The menu will change week to week or day to day depending on climate and seasonal growth length. From ramps and morels to soft shell crab and local beef, we strive to provide the absolute freshest in ingredients.

Outstanding food and service in a world class setting with spectacular views. Best upscale restaurant we've been to in the high country, and we've been to a lot over the past 20 years!

We dine at the Gideon Ridge every time we’re at our vacation cabin in Boone. Always arrive early for a drink and to enjoy the amazing view. Always 5-star food and service. Our waiter, Jeremiah, was just wonderful to us and all the folks dining near us he served.
