    Tapas night, not great overall. Food was ok, drinks were poor, service was ok - we were forgotten for long stretches and had to remind servers about forgotten items. Would go back again but just to order off the regular menu.

    The food was fantastic. All 7 in our party agreed and was very satisfied with their meals. The service was excellent. Mary went out of her way to accommodate us. She even sang happy birthday to my son. The only negative was the number of children running and screaming around the dining room. It was almost like a Chucky Cheese atmosphere at one point. We would have appreciated a much quieter setting for my son's birthday dinner.

    Service was not great and it seemed like it was a bother to do their job. Food definitely went down hill from previous visits.

    Great experience with the limited staff available. There was no hostess so took me a little while to find a server/bartender who could help with the reservation. But Bridgette was great, quick and did an amazing job serving us and running around. The clam chowder was very good and perfect after a day on the hill. My son had the butter pasts and it was made perfectly. I had the pear and apple salad and it hit the spot. I would def order again. Outside of limited staff, it is a great spot for food and drinks after hours on the hill.

    The food and service was great our waitress was excellent the apps and entrée’s were excellent there was 8 of us all the meals were good! Only thing that was troublesome is the kids running around in there and couldn’t hear yourselves talk and there parents just sat there and allowed it but overall was a good experience would return maybe not in the winter!!

    If you approach eating at 'Fire in the Ridge' with the expectation that you'll be in a hub of skiing activity with loud children running everywhere because their parents are ignoring them, then you won't be disappointed. Our service was OK - we had a party of 4, and two people's food came out together, and then a few minutes later one more came out, and then close to 10 minutes later someone came over to apologize and a few minutes after that, the 4th meal came out. They did offer to comp a round of drinks, which was nice. In terms of cost - we paid the same amount of money we would have paid to go to a nicer restaurant, and given the atmosphere (noise, chaos) I would have expected this place to be a lot cheaper. The food was pretty good overall, but nothing was special.
