Rancho Steak House

Great atmosphere, great service, amazing food. Would definitely recommend it. Booked in advanced for valentines, was told we could choose where to sit, even the booth that was meant for 4. Great choice of steaks, unfortunately they were out of ribs. Once we were sat down our food came within 40 minutes of ordering. Went for the meat platter for 2 which came with a large selection of well cooked steaks and side orders of chips and fried onions (as they had run out of ribs) included. Plenty of quantity for 2. Extremely happy overall.

We had a lovely meal here on a very busy rugby match day. Something a bit different, and the quality of the food (both meat and seafood) was second-to-none.

One thing that we couldn't fault is the food - we were impressed with both the starters, but couldn't believe the mixed plate - selection of steaks, ribs, chorizo and chicken were all well cooked and good quality. What spoiled the evening for us was the service… the waitress clearly didn't know the menu (it's not the most extensive), and even after asking what steaks were on the mixed plate (which she had to check), she hadn't told us about what else was included. Thankfully the waiter also on shift was more experienced, came over and informed us about the additional items, and suggested a change of starter based on that. The waitress was also confused when we asked for cutlery, as she didn't know what this was... I'd suggest that the restaurant replaces some of it's 4 seater tables with 2 seaters… it's a small cosy place with under 40 covers (2 of the booths didn't have seats fitted, so were out of action), and every table there only had 2 diners, resulting in a number of people being turned away, which is a shame as would hate to see a restaurant with such good food get a reputation for turning people away. Look forward to going back sometime in the future, hopefully when the staff are more experienced.

Easy to book online. Confirmation email. The restaurant was lovely and the food was amazing! We all had fillet steak. I had prawns with mine. Cooked exactly how we asked. Staff very attentive and friendly. Would definitely go back when in Edinburgh again.
