We both had the dinner salad with crumbled blue cheese. This wood-paneled, ranch-style resto serves mesquite grilled steaks and seafood. Smoked Prime Rib, I accidentally used the butter knife instead of the steak knife. The tender meat yielded just as easily, and it took a few bites to notice my mistake. With the extra jus, the prime rib proved a luscious dish with a mild smoky flavor. Both of our entrees were cooked medium as requested.

Inside, the Ranch House has the comfortable feel of a nice family restaurant. The open grill produces tantalizing smells as you walk into the main dining room. The front of the restaurant offers wonderful views of the sunset over the mountains and a large fireplace, two distinct advantages over the back section with its low ceiling. Memorabilia from Old Westerns provide interesting décor and contribute to the feeling of being thrown back in time. Nowhere in the establishment is gambling visible or audible.

Steaks

The menu features a wide array of chicken, seafood, and, of course, steak. The halibut and salmon choices have the option of Cajun seasoning, and the scallop fettuccini is served with a Chardonnay cream sauce. Most of the meat, however, is unadorned by sauces. The steaks are helpfully available in two sizes, though, with all the sides, even the smaller, 12-oz. Mickey Rooney also lived in the Valley, but in a more grandiose style--in a 27-room hacienda on Densmore Avenue in Encino, with a white tile roof, bay windows and a large pool. The two-story house, built in the early 1940s, has five garages.

Menus

The 2 1/2-acre site still has two 500-year-old oak trees in the front yard, said the house’s current owner, Donna Levy. All of the woodwork in the house was handcrafted by actor George Montgomery, an accomplished carpenter, who at the time lived on White Oak Avenue and was married to Dinah Shore, Levy said. I live in Northwest Vegas and plan to make this my hangout.

The diving board was the turtle’s head, and the four stairways into the pool were designed to look like turtle’s feet. When Barbara Stanwyck, who lived in Northridge, and Robert Taylor, a Chatsworth resident, were dating, they shared milkshakes at the counter of Kent’s Pharmacy on Reseda Boulevard in Northridge. Although some stables remain, the key reminder of the property’s equestrian past is a fake, life-size horse on the front lawn. Listed over the years for as much as $65 million, the property will sell Nov. 30 to the highest bidder —”without reserve,” in auction parlance.

Hearty Food in a Friendly Atmosphere

The salad, as viewed from a nearby table, appeared to be a large bowl of iceberg lettuce. Although standard at many family restaurants, this salad did not seem on par with the quality of the other dishes. The star of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cleopatra, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

Side dishes include baked potato, twice-baked potato, ranch house potatoes, rice pilaf, or mixed vegetables cooked in olive oil. The house special, ranch house potatoes, are cheesy mashed potatoes with the skins included. The twice-baked potatoes, on the other hand, were milder and creamier.

The First Baptist Church of Canoga Park bought the estate in 1961, and the three gabled houses that made up Burns’ crescent-shaped living quarters were turned into an elementary school. Roy Rogers and Dale Evans lived on Amestoy Avenue in Encino in a Spanish-style ranch home. The current owner of the house, Bienvenido Tan, said he occasionally still finds reminders of Rogers on the five-acre estate, including wagon wheels and horseshoes. Taylor was host and chief cook in those early party days, and even after he opened it up to the public in 1955.

The track’s 2018 six-pack of events will show off several enhancements the track has planned for the coming months as well. Racing fans can soon hear the magical sound of NASCAR cars screaming around Las Vegas Motor Speedway. LVMS grandstands and the Neon Garage will be open and available to the public free of charge, so fans can get an early racing fix roughly a month before the speedway’s March 2-4 NASCAR triple-header weekend. Antique saddles and Western movie posters still hang on the walls, and there’s little in the way of fancy tables, plates and silverware.

But the experience is what I seek, and this is where you get the real deal. Dessert offerings ranged from a light Key Lime Pie to heftier offerings such as Tiramisu. The brownie was perfectly moist with a large scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Either way, the offerings of steak, chicken, and seafood with hearty side dishes should leave no diner hungry, and the cozy location with its mountain views will leave the spirit fed too. The Jolson estate on Louise Avenue in Encino had an Olympic-size pool, cabana and arbor on a five-acre plot. The house, built in 1938, was sold in the early 1940s to Don Ameche, who sold the property back to Jolson in 1945.

Most of the beer options are available in bottles, including Bud, Miller, Corona, and Foster’s, while Newcastle Brown Ale and Bud Light are available on tap. The Newcastle is a great deal at $3.50 a glass, and the dark, nutty flavor accentuated our beef quite well. The wine list focuses on major varietals that accompany strongly-flavored grilled meat dishes, including Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay, but includes a range of other options to accompany any meal on the menu. There are several options by the glass, starting at the modest price of $4.50.

The lense of artist Catherine Opie captured something very different about Elizabeth Taylor and her home. Opie never met Elizabeth, but Elizabeth was an admirer of her work and invited her personally to photograph her home before and after Elizabeth’s hospitalization and eventual death in March 2011. Opie spent six months returning to the estate over and over again, taking over 3,000 photos, and then editing them down to 129 for the publication of her book,700 Nimes Road, published by Prestel.
