Went here for Comedy night. Was very busy. Food was amazing. We had the avocado tempura, shrimp ceviche, garlic parmesan wings, pork chop Milanese, Hawaiian salad, lobster roll & churros. Best meal we've had in long time. Kudos to the kitchen. read more

This was our first visit. We ate in the Tavern. The bartender was great and made an amazing martini. The food we ordered was off the restaurant menu due to our Groupon. The meals were both delicious. We will definitely return to try the Tavern menu which looked amazing. The only negative was the noise level. read more

Service way too slow...kitchen staff was overwhelmed. 60 minutes for linguine & clams way too long. Wait staff was friendly.

Terrible service. Went in on a slow night for a glass of wine, bartender refused to accept my ccw permit as valid ID. She was terribly abrupt and rude. When we explained it is a valid form of ID and I was not the one driving, she stated they only accept drivers license or passports because they are issued by DMV. I pointed out that passports are not issued by the DMV and in fact I had to be 21 and have a federal background check to obtain this so its an even better form of ID. She stated it's the business's policy of what they accept and walked away mid conversation. I would never give them a cent after that interaction. read more

Off the beaten track but worth the trip. Warm atmosphere in the tavern excellent food and drink

We had a great dinner at this new restaurant. It's somewhat casual located at the base of Powder Ridge Ski Resort. It was a quiet Sunday night and I was surprised it wasn't busier. The service was great; professional and attentive. We had clam chowder and sliced Heirloom tomatoes and Burrata. Both were delicious. I had the pork chip with corn risotto which were both delicious and perfectly sized portions. Chef Kevin runs a good kitchen and I highly recommend this place for a mid-summers night meal. read more

I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. The setting is beautiful, interior is modern and calming. Our food was amazing- appetizers of clam chowder and lobster gnocchi were phenomenal. Our meals of filet and Berkshire pork chop outstanding as well. Everything seasoned perfectly w masterfully selected accoutrements. Nice to have a manager and the head chef check in with us as well. Great service, wonderful meal. We will be back! read more

I dined at this restaurant two times now and still have mixed thoughts on it. When you walk in, there is not a host or anybody who directs you to a table. Both times I have wandered in and ended up in the bar section, just because the rest of the place looks pretty abandoned. They have asked me both times if I had a reservation, and I did not either time. Again, it was a total ghost town so I didn't feel the need to. I did notice that people that called in advance seemed to get superior service and attention compared to those who just dropped in. The restaurant is beautiful and tastefully decorated, but I have found the seating to be a bit uncomfortable. It feels like you're sitting on lawn furniture. I was not aware until this last visit that they have both a restaurant and tavern menu. (They don't ask you which one you would like) On our previous visit, we saw the entire menu, but this last trip we were just handed a piece of paper with a few options. I have never been disappointed with anything I've ordered. The seafood choices are phenomenal and cooked to perfection. The only disappointment is I wish they were served with a small salad and bread for the price. I think this is a place that everyone needs to try and come to their own conclusions about. It's a weird layout and always empty and overly quiet. My best way to describe it is confusing. I still don't know how it works: where do I sit? Am I supposed to have a reservation? Is it black tie or casual? Do I ask for a certain menu? Two visits later I still don't know the answers! read more

The food was great, and the prices are moderate. However, the service is very slow. I was with a party of 3 and there were only 3 other people in the restaurant. When we walked in there was nobody to greet us or tell us where to sit. We had to wait 30 minutes for our waitress to come check on us, so that we could ask for the check. And when we asked, we ended up waiting another 15 minutes to receive it. It seemed unusual that it took so long to serve us when there were only a few customers. Very disappointed with the service. read more

Not very impressed at all, beginning with the service that requires a lot of improvement. The host was very accommodating (moving us from the downstairs dining area to the upstairs area where this is a view of the mountains) but as soon as you're released to your waiter the friendliness disappeared. When inquired if they had non-alcoholic beer the waiter looked as though we asked a question he never heard before and quickly snapped back "nope we don't have it". Ok... thanks for offering to figure out something that was non-alcoholic, instead he said he'd give us more time to look over the drink menu and walked away. Food is a bit pricey for Middlefield... $34 for a bone in NY Strip steak was more of an embarrassment to the restaurant when I asked the waiter if I could substitute the grilled asparagus with mushrooms from another entrée. He informed me there would be a $3 up-charge to change the veggies. $37 for a steak that is not from a high end steak house? I chose to decline the up-charge. That was the first time I've ever encountered an up-charge to swap out one veggie for another, especially when mushrooms are much cheaper at the store. I opted for the asparagus that ended up being very think, limp and somewhat wilted. The steak was not that great as well, in fact, it was a grocery store quality steak, far from a $34 steak. We had to request bread for our table, not once but twice. The second time was just before our entrees arrived, but the bread didn't arrive until we were almost done with our entrées. I can't recommend this one and doubt I'll be rushing to return. There's better service and food close by. read more

I'll be back for sure. Sara is a damn good bartender and Courtney's French fries are killer. Get the burger. I don't know how they ski here, though. The hill is like 50 feet. read more

Very nice bar/restaurant area. Clean modern feel to it. Relaxed atmosphere. The food is excellent. Great prep and fresh ingredients. We stopped in last week for a bite and you can get the sense that they are starting to hit their stride. Just in time too because this place will be CROWDED once the ski crowd arrives. You won't be disappointed driving the extra 10 minutes to eat here. read more

Two hours for lunch for five on a Saturday in September. And, they had to comp half the meals for the exceedingly slow service and forgetting to put in an order. I was able to catch the manager's eye, he came over, I asked him to look at our ticket as in, "from when the order was put in, to still not having our meals"...Never...saw...him...again. I get it: nice outdoor setting with plenty of social distancing, right near Lyman's for apple picking, only on-site food/beverage for the downhill mountain biking, so they'll have plenty of "new: customers each weekend and don't have to deliver quality OR service. The waitstaff appeared to have never waited on tables before that afternoon. They complained to US about how short-staffed they were, and attitude for not putting in our order. The speed of the kitchen is NOT the fault of the wait staff and we still tipped our waitress (not her fault), but for the manager to be hiding out inside and when I even spoke to him and never showed his face again? C'mon, amateur hour. At least stop by tables, comp. drinks or an appetizer, apologize for the slow service, but the absolute cowardice was laughable. We had to laugh: we're healthy, working, and able to enjoy each other's company. We began performing our John Taffer impersonations ("Bar Rescue"). He would've "Shut it down" but they'll be able to limp along until ski season begins. Best wishes to them that they stay in business. read more

Had an early dinner. All were disappointed in our choices 2 burgers 1 flat iron steak. burger bun was terrible everything was made with a rediculious amount of salt . Service wasn't too goo either and was not crowded. Waiter is probably new, friendly staff . Beautiful atmosphere read more

We had a delicious meal, portions were good size. Beer was cold, service was very good, and we had a choice of sitting on the patio or upstairs with a view of the mountain. We dined with friends and after dinner we chatted for a long time, and no one bothered us. We picked a night with no music so we could enjoy our company. Overall a very nice night out. Prices are not as high as the review states for this time of year. The sandwiches and burgers were around $16 , the steak was the highest at $35. I would rate it 4.5 stars if I could. Do check the menu though since the combinations are not traditional, although delicious. read more

We came today for opening day mountaining biking. Came in to have lunch. Did not get service until I went up to the bar and asked to order, 10mins went by. Then, we order and no drink order was taken. After 45 minutes from the time of ordering the food finally showed up. When I asked the owner to check on our salad and 1 cheese burger order. $16! We are not in Utah. "Your order went in behind a big party table, it will be another 10 minutes." Prior. When the food finally arrived. My soda was knocked over and then the owner who not only has customer services skills but no waitor skills either hit my son in the head with the plate. Then ran away to leave for the nice bartender to clean up and he never returned or discounted or checked on us! Who does that? We will NEVER COME BACK AGAIN! 3 teenage boys with me, if they spent the money they spent on the decor inside for the Trail maintenance people would be flocking to come here but this event was DEAD! Maybe 30 bikers all day. Super disappointing! I also witnessed the chair life attendant damaged bikes while throwing $1,000s bike on the chair life rack! Lift kept stopping numerous times leaving riders hanging for extended periods of time. THE FIRST AID EMERGENCY TEAM WERE THE ONLY KIND PEOPLE ON THIS MOUTAIN TODAY THANK GOODNESS. read more

We had brunch today at Fire at the Ridge. Very nice ambiance, family friendly as well. Eggs Benedict was great and my son and hubby liked their French toast. Fun skiing and brunch. Great family Sunday! read more

A interesting location at the base of Powder Hill. We ate in the second floor balcony overlooking the ski runs. The food was okay, not memorable after you left the place. Everything seemed to be fresh but the cod was over cooked, the Ceaser Salad was nothing to write home about and overall, just okay. The best part of the meal was desert, fruit crisp. They need to speak to their wait staff to be more attentive and personable. Service was fair. Live music was very good and the bar, nice but a bit cramped. For the money, considering the food and service, a bit on the high side. They can and should do better. read more

Tried this restaurant based on a friend who read a review, blah blah blah "Hell's Kitchen " . Odd place to have a restaurant, ski resort that's closed for the year. Nice looking restaurant inside, formal dining on Friday night was completely empty, but the tavern side had about 30 people. Here is the thing, the menu is way to upscale for these parts and the limited menu in the restaurant is just that, trying way to hard. It scared us into the tavern, where the menu is a bit more relaxed, but just as limited. The hostess right away asked us if we wanted to sit in the tavern, no wonder the restaurant was empty. I had the poutine appetizer, can you say super heavy on the salt !!!!! Needed two cokes to quench my thirst ! Did not finish. I had the sirloin steak with parm fries , wife had seafood stew. By time we ordered our main dishes , half the place cleared out , our appetizer took 10 minutes, dinner took 30 minutes more for a very slow Friday night . Steak was great , cooked perfect, fries were very salty again and after poutine, had no desire to finish them. The wife's stew came out , she is tiny , 120 lbs, and for her to look at the plate and say wow that's small is saying something. I kid you not , 2 mussels, two clams , four small scallops the size of a nickel, and a medium potato cut in five pieces. Me, I'm 6'3 230, wife would not say anything but I asked the waiter when he came back to ask us about our meal, I said " if I ordered this , what would you tell me about this dish?" He said that it was good, but I told him that had he served me , a man my size a dish like this I would have laughed and sent it back to be beefed up. No way should that dish be that small for the price they are charging. Literally is like those commercials you see where someone gets the micro portion meal. Wife said it was super salty as well, if the chef from Hell's Kitchen was cooking, I can see why he took second. Not a fan, first time and last time there , I will not recommend. read more

Ok so this is the 2nd time I've been to the restaurant and while I thought the first time was pricey, I liked it enough to go back for another try. The food was good. We started with a cheese plate and there were 4 of us sitting at the table. This cheese plate was $15 and they literally brought out 2 small pieces of bread to eat the cheese with. The server brought 2 more small pieces out because he even knew that was clearly not enough for the 4 people at the table. We were enjoying our app and asked for more bread or even crackers to eat the amount of cheese we had left on the plate ...the server came back and said management wanted to Charge us for the bread. Really? You are a fine dining establishment and you cant give complimentary bread? Granted it was only $2 but it was the principle. It was a Sunday night with not many patrons. Do they really want to piss off the very few costumers they do have? It felt stingy and made us wonder if money is so tight that they may be closing their doors soon...? Overall that put a bad taste in our mouths.. read more

First, let me say, I used to go to Powder Ridge all the time as a kid, and then took my own kids when they were small.. so it's cool that they're up and running but they have fallen short, and now even shorter. So things started out ok..my first visit was over the summer and our server was also the bartender, there were maybe 3 tables tops, and the service was very very slow. The waitress/bartender was not friendly at all the first 75% of our time there. Then the next time I went it was the beginning of ski season; had lunch in the bar..a party of like 15 came in for lunch (by-the-way it was during the week and a snowstorm outside so the place was not busy)..all the wait staff spoke very badly about this large group..it was super uncomfortable and very noticeable. The head bartender (older woman with light strawberry hair) arrived and her demeanor was super cold, no smile, no greeting, she looked very agitated and kept pacing around with her huge winter coat on. I asked if they could turn on some music, and they acted like "really? you want music too?" Well, now I was uncomfortable and definitely felt unwelcome. Then I gave it one more shot...OMG...a woman fell down in her ski boots and nobody (not one person) asked her if she was ok. That same bartender looked at her with disgust and didn't even say anything..super creepy. We asked about Happy Hour (seeing that they have a sign on the wall), and that head bartender looked at us like we just gave her the biggest insult..she paused to answer, and said "we no longer offer Happy Hour food".. really? that's nice..we asked if Happy Hour was a thing, as it was posted on the wall..there was no other Happy Hour drink menu anywhere, so of course people are going to ask because they have no clue. Then she said "it's $1 off drafts and house wines"... okay, great! I said then does this draft beer and wine get the happy hour rate.. she said, "well no because I didn't know you wanted the Happy Hour beer or wine"... I said, "you didn't tell us Happy Hour was even a thing, we didn't know until we happened to see the sign behind us".. She said she would discount our next order...but of course (just like the people next to us) our bill reflected the full price... we were so tired by this point that we just deducted it from her tip. As far as the food, it's hit or miss.. the clam chowder has potential, but it all salt! It's really too bad...they need to learn how to treat and talk to people and stop dissing customers who patronize your establishment... All this stuff comes from the top. Super bummed, we so badly wanted to make this our go-to restaurant. read more

We had gone apple and pumpkin picking at Lyman's and were trying to find somewhere to eat lunch near by (bc it was like a zoo at the Apple barrel). This popped up with only two reviews but we decided to try it. It is in the powder ridge ski resort so when we pulled up we were a little confused bc it everything looked at bit deserted and the restaurant is not well marked. We were only second group when we talked in so were even more skeptical. But the menu looked amazing and unique and our food was incredible. I had a short rib sandwich on a ciabatta roll with whipped horseradish sauce and polenta tater toys and my husband had a bratwurst sandwich with a beer cheese sauce. read more

My wife and I went for the first time on April 1st. Although the restaurant is a bit out of the way, it was well worth the visit! There is a very nice wine list and cocktail menu. Apps included Butternut Squash/Apple Bisque and the Hudson Valley Salad. Both were very well seasoned and had outstanding flavor! Entrees were Miso Glazed Monkfish and the Pork Chop. Very nice presentation and the flavors again, were fantastic. This restaurant is a gem and I encourage everyone to try it for themselves. read more

A friend and I met up for drinks and dinner in the Tavern last week and all I can say is WOW!! We shared the lemon ricotta gnocchi and the steamed mussels in the IPA broth with grilled bread for our appetizers. The gnocchi were little pillows of heaven and the mussels were so good that we wanted to order more, however we wanted to try too many other things on the menu! The bartender was so kind to bring more of the grilled bread for soaking up the delicious sauce without us even having to ask! We then shared the JUMBO sea scallops with a vanilla butter sauce and an amazing butternut squash and and roasted apple risotto garnished with beautiful edible flowers! The scallops were cooked to perfection! My friend actually didn't want to order the scallops because she is picky about they way they are cooked and she said they were the best scallops she has ever had! We also had a side of brussel sprouts with bacon and a side of crispy duck fat fingerling potatoes that were amazing! And last but not least, the desserts! OMG! We had the creme brûlée 4 ways and the chocolate hazelnut terrine. They were both plated beautifully and so decadent! We practically licked the plates! The service was very attentive, yet not intrusive. I will be back, for sure! Next time, I would like to experience the main restaurant for a romantic dinner with my husband! ;) read more

See all

Excellent chef and staff! Outstanding menu choices. Truly a hidden gem. Restaurant has a nice updated feel despite the rustic exterior.

Great place! We celebrated Mothers Day here. Good selection of buffet foods. Great service! I will go back

I made the mistake of making "reservations" which, contrary to what their website states, they apparently don't do reservations. There was no one to seat us. We ended up having to ask the bartender about our reservation, and he looked at me like I was speaking a foreign language. He stated they were "backed up" and he would go get someone, which never happened. We left. What's sad is there were numerous tables. I will never step foot in Fire on the Ridge again and will make it a point to let everyone knows how disorganized and non-customer friendly they acted. read more

went expecting to be wowed with all the hype of the chef they hired. we sat at the bar fire at the ridge tavern. first i noticed is they need a beer list had to listen to bartender quickly run through the taps didn't bother asking about the cans they sell looked like a good variety but like i said no list. so on to the food my wife ordered a burger $16 i ordered a french onion soup $9 and a cod fish sandwich $14 the food came out fast before i even got my soup . so i said i guess we can cancel my soup . they offered to go get it for me . i didn't want it during or after my main meal. my wife said her burger and fries were good but not a huge burger for the price. my fries were good but the fish sandwich was perfectly square not a good sign . to me it was like a wendy's fish sandwich not bad for fast food .but not good for a tavern . give me a real fillet on a bun . my plate was removed when i finished my beer was empty but was not asked if i wanted a refill. when my wife finished her burger her drink was now empty as well . bar tender took her plate asked if we had room for desert . we replied no thanks . she walked away went right to the register and printed are bill again without asking if we wanted another round. glad we used a groupon to try the place so wasn't to bad of a waste but i will not be going back. one last thing if you go hoping for the mountain ambiance dont bother you wont see it from the main restaurant and view from bar is obstructed. read more

Hidden gem! Great ambiance, food and drinks! I had a salmon special and it was delicious! We will definitely be back for another date night.

We had an amazing Valentine's dinner at Fire at the Ridge. The food was top notch and the staff was very attentive. We had a minor issue with a food item and they went above and beyond to fix it. They also asked about food allergies and made appropriate menu suggestions. We started in the Tavern for cocktails and were impressed with the view of the ski mountain and the speciality cocktail list. We live nearby and this will be our new "go to"! It is a little off the beaten path but don't that stop you from trying it out. Prices in the tavern are average. The restaurant is a little pricy but appropriate for the level of service and food quality. read more

A beautiful restaurant with spectacular views. The staff was welcoming and very attentive. The food was excellent. Each dish was flavorful and delicious. I am looking forward to going back. read more

We loved our experience at Fire on the Ridge! The atmosphere is amazing. Very romantic in the dining area and a fun vibe in the bar area. The beer selection is really nice with an extensive craft beer selection. The food was to die for. Chef Kevin Cottle is from Hells Kitchen and having him cook for you is worth coming in. The desserts were unbelievable. Very intricate and delicious. We will definitely be back. read more

Literally the best meal I've ever had. The service is exceptional, everyone is so friendly and warm, and it makes for a truly great dining experience. We went here for our five year anniversary and I can honestly say we could not have made a better choice in venue! The wings were good (nice and spicy!) And we even loved the bread and butter! We ordered a hangar steak at the chef's recommendation. It is the best steak I have ever had! The potato risotto and asparagus with Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top everything was to die for. And their draft beer selection is great too! 10/10 would come here again. And again. And again! read more

Since it was my first time there, had a hard time finding the place is no signs near the parking lot telling you if you're in the correct area. Went to the bar option which is called "Tavern on the ridge" where the menu more reasonably priced. Still found some overpriced things on it though. $10 for a small basic Caesar salad?? Seven of us went. The clam chowder by far was the winner! I would stay away from the chicken pot pie. Shredded chicken with canned vegetables and a puff pastry cracker on top left me a bit sad and underwhelmed. All the staff was friendly including the owner/maître d'? Who came over to us often. Our server was friendly but very inexperienced. She wanted to answer questions about the menu but had a hard time doing so and didn't go to find the answer either. Kind of made up excuses. She also forgot many of our drinks and didn't know who ordered what. I would definitely go again and just stay away from the pot pie. Probably sit at the bar for better service. read more

The restaurant is terrible, awful; food was spoiled, over-salted and burnt. From the beginning...I ordered a Manhattan but the bar didn't have a common spirit, Seagrams VO so I ordered Crown Royal instead, a higher quality whiskey, but the drink wasn't made correctly. My husband's coca-cola was fine and the little corn breads were my favorite and in my opinion, the best food of the night. I had the peach salad for an appetizer. The peach was crudely cut in half, hard, tasteless and burnt. It sat on a bed of greens with a teeny tiny dollop of ricotta on the right and dark spoiled ham on the left. I didn't detect any balsamic mist. My husband had the lobster gnocchi and said it was good. I could smell my scallops before they arrived. They were spoiled and over-salted, probably an attempt to cover up the stench. Risotto was over-salted as well. Ate a few bites and was done. My husband did the same with his meal. His pork chop was overdone even though he ordered it medium. It was dry and soaked in a teriyaki salt bath that seeped into the cornbread along side a soured radish coleslaw. We both ordered Creme Brulee to remove the tastes of dinner. They were served in a cavernous dish instead of a traditional ramekin that only emphasized the incredibly small portion. The sugar was burnt across the top and black dots at the bottom were suspect. The strawberry was delicious. Our waiter was very nice. We told him at the end how bad the food was as we know better to insult the ego of a famous chef during our meal. The dining room was the size of a hall and we were the only people in the restaurant until the end when 3 more people were seated. The menu is limited, overpriced and the food was inedible. Burgers from Wendy's would have been better. Our experience as a whole will go down as our worst dining experience ever. read more

I'm sorry to have to write a review of a restaurant that never even had a chance to impress. We had a 7:30 reservation for two. We arrived on time and was greeted by a very pleasant hostess. She asked us where we preferred to sit so we chose the second floor. The bar was busy and the first floor had a few parties but overall the restaurant wasnt. that busy. We were seated by a window overlooking the slopes and given menus to peruse. Five minutes later we were given ice water by a bus girl. My husband and I looked around for a waiter but unfortunately the two who were taking care of the 8 other diners on the floor (all parties of two) were nowhere to be found. We waited over 20 minutes without anyone coming to our table. At that point it was 7:55 and we decided to leave. We walked out the doors past the hostess station. The hostess was not at her station for us to let her know why we were leaving. We dine out frequently and have never been ignored in a restaurant. We were actually shocked by this. One star for the hostess who apparently saw us and did her job. Side note: ended up at a favorite spot in Durham for a wonderful dinner. Sorry but you guys blew it. Will not return. read more
