Went to ritual house when I was pregnant for a birthday dinner and was dying to go back. It did not disappoint. The drinks were yummy and the food is mouthwatering. The orchard flatbread is one of my faves, and the halibut was to die for. Worth every penny. Can’t wait to go back.

Loved our dining experience here. Been here a couple of times and has never disappointed. Valet parking, friendly hostess, nice place for special occasions. The food is outstanding from start to finish. Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. Have an extensive wine list and many nonalcoholic options available. I really enjoyed the meatballs, the winter salad, the beef tenderloin and the brown butter crème brûlée. My date enjoyed the calamari, the beet salad and the radiatore with duck confit. Overall, an excellent meal and would highly recommend this restaurant-one of the Burgh’s finest.

We had new years brunch here and it was my first time. They were short staffed so I was expecting long delays but the waitress was fantastic, and very knowledgeable, and there were no delays. We shared the pierogis and the salad to start and both were fantastic. Everything is made in house and from local ingredients. The burger, chicken sandwich and pork chop were also top notch. It’s clear they are passionate about quality. We will definitely be back!
