Wood Ranch — Restaurant in Agoura Hills

I had the pleasure of dining at Wood Ranch Restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional culinary experience that exceeded all my expectations! From the warm and inviting ambiance to the mouthwatering dishes, Wood Ranch truly has it all.

Upon entering the restaurant, I was immediately struck by the cozy, rustic atmosphere, complete with wood accents, dim lighting, and a welcoming fireplace. The friendly staff promptly greeted me and led me to my table, where I was excited to dive into the extensive menu.

Wood Ranch's menu boasts a fantastic selection of American comfort food, with an emphasis on succulent, wood-fired meats. After much deliberation, I opted for the baby back ribs, which were cooked to perfection and practically falling off the bone. The house-made BBQ sauce was a delightful balance of sweet and tangy flavors, perfectly complementing the tender, smoky meat. My dining companion enjoyed the tri-tip steak, which was juicy, flavorful, and cooked exactly to her liking.

Of course, I cannot forget to mention the delectable sides! The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and full of flavor, while the mac and cheese was rich, gooey, and incredibly satisfying. And let's not forget the warm, freshly baked bread that was brought to our table - it was the perfect way to start our meal.

The service at Wood Ranch was top-notch, with attentive and knowledgeable staff who were more than happy to offer recommendations and ensure that our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. The pacing of the meal was spot-on, allowing us to savor each dish without feeling rushed.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a delicious and satisfying meal in a warm, inviting atmosphere, look no further than Wood Ranch Restaurant. The combination of mouthwatering dishes, exceptional service, and cozy ambiance make it a dining experience that you won't want to miss. I'm already looking forward to...

We have been coming here for years and have a noticed a decline in quality of food and service on our last couple of dinners here.

Server took our dessert order and didn’t clear the table even though he had nothing in his hands at that moment.

He brought out the desserts, dropped them on the dirty table, and then left again, without clearing the table, with his hands empty. I tried to get his attention for a few minutes as he performed other duties, walking by our table multiple times with his hands empty.

Five empty entrée plates, five empty bread plates, one empty bread basket, 1/2 eaten appetizer plate, five sets of cutlery, several used sauce cups and little bits of onion rings strewn across the table and somehow he thought it was okay for us to have dessert like that. After about 10 minutes I got his attention and asked to please have the table bussed. He walked away from me with empty hands and didn’t clear a single plate. He returned after 5 minutes and took 2 plates away. At this point, I ‘d had enough and went to speak to the manager. He listened to my concerns and said they would be addressed. When I return to the table, miraculously, it had been cleared.

By that time the desserts were cold and the ice cream on them was melted into a milky soup.

No one checked on the table to see if the desserts were OK or try to recover our business. Neither the server nor the manager checked back on us. No acknowledgment of the service lapse, no apology. I still left him an 8% tip to cover the federal income tax he will have to pay on our bill.

At these prices, I expect at least the minimum standard of service. We won’t be back and I do not recommend spending your hard earned money there.

I will start this review with the positives: we all enjoyed our food and our server Tajazee was very helpful, prompt and accommodating. My biggest issue is with the management at this establishment. I called about a week in advance to make a reservation for a party of 10 on a Saturday night at 6:30. I understand this is prime rush time, so made sure to make a reservation to ensure they could accommodate us. They said all was well and I called the day of to confirm the reservation. We arrived promptly at our 6:30 reservation time and were told it would be about a 10-15 minute wait as they were waiting for a couple of tables to get up. I didn't have much of a problem with this as I understand timing cannot be perfect on a busy weekend night, and we weren't in a huge rush. We ended up waiting (and I am not exaggerating here) a full hour until our table was ready. Only was communicated with when we had to go back and ask what was going on several times. Hosts were friendly but received NO communication or apology from management about the excessive wait for our reservation. Additionally, we were brought to a table that was shoved up against a back wall on one side and another party on the other side. We are not big people but we could barely fit and hide to climb into the chairs (so we could not get up during the meal). This was even worse for the servers trying to serve both parties. I cannot believe how cramped it was back there. The two stars are given only for how well Tajazee was able to accommodate our party and make sure we were happy after the pitfall that was the management of this place. As good as the food was and as good as our server was, we will not be returning due to the poor management and...
