While everyone has been very nice and warm, the service is outrageously slow and bad at every restaurant at the Ritz. Our first night was at this place and we could only get a hi top reservation, yet the entire restaurant (which is a bar) had regular tables empty. They gave us one, but it is super odd that we could not reserve one. They did have a nice dessert on the house for us, but again, the service was so slow, and we were so tired and just wanted to leave.

Beautiful venue. Started with Charred Brussels Sprouts, which were outstanding! Roasted Stone Fruit Salad was interesting and enjoyable. Mains, Grilled Foraged Mushrooms presented well but lacked any grilled flavor; Pacific Bass was delicious! Service was great.

Nice ambience at fire pit table. Food was average in taste. We were celebrating our anniversary, but they did nothing to recognize the occasion. Expensive.

We made reservations for 4 and decided to seat ourselves outside since the weather was so nice. It's January, and usually, it's really cold, but today was beautiful. We had drinks and an appetizer. It's the Ritz, so prices are high, which we expected. We didn't walk around because time didn't allow it. We had another commitment. Overall, we had a great time and recommend this restaurant.

Alex, our server was great. Plan on going here for Christmas lunch. Was nice but the inside seating isn’t real comfortable. Very small table. The food was pretty small but it was tasty. Little pricey for a portion sizes but I guess you’re at the Ritz after all
