- CCharVIPWisconsin •14 reviews4.0Dined 2 days agoWe dined here last night! The last time we were here, we couldn’t wait to return, this time, not so much! It’s so obvious from the time you arrive , you are being pushed out by a pushy server that doesn’t have a problem interrupting your evening with her rough theatrical chirps as she attempts three French words she learnt in the kitchen to try and make the interruptions somehow sound charming! Yes it’s very noticed and very weird, obnoxious, rude and off putting. We had finished our appetizer and had the main course on the table 25 minutes after we arrived, there is just no way that food is not sitting in the kitchen to run out the door. I will say that the food was good, some dishes better than others! I feel the popcorn on the table is getting to be a stale concept and the complimentary cream cheese bite I could definitely live without 💯! The steak tartare is to die for and so was the gnocchi appetizer! The Chilean sea bass sauce was good but the fish had sat to long before coming out! The veal ossobuco a was tasty , not the best I’ve had but acceptable! Dessert was a pretty whimsical looking but rather blah tasting!More infoAltiusPrice: Very Expensive• Contemporary American• Mt.

- CCarrieabPittsburgh / Western PA •6 reviews5.0Dined on 26 Dec 2024My daughter & I went to Ritual House for the first time last night. We got seated in a booth near the bar. We ordered a bread board and the edamame, both were good! I ordered the Asian inspired chicken and got the sauce on the side, as recommended by the waiter. The chicken was moist and the breading perfectly done! The sauce was on the sweeter side (almost like syrup), so I am glad it was on the side. Didn’t care for the slaw. My daughter got a grilled chicken Caesar salad, she said it was good! We will definitely be back to try some different food.More infoRitual HousePrice: Expensive• Contemporary American• Downtown•4.7
