Featured Dining Highlights

LAMB CHOPS

Our lamb chops represent the pinnacle of Western ranching tradition. Hand-selected by 1875 Ranch in Silver Lake, Oregon, these exceptional cuts embody the purest expression of the High Desert.

Each lamb is pasture-raised on the rich landscape of Oregon, where they roam freely across natural pastures, developing distinctive flavor depth impossible to achieve in commercial settings. The ranch maintains time-honored ranching practices while embracing environmental stewardship—producing lamb free from hormones and industrial pollutants.

The chops are precisely prepared with a delicate balance of rosemary and garlic, their natural flavors enhanced by a light brush of olive oil. Our chefs exercise meticulous timing to achieve the perfect medium-rare finish, perfectly cooked to preserve the meat's tenderness and allow its complex flavors to shine.

The result is a dish that celebrates both place and tradition—offering a pure and memorable taste of the American West.

BONELESS RIBEYE STEAK*

The boneless ribeye you order stands as a testament to the art of steak. Each cut tells a unique story—one shaped by the distinct, organic character of the animal it came from. We celebrate this natural diversity in our ribeyes, understanding that every steak arrives with its own signature marbling pattern and flavor profile. Our chefs honor this uniqueness through careful preparation—enhancing the meat's natural richness with precise seasoning that complements rather than overwhelms.

The ribeye is cooked at the exact temperature needed to achieve a caramelized exterior while maintaining the interior's remarkable tenderness and juiciness. The result is a masterful fusion of robust beef flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture that transforms a simple meal into a memorable dining event.

Generously portioned and expertly prepared, our ribeye delivers a culinary experience that stands alongside the finest steaks in the US.

I don’t give stars lightly. this was probably the best ribeye I’ve had in over 5 years. I come from larger urban areas with fine dining restaurants etc… I don’t think they serve wagyu, but wow is what I had to say when I was asked how my food tasted… The environment was very nicely lit and well decorated, the whole team operated like they were one. The bartender served a superb old fashioned and had a skilled poor from the draft. the kitchen team absolutely nailed everything perfectly, seasoning was just right and my Ribeye was picture perfect medium rare… the service team nailed it! There was very little to no wait and they weren’t hovering either. They paid enough attention to all of their customers meeting everyone’s needs with a smile and great suggestions. Great job y’all never change!!! most definitely would go out of my way to to eat here again!

First time trying this spot definitely will be going back again. Date night dinner @ this place was so worth going, Food was delicious, server was very nice and made sure we were satisfied with our meals. I had me the oilasko Florentine and the hubby had the house special. Recommend this place for some good eats for sure

We were passing through on our way from Oregon to Colorado and stopped in not knowing what to expect. We were surprised and impressed; the food was VERY good, the service was great and the drinks were perfect.I was also impressed by the fact that they have decor that features plenty of fabric, which deadens some of the noise; one of the few places I've dined at that didn't sound like bedlam when there are many diners. Although the place was pretty full, we had a lovely, reasonably quiet, romantic diner. I would unhesitatingly recommend it.We would (and expect to) eat there again during future excursions.
Byron B. Yelp ★★★★

So much better than any of the cookie cutter chain restaurants and unique to just about anywhere I’ve been. Excellent food, friendly service and a true taste of Basque. Portions are generous, so feel free to split a plate if your appetite is average or if you’re traveling and can’t do leftovers. Will stop here every time we pass through.
Ijay T. TripAdvisor ★★★★★

The BEST steak I have had in YEARS. My son (17) says it’s the best of his whole life. We are from the city (Salt Lake) and no stranger to fancy restaurants and good food, but still impressed with Ormachea’s. My only regret is I have no reason to come back through this part of the world, but I might just drive the 5 hours from home just to come here.
