The Retreat at Ridgeway Lake Wateree Dining located right on Lake Wateree in Ridgeway, South Carolina is inspired by celebrating family and the community. This scratch kitchen showcases locally sourced, seasonal ingredients in a friendly environment. Chef Blake’s approach and belief in representing local farmers drives the refined southern cuisine served at The Retreat. The southern charm extends

through the whole restaurant as Heather's dedication to exceptional experience will provide you with a warm welcome in an elegant, yet relaxed atmosphere paired with attentive service. This married duo and their daughter started The Retreat at Ridgeway knowing their family would grow into the team they work with and the customers they have come to know and love. They look forward to the opportunity to celebrate family with you and making memories that last a lifetime!

Happy Father’s Day from The Retreat! What a wonderful day celebrating the dads, grandfathers, and father figures who joined us lakeside today. Thank you to everyone who spent part of your Father’s Day with us we’re grateful you chose The Retreat to make memories with your families. We loved serving you, sharing great food, and raising a Bloody Mary (or two!) to all the incredible dads out there. We will be closed this evening to allow our team time with their families, and we’ll reopen on Wednesday for dinner service. From our family to yours, thank you for your continued support, and Happy Father’s Day.

Some celebrate birthdays, anniversaries, some close business deals, and some reconnect after years apart, while others sit watching the sun settle over the lake with a glass of wine in hand. What they all have in common is this: they came together. We believe hospitality is more than serving a meal. It’s creating a place where conversations linger, laughter carries across the room, and memories are made one gathering at a time. Whether you’re joining us for lunch, dinner, or simply a glass of wine by the water, we’re honored to be part of your story. Join us lakeside at The Retreat.
