This place is on another level--it's an entire experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was exceptional. The atmosphere is gorgeous, the service was impeccable, and every bite of food was unforgettable. It was absolutely worth the drive, and we'll definitely be back. We started with the smoked duck charcuterie board and it was incredible and normally I don't even like duck. The steak was cooked to perfection and full of flavor. To top it all off, the limoncello dessert was hands down the best dessert I've ever had. This wasn't just one of the best meals I've had--it may honestly be the best restaurant I've ever eaten at! read more

Serenity Ranch is a full scale ranch and restaurant located about 40 minutes away from Longview. This place screams "unique experience" long before you set foot on the property. It only has 10 tables, so it is reservations only. Wanting to get on the experience, I made my reservations and set my expectations high. Driving there was a treat with the scenic views. Their signs on the main road outside of the restaurant make it very easy to navigate to the restaurant, even with limited visibility at night. We were immediately greeted by the valet driver and then the General Manager, who seated us promptly. (He visited with us after the meal and checked to make sure everything was up to our liking.) The inside was very intimate. The 10 tables were perfectly spaced to make the ambiance as good as it could get. It felt like you were alone, but not so quiet that it was uncomfortable either. Waters were poured and warm French bread was served. We were off to a great start. The waitress took good care of us overall. Her recommendations were helpful and her demeanor was very pleasant. We ordered the lobster mac and cheese along with the mushroom cap appetizers - both were flawless. For entrees - we ordered the ribeye and halibut. Both were well seasoned and excellently cooked. The fish was flavorful and flaky. The Brussel sprouts that we paired with the entrees were a poor choice. They felt soggy and not the flavor we were wanting. This was the ONLY complaint when it came to food as everything else was cooked to perfection. At a restaurant of this caliber, the small details are what make or break the experience for me. The drink service was very slow and the drinks themselves felt pretty watered down (not strong). It was close to 15-20 minutes between when I had finished my first drink and was asked if I wanted a second one. I asked for blue cheese crumbles with the steak and the waitress never brought or mentioned them. I asked for French fries in place of the scalloped potatoes, and the steak came with the scalloped potatoes instead. When I asked for fries to come out in addition to the steak (thinking the kitchen may have messed up), the waitress sounded like this was the first time I had asked for fries. I would definitely come back. But for the price tag that comes with this place ($375 was tab for 2), I hope the small details are capitalized on next time to secure that 5 star review. read more

My husband and I went to dinner here for his birthday and we had the best service and dinner. The food was absolutely amazing and the chef was so kind to make me a sauce for my steak that was safe. I have celiac and he took extra care of me. I would drive all the way here again to have dinner. read more

Another great experience at Serenity Ranch! We visit Jefferson twice a year and never miss a chance to dine at this very special place. At our last dinner last December, we had the most amazing mushroom soup, which we hoped to have on the menu again, but I guess it is a fall/winter staple. We did enjoy the Sea Bass special, and the Veal Chop with mushroom sauce was to die for. We finished it off with the blood orange sorbet and a promise to be back in December. read more

Pecan encrusted trout overcooked---did not enjoy at all! Service was terrific. Surroundings beautiful. Way too pricey for what you get.

Very nice setting. It's a bit of of drive but decor and food are worth it. Been there 3 times now. Really nice.

Best steak I've ever had. Excellent service. The ambiance is casual elegance. Highly recommend!
