Elegant and cozy but still very hype. The atmosphere is great for a casual lunch to q business lunch or a romantic dinner. Food was delicious I highly recommend the lobster and blackberry cake which was to die for.

Great atmosphere in a good part of town. Food is always tasty and portioned well with good presentation. Service sub par on this occasion but generally it's good. She may have been having a bad night.

We celebrated our wedding anniversary on New Years Day. Everyone was so nice. The bartender was super busy but didn't miss a beat while we waited for our table. She was very nice and bubbly. Drinks were on point. Our server at our table was Jasmine. She was awesome! Very attentive and extremely nice. The food was amazing. We started with the shrimp cocktail. Delicious! For our entres, hubby ordered the filet steak, and I ordered the ribeye. Both cooked to perfection. Portions are a good size. Thank you to everyone who made our wedding anniversary so amazing!

Great place for an office holiday party, which is why I went. Food is pricey but totally worth it. The chocolate cake dessert is crazy big and so very chocolaty. I didn't get the chocolate cake but I wish I did.. lol

If you don’t have a reservation, don’t even bother coming here. This place should really be reservation-only because the wait times for walk-ins are ridiculous. When I arrived, there were 70 groups ahead of me—not just 70 guests, but 70 separate parties. That just doesn’t seem right. I can’t speak on the food since I didn’t get the chance to eat here due to the two-hour wait. However, my three-star rating is based on the overall service. If a restaurant consistently draws this many people, they need to work on improving efficiency. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and the speed of service could definitely use some improvement. To be clear, I’m not saying the food is bad—I didn’t get to try it. But when I leave reviews, I consider both quality and how well the place is run. Hopefully, this helps someone else avoid the same frustrating experience I had.

I had the pleasure of dining at Yosemite Ranch Steakhouse on a Wednesday evening around 7 PM. To our delight, we were promptly seated with only a 2-minute wait time. The service was impressive from the start! 😊 My friend and I both ordered the Santa Maria steak 🥩, accompanied by steamed broccoli 🥦 and crispy confit potatoes 🥔. The steaks were cooked to perfection, exactly to our liking, and the sides were equally delicious. The food arrived quickly and was served piping hot, which added to our overall satisfaction. 🔥 The atmosphere was pleasant, and despite the restaurant’s lively vibe, we felt well attended to throughout our meal. The bill came out to around $32 per person, which included fountain drinks and a well-deserved 20% tip. 💵 Overall, Yosemite Ranch provided a fantastic dining experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great steakhouse in Fresno! 🍽️

Got the steak in blue cheese and it was phenomenal, cooked to the perfect temperature. Carlos our waiter was so attentive and amazing at is job from the knowledge of the menu to topping off our drinks before we had to ask. The seating is quite tight which is my only complaint about the restaurant
