Lake Ridge Restaurant — Restaurant in Town of Malta

I brought my wife and two kids to check out this restaurant for the first time and we knew immediately when we walked in that we were underdressed! We had gone in with just casual clothes on but quickly realized the fine dining atmosphere and felt like we should have dressed up a little nicer. Oh well, lesson learned, but the staff and hostess could care less what we were wearing, they just seemed genuinely happy that we were there! They led us to a very nicely set table with candle light, hot bread and fresh herb butter. The kids had Shirley temples and the wife and I had cocktails. Her cosmo was made just the way she likes it and my Titos Mule was mixed perfectly. We got the bacon wrapped shrimp and pork belly scallops for appetizers and they were both expertly prepared. Our entrees were a pecan encrusted pork chop and a hangar steak with chimmichuri. They were both OUTSTANDING! The pork chop was 4x bigger than a standard pork chop, my steak was cooked perfectly, both sauces were excellent compliments to the meats. We finished the meal off with the salted cheesecake and the chocolate cake which were both amazing. The kids enjoyed a buttered pasta and chicken tenders. Our waitress was prompt, friendly and professional. We got our food in a very reasonable time frame, the menu selections were very diverse, and we were treated like family! I will definitely be back to try some of their other entrees. It was a delicious meal...

Lake Ridge stands out as my favorite restaurant—a true gem where elegance and a touch of royal opulence seamlessly merge. The culinary artistry at this establishment never ceases to amaze, with each dish a testament to flavor and creativity that leaves you yearning for another bite. Every visit transforms into a delightful culinary journey that tantalizes the senses!

We often kick off our meal with exquisite appetizers that set the stage for the evening. The rich, luscious flavors of the pork belly, perfectly crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tender within, are a sublime start. Next, we indulge in the sophistication of the lobster tail, its sweet meat complemented by a buttery finish that dances on the palate. To round out our starters, we savor the delightful crab cake, bursting with fresh seafood flavor and delicately seasoned, creating a perfect symphony of taste.

As we transition to the main course, we are greeted with the unmatched tenderness of filet mignon, cooked to perfection and draped in a bold black pepper bourbon sauce that adds a glorious kick. The robust flavors linger long after each bite, making it an unforgettable experience. We also relish the exquisite charm of a rack of lamb, its tender meat beautifully seared, paired with herbs that elevate its natural richness. Each dish at Lake Ridge is a masterpiece, crafting memories that linger long...

A very hidden place you couldn't just stumble across. The interior is very homey and intimate. It feels more like you are having a meal in someone's home than in a restaurant. The menu is seasonal and changes frequently. They also participate is Restaurant Week, in which they have a special menu for that as well. I had a cup of soup. I can't remember exactly what it was, but it had beef and had a creamy texture to it. It was quite good, and after seeing it, several of the people I was there with ordered it as well. Their special that day was called a Kobe skirt steak with a red berry glaze, although it definitely was not Kobe and I feel safe in saying it wasn't Wagyu either. It still tasted good, if not a bit overcooked. It came with a small lump of carrots that were quite delicious. The plate and presentation was rather spartan in an unattractive way. I usually try to sneak a pic of my food no matter how upscale the restaurant is, but the arrangement was very unnattractive. The dessert menu was rather impressive in length and covered the full spectrum. I had a raspberry mousse. It was good; nothing special though. The staff was very friendly and the prices seemed appropriate for the food quality...
