My husband and I had Chef Kevin cater our wedding last September and we had to visit their new venture at Sandy Ridge and it was fabulous! The food is delicious and fresh using seasonal ingredients. We have been craving his food for a year and finally made our way out to visit again.

The atmosphere and ambiance were perfect for a late summer evening on the patio. If you’re looking for a chill spot with delicious food and good vibes this is it! Chef Kevin’s food will not disappoint.

Lindsey knows hospitality and made our experience great!

Thank you guys again for everything!

Would highly recommend !!

Did not have any food. Hostess was less than impressed that we wouldn't ordering food. We ordered drinks, staff stated beer would be a minute she had to get it from the back. Next time she came around she stayed on my your drink is almost gone and he hasn't gotten his drink yet, I will bring some water! Unacceptable!

Today we celebrated our girl with a wedding shower at Sandy Ridge. We had 55 people. It is an amazing venue, really no need to decorate. The food was amazing! The atmosphere was beautiful and we loved everything about the day!

I hate to tell people how great Sandy Ridge is because I want to keep this best kept secret to myself and friends. If someone is looking for excellent fine wines and exceptional cuisine, most people wouldn’t look in Norwalk, Ohio. Sandy Ridge is a hidden gem. The restaurant is decorated with a warm and welcoming ambiance complete with a delightful patio with fire pit.

The food is exquisite. Items are clearly created by an experienced chef who creates delicious and different dishes. I’ve never had anything that isn’t a 5-star dish.

The wine isn’t your normal Ohio wine. Every wine they offer is of the utmost quality. There really isn’t a better winery in the state of Ohio. No other winery can compare to the wine and food. It’s not overhyped like some other wineries in Ohio and blows the bigger, more well- known wineries out of the water on all aspects…food, wine, service, ambiance.

I took 12 people to lunch here. The food was wonderful, not run of the mill. It was so nice to have choices other than burgers etc.
Pleasant service and service. Thank you.

This place is a staple for my family and friends to meet almost every other week! The food is amazing! We are working our way through the menu trying every dish. It’s tough to say which item is our favorite because we have loved all of them. The Chef’s special crab cakes are spot on Maryland-style, the short rib (tacos and entree) are cooked to perfection and melt in your mouth, the salmon has flavors bursting in every bite…every dish is seasoned perfectly and the freshness of the ingredients pop!
The staff is always so welcoming! Making a reservation is key though because they are packed every time we visit; however, some visits when we decided to come in last minute without a reservation, they do their best to get us a table…..THANK YOU!!!
This spot is a hidden gem! We love that we can be guaranteed great service and great food in a beautiful setting every time!
See you again soon…..

Great atmosphere sitting outside on a beautiful evening with really nice background music. Sever wasn’t the best. We had a party of six and everyone’s food was excellent with one exception; a salad that was very poorly made. No replacement or accommodation was offered.

Wonderful! A hidden gem, fantastic atmosphere, excellent food and delicious wine. Lindsey was so gracious and knowledgeable, she made us feel so welcome. Truly a memorable experience. Best of the best.

Dine in. Was seated in direct sunlight. Sweating, we asked for a different table and was told “that’s where the system put you”. Very disappointed in this service.
