuinely felt bad for them. Management thought it was a good idea to schedule ONE bartender and ONE server on a packed Saturday night. The entire place was chaotic, customers were visibly irritated, TVs throughout the restaurant stopped working, and the poor employees were drowning trying to keep up. The stress was palpable that made the experience stressful and not enjoyable. Absolute management failure. At one point I used their self-pour beer wall and poured myself half a Modelo only for it to come out warm I was able to find another beer that was actually cold... but still charged for the warm one. The food was somehow even worse. We ordered the barbacoa nachos, wedge salad, and a kids burger with fries. The kids burger was the only edible thing. The wedge salad was drowning in ranch like someone emptied the whole bottle on it. Tomatoes tasted old and gross. Then came the nachos... tiny portion, bland chips, barely any cheese, no mango salsa like the menu claimed, and the "barbacoa" -- if you could even call it that -- was tough, fatty, and completely inedible. $74 later for one appetizer, one salad, one kids meal, and 1 1/2 beers. We only tipped because we felt bad for the server. We will NEVER be back. Thanks for ruining our Mother's Day dinner.
