Had a superb meal there with friends. The antipasto platter was an excellent starter. The bread is always good. Followed this with the chicken which my friends had too. Very enjoyable. Only slight problem was the noise - not the jazz but just people talking but great food More

Prices in the higher ranges but the food is sensational and the wine menu is tailored to match the food. Hubby had the Degustation Menu - small portions... More

My husband I dine out very regularly with friends; we selected the Wild Oak for our 23rd wedding anniversary dinner (just the two of us). We've been a fan of Ranges Cafe for years but wanted to try somewhere new. First impressions were - very welcoming friendly staff and a quaint dining environment. We were promptly seated and offered drinks... More
