The atmosphere was cozy and the patio was beautiful! It's a beautiful older building that's been nicely renovated, but maintains its charm. The service was fantastic and our server was so sweet! She gave us great recommendations from their lunch special menu (great timing!) and both were delicious! My spicy noodles were well seasoned and cooked. Plenty of pieces of chicken and fresh mix of veggies. My friend's green curry was super fresh and flavorful! We both also agree the Tom Kha soup side was probably the best we've ever had! Please check out this little spot if you have the time! It will not disappoint!

Very accommodating as we changed seating from outside to inside due to cool weather and they were…read moregracious to seat us (4) at a nice private area.

This is one of those places. Small town cafes can go either way. If you're lucky, you'll find a gem…read moreand if not (insert poop emoji). The Ridge cafe was in the former category. The place was quaint in a very small town. On the inside, paintings and other interesting art scattered the walls, a few tables and a restroom with a fun bathtub garden. The display case at the front counter (where are you order food) featured some appetizing grab and go treats and bites such as peaches and cream muffins, various cookies, lemon bars, potato and a curry chicken salad. The woman at the counter was friendly and helpful with her recommendations. I had the NSJ Panini which was very tasty, it came with fries and coleslaw. I enjoyed everything. I ordered the lemon bar which was ok, a little tackier (sticky) than what I prefer but the flavor was nice. I was impressed by all of the smoothie and juice selections. They looked, well crafted and inviting. The next time I find myself in the area, I will definitely return for one of the salads and a smoothie!

Second times the charm!…read more Came in today Sunday for lunch while shopping with the fam and safe to say today's experience was top notch compared to our first a little while ago! The service was quick, we were seated in a timely manner and the food was so good! We sat closer to the bar and our server was on top of it! We ordered and had our food right away not even a 20 minute wait! We got the pulled pork sandwich, recommended by our server, the western burger, and the Mac and cheese for our little! It was all soooo good! The pulled pork sandwich was amazing. Happy to see this business thriving! And glad to update our review to a positive one! Today was great! Cheers!

First off I do not frequent higher end restaurants very often. I wanted to take my girlfriend out…read morefor a nice dinner on my birthday, so we invited my brother and his wife. I made reservations for 4 of us for a Friday night at 5:00. We were seated in the dining area on time, however because of the time of day the sunshine that was reflected off the building across the street through the window was absolutely blinding. We moved a table back but there was no difference. I let our guests sit in the seats that were not facing this terrible reflection and just dealt with it myself. We should have actually moved completely but didn't want to make a big deal about it. This issue could be easily fixed with blinds (duh) So we ordered our food. Women ordered the ball steak (which is sirloin) my brother ordered fish and I ordered the filet. Well the ball steaks were absolutely horrible (tough as shoe leather) fish (salmon) was ok and filet was also good but undercooked plus they forgot my mashed potatoes. ($69 for a 8oz filet which was probably more like 6 oz ) you would expect much better. We pointed that out (which is quite unbelievable they forgot the potatoes) they eventually brought them on a separate plate ( they were just warm). The butter was still pretty much frozen in the little tin cup that they serve it in. So we pointed out the two ball steaks were like leather. Both of the women have ordered those before and they have been good, well not this time. For the kind of money you spend for these meals, it really is sad. They did remove the two steak dinners from the bill but that does not make it all good in my opinion. Oh yeah and 5 slices of tomato's with cheese on top ( that were not ripe ) at $18 are you serious) For one of the top restaurants in this area, they completely failed. IWaitress was very nice and apologized (like they should) but unfortunately we won't be going back.

They also came with a piece of homemade bread, which was super good! There's also an 'add on' menu to customize what you want with your meal. Staff were friendly and helpful.

It's difficult to write anything negative about this place, because we had a really nice meal here…read more The menu is small but has a good variety, we got two pizzas and a salad (two adults and a kid), two sodas and water. Everything tasted excellent, the service was good, the location feels vibrant and modern, and is very family friendly. But... how on earth do they charge $100 for a meal for two and a half people. A meal you order at the counter. Afterwards, you are expected to bus your own table. Even if it is good. $100 is just crazy!!!

Our experience began with the Chaat, which was so flavorful, and the yak momo, which was so good we thought it had to be the best.

Definitely check out the art inside - a wonderful blend of Nepali art, both traditional and modern, complete with details of wood carvings reminiscent of Kathmandu. We can't wait to come back and try the momos (dumplings kind of like a potsticker).

I'm in love with their crispy tacos since they opened.

I appreciate the salsa choices. I'm surprised about the mixed reviews honestly. I guess it just depends what you order. I get some dishes can be a hit or miss. The cashiers they've had through the years have always been friendly and accommodating so no complaints there either. They have beer and wine too so yay for food and drinks. Just an easy, clean place to eat and drank a little. Thanks for being consistent for my crispy tacos and headed your direction now!

Well, this place delivered nothing short of an excellent experience! They were pretty busy, so we sat the bar. The service was great, fast and nothing short of amazing! Got to sample their beverage menu and have one of my favorite eggs Benedict dishes... hot off the grill, mouthwatering and delicious. The setting and atmosphere was pretty chill and relaxed, with some friendly neighbors around. I will be back to this place again and look forward to expanding my knowledge of their menu, as there was multiple things I wanted to try. Go check it out today, if you haven't been.

We were very hungry by the time we sat down due to the long, wait, but it was well worth it. However, that are hunger. I forgot to take very good food pictures. The kitchen and historic charm of the decor hides a quite spacious restaurant that is decorated with historic furnishings, and adorable crayon pictures colored by local children. The menu is varied and has something for everyone. I tried the potato pancakes, which are hashbrowns mixed with cheese and garlic and onions on top with pesto sauce and eggs, and I must say that they were a delightful surprise, crispy and savory and worth every bite. My friends ordered the tofu breakfast burrito at Cuevo rancheros along with the bacon and egg breakfast at all said they were. We chose to share a three person mimosa, which includes a bottle of champagne and juice of your choice to accompany, and it was just perfect for our group. Our survey Anna was very busy, but made sure to check on us after serving the food and made sure that the food was served our liking and responded to every request we had. I would definitely plan on waiting in line on the weekends. They have a self-service waiting list and they will call you - inside or outside- when your table is ready. We waited a full 45 minutes on a Sunday around 11:00 am. Worth the wait, though!
