   Very busy evening. Our server was very busy with large tables. She was good but definitely needed one more server for the number of large tables.

   Ordered the $40 ribeye and it came out like it was made in a school cafeteria. About 1/4 inch thick, potatoes were unseasoned, mushroom sauce was like it was straight from a can.

   The restaurant is a attached to a Hotel. I had French toast and bacon; which was good. My husband had the gumbo which he enjoyed and the shrimp and grits that he did not enjoy as much. My only real complaint is that my glass was dirty. I tried to wipe it off but whatever was on the glass was sticky, the silverware was dirty, the black cloth napkin had lint and hair on it. I ended up asking for plastic utensils, paper napkins and a to-go cup.

   Great food. Restaurant week menu had great options and was a good deal. Pretty noisy even for a night that it was not packed. Food took a while, then dessert came when we were still eating our entrees. Parking was a challenge. It was not clear what was public and what was not.

    Maybe it was the dreary weather but it our latest visit to the Ridley something was off. Service was just fine but the food wasn’t near as good this time as our last visit. We will need to go back again and try to figure it out. Valet parking is inexpensive ($5) to park which is great, the service was really good but something was off.
