Rangs Cocina Moderne is a small Mom and Pop restaurant where Rang does most of the cooking and her husband Benedict does most of the serving. They offer a menu that is a blend of mostly Italian, Spanish, and a little Filipino inspired foods. They offer soups, salads, small plates, pasta, entrees, sides, desserts, soft beverages, and wine.
So far we tried –
Sweet potato carrot ginger soup.
It’s creamy and rich and does taste like sweet potatoes, carrots, and is mildly gingery. It’s garnished with a few croutons that taste like fresh toasted bread.
The Dulong
Is toasted baguette with whitebait (small mild white fish), olive oil, garlic, lemon, caper, red pepper flakes.
It’s tasty and is not very fishy at all.
We tried the smoked salmon & goat cheese on baguette.
It different but tasty with pesto and capers. The salmon taste like nova.
We tried the Bacalao Potato Croquettes.
This one is also less fishy than I was expecting. It is fried to perfection and seems free of oil. The panko coating has an interior of mostly a mashed potato with very mild salt cod. It’s topped with lemon aioli and sits on a small amount of something red peppery (that I should have asked for more of)
We also tried the mushroom ravioli.
Little pillows stuffed with mushrooms in a creamy rich pesto sauce.
My husband tried the Chorizo Bolognese.
This was made with garlic, onions, spicy chorizo, tomato sauce, and parmesan cheese. The pasta wasn’t soggy and was well prepared. I heard that this was different and also tasty.
We shared the fish Florentine.
The mild meaty cod was prepared to perfection. The spinach taste fresh made. The potatoes Anna are really scrumptious.
The pesto crusted salmon is different and also delicious. The fish was also prepared properly (bloodline and skin removed) and prepared medium-ish so it was moist and not fishy tasting with an interesting crisp and tasty crust. The petite green beans (haricots verts) are sweet and crisp. The mashed potatoes were terrific too!
We also shared the slow braised beef cheek.
The beef is melt in your mouth tender and is flavorful. The petite green beans are tendercrisp and are the sweetest best green beans I’ve ever tasted and the mashed potatoes are also very good. The dish was embellished with a little gremolatta too.
New to the menu is a New York Strip. This was in a citrusy soy type sauce and was topped with caramelized onions. The steak was prepared to medium to please most people. This also came with petite green beans and rice.
The one thing that all the dishes had in common were that they all were seasoned to perfection. You don’t need to add salt or pepper to anything. Everything is perfect.
So far for dessert –
We shared a lemon meringue tart.
It has lemony curd and a tasty crust but has a marshmallow meringue.
On another visit we shared the opera cake.
It’s full of different flavors of thin layers. It’s mildly coffee flavored with almond sponge and chocolate. It’s topped with a gold coated chocolate that looks like a coffee bean and on the side was whipped cream and a cherry.
Everything was delicious and service was amazing. It’s better than many of the strip restaurants and cost a lot less.
