Naples Illustrated Dining Awards – Nominations Open!

Friends, a shameless request for your support! Nominations are open for the third annual

Naples Illustrated Dining Awards, and Ridgway Bar & Grill would love to have your vote! As Naples Illustrated seeks to showcase “the Paradise Coast’s best eateries,” please consider naming us in the following categories (or whatever strikes your fancy):

Best Burger

Best Key Lime Pie

Best Dessert

Best Wine List

Best Dog-Friendly Dining

Best Special-Occasion Dining

Best for Romance

Best Brunch

Best Restaurant

We’d also love to see Tony’s Off Third in the running for Best Key Lime Pie and Best Dessert, though we may be a little biased.

The nomination phase is only open until August 24, to be followed by votes for the final winners in each category. If you love Ridgway and Tony’s, we’d sure appreciate you taking a quick moment to write us in here.

Labor Day Week – Pardon our Dust

Those of you who know Tony and Sukie know that they only close the restaurant for the most deserving circumstances. Just a quick heads up that from the morning of September 6 through the afternoon of September 8, we will be closed for a quick refresh. We regret any inconvenience this may cause but hope you understand that every once in a while things need a minor facelift, and our intentions are only to be able to continue to serve you for many, many years to come! During this brief closure, the Courtyard Bar will remain open for drink service only, and the full restaurant will reopen for dining on September 8 for dinner service. Thank you for your patience!

Expanded Beer List

In our quest to continue our evolution as a business and destination, we are excited to announce a slight expansion to our beer service, starting this Friday, August 19. Outside at our Courtyard Bar, and also available for service inside the restaurant, we are installing two new taps. Our new selection on tap will include: Stella Artois, Corona Light, SweetWater 420 – an extra pale ale from Georgia, Lagunitas IPA from California, and Pennsylvania favorite Victory HopDevil IPA.

Our selection by the bottle will continue to meet a variety of tastes, from the traditional to the craft brew:

Bud

Bud Light

Michelob Ultra

Miller Lite

Blue Moon Belgian White

Yuengling

Fat Tire

Shipyard Blue Fin Stout

Cigar City Jai Alai IPA

Cigar City Florida Cracker

Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA

Goose Island Sofie Ale

Corona Extra

Leffe Braun

Stella Artois

Beck’s Blue

We look forward to changing up our selection slightly throughout the year and will keep you posted as we add new brews! Cheers!

Foodie Camp

Naples Originals, of which Ridgway Bar and Grill is a founding member, is proud to announce another round of their very popular and fun Foodie Camp for this October. Chef Tony Ridgway is excited to be participating this year. Sign-ups are open now and are expected to sell out quickly so don’t hesitate to reserve your spot! Tony’s class will be held at Ridgway on Wednesday, October 20, at 2pm, and will feature bakery as well as kitchen techniques sure to make it into your regular culinary rotation. Tony’s teaching ability is well-known and we guarantee an educational, fun, and delicious afternoon!

Continued Summer Specials

Summer specials are still available at Ridgway into October! Don’t miss our regular weekly specials, including our $2 cookies on Mondays at Tony’s Off Third, Taco Tuesday, Burger and a Beer Wednesday, Crispy Fish, Rib Dinner Special, and more. Every night you can also take advantage of our $35 3-course prix fixe, which delivers a truly exceptional value for some of our most popular appetizers, entrees, and desserts. And of course don’t miss our all-day happy hour – 50% off of all drinks (excluding our wines by the bottle). You won’t find a better deal in town!

We know the importance of both quality and value in where you decide to dine out – as a small business, we’re constantly aware of the impact of the dollars. We appreciate you choosing to spend time with us at Ridgway and Tony’s!
