Dining Room and Patio
The Range Restaurant is a laid-back American restaurant with a patio. The room suits a slow dinner, with enough space to settle in, look over the menu, and start with a first plate before moving into a main course.
The patio gives guests another way to dine. Some tables sit outside, so the meal can begin in open air and move at the same pace as the rest of the evening. A guest can arrive for a straightforward dinner and stay with the table through soup, salad, or a larger plate from the American menu.
The setting stays casual without losing structure. A visit here works for a simple meal after work, a quieter dinner with a longer conversation, or a night built around a few courses. The patio keeps the option open for fresh air while the dining room keeps the focus on the food and the table.

About The Range Restaurant
The Range Restaurant is an American restaurant in Santa Margarita, on El Camino Real. It serves seafood, steak, pasta, and more in a laid-back setting with a patio.
The meal starts with starters, soup, or salad. French onion soup sits beside curry cauliflower pickles, beet pickles, and Spanish white anchovies. Caesar salad and The Garden Salad give the table a lighter first course. From there, the menu moves into main plates such as Mary’s Free Range Chicken Breast, Forest Mushroom Ravioli, and 14-Hour Oak Smoked Brisket. The kitchen also prepares ribeye, lamb chops, elk medallions, brisket, and tomato bisque.
Drinks are part of the same flow. Coke and Dr. Pepper appear on the list, along with a wine list. Guests choose a first course, then a main plate, then a drink to finish the meal. The range of dishes gives room for seafood, steak, and pasta on one table. Hot plates arrive after the earlier courses, with the menu moving from lighter bites to heavier cuts and pasta.
