As an appetizer, one should try their “Housemade Flatbread,” which features barbecue chicken, ricotta cheese, and Jalapeño peppers, which was quite crispy.

Equally noteworthy was their “Buffalo Style Cauliflower,” consisting of celery and Blue Cheese, which was spicy and savory.

“The salmon with the Caesar salad (along with Romaine and Parmesan Croutons) was so tender to the point where it melted in my mouth,” Chrissy Antosca said. “Also, their ‘Beef Burger’ was cooked to perfection.”

Desserts

The Ribbon is the quintessential eatery to try some scrumptious desserts. Fans of chocolate should try their Chocolate Chip Bread Pudding (which was served with vanilla ice cream and topped with hot fudge), and their “Hot Fudge Sundae,” which comes with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, walnuts and whipped cream.
