WENDY AND TOM DINE OUT

Ritchey's is a luncheonette with an attractive nautical decor. The nautical theme is carried out in the paper placemats and the blue Formica topped tables and blue metal and plastic chairs. The relatively small establishment has some charm for a luncheonette and is cleaner than most. It is above average in food quality and an adequate place to eat if you are in the area. It is not worth a special trip to dine here.
