My friend invited me to try this place a little over a week ago. I was amazed how the outside looks so compact but it has tons of space inside. The food selection is incredible. The waiter was very attentive with our food and drinks. I'll definitely come back.
Wow!
I had contacted Ritual via their website ahead of time because I have food allergies. The following morning I received an email letting me know they could accommodate and appreciate the heads up so the chef could be prepared. I responded with a reservation. Once we arrived the waiter was prepared to address our needs.
Because it's prepared fresh we were able to order items with slight alterations. As expected some things took a bit longer but I have to say everything we ordered was outstanding! They didn't just feed me, they fed my soul!
Hayden, our waiter, was fabulous. He knows the menu and was able to assist us in our choices, including wine. He could have been slightly more attentive to refilling water but he was available often enough that it wasn't an issue.
The food was beautiful and was cooked to order. The service was fabulous. I can only image how wonderful the food is without alterations. If you don't have diet restrictions go! Go and enjoy thoughtfully prepared dishes that are sure to please. If you do have diet restrictions, let them know ahead and enjoy great food and great hospitality!
My apologies to the chef for not remembering to take photos before I sampled.
Parking was a little confusing but the valet guys took care of me immediately. The wait was an hour but we didn't have a reservation so our fault. However the food was quick. The drinks were great and very well priced. Great service from Douglas!!
The best is the outdoor seating! Made it a perfect Sunday brunch. Would come back! :)
Very sleek and modern look. Service was overall very helpful. The poor rating came from the underwhelming 45 "dry age" bone in strip steak. Honestly I couldn't tell if it was dry aged or not. Flavor was lacking as well. Was it a prime or choice steak? Questionable butcher room but at least they were able to cook it to medium rare. My friends had other items from the menu outside of the butcher room and enjoyed it. I'll definitely give this restaurant another shot with the brunch menu. As of right now you're paying for the atmosphere and service than for the food.
