Ribaut Social Club is a restaurant and social space for Beaufort locals and visitors to mingle over cocktails and impeccable regional cuisine.
Our aim is to capture the incorrigible spirit and convivial atmosphere of the original Ribaut Club, established at the Anchorage in 1891. In its heyday, the Club hosted performances, grand parties, dances and even gambling—a raucous getaway from buttoned-up social strictures of the time. Today, guests can cocktails and dinner with unrivaled water views or a sophisticated brunch surrounded by 300 years of Beaufort history.

    The restaurant is in a stunning setting of one of the very old buildings in the city and across from the water. The service and food were exceptional. We were a party of four and seated next to a front window. Most highly recommended establishment!

    The setting is charming - like being in an old mansion home and eating in the dining room. The food and service were wonderful. It's not a large menu, but we all found something delicious. The tables are an ok distance apart. The evening we were there, other diners were quiet, and the ambience was nice, more of an intimate setting so that you wouldn't expect a large rowdy group! I think in warmer weather, drinks and or dinner can be on the front porch and upper porch, which overlooks the river with sailboats randomly anchored - so Beaufort!

    The place is lovely. Sarah our server did an exceptional job . The food was good. I had the filet mignon Oscar. I had requested it medium rare to the rare side and it was definitely medium. That was a disappointment. We ordered a bottle of wine that was very good.

    A very enjoyable evening. The food was prepared to perfection and served promptly and efficiently. Our hostess was very personable and invited our guests to the upper veranda to view a spectacular sunset.

    Sarah was our server, ensuring our entire evening was exceptional. This included the table we sat at (outdoors until it simply got too cold), to the way our food was prepared (to perfection), and a special dessert for me since I was allergic to the one on the menu. The mansion is magnificent; we went to the third floor to watch the fireworks over the bay! Can't wait for our next visit.
