I think they were either terribly understaffed or just didn’t prioritize time. We had reservations and showed up on time only to be told they couldn’t seat us just yet and to have a drink at the bar while we wait. Not a problem even though I thought it odd that there were only 6 tables occupied and many tables empty. We ended up waiting 30 minutes at the bar before our table was ready. Another 5-10 for a waitress to bring waters/bread & menus. We ordered an appetizer (sweet potato bites which were delicious) but after that took another 15 or so minutes, we figured that it would most likely be another hour before we would even see an entree so we decided to change plans from there. Everything was delicious and servers were very nice but was just a little slow in my opinion.

Enjoyed lunch sitting outside on a warm November afternoon. No one else around when we arrived. Server was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Everything prepared well and arrived quickly. Mahi-Mahi sandwich was cooked perfectly, flaky but not dried out. Bun was too thick for my liking, so I didn’t eat most of that. Fries were awesome. Had a hot dog from here while on the beach another day. Not worth the money, but tasted good. Nachos looked very good (heard they were amazing). Menu isn’t huge, but has a great variety for all tastes. Could use a few more beers on tap. Can’t beat the view here, that’s for sure!

First time going Marisa and Danny were both very friendly and accommodating to me and my wife. Both of them were great conversationalist. The vibe was great. We had Kyra working with us with our food and drinks and she was absolutely phenomenal. Kyra, Marisa, and Danny definitely made the experience worthwhile. Even when it started raining Kyra was so attentive and accommodating, she made amazing recommendations for the food as well. Would definitely recommend and if you go make sure to speak with Danny or Marisa, why not both? Definitely request for Kyra if you can she’s awesome! To be honest the whole staff was awesome! Nothing but good things to say about the staffing team!

My fiancé and I had our proposal celebration dinner here and our server Michael was phenomenal! He went the extra mile to have breakfast sent to our hotel room the next morning. He outdid himself with customer service and kindness. He made it an unforgettable experience!

The restaurant has a perfect view of the beach and air conditioned so it is much better to eat at the restaurant than eat at the bench or the pool in my opinion. The food is much better also eating in the restaurant as it doesn’t need to travel too far. The kids grill cheese is the best as it is small enough for a kid to hold. Service is also much better than at the bench.

I had the worst experience of my life here. The elitist and incompetent staff at The Ritz and Ridley’s Porch were extremely rude. I called and made a reservation for my family of 11 on our last night in Lido key. When I called to make a reservation, I specifically asked if you needed to be a guest or member to eat there. She said no so I proceeded to make a reservation. Come the day of, she called to confirm and we walked over there only to be TURNED AWAY because you “have to be a member” or “guest.” Even though they specifically said it was not an issue. Not to mention the man at the gate and the manager of the restaurant were EXTREMELY rude. I hope no one supports these elitist scumbags.
