    My wife and I were celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary. We were told by friends this is a wonderful place to see the sunset and have a delicious dinner. They were not wrong. I sent a message to the staff at Mission Ranch and they sat us at the most perfect table to see everything, too bad there was cloud cover, so we couldn’t see a sunset, but the view was spectacular. I got prime rim and it was excellent, seasoned to perfection. My wife got crab cakes and they were full of crab meat. We also got shrimp cocktail and a shrimp were huge.
