The owners of the Back Nine were equally inspired by the rich history of local cuisine and food preparation dating back to Rancho Carbonero. In Spanish, Carbonero is a place where charcoal is burned, much like an American BBQ. Our expansive fresh grill menu hopefully creates a pleasurable time for each of our Back Nine guests, as they view part of the famed course's front nine.

We love eating at Hero Ranch! Our server was Brianna and she was wonderful with us. Although it was busy, she checked in on us as much as she could. The food was excellent and came out quickly. We love sitting outside because they keep on the heaters and I love the ambiance.

Our dining experience at The Plumed Horse was exceptional! We were a party of five and had the 4-course prix fixe menu, which was exquisitely crafted. For dessert, we shared the entire dessert menu, and every bite was a delight. The elegant ambiance and impeccable service made the evening unforgettable. Highly recommend it for a truly special night out!

Ron was great, thorough and recommended the best items on the menu in order to make the ordering experience a bit simpler. The service from our waitress was excellent and we had plenty of folks checking on us and sharing interesting bits of information about the chef, the offerings, and upcoming events. Food was exceptional and came with plenty of free tastings that were a nice surprise. Will definitely be returning.
