Ambiance, food & drinks 10/10. Just be prepared to wait, service is slow to get your first drink.

We went for our wedding anniversary celebration and it was perfect! Great food, fun drinks, live music (on a Monday!) and great service. Romantic setting- it exceeded our expectations!

The speakeasy had an incredible vibe! Low-key, stylish yet sophisticated casual. Live music, but just the right collection and vibe. Server Sophia was the best! Could not have been nicer more comedy and full of energy. So impressed with the bartender, he personally wrote out a recipe For one of the drinks that we enjoyed. Highly recommend I'll definitely be back as soon as we can get there. !

Wow, this place needs to be on your list for a special occasion. The garden before sitting down in the speakeasy was so beautiful and provided great photo opportunities. My husband and I had the best seats in the speakeasy for our anniversary, right in front of the jazz band. That atmosphere was sexy but sophisticated. The drinks were presented beautifully, and the small bites were so well crafted that you could taste every single layer of flavoring. 10 out of 10!

Dark & Moody with a limited but excellent food menu. Cocktails around $28. Hoped to order dessert from restaurant upstairs, but that's not allowed. The service is warm and professional.

What a joy this place is. Great speakeasy with fabulous food. Had a great experience here! 🥰 can't wait to go back or tell family and friends about it.

Always a great experience and terrific music by pianist Kevin Fox... I go about once a week, and the food and service are always excellent. Last night, more people came in than they had anticipated, and they only had one server and one bartender. Michelle, our server, did her best to keep up and was always pleasant in spite of her stress. They ultimately were able to get her some help after about an hour. (I think the adjacent Stonehouse Restaurant may have 'borrowed' some of the staff from the Speakeasy as they may also have been short-staffed.) I can highly recommend both the Stonehouse Restaurant and the Plow and Angel Speakeasy. :)

A cozy, chic little tavern that's perfect for enjoying a bite and/or drink before or after dining at The Stonehouse. We were there on a Sunday night and had a table by the crackling fire, accompanied by a live music performance. Perfect.

Extremely flavoursome food, really excellent vibe in the restaurant with lighting and booths at inside. We had a booth and a party of 7 people, they accommodated us well, the background music was also at a perfect level and good tunes. The food was delicious and very flavoursome, service was good and food came quite quickly. All up a good experience, would recommend. specially thanks for joban

We celebrated our good friends anniversary at the speakeasy! We had fantastic drinks and an amazing food. But most of all the service was so above and beyond thank you so much San Ysidro Ranch for your beautiful gardens and the great experience.

Fabulous setting. Tea and treats were delicious and beautifully presented. Impeccable service. A memorable experience.

This bar offers curated cocktails and a limited bar menu, but everything we tried was incredible, clearly prepared by a chef and a bartender who care about their product. Ambience was very cool, service was impeccable. Staff encouraged us to take our drinks and stroll around the gardens, which are beautiful. Just a really enjoyable experience.

Excellent food with a wonderful waitress! Wine was pricey but very good. Ambience beautiful!

Disregard the 3 on food - we did not have any food. They have a limited bar menu of 5 items. The place is super charming. It is a the Ranch which is just NEXT LEVEL. Everyone is super nice. If you have never been - it is one of the few places that you really do need to experience. Are the drinks expensive -- YES - but it is The Ranch - just how it is. They had live music in the speakeasy and outside. I do love this place even though it has some flaws.
