    This place is not like it once was. It's not a premium steakhouse at all anymore. I was unimpressed by everything except the Mahi Mahi (I'm not a fish person at all). Such a bummer! My New York was cooked medium, which was fine, but it was like eating plain cardboard. House salad was blah and not fresh. Fries were chewy and just slightly above room temp. I do not consider this restaurant worth the prices they charge.

    Ross was our waiter on a Friday evening. Very attentive and personable service. Make sure to make a reservation or expect a 2 hr wait. The food was cooked perfect. I personally do not like the sirloin cut but that’s not the restaurant fault. We all ordered the Ranch Cut Steak. Very tender bite and good sear with peppercorns. Any side you choice is perfect and flavors compliment the meal. I could have eaten a whole plate of pilaf and mashed potatoes. The layout is open concept with even an open kitchen. Pleasant decor. The bathrooms are clean with very detailed tile work. I was impressed. The back lit mirror offered a nice touch. Would have liked a touch less towel dispenser but would have clashed with the style. Overall I was satisfied and left with a Togo Box. We would recommend and would return for another try at the menu

    We are new to Fresno. Relocated from Calabasas California. Yosemite Ranch has quickly become one of our favs. The ambiance is cabin like with elevated luxury finishes. The crowed is family oriented. The music is always on point and eclectic. The food is outstanding. Great drink options. Clean restrooms. Friendly loving and attentive staff. The quality of the food for ordering out and/or delivery is the same as dining in. We love this place so much we will be hosting business dinners here’s. Keep up the great job guys.

    One our most favorite places when we go to Fresno, Ca! It's very pricey.. so it's definitely a special night out place! The service is amazing and the Swordfish is grilled to perfection! Don't forget to have the Grilled Artichoke, it's tye best one I have ave ever had!

    It was my first time but certainly not my last. Everything we had was amazing!! Our evening was cut short due to a power outage but the management and staff handled it very well. The food is divine!! Service was on their A game.

    Take a look at the photo of the table top, you think the saw joints are real or do you think it’s stamped on for looks? It might be real since the woods are different colors. Wonder how many people have held the steak cutting knife before me? Will one of you use one of these knives in the future? By the way, don’t sleep on the rice pilaf, it’s probably the best side, considering the potatoes are a bit much and heavy. The little reed tomato you see with the ribeye, it’s needed, so underrated. It’s like ginger at sushi places. Acts as a pallet cleanser, but more of a flavor refresher, because you may get some flavor fatigue after a bit. The steaks were obviously good but I’m so surprised by the tomato and the rice pilaf. Should we talk about the wooden tray and how that adds to the presentation? No let talk about the 3 wiseshimps. They were grilled to perfection, bringing the gifts of charred, sweet, and tender to my mouth.

    A very nice and busy yet casual steakhouse with a decor ode to Yosemite National Park. Loved the wood trusses and and chimney in the waiting area. Make sure you make a reservation otherwise you'd be in a good wait. TVs in the bar area visible thru most of the place. The host and waiter were very courteous and knowledgeable with their menu. The food is delish and well portioned. The artichoke appetizer is a must try!

    Nice place to sit and have a meal. The food was good, as was the service. It was my first time here, and I would like to return to try other menu items.

    Outstanding. We have sampled a wide variety of the menu and we're impressed with every selection...a rare dining opportunity in Fresno.

    The ambiance was good. The staff was very nice and professional. The food was not as good as we had hoped and not worth the exorbitant prices. The stuffed bread was very soggy and not what we thought it would be. The calamari steak had no flavor to it. The salmon was good but the butternut ravioli had no taste. The steak was not flavorful. We were disappointed. Our waitress forgot to put in my drink order. At the end of my meal she asked what type of drink I ordered. I told her to just take it off the bill and don’t worry about it. She did give us a slice of lemon cheesecake for forgetting my drink which was delicious. I don’t think we will be back because we weren’t impressed with the food or the prices.

    Was dining out with 4 colleagues. 4 out of 5 dishes were very good but the last steak arrived cold. A new one was prepared but the time it took was enough to ruin the mood of the colleague. Restaurant is very nice and the waiting area is very comfortable. Waiters and personel are very polite and helpful. Still a good experience but the cold steak is costing a star.

    Went on a a date night a couple days before Christmas. Not as packed as I expected but a steady flow of customers. Our reservation wasn’t even necessary. Love the atmosphere and open kitchen dynamic. Service was great as the hostess and waitress were very kind. Food is well worth the cost! From the bread appetizer to the bread pudding dessert, so delicious! I personally can’t afford frequent visits but hope to come back soon.

    Every time we travel from LA to Fresno we most stop and eat the best so far juicy,fresh,delicious Rib eye. Be at the location as soon as they open ,it gets busy quickly. Or make your reservation.

    First time checking this restaurant out and it was really good! From the wait staff to the food it was fantastic. The poke appetizer was delicious and and great portion. I had the Ranch Steak and it was like butter! Great Smokey taste and I just couldn’t stop eating it. Would highly recommend this place to everyone. My family also enjoyed their meals as well. Thank you!

    Arguably the finest steakhouse in the Fresno/Clovis area. Located at Champlain and Shepherd at the beautiful Woodward Lake area. Especially good fresh bread and pie. Not cheap, but well worth the money. Highly recommend!

    Came off the recommendation of a coworker and I really enjoyed my dinner. Casual steakhouse that put out a really nice ribeye at a decent price point. Got the special which was porcini encrusted and super good, cooked well and the mashed potatoes on the side reminded me of Boston Market (which is a high compliment). Service at the bar was solid, only compliant is beer list. That’s trash, no straight IPA, weird!

    Truly the best steak I have ever had. Santa Maria Ranch Steak. Perfect crust and cooked perfectly. I forgot I even ordered a side til the end. I'm from the Midwest where the steaks are from and they do not taste this amazing.

    We are visiting from Vegas and had high hopes for a nice dinner out but we were really disappointed. Our reservation was for 7:30 and when we arrived, the place was packed. Our table was not ready and we were told it would be a wait (even with a reservation....) We finally get seated but when we arrive at our table, it's still dirty. So now we are standing in the aisle waiting for someone to clean it when it should have already been ready. We started with Dr. Pepper. It was anything but tasty. We then ordered the Ranch Steak and the New York Strip. My Ranch Steak was pretty good. The Caesar Salad was delicious. My husband's New York Strip was very bland. Even after he added salt, the flavor did not improve. He was very unimpressed and could not even finish what remained on his plate as he said the fat wasn't even chewy, it was hard and tough and he just couldn't stomach the way it had been made. The potatoes were just okay. I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend them. We also asked for bread when ordering our meal. That bread did not come until after we were half way through our meals. Service was extremely slow, we had to ask other servers (that weren't ours) for refills because ours was MIA. I don't know if they are short staffed or just overly booked or what but we will definitely not return on future visits to Fresno.

    Came for dinner with a friend. The wait to be seated took a little longer than usual, even though I had an appointment. The food was delicious. We got the caramelized pork chop and a steak with potatoes and broccoli. So delicious. Portions were great too. The bread was soooooo good!!!!
