Food was delicious, service was impeccable and we all left very happy. I’m still dreaming about the short rib manicotti. Definitely coming back!

The steak was very tough. When the manager was told she didn’t seem to care and did not give a discount. One meal didn’t even get touched since it was not good and that wasn’t taken off at all. Just disappointed with managers response. The server was kind.

Alyssa best server I’ve had in a while, the food speaks for itself but her service and charisma made me feel like family not like another guest. If you don’t wanna feel like another guest but like family come here and ask for

We at here tonight, the view is beautiful, the atmosphere was nice, and our waitress did a good job. The best thing we ate were the Brussels sprouts. They were very good! Had lots of good options on the wine list.As for the other food, we were let down. 3 ppl got the steak, cooked good but SO tough. So much chewing. Told the waitress. She apologized. A little later the manager asked how everything was and we told her. She apologized. We also got the lamb shank, the sauce was GROSS, the sides had zero flavor. Took about 3 bites and asked the waitress to take it away. They didn’t comp anything. Didn’t try to send a free dessert over. Nothing. We will not be back. If you don’t eat meals and complain about the bad food to 2 ppl and you don’t care enough to try to make it better… that’s not ok. On the way out I told the manager we would leave a bad review, she apologized again and was willing to talk about how to take care of us but things should have been felt with before we’re complaining a third time. Very disappointing.

This isn't a restaurant, it is a unique slice of the universe draped in love and happiness. The two proprietors serve a wonderful, tasteful and inspired menu with love and welcome. If you want a warm hug of an experience for dinner - with good food, music, atmosphere, cocktails and happiness, look no further.

Creative cocktails and unique menu with some lesser known ingredients. Various sizes of dishes for picky eaters and those like me who like to try a lot of things. Wonderful to have live music which adds to the inviting atmosphere. Make a reservation today

Unexpected and delicious. Friendly service, great atmosphere.

First time going, and it was excellent. Lively but not too loud, the lighting was perfect, and the food made it hard to hold a conversation since you couldn’t get enough of it in your mouth. Andrew was an amazing server and a great guy, he took good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed.

Needs more attention to detail , was very lack luster. Menu looks great but doesn't deliver. Will have to give this place a break for awhile till they can get back to where there used to be.

Even though they advertise as vegetarian friendly the fact of the matter is there are no entrees that are vegetarian. This is a meat eater's restaurant. The service was fair but there was an extremely long wait from ordering to receiving food and the food was only marginally warm. I am not one to complain about service and food quality but I have been here several times now and am consistently disappointed.

Excellent! Always excellent! We had a party of 6-diners and everyone loved the food and drinks. We had tuna steak with divine rice, salmon which was excellent, the smash burger was fabulous, scallops which were perfect and the pork chop was top notch. The restaurant was slammed, however, the staff and bar kept up perfectly and service was fantastic. Free Range is consistently excellent! We'll be back again, and again, and again!

The potential here is off the charts, and that roasted red pepper bisque was a top tier soup. Soup does a lot to move the needle forward for me obviously, but I couldn't in my heart go above three stars for the kind of night we had. The food here is the true star of the show; our two pasta entrees were compelling deviations from the usual valley menu staples, plated beautifully and absolutely delicious. Portions for everything from appetizers to dessert are well above average. Overall there's a lot of value for your money here, (for food anyway).Service is where things get rocky, and it started from the first cold greeting from the hostess. The vibe was just so incredibly off from everyone we came in contact with. Our waitress was attentive at least, but not personable and woefully uneducated about the menu. Free Range has a well deserved reputation for a diverse and unique wine list, but our server could not pronounce nor remember the order of our three glass wine flight. A shame considering all three were heavenly.Preferring to get a bottle but left hung out to dry not knowing the names of anything we tasted, we decided on cocktails instead. Woah boy! This valley has a high bar for craft cocktails, so it's baffling that Free Range hasn't even mastered the basics yet. The whole menu needs to be stripped down and redone by a real mixologist. Like the wine, the server of course could not tell us what brand of liquors were used in any of the drinks. For a restaurant at this price point that is just bewildering.There were confused and dissatisfied looks from many diners in our section. Plates were slammed down unceremoniously without a smile at our table, and we noticed more than one server carrying wine to tables by literally palming the bowls of the glasses. We watched this whole scene while thoroughly enjoying our dinner, sometimes in amusement and sometimes in shock. Huge shout out to our one food expo, she was literally the only authentic employee interaction we had all night. Other than her not a genuine smile was in sight, or even a "thanks for dining with us" as the check was dropped off. Everyone was just so indifferent to our patronage. Truly baffling.My sincere hope is that this was just an isolated incident of epic proportions. Maybe the owners were out of town and the staff was letting their hair down for the night so to speak. The aesthetic here is refreshing, welcoming and comfortable. The view from the picture windows untouchable. The food delicious. Still, one of the weirdest date nights we've had in a long long time.
