Everything we had was spot on. Seafood platter consisting of crab cakes, breaded catfish, and jumbo steamed shrimp, also had bang bang shrimp, and oysters Rockefeller. The staff was kind and attentive, and a pleasure to talk with. The cocktails were also spot on. Well done.

I have been to the Ridley a few times but my visit was today was spectacular. Evelyn and Isaiah on the bar were extremely attentive. I requested a very specific drink with specific ingredients and they took care of me and made me exactly what I was looking for. Evelyn continued to check on me to make sure I was okay during my entire visit! Pasta dish with chicken was pretty good but the drink was the highlight of my visit!

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to The Ridley. The food and atmosphere were perfect for our anniversary dinner. The Brussel sprouts and skillet cornbread were amazing!
We also appreciated the history highlighted in the name of the establishment.
