We serve lunch from 11:30-2:30 & dinner from 5:30-9:00 on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays to anyone who would like to come, including guests who are staying here at the ranch. Located in our beautiful native plant garden center, The Terrace Grill is complete with Koi pond & waterfall as well as a stream flowing next to the dining area. For pictures, go to 'Food & Wine' in the bar across the top on the "home" page. This lovely outdoor venue is covered for shade & well fanned for constant breeze in the summer, and has clear plastic roll downs and heaters which provide complete warmth in the winter. The Terrace Grill features an outdoor wood burning oven and grill for cooking tasty dishes for dinner as well as lunch time selections including gourmet pizzas.

This fun outdoor culinary experience enables diners to watch the process & smell the delectable aromas while surounded by the beautiful native plant garden center.
