    This was my second time to Ledger and it was for a Mother’s Day brunch. I can’t say enough about what a perfect time I had with my mother. I appreciated that our waitstaff mentioned they discussed the open table notes and were prepared to accommodate our dietary needs. The food was so flavorful, fresh and generous portions. Our waitress was amazing as well!

    I reserved a dinner for two and was rewarded with an exceptional dinning experience for my wife's birthday! It all started with a greeting when we entered Ledger's Restaurant and culminated with fine cuisine consisting of grilled salmon. The meal was excellent and the service was exceptional. A great dining experience.

    Roxy was our server and she was FANTASTIC! Roxy is professional and so friendly. This was our family’s Easter dinner while visiting our daughter who is a SSU student and the Ledger’s food, excellent service and atmosphere made it a wonderful event for us.

    We were seated within 5 minutes of our 7p.m. reservation at a large table for the 7 of us. We were next to the kitchen which was very interesting and fun to watch. Our server Martina was outstanding with her knowledge of the menu and very attentive to each one of us. The food was delivered hot and at the same time with a team of servers who also showed their skill and interest in each diner by serving the food with a smile and care and without dropping the food and running off. Other nice touches were the team efforts to make sure there was always water on the table and a surprise sample of soup. This was because of the busy night and to assuage the wait for the entrees. Well done. We have been here a few times before and our granddaughter chose Ledger to celebrate her 19th birthday.

    Paul, Thank you so much for your kind review! I am so pleased to hear that you enjoyed every moment of your experience. Our team works hard and being able to read your high praise to them means a great deal. We look forward to your next visit with us and please send along our continued happy birthday wishes to your granddaughter! Warm regards, Annie
