Fire at the Ridge is hands down my favorite place to eat. The food quality and the setting are perfect for an intimate dinner with friends or business associates. The fire pit seating particularly is a great way to spend an evening with friends catching up and enjoying a good meal. The service can get overwhelmed on busy nights translating to delays in ordering and food and drink delivery occasionally, but the staff is always friendly and helpful and the food and drinks are always more than worth the wait!

So we were able to book a reservation for 7:30 and got there to learn that the kitchen closed at 7:00. It was very disappointing and we had to find another place to eat. If you cannot accommodate the reservation then don’t allow it to be booked. It’s pretty simple. Very disappointed!!

The gentleman who helped my party light our fire pit was super nice and very helpful. He even threw our food trays away. Other than that, the service was horrible. This was our first coming here, so we were a bit lost and every staff person seemed to not know anything. The lady I checked in with gave me my receipt and didn’t explain where to go next, no direction at all.

Very disappointing experience. Four different people who worked on the property did not know basic information about how to get service to the reserved fire pits, where to buy lift tickets, among other things. We made a reservation for a fire pit and there was no wood to burn, no service and the few hours we were there, not one server came by our fire pit. The location of the fire pits are not ideal, and our particular fire pit was surrounded by 4 inches of mud. We had to order all food and drinks by walking to the bar and bringing everything in to go bags down to our fire pit... it was a waste of time and money.

This was such a great atmosphere. They were attentive and took care of the fire. Food was yummy. 4 graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate pieces was a bit excessively priced at $15, but was still fun.
