Restaurants near White Mills Station

This is second visit to the Ridge, we did the early bird special this time. The food was amazing, portion sizes large and service was excellent, same as first visit. I have recommended it to friends. There were five of us and all agree, we will definitely be returning!

The staff was extremely accommodating, helpful, friendly and personable from the time I first made our reservation to the time we left after our meal. Everything we ate was outstanding and clearly prepared with such fine attention to detail; the food was flavorful without being overpowering (get the meatballs!!!), and the presentations were beautiful, right down to the dessert spoons they brought out creatively arranged on a platter! Our waitress, Liz, was probably the best server we’ve ever encountered in a restaurant. She was so pleasant, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic, all while being funny and down-to-earth. We were seated near the kitchen which wasn’t ideal, and at one point we were very aware of the music having too much of a “club vibe,” which wasn’t to our taste, but neither of these “negatives” ruined our dining experience by any means. In fact, we made another reservation on our way out! While on the pricier side, The Refinery does live up to the hype!

Really enjoyed dinner here. There was a small delay in service when we first sat down, but they recovered nicely! The only other issue was the first loaf of bread we got (trivial, I know!). It was very doughy and spongy on the inside, but slightly burnt on the outside. Pretty minor things, but they're the only reason not to give this place 5's across the board.

As always the Eldred Preserve did not disappoint. The duck was the better than ever and the Frenched chicken was great. The staff goes over and beyond to make sure everything is perfect. The only downside is some of the patrons not knowing how to dress which is unfortunate because the restaurant is more upscale. Jeans, baseball caps, gym shorts…… not the place for it.

Food drinks and atmosphere all were 5 stars’ we’ll be back
