Ranzan is a restaurant that offers a Japanese kaiseki dining experience with four different course options. The service is consistently praised for being great, with friendly staff and a quiet, light, and airy environment that makes it a suitable place for a date night. The food served is generally considered delicious, using simple ingredients prepared to perfection. The mini Kaiseki lunch menu has been described as truly spectacular, with all dishes prepared with maximum care and flavorful ingredients. The restaurant’s atmosphere allows guests to focus on the food, enhancing the overall experience. The chef has been perfecting his methods over the years, and many believe Ranzan is deserving of a Michelin star. The meals keep improving, making each visit enjoyable and memorable. However, the ambiance has been described as odd, with an unusual combination of colors and textures, and wait times between courses can be long, sometimes taking up to 2.5 hours for the full experience. The restaurant's prices are high, and the sushi kaiseki menu has been considered expensive for the quality of ingredients. Overall, Ranzan offers a unique dining experience with excellent service, but the wait times and prices might not suit everyone. A 20% gratuity is automatically added for parties larger than six.
