    Disappointed. The table next to the kitchen is to be desired. The Soba noddles under the salmon were cold. Staff uniforms were lack luster. No sense of unity. Service was mediocre at best. Will not go back.

    Our favorite place for brunch! Went on Easter so it was very busy but despite how full the restaurant was, the service was impeccable, as always. I am always amazed at how many people work at this restaurant -- clearly, the owner stresses first-class service. The cocktails were carefully crafted, excellent and arrived at our table super fast, given that the bar is downstairs. My husband had the salmon appetizer and a BLT, while I had the short rib eggs Benedict. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Our server was so friendly and helpful; we have found this to be true of every server we've had at this restaurant. If you are a lover of brunch, you must try Ritual House. It's outstanding!

    Excellent Sunday brunch. Love the candied pepper bacon, avocado toast and the short rib grilled cheese sandwich.

    First visit to this popular spot. It is a beautiful space with an energetic, cool vibe. It was a bit too noisy for my liking but I dealt with it. Amazing menu of creative cocktails, interesting apps and varied entrees. Really hard to choose. I tried the crab fondue which we shared, the short rib of beef and the gigantic bbq sweet potato. Service was very friendly although maybe a bit rushed at the beginning. I am eager to visit the bar for lunch or happy hour. It has beautiful chandeliers and a cool cosmopolitan look. Definitely should be a major dining destination.
