RitualGreat place!!!As soon as we sat down our server came right over...he suggested 2 great apps.. cheese steak dip and the toga dip party...the hummus was yummy...I had the stuffed tuna and my husband had the scallops and ravioli..both dinners were great...We would definitely go back!!!6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMfood and service were excellent!We had crab cakes as an appetizer and they were the best we've ever had. I had stuffed salmon and my husband had the shortribs. Both excellent choices on our part. Our waitress was very sweet and attentive (but not over the top). The bar is in the center of the restaurant but the ceilings are very high, so even though the bar was full, there was no problem with noise level. Really nothing bad to say. We'll definitely go back to Ritual.6/8/2013 12:00:00 AMVery relaxed feel and veryVery relaxed feel and very interesting décor. Easy parking was a surprise, don't need to use valet. Chilean Sea Bass was exquisite, soft, moist, flavorful. Great martini menu. Wait staff was very friendly, down to earth, no pretenses. Had a great time and a great meal.5/24/2013 12:00:00 AMA TRUE HIDDEN GEM IN WORCESTER, MA"I love the rustic decor and the large open window. I definitely would return to try more dishes. The lobster bisque was great and the Poseidon Chowder was thick and delicous. The generous potion of stuffed tuna was the best I've had and was served over jasmine rice. The flat iron steak was cooked to perfection, very tender and served over mashed yukon and roasted shoestring veggies. The Broiled Scallops were wonderful and served with lobster ravioli with a black truffle butter sauce. The Chocolate Lava Cake for dessert was served hot with vanilla gelato and was gooey and yummy! Service was very well-timed and friendly. All around awesome meal!"5/18/2013 12:00:00 AMPerfect night with my girlfriends,Perfect night with my girlfriends, can't wait to go back. Food was AMAZING!!4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMExquisite food at a fair priceExquisite food at a fair price for the top quality. However, the casual, slightly funky bistro atmosphere is at odds with the superb output of the kitchen.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMGirls night outLoved Ritual! Six of us ladies met for dinner before seeing a show at the Hanover. Service was great, food was delicious. I had the chicken marsala which was awesome & others ordered the beef tenderloin tips & they loved it. Only thing I didn't care for was our seating. With six people I felt too close to the service area. I would have preferred sitting closer to the window section but do understand they were busy (however reservations were made well in advance for that night). Next time I'll request to sit in a better location. My reccomendation is to try it for couples & friends, leave the kids home with the sitter...4/12/2013 12:00:00 AMWho knew! Three of us wereWho knew! Three of us were very pleasantly surprised to run across this gem a hop, skip and a jump down from Mechanics Hall. The menu was chock full of foodies' delights. It was impressive to learn that all meals are prepared fresh, "even the soups," according to our fabulous waiter. The beet and chevre salad was simple but great. The mussels appetizer was steamed in a well balanced broth. The salmon entree was moist, moist, moist! I can't wait to come back and try every single pizza - they all sound mouthwatering. You can't leave there without ordering the bread pudding made from croissants. Yum! Well done, Ritual!4/6/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent find. Great forExcellent find.

Coffee was old and had to be replaced. Food worth ANY aggravation.4/2/2013 12:00:00 AMFood was excellent. Beet saladFood was excellent. Beet salad was delicious, steak and cheese app was extremely tasty and beef tenderloin dish was amazing! Lots of different choices than other restaurants. A must try and a great recommendation for others!3/27/2013 12:00:00 AMWhat a find! Why did we wait to go?Ritual was recommended to us by friends about a year ago. We had it in the back of our minds to try it but there are so many great restaurants in Worcester, we didn't feel that we needed another to add to our "rotation". I am so glad we went last weekend. The inside had a cool vibe-lots of dark wood and red accents. I love to try new dishes and Ritual has some truly uniqe dishes. Great menu. I tried the stuffed dates and really enjoyed the sweet and salty combination. My husband had the lollipop lamb chops and enjoyed them. Chili was spicy and full of meat and beans-yum. Poseidon soup was truly memorable. Tenderloin and pork main dishes and desserts were excellent. Great location on main st. Can't wait to go back! Don't hesitate.3/23/2013 12:00:00 AMA great find. Amazing foodA great find. Amazing food and the service was great. Highly recommend to everyone.3/22/2013 12:00:00 AMGood place right before aGood place right before a game or event at the DCU Center.
