The main guy Franco, was an excellent host and you can tell just by sitting there lots of regulars know him by name and he's extremely well-versed in options to suggest.

I ordered Marsala with pasta. The veal was cooked perfectly only to be ruined with an awful sauce that was loaded with cornstarch and too much uncooked garlic. It was gloopy and horrible. The server said he wouldn't blame me for sending it back. I guess the chef left and the owner was trying to limp along. Not good.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the staff is always friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming I started with the Clams Casino, which is one of my all-time favorite appetizers, and they were absolutely delicious. Next, I had the meatballs with burrata, and they were outstanding--tender, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the creamy burrata. For my entrée, I ordered the chicken parmigiana over linguine, and it was cooked to perfection. The chicken was crispy yet tender, the sauce was rich and flavorful, and the portion was generous. From the excellent food to the outstanding service, every visit to The Ridge is a great experience. I highly recommend it and will definitely be back!

The food was exceptional - I finally found a restaurant with an actual chef who knows what they are doing. We split the scallops with key lime, three to a plate and massive. He had the crab cakes: Maryland style; lump crab bound with just enough breadcrumb to hold together. Lemon beurre blanc was perfect. I had veal marsala: delicious and tender. The only demerit was the vegetables were undercooked, but not by much. Will go again when it's in-season to see what's changed (and when it's actually lake weather).

Warm, attentive service without hovering...exactly what you want for a special night. We started with the fried calamari and shrimp cocktails. Calamari was golden, tender, zero rubbery pieces, and the shrimp cocktail was huge, fresh, and perfectly chilled. Already a win. For mains, we went all out: Ribeye Steak cooked to a perfect medium-rare with a great sear, Rack of Lamb that was tender and seasoned beautifully, Lobster Crab & Seafood Fra Diavolo with just the right kick, and the Crab & Shrimp Spinach Fettuccine was creamy, packed with seafood, and didn't skimp on the crab. Every plate came out hot and every bite was spot-on. Portions are generous, vibe is cozy but still feels special enough for a 50th, and they even helped us make the birthday moment memorable. No rushed tables, no attitudejust great food and genuine hospitality. If you're in Simpson or driving through, Frank's Place is worth the stop. We'll be back with more friends in tow. Thanks for making her 50th so perfect!

There's just one catch: there are no sound absorbing materials and it becomes extremely loud. They should put foam beneath the tables and more fabric in the room.

I think that increasing sound absorbing materials would convert the place into a nice and tranquil venue to spend time in
