Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Fire at the Ridge offers a cozy atmosphere with "great food" and an appealing igloo dining experience. While the ambience delights, service inconsistencies have been noted, especially during busy events. Guests appreciated the "friendly waitstaff" and live music. Ideal for a casual dining experience, particularly for those enjoying nearby activities.

    From the moment we entered the restaurant until the moment we left, we were treated with the most care and consideration. A fresh long stem rose for me. Seated by the fireplace it seemed like a very special evening was in store.. The menu was well planned and balanced just the right amount of food and the presentation was impeccable. Servers were professional and friendly, and our rep part with all of them was just right. The fillet was amazing and cooked to perfection and the shrimp and clams casino were also very good Dessert was an amazing heart-shaped, layered chocolate vanilla concoction ….out of this world. Definitely will come back and try other evenings, including the live music, which was just a nice addition to the evening.

    We went for Valentine's Day and had a very nice meal. Was presented with a rose. Some service issues, took a while to get drinks. Had to switch out my soup because of allergies, and that took a while. Otherwise, food was delicious. Totally enjoyed the atmosphere, would go again.

    Very good food. Friend said her clam chowder had lot of clams and very tasty. Steak taco app was delish. Three of us had short rib grilled cheese and it was stuffed with tender, tasty meat. Good prices, too, in my opinion.

    Service was slow, they appeared to be struggling due to being jam packed. Waited about 45 minutes for drinks, ice was out at the bar??? Chicken pot pie was very bland, coleslaw was terrible with the fish and chips. We were sat right by the stage so talking amongst our table was hard. Called us in the morning to let us know they did not have an igloo, and when we stated that was ok we would it inside caller just hung up, no thank you for confirming or anything just click. We chose this cause we are getting married here over the summer, now we are a little concerned with how our evening went with our party of 8.

    Booked an igloo which was a lot of fun. Wish the zipper door worked. The two heaters were sufficient but a functional door would have made it better! Out server was great. The food arrived hot and stayed hot to finish with no problem. We had the short ribs and the burger. The food here is pretty amazing in quantity and quality. It’s definitely worth checking out even if you’re not on the mountain for winter sports.

    We arrived at 6:45 for a 7 pm reservation. We didn’t get seated until almost 730PM. No one came to our table for another 30 minutes. We waited as long as we could but had to leave to get back to the babysitter (that we paid). Overall a huge disappointment because the ambience was great and we were seated in a lovely spot.

    The food and ambiance were great, but our reservations was at 6:30. We didn't get our dinner until almost 8:30, and that was because we complained. People sitting after us got their dinners while we just sat there. What added insult to injury was our waitress asking if we wanted to see the dessert menu before we got our dinners! She should have been more attentive to the long wait.
