Carl Lau Review of Jackalope ranch

I had the misfortune to go this restaurant on 6/21/2014. The ambiance of the restaurant is terrific. The food is sub-par, at least what was ordered. A glass of wine came in one of those stem-less wine glasses which would have been satisfactory, except that the external part of the glass was sticky, meaning that it was not clean. The wine itself was OK, but the temperature of the red wine was too warm, meaning that the wine emerged as being flat. This was soon replaced with another clean glass with a slightly cooler, temperature wise, wine. Then there was the Cobb Jackalope salad. Two were ordered at our table and mine didn't have any bacon in it, while the other one did. Attention to detail was clearly missing. Anyway, a very small container of bacon was brought to the table, nothing approaching the quantity in the "same" Cobb Jackalope salad next to me. Taste-wise mediocre. It all has to do with presentation and not what is on the plate. My lunch companions ordered a couple of hamburgers. The first one was as ordered. The second one had a request for cheddar cheese on it. Both burgers came with luke warm fries!!! There was no cheese on that hamburger. That was corrected, but it is an indication of not paying attention, whether it be the server and or the kitchen which comes across as them not caring. The luke warm fries were never corrected. So, if one doesn't mind sub-par, mediocre food with service to match, then just go there for the ambiance and consider it to be a high end sports bar to watch soccer or whatever on nice high definition displays. And consume enough alcohol so that the quality of the food is irrelevant. It would have been preferable to go to a Denny s where the food is predictable and the server pays attention to what you want and you get it.
