Guest Reviews

Place was absolutely amazing!! My wife and I enjoyed every second. Very cozy lounge areas. Also being an avid hunter I eat a lot of venison. Their venison was cooked to perfection and had amazing flavor. We have planned to come back and stay a few nights. Could I a suggest getting a N/A beer on the list.

My husband and I had an amazing time at Gideon Ridge. The Executive chef accommodated my very restricted diet and created the most delicious meal of scallops and vegetables that I have ever had in my entire life. The ambience, excellent service, and exceptional food make this a unique and exquisite experience.

Had a wonderful dinner this evening. After a few apps and the farmers salad along with the Brussel sprouts we finished with the duck and halibut. Everything was absolutely perfect and the service was top shelf. Obviously management has taken the time to properly train the staff because they were very knowledgeable and so helpful. Shout out to Jeremy, great job.

We went to the restaurant and it is the best place to celebrate an anniversary! We were sat at the chef's table, GRI has incredible views on the patio. This is a place to visit if you want to experience high-quality and fresh flavors. There are plenty of diverse and delicious menu items available. Can't wait to go back!
