“ Our first experience will not be our last! We live a few hours away and planned a weekend getaway. Everything from the ambiance, service, and food was impeccable! Check in and valet were seamless. Sitting on the swings waiting to be called to our table was a total vibe! We were seated below the bar right at the entrance. At first I had really wished we were upstairs but the food and ambiance made me forget right away! We started with the bread board appetizer which was delivered by one of the managers, Shakur. This impressed me because he was interacting with the guests and you could tell he wanted to make sure our experience was satisfactory! The breads were delicious and the spreads were perfect compliments! I had the haddock and my husband had the lobster mac and cheese. We were expecting small portions for the fine dining price—we were WRONG! We were shocked at how much food arrived and we had to box up a big portion of everything (appetizer, meals, dessert) that we ordered. To finish, we had to order the Pittsburgh cookie table! Were the cookies the best cookies we’ve ever had? No. Am I still glad we ordered it? Absolutely! I especially liked the heart shaped cookies. They were delicious! I must try brunch next! ”
“ This was our first time here!!! For a birthday dinner! The place is very beautiful inside have plenty of spots to take photos. They have three floors. The drinks and food is a reasonable price and delicious!!! The service was excellent and the manager even came to check on us twice. I had the pomegranate lemon mocktail, crab fondue and the Asian inspired Gnocchi. They even do happy birthday songs and cotton candy with a cupcake and the sparkling candle. ”
“ We just left here for my friend’s birthday brunch... let me tell you we had a time! First, the server Colleen was so sweet and I loved her vibe! Second, the drinks were GOOD! Well worth the price. Lastly, the food was AMAZING. I got the shrimp & grits and my friends got blueberry pancakes, classic benedict and the shortbread benedict and we all loved our meals. The atmosphere was cute and classy as well - perfect for a birthday brunch - the manager Patrick made our time enjoyable as well with some comp food and drinks for the birthday. This was a complete turnaround from when I came a few years ago, will definitely be spreading the word and returning! ”
“ We were visiting this spot from Toronto, Canada. There was 9 of us with a reservation for 7 people (some other friends surprised my friend from another state) so they had to pivot but we told that we didn’t mind squishing on the table we had. We could make it work. Also, it was one of our friend’s birthday. First it was a little wait when we got there but the set up at the front is AMAZING. there’s a little photo op/wait area with a floral wall, ceiling and swing chairs. It was absolutely stunning. When we ordered, I ordered a coffee. It wasn’t hot and they only had cream, I drink milk in my coffee. I ordered the bacon, egg potatoes and side of pancakes. It was delicious. I am not big on eggs but these were cooked to perfection. My friend ordered the breakfast, she said they were really good, seasoned well. The pancakes weren’t the greatest. They were a little crunchy. Other friends ordered the chicken and waffles and they said it was so good, it is white meat. The shrimp were JUMBO! They also said that they were good, no complaints. The creme brulee waffle was exquisite. So delicious. They mimosas were great, only feedback was to leave the bottle at the table. lol The servers were friendly and very accommodating and the MANAGER was 100/10. I don’t remember his name but he was so nice, he came over and check on us. Catered to our request and was just overall super nice. We will definitely be back our next time in Pittsburgh Oh and last thing, they brought out a cupcake with the cotton candy for my friend for her birthday and it was just such a great end to our brunch. ”
“ Amazing experience at Ritual House for our anniversary. Firstly, the food was stunning although we felt some things can be for a little less. The taste was wonderful as was presentation. Starting from our the famous Bruleed Oranges, Burrata, Special fish and Halibut were all fabulous. To finish off, their strawberry pretzel dessert was stunning. Probably the best dessert I had in terms of presentation. Good cocktails too. Secondly, the ambience was perfect for a special occasion. They even celebrated our anniversary with a sparkler, a complimentary piece of celebratory cake and cotton candy! Finally, our server Viktoriia was amazing. She was so generous to take all the pictures for my wife and I. Just loved her service!! ”
“ 5 Stars – Perfect Brunch Spot! This place is an absolute gem for brunch! The atmosphere is so lovely with a beautiful design that makes it feel both cozy and classy. The lobster omelette is simply incredible—easily one of the best I’ve had. The cocktails are also top-notch, perfectly crafted and super refreshing. It’s quickly become one of my favorite spots for brunch, whether it’s for a casual weekend or something a little more special. Highly recommend if you’re looking for great food, ”
“ Great restaurant and great experience. Looking forward to returning soon. We stayed the night in town and had dinner here. Food and service were great, and the atmosphere was fun. We liked it so much we came back the next morning and had an amazing brunch. We both had the spare rib which was super tender. The NYM strawberry pretzel salad was unique and captured those flavors in a new way. The blueberry lemon pancakes did not disappoint. ”
“ Have been here for apps, dinner and desserts on several occasions and each time it was a home run. Mandarin oranges and yinzer salad dessert were awesome - the 7 layer cake was a bit indescript for being a winning cake on the food network, but it was cool to try. ”
