    The best part of this place is the drinks and atmosphere. Our server was also efficient and very kind. The food is fine but not worth the menu prices. Probably better for Happy Hour or cocktails only than a full course dinner.

    We were seated on time. We ordered drinks and waited 15-20 minutes for the first round. Food came out quickly but only the fried chicken which came out 5 minutes after everyone else’s was hot. All other food just warm but plates very hot. We ordered another round of drinks mid meal but after 20 minutes had to cancel the order because we had a show and no one wanted to chug a martini or old fashioned. The food was ok. Service was ok.

    Excellent! First time there -- and will definitely return. All dishes were delicious and we ate every bit. The tuna is divine, melted in our mouths and the wasabi/soy/kewpie sauce is the perfect complement.

    Absolutely worth the hype on Instagram. Our server was amazing - Jayisha. She bright my friend a firework candle and it was the perfect addition for her 32nd birthday. I ordered the filet mignon and it was so tender I would recommend for anyone. I really also enjoyed the mixed drinks. There’s so many pictures to be taken and celebrated at this restaurant. If you haven’t been - go now while there’s reservations!

    Kind staff, great menu, a lot of specialty cocktail options. The oranges would’ve been 10/10 had they had a little more goat cheese (still like a 9/10 though). Highly recommend. The filet was one of the best I’ve had.

    The food at the Ritual House was amazing. The noise level was loud due to several large parties. I suggest if there are only 2-3 people in a party sit them on the bottom floor not the top where the large parties are.

    They had hardly anything on the menu, apparently they’re rolling out a new menu later this month? Ok then tell people what you DO have. My chicken was supposed to come with cornbread stuffing and cranberry compote. It was literally a piece of cornbread and craisins.. My friend was supposed to have cauliflower risotto, it was just creamed cauliflower 😂 Our server was great and he noticed I wasn’t eating and brought me something different and the meatloaf was really good..they didn’t have the pork chop anymore which was what I originally wanted so that’s a disappointment. Also they only had three beers out of maybe 25 listed on the menu.

    Overpriced and far too noisy. The food was basically bad. Oily. Server unfamiliar with the sides each dish came with. Let us order crazy amounts of food that wasn’t needed. All style. No substance. One here for Instagram not if you like food.

    We really enjoyed our brunch there this past Saturday. The only thing we were as little disappointed about as we sat on the upper level across from the kitchen, we watched numerous red velvet pancakes come out with a cloud on top of them. My granddaughter had ordered the same thing. When hers came out, it was deflated. She is only 4 but very observant. Other than that everything was great and we will definitely be back.

    We came here for Sunday brunch. Very cool ambience. Food was average. Service was bad. Our drinks/cocktails came after the entrees. My husband’s order was mix-up. Employees needed proper training. Our waiter was cordial but he needed to keep a close eye on the tables. I would like to give this restaurant another try for dinner.

    Absolutely love my drinks, food amd both my servers Nikki and Christian were AMAZING. However my husband had a slight prob with his drinks. He ordered VSOP Hennessey and was given regular Hennessey. Once he noticed, the issue was fixed. Other than that, we will Absolutely be back! This establishment is absolutely beautiful, VERY CLEAN and the Music was awesome! Thank you for bringing a new location to PGH, we needed it!

    It’s a nice place and food is good but we were either over charged or it’s a little too expensive for breakfast food and sandwiches. $180 for four people and three alcoholic drinks, a burrito, eggs Bennie, and two club Sammie’s plus an app. That was without 22% tip. The food was very good but again simple breakfast and sandwich items. I will say I did have the best Bloody Mary ever…so hats off to the bartender. Our server was nice and attentive. The restaurant itself is beautiful.

    The crib cake was delusk as well as the wedge(you can't really mess up a wedge salad though) the lobster potpie was like a 40$ bowl of soup with not one piece of lobster in it.. the 48$ salmon was small and overcooked.. the28$ meatloaf was dry and more like a hamburger. The 32$ chicken was good but it doesn't tell you it basically is a meal unlike the others you should add a sharable side we had the shishito peppers which were mild. The breadboard was 6$ for 6 pieces. Definitely over priced and not as good as I had hoped. 😕 oh and the drinks aren't consistent we had 2 cherry dacharis that taste nothing alike one sweet one sour and the garnish was different .

    Just okay... It is the hip place to be but we aren’t in a hurry to go back for dinner. May try brunch to see how that goes. Service was okay, drinks just eh. I feel like they put a bunch of adjuncts in them to mask the base spirit. The bread service is a joke. If you are going to ask someone to pay for bread it better be something worth paying for. Crab cake app was decent. Salmon was better than average. It was cooked perfectly. Best part was dessert. We got the key lime pie.

    The restaurant itself is very aesthetically pleasing but the food was average, not good not bad. The food is not bringing me back. The service was average. We were celebrating my sister’s birthday and the cake with the cotton candy and sparkler was fun and great for picture, but we didn’t have plates to eat it and had to ask 3 times for them. Out appetizer order was messed up as well. This is more an experience than a great place to eat

    Great service. Our waitress was fabulous! Nice atmosphere. My husband loved their wedge salad with candied bacon and pickled onions. The banana cream pie was an indiviudal mini pie and delicious! It was noisy and hard to talk unless you are sitting beside each other.
