There's no set menu. That's the point.

Choose a direction to start. Every menu is written for your occasion, your guests and your budget. Sample ideas are available on request.

The chef

13

Years in the restaurant industry

Austin learned it in restaurants. Now he brings it home.

Thirteen years in the restaurant industry, the last two as a Kitchen Manager and Kitchen Supervisor: leading a team, running a working kitchen, and holding a standard of consistent, high-quality food from the first ticket to the last.

Ridge & Table Chef takes that standard out of the dining room and into yours.
