We had brunch here for the first time in December of 2025.
I had the Croque Madame and a hot chocolate with marshmallows.
The food was really good and the service was too.
We got seated quickly and our food was served quickly too. They server took special care with my allergies, which was appreciated.
I gave it 4 stars because brunch (basically an eggs with ham and cheese with a small salad) should not cost $35 per person. Nice place but very pricey.

My recent visit to Cafe Ricardo was a genuine delight. The atmosphere immediately set the tone with a bright, modern aesthetic that felt both elegant and approachable. As for the food, Chef Ricardo's influence is evident in the precision of the dishes; I found the flavors to have pronounced intensity while maintaining a beautiful balance of texture and acidity. The selection offered excellent variety, and the quality was outstanding from start to finish.

Thankfully we got to there just before the lunch rush because noise levels around the table were getting loud as we were leaving. Options on the menu was very light for egg free/vegans.

Laid back cafe with modern food and great coffee.

One of my go-to lunch places. Never disappointed: food is consistently good to great, portions have gotten more generous lately (appreciated by my husband), nice atmosphere where you can hear yourself talking. Service is very friendly and efficient most of the time. At times, the staff seem a bit overwhelmed with providing service both at the counter and in the dining room. I think some extra staff would be of help.
Brought my mom for brunch (96 yo). Accessible. We enjoyed the food the drinks and the service which was just great. Thank you

Slow service, condescending waitress. Ricardo's DNA is to make cooking accessible, but she looks down on us by telling us that our requests are not adequate "we're not at Cora's here". Made the whole table uncomfortable even though we were there for a birthday party.
