I luv this restaurant. The food, service & atmosphere are superb. They also have a very good bartender. I had 2 of the best chocolate martini's ever!! This is my 4 time going. And I'll continue going. I ate the duck brest. It was cooked perfect. And the chocolate torte was so yummy too.

Parking: You can always find a parking space. The area is just a little tight.

The food was amazing. They are also
Open on Sundays for locals and they offer more casual fare. The fish and chips I had that night were maybe the best I’ve ever had, super simple but executed perfectly. Perfectly seasoned, and crispy while still flaky and tender. The salads I had both days were also perfect. Breakfast was surprisingly delicious as well. My least favorite things were the mole empanada and calamari but would order everything else again and again ?

One of my favorite places in the world. We love Gideon Ridge. It’s is our 4th year in a row staying onsite and always doing dinner on Saturday night. Menu changes but still has mainstays like the awesome chicken liver pate. Great drinks and wine. The best part is the staff from hostesses to waitresses. Plus Hunter Womble and his partner Tim are fantastic cooks. Look forward to many more meals here over the years to come.

We went for the first time and loved it ! The most amazing view you can only wish for !
Their reservations open up 2 weeks in advance and you have to be waiting there in the website to snag the table !
So worth it !
Food is really good, great presentation!

My wife and I got engaged here. The experience and food was perfect and the staff were fantastic and treated us great when they knew we were engaged. I can't recommend the restuarant enough.

James Beard five star restaurant. Food was excellent but very expensive. Hard to get a reservation.

Food: yummy stuff. Only complaint is the calamari was very chewy and I typically like an “non fried” preparation. Add a scallop to your fish and get the best of both worlds. Or just order six servings of the buttered popcorn ice cream situation. I am still dreaming of it.
Drinks: on points. They are pros!
Service: excellent. Above and beyond to make you feel special

Always a favorite spot. The ambiance is 10/10 with an extremely welcoming and kind staff. I’ve been here 3-4 times since moving to the area and love it each time. The pork ribeye (never heard that term either) was one of the best dishes I’ve ever eaten. Filet or good beef cut is always on point. Thanks for having us!
