Chester Restaurants

I took my girlfriend to brunch at Ritual House on our engagement weekend in the city and it was absolutely wonderful. The decorations they had for the holidays were stunning and magical and the overall design of the place, including menus and table settings, was so charming. We were waited on by Bryce (can’t remember if that’s the correct spelling of his name!) and he was energetic, funny, helpful, and made us feel so welcome and comfortable. She got the chicken and waffles with a side of breakfast potatoes and I got the monte cristo sandwich. All of the food was flavorful, fresh, and portions were very generous. We definitely want to go back! Out of three restaurants we dined at over the weekend, this place was our favorite.

The high top in the bar area is really small for two people and it tips over when you lean on it, so that made things a bit challenging but the staff did a good job picking stuff up when not being used. Food is excellent every time. Love the crab cakes. Their filet is very good also, but recommend subbing something in for the seaweed salad that comes with it by default.

The wait to be seated was reasonable. The food took a little longer than expected even though there were hardly any tables taken. The food was delicious. I was disappointed with the small amount of salmon for$25: my ordered burger (ordered without a bun) was bigger than the piece of salmon. The staff were pleasant.

We had a mid-week birthday celebration and "that was a great meal" was the universal opinion. Stephanie, our server, was attentive and knowledgeable. Food selections included ahi tuna, Bronzino, flounder, crab cakes, shrimp and scallops - all delicious preparations!

Absolutely fantastic! Beautifully presented cocktails and dinner! The lobster bisque is out of this world and we split the surf and turf dinner - 2 four ounce filets with grilled shrimp and crabcake topping. Delicious!
