“ Visited this restaurant for a special South African Wine Dinner and enjoyed a four course meal with delicious aperitifs between each course. The menu was unique, featuring a variety of flavors, including butternut squash salad, pistachio crusted salmon, lamb chops, couscous, and the best whipped mashed potatoes ever! In addition to the food and wine, the experience was augmented with table visits by the owners, who stopped by and discussed the wines and vineyards. Quite the treat and a departure from the typical night out. I'm looking forward to attending future special events at Ranazul. ”

“ I've dined in the area so many times and finally stopped into Ranazul. My friend and I celebrated a job promotion. We got there right around 5 PM and shortly after the bar was packed. We ordered everything from the calamari, ceviche, salmon avocado sashimi, pork stroganoff, and their shrimp orzo. The sashimi was delicious and plenty of fish per dish. The stroganoff was really good with the tender pork tenderloin and mushroom sauce. My friend and I agreed the shrimp orzo was one of the best dishes. The shrimp was cooked perfectly and the orzo with the brown butter sauce makes this dish a must order. Service here was perfect. Even with a full bar we were served really quickly. This is a fun place to enjoy some drinks and yummy tapas. ”
