I was happy that the staff was able to accommodate my request of putting the tables together to accommodate my large party and still separating the checks. My mother had done difficulty navigating all the stairs with her cane. The cornbread was drier than I remember, but everyone else seemed to thoroughly enjoy their food. The presentation of the cake was beautiful and my daughter was very happy. Thank you for a great 19th bday experience.

This was the first time at Ritual House for most of my friends. Brunch did not disappoint! We all loved our dishes. Steven our server deserves the credit. He knows the menu thoroughly and was able to make awesome recommendations. That includes libations too!

I checked in with the hostess and our table wasn’t ready, which was fine. However, a half hour later she asked if we were waiting on a table or if we needed to check in. She forgot about us.

Went there for Sunday brunch and it was just ok. The food was kind of bland, and the portions were small, and the price was huge. The coffee was weak and left a fair bit to be desired. I was hoping for a better dining experience overall. It was however, a very beautiful environment.

Went to ritual house when I was pregnant for a birthday dinner and was dying to go back. It did not disappoint. The drinks were yummy and the food is mouthwatering. The orchard flatbread is one of my faves, and the halibut was to die for. Worth every penny. Can’t wait to go back.

The food was delicious, the atmosphere is beautiful and had the most amazing service! Our waitress was knowledgeable, gave us our space while ensuring our needs were met and even had me ordering a dish that isn't normally of my taste- and it was fantastic!! The ritual house is an experience worth the ticket!
