I came here during a family graduation. This is at a newer hotel property. What didn't make sense is the side of the building they decided have it's view overlooking Harrisonburg. Aside from that, the food was quite good. It's more small plates and tapas. Anything with bread and butter here is delicious. Each larger plate I tried was equally unique and tasty. The kitchen knows what they're doing. Farm to table. I would revisit. I recommend having a reservation. read more

We stayed in Harrisonburg and found this place on Yelp. It was excellent and had a really nice vibe to it in the evening. Food was excellent. Staff was friendly. read more

The Ridge Room, the perfect rooftop spot for sunset views and lowkey vibes. With a unique menu, tasty drinks, and an intimate setting, it's the ideal place to unwind, laugh, and reflect on a full day of fun with your crew. read more

Went with a group of friends. You'd think a rooftop restaurant would provide great views - of the Walmart and Lowes parking lots.... You have to look quite a bit in the distance to get a view of the mountains. The sun was shining right in the face of half our group. The food was decent - tapas (good size), but they don't cook it there, comes from somewhere else and they basically are reheating it. The sweet and spicy cauliflower was much to salty. But the brussel sprouts got good reviews. Friendly service and a nice vibe. read more

We had a reservation so we were sat immediately. Our server was great and attentive! The cheese board had all kinds of tasty bites on it. The drinks were amazing! Every single entree was phenomenal!!! The view was great. This is a good spot for a date night! read more

I had a deeply disappointing and discriminatory experience on August 25, 2025. After checking in at 4PM into the Hyatt, I went to the Ridge Room rooftop restaurant around 6:30PM. What followed made me feel unwelcome and targeted. First, when I walked in, I received strange looks. I sat at the bar and waited, but no one acknowledged me until I waved at the bartender to see if I could sit outside. She pointed me to the hostess, who then directed me to a table but didn't offer a menu. Once seated, I waited while two staff members repeatedly walked past me without eye contact, acknowledgment, or service. After more than 15 minutes, I had to go inside and grab a menu myself from the unattended hostess stand. Even then, no one approached me, while staff were clearly serving other tables. I eventually went inside to voice my concern. By that point, it was clear to me I was being bypassed in a way that made me feel racially profiled, as I was the only minority present in the entire restaurant. I went downstairs and reported this to the front desk supervisor, Bryan, explaining that I no longer felt comfortable staying at the hotel. After that, I went back upstairs to record a video of the restaurant to document the environment and demographics of the patrons. The irony is that the first and only time the hostess directly approached me was when she noticed me holding my phone and demanded "are you recording?" which is on the video. Suddenly, I was noticed and confronted. As I left, I saw her rushing off, clearly looking for a manager--again, ironic given that no one could be bothered to acknowledge me when I was actually a customer trying to order food. This entire experience left me feeling excluded and racially profiled. I left the property and stayed at the Marriott Courtyard next door instead, where I was treated with respect. As someone who spends ~100 nights a year in hotels across multiple states, I do not casually use the word "racist." I was refused service at this establishment due to my race. In my 1000+ reviews I've never made such a claim. read more

There were the largest "small" plates we've been ever served. The generous portions could have been shared with three rather than just the two of us. And very tasty, too. (Who cares about portion size if the food is yuck!?). Service was super quick and pleasant. We shall return. read more

Came to the Ridge Room because we are staying at the Hyatt Place. It's certainly fun in the sense that it feels a bit hidden and when you walk in, it almost gives speakeasy vibes. We came in the evening it there was nice ambiance, it wasn't loud, seemed like a smaller, intimate spot. Our server was Danielle and she was incredibly nice and even gave us hiking recommendations as we told her we were going to Shenandoah the following day. We ordered a Soothsayer drink, the cheeseboard, the mushroom flatbread and broccoli and cauliflower. The drink was decent, nothing to write home about. I will say, the names of their drinks are super peculiar and I almost wanted to ask how they came up with them but I didn't lol. The charred broccoli and cauliflower was so much better than I expected it to be. Light, but flavorful. A perfect amount of smoky char, too. The mushroom flatbread tasted a bit like it was frozen and heated up. Had a great taste, although the crust itself was bland and lacking and after about 10 minutes the cheese got a bit coagulated. The cheeseboard was fantastic. Great amount of accoutrements, however, I do think three small pieces of cheese didn't suffice. Either add another variety, or make the portions a bit bigger. For the three dishes and a beverage, the total came to $58.40. Definitely a bit pricey, but the convenience if you're staying in the hotel is worth it. read more

Surprisingly fantastic, delicious healthy food. Great prices and a beautiful restaurant. Highly recommend.

Absolutely fantastic experience at Ridge Room. Tapas bar with a great view (for being in the center of town). Service was friendly, great vibe of music, drinks (Negroni) was great, and the food didn't disappoint. I had the baked Brie and the pork belly. Baked Brie was definitely sweeter than I was expecting but the flaked sea salt on the bread was a good touch. The pork belly was perfectly cooked and the Brussels, puree, and the pears added such depth of flavor. No complaints and I'll definitely be back! Highly recommend read more

Just needed a good drink and a place to unwind for a bit, and The Ridge Room delivered. I stopped in and ordered their Virginia Old Fashioned (KO Bare Knuckle bourbon, brown sugar, bitters), and honestly--it was spot on. Smooth, just the right amount of sweet, and super easy to sip on. The bartender was awesome, super friendly and welcoming from the start. It wasn't a busy night, but she kept herself busy the whole time, making sure everything looked good and everyone felt taken care of. I wish I remembered her name because she definitely deserves some recognition. Only thing that took away from the vibe was the amount of gnats flying around the bar. Kinda hard to ignore after a while. But aside from that, it was a great experience, and I'd definitely stop by again. read more

We walked in with a party of a dozen or more for an impromptu gathering after 8 PM. The hotel was very new at the time and we went and parked up on the ridge room and partied like rock stars for the next 3 1/2 hours. The food was original. The service was good. The atmosphere was amazing and the hotel facilities were also exceptional. read more

Love this place. I try to make it in with my husband every time we visit my child at JMU but it's hard due to timing and festivities. When we do go in, we are never disappointed. Service is always great and sometimes when we stop in, it's a quick date night for us, drinks and an appetizer. It's so nice and quiet inside. You can just relax and the waiter/waitress knows when just to come and check in. The food has never let us down. Go check them out. read more

Really cute rooftop restaurant that's a part of the Hyatt hotel. Relatively new, opened about 2 years ago but I'd never heard of it until tonight. My friends recommended it so we went. Park to the left of the hotel and you'll see its own entrance. We didn't make reservations and were able to be seated right away on a Friday night. I feel like a lot of people still don't know about this hidden gem. Our server was super sweet. Only downside was that it was FREEZING inside, we asked to move to a table that was closer to the outdoor seating cause the outside at night with winds was warmer than inside lol. They also have space heaters but unfortunately all the outdoor seating was taken. The views though for sunset were unreal. The cocktails were so good, I did the Tiki rum drink. Their food portions are all small plates so you get a couple to share. My husband and I did the short rib, crab cakes, flatbread, sweet & sour meatballs, and the baguette. It was all SO good omg and we ate it all too and still got dessert. I got the chocolate torte which was very rich, I couldn't finish it by myself. read more

This place is a total vibe! The website only gives you a sneak peek but when you walk into this restaurant, it is truly an experience. My friend and I were in town for a conference and decided to dine here. Upon entry, the hostess was lovely and quickly took us to our table. Outside dining was at capacity but the hostess indicated that she would let us know when a table opened. We placed our wine, cocktail and entrees orders and when the food came out, we were in awe with the presentation. We took our first bites and we were both like, my god you can taste all the flavors and spices. The food was delicious. The staff also honor their word because a table opened outside and we were able to finish our dinner and take in the amazing views. I'm here for a few days and already want to go back. read more

Just came from drinks. The "rooftop" bar was really great to sit at; however, it faces the parking lot of a Home Depot and the highway so it's a little underwhelming. Nice service though! We didn't have the food. read more

The experience was amazing! My party did come to the restaurant rather early, so the lighting, service, and ambiance were judged purely based off aesthetic. Beautiful interior and the glimpse I got of the patio was equally pleasant. We got to try many different things off the menu, all of which were delicious + a few drinks. Here are a few comments about each dish... Sesame-crusted yellowfin tuna, $18: delicious! It wasn't a juicy, "drenched" iteration of fish, nor was it a crunchy fried iteration. I greatly enjoyed this take of raw/semi cooked style of tuna. The sesame was a prominent flavor, but still carried a soy rich note to it. It was toped on top of some green beens and carrots which were both delicious. Personally, I was indifferent to the green beans (was yummy and soy-savory, but nothing amazing), but I was very fond of the carrot slices. My party and I rated it our second favorite from the dishes we ordered. Shell-Off Steamed PEl Mussels: $16; The mussels were not fishy at all which was pleasant, however the olives over powered a large portion of the tasting profile. My party and I added sausage to this soup and mainly ate off these pieces plus the mussels. It came with a slice of bread which was pretty generic, super crunchy (maybe too crunchy). This was the only thing we didn't eat cleanly. We put this as our least favorite what we ordered. Cast Iron Seared Crabcakes: $17; Nothing special, we were indifferent to the tasting profile of this dish. The quantity was also very filling after trying the other dishes, but we were reluctant to fill out stomachs with this. The dish was not spicy, but there was either a topping or sauce that added a random kick to the dish. This added a unique profile to the meal. I would put this second to last on my list, just because there was nothing "attention grabbing" about it and it was pretty standard for a crabcake. Sriracha-Honey Glazed Shrimp: $16; Didn't identify any sriracha or spicy (what I would expect from the name) in the shrimp, and the quantity was a personal amount. It had a savory soy taste without being too salty, I personally enjoyed. I would rank my third favorite, only because first and second place are secured from other dishes. Twice Cooked Papa Weaver's Pork Belly: $14; Amazin! Crispy, savory, and delicious. Out of all the dishes we got, we ordered this twice because it was just that good. I am korean-American so I judge pork belly strictly, but this was amazing! It was topped with these delicious apple mini cubes and charred brussel sprouts (not many, wish there was more of these), all on top of this amazing savory glaze. Ranked number 1 from both my party and I. Drink wise, I was very fond of the Crosskey Joy White, sweet and light wine on my palette. My party had multiple Saving Daylight's which a beer that had a sweet fruity taste, and a slice of orange which he squeezed into his beer to add a light citrus flavor. If you come on an empty stomach, the dishes will not fill you up (all of our dishes were small). For a party of two who has big stomachs, we ordered one of each meal with the expectation of the pork belly (x2). This filled us up. Prices were reasonable for everything and the service was great. Would love to experience this place in the summer when the patio is open~ read more

This restaurant is unmatched in Harrisonburg when it comes to the ambiance and incredible views. The service is wonderful. However, the food is where it fell a little short. The crab cakes were average and the bread on the salmon toast was nearly impossible to cut through. I will say, that I really enjoyed their deviled eggs and the crispy brussel sprouts were phenomenal and my favorite dish I have had. I would still definitely go back for the amazing views and to try other dishes. read more

Had reservations for 6 at 8:pm showed up at 7:30 and decided to grab some drinks at the bar before our table was ready. The Bartender came over and said he couldn't serve us without us having a table due to "Fire Code" I call BS (there were maybe 20 people in the whole place ) Absolutely Absurd the guy wouldn't stop going on and on about how he had no control. Good Luck staying in business. The place Sucked. read more

As a richmond VA native, my girl friends and I took a 24 trip to visit Buccees and the area. We were recommended to visit this place down stairs. First, the hostess was a GEM and didn't deserve the treatment she received by local under aged thugs. Second, my bartender Kayliee was a gem. I've been to many bars and had many reviews but she was a delight. She was slammed by egotistical, sloppy men who wanted her number and she was kind and patient. She served me and my friends consistently through our demands even through her business. I honestly would've tipped extremely more if I didn't realize that her tip through the automatic gratuities and what I left was SPLIT between bouncers and managent that had nothing to do with her service. This place is incredible minus their tipping strategy. I suggest you come here, see kayliee and tip In cash to avoid the scum bags running this place. read more

The mixed drinks paired with view alone makes this a must go stopping point We had the charcuterie and deviled eggs for an appetizer. The cheese on the board was very good. The meats were just okay. We really enjoyed the deviled eggs. Dinner as great! We had the lamb, duck, and short rib. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I wouldn't hesitate stopping here!! read more

Firstly, this place is amazing for a date night or celebration. It is a very welcoming place with a decent view. Their brunch menu also looks delicious but I haven't tried it. Although I do love the ambiance, and the service was okay, the food was very underwhelming. We got the corn dip as an appetizer and we were sadly disappointed. I am not sure why it is called street corn because we didn't taste any corn. It tastes more like a bean dip with cheese. If you're not a fan of beans stay away!!!! I was so excited for fish tacos (haven't had them in a long time) and was also disappointed. Catfish is an extremely "fishy" fish so when you're using it in food, less is better in terms of things you pair it with. The amount of jalepenos, sauce, and especially pineapple that is pared with this fish was wild. These tacos are extremely acidic and we ended up ordering bread to go along with them. These tacos are way too many random flavors all combined in one. It was the strangest fish taco we had ever had. With all that being said, I would like to go back to try other menu items. As we were looking at food the other tables ordered - I think we just picked the wrong items. The other food I have seen looks delicious and I certainly want to try more to make up for this experience. Oh and drinks are 10/10! read more

Who knew our favorite spot in Harrisonburg would be at the top of Hyatt Place. The Ridge Room has awesome views, great service and good food. We came here two nights in a row. While we love a good cheese board- and theirs is delicious (the soft, warm bread is the best!), we also loved their deviled eggs. Cocktails are delicious and they have a good wine selection.

Beautifully views especially during sunset. Food was good. Creative cocktails that were tasty. Clean facility. Lost of a star due to service. We were a group of six and on the menu it stated they could split check. The server however said she could not do it. We were a little disappointed with the response and service. That is the only reason for the loss of the star. Other than that, the group enjoyed the food. Fresh ingredients and good drinks. Feel free to give it a try! read more

The folks working there were great but the place, not so much. The coveted view was mostly a parking lot. The service was fine except that all of our small plate orders came out at the same time. Nice looking place but very cold due to too much AC. Ordered: 1. Duck confit lettuce cups. Pretty good. 2. Tuna tartare: Almost tasteless. 3. Short ribs: beef mush 4. Crips brussel sprouts: so over cooked we sent them back. Sorry to be so crabby about this one but is was what it was. read more

The food had really good potential here. I personally ordered the fish tacos -excellent, lots of flavour and great texture. The chicken Slovaki was yummy but had some old Tomatoes which really brought the whole dish down. Same with the salmon crostini, the bread was clearly old. Overall good food that could be great with fresher ingredients. The cocktails were above average but nothing exceptional. Worth trying but maybe not the best I've ever had. Service was great. There was one server -Dustin- who basically ran the restaurant. The wait was a bit slow but not his fault -there needed to be more servers on the floor. Overall I had a delightful experience here. It was very relaxing and comfortable. read more

The view from outside is beautiful. The restaurant was lovely. Our service was good. Our server was attentive and polite. We had the flatbread. It was ok. What bothered me was the service a young black man received. His waiter was annoyed that he was taking awhile to order and kept asking him. Ok standard but when he stepped away for a second she looked at where he was sitting with such disdain and when she caught us looking at her quickly fixed her expression. We closed our bill and left. read more

The Ridge Room is a new rooftop bar at the Hyatt Hotel. Once I heard about it, I had to come and check it out. For you to know, there is a separate entrance and elevator on the far side of the hotel that only goes to the Ridge Room which is so cool and gives you that exclusive VIP feel. You can make a reservation online or walk in to be seated. Though the bar and lounge is a decent size, they have seating at the bar, 2-4 people tables, 2 elevated 8 people tables with high chairs and a lounge sitting area with couches and chairs. I just loved all of the decor! Has a cozy, rustic, and upscale vibe. It was very cold so the outdoor balcony was not open but I am sure it's a vibe with it's warmer. Came to celebrate a friend's birthday so we shared a few appetizers which were all amazing and delicious! They have a great menu of small bites and plates, wine, cocktails, and dessert options!Definitely recommend the meatballs, the crab dip, and the BBQ flatbread! Great place for small bites and drinks, birthdays, dates, meeting with friends and more! Would love to bring my partner here the next time he is in town! read more
