Dining options near our condo at the Ridge Pointe on the Nevada side of the Heavenly Resort were very slim during our vacation a few weeks back. After an exhausting day on the slopes we made our way over to the Ridge Club. Fortunately we were able to call the resort transportation number and ask for a complimentary ride to the club. The shuttle bus was at our door within minutes to take us to our destination.

The Ridge Club is not only home to a couple of dining options, it also houses the indoor/outdoor pool, a workout facility, and spa. On our Monday evening visit the Hungry Bear Restaurant was not open, but the Ridge Club Deli is open seven days a week. The menu is a short list of various sandwiches along with soup, chili, and take-n-bake pizza.

Veggie Sandwich

My wife ordered the veggie sandwich, which featured a naan style bread wrapped around a variety of fresh vegetables and hummus, topped with a delicious tahini like sauce.

Cranberry Turkey Sandwich

I went with the cranberry turkey sandwich topped with Swiss cheese, onions and cranberry mayo on Grilled Sourdough ($8.50). All sandwiches are served with a garden salad or a bag of chips. I really enjoyed the garden salad and would definitely recommend it. The sandwich was piled tall with turkey and had a nice flavor from the cranberry mayo and onions.

I was very surprised and impressed by the quality of food from the Ridge Club Deli. It would serve as a great lunch option while on the slopes if it didn’t require a bus ride up to the building. Otherwise it is a great option for a quick and delicious dinner.
