The Ridley is truly exceptional. We were staying at The Draftsman for a UVA weekend, and the team at The Ridley went above and beyond for us on two separate nights. On the first night, the staff — including their wonderful manager, Tawanna — helped me with a personal last-minute request late in the evening. They absolutely didn’t have to, but they stepped in with kindness and professionalism.

Amazing food. The cornbread was warm and moist. The pasta was also very very good; the chicken was slightly dry, but the sauce was wonderful. My boyfriend ordered the short-rib, and it might be the best I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Great experience.

The quality of the food was very disappointing. The new Halibut dish was dry and the pumpkin ravioli was 'off'.
The service was very good. The restaurant has great potential. Hiwever, they have to pay attention to the basics, hot, fresh, well prepared food served as soon as it is prepared.
