Dining In Naples

Locally Influenced, Classically Inspired

News From Ridgway, July 14, 2016

Sip and Stay Awhile!

It’s summer and it’s quiet in Naples! Come hang out at Ridgway and enjoy 50% off of all drinks (excluding wine bottles), in our courtyard, in our dining rooms, or at the bar. We’re hoping you will agree that all our hours are happy, and not just the ones between 4 and 6.
If you happen to get a little hungry, conveniently enough we’ve got great food to satisfy your cravings while you enjoy the peaceful lifestyle that defines summer in our little town.

Wine Spectator – Award of Excellence
Ridgway is proud to have been awarded once again with Wine Spectator‘s Award of Excellence! We are thrilled to be recognized and equally thrilled to pass along the news to you!
Wine Spectator acknowledges the best of the best wine programs throughout the country and internationally each year, and we are proud to be in some very strong company – you can see and search the whole list of awardees here. As you know, Sukie does a terrific job of putting together our wines by the glass list, and our master list is full of interesting and exceptional wines. The next time you’re in, feel free to peruse it – or step next door to Tony’s Off Third and browse our shelves. All the wines poured in Ridgway are also available in Tony’s.
Change is a Good Thing!
We are fully underway with planning what we hope will be a very exciting change to the internal look and feel of Ridgway. We don’t want to give away too much detail but we can say it will involve actually closing the restaurant for a couple days in early September – and if you know Tony, you know that he only lets the restaurant close down for very special reasons! Stay tuned for more news. For now, here’s a picture to get your imagination flowing as to what we might have planned!
Private Parties at Ridgway
 
Sukie already has an impressive number of bookings for private parties in the fall and early winter – rehearsal dinners, small wedding receptions, family gatherings and corporate dinners. It always amazes her when frequent customers call to book a special event and she reviews the different venues available for their luncheon or dinner and the customer responds, “I didn’t know you had a private room,” or “I wasn’t aware that your garden could be booked exclusively for a dinner function.” So, to review the options:
  • The private dining room, also referred to as the wine room, can seat up to 45 people and is the perfect spot for a business lunch or intimate dinner.
  • The side terrace, which is climate controlled but open air when weather permits, can accommodate groups of 35 to 80 people.
  • Our garden is able to host groups of 20 to 65 (exclusive use of the garden is dependent on the size of the party).
Venues for cocktail receptions include the garden, as well as the Courtyard in front of Tony’s Off Third, which has its own bar. Sample menus for luncheons and dinners are available on our website under “Private Parties.” You can also have a custom menu or your guests may order off of our regular dinner menu.
Sukie will assist you with planning your function from start to finish. You can reach her at 239-262-5500 or sukieh@ridgwaybarandgrill.com. And there’s no such thing as booking too far in advance – she already has a wedding booked for June 2017!
