A modern Southern restaurant designed around the idea of inclusivity.

Located within The Draftsman boutique hotel near The University of Virginia, The Ridley is Charlottesville’s destination for high-quality American fare, local beer and craft cocktails. As one of Charlottesville’s Black-owned restaurants, our restaurant pays homage to Dr. Walter Ridley, the first Black student to graduate from UVA and receive a graduate degree from any major historically white public university in the South.
