Service is amazing the waiter and manager were amazing. My friends and I arrived after making reservations for high tea @ 9:30am. When we arrived turned out they didn’t have high tea until 11:00 so the manager let us know we were too early. We said no worries we will order breakfast and then have the high tea when it’s ready. Keep in mind the normal high tea is like $35 dollars. Manager came back and said they don’t have high tea during the week only on weekends. We were bummed since our friend was visiting, manager came back and asked how many high teas we wanted we said only one now since we are lobster eggs Benedict. They said okay we can see what the chef can prepare. Waiter comes out with three high teas later. Truly amazing but we only wanted one.
The only bad thing is Bill comes and we are charged $86 dollars for the high tea when they didn’t tell us there was a price difference. I do feel like the manager or at least the waiter should have told us that the high teas were going to be $86 dollars. Our lunch per person was $199.00 this could the most expensive lunch I’ve had. Make sure you ask questions. Please servers and managers explain that there is a price difference.

I went for a friends birthday & it was amazing! Service was great! I never wanted for anything & they were so nice. The food was so delicious! I had the chicken & waffles (chicken well done as I requested) ♥️ The Flor De Sol cocktail was very good! The service was my favorite but the food was definitely worth every cent. I don't think the cake came from them but I don't know, it was tasty as well 😋 I had a side of bacon as well & it was cooked perfectly! Thank you to this company for providing excellent service!

Can't brag on the service enough. Everyone was absolutely incredible. The staff was kind, attentive, and accommodating to our large group, including 5+ kids. From the hostess to the multiple servers we saw each morning, everyone went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The food was fantastic, the portions generous, and the prices very reasonable given the quality. Highly recommend, especially for families!

Only come here if you want to sit at the bar and have a drink with appetizers at a nice venue. Do not expect more than this.
The server meant well and did a decent job leading up to the birthday cake presentation.
Unfortunately the birthday surprise turned in to a complete flop. A real SNL Debbie Downer moment with a big “Waahh Waahh”.
There were no lit candles, despite having provided the staff with a box of candles.
The cake was lit at the table with one lonely candle.
Then we sat with the cake and stared at it with no way to eat it.
Finally we received plates and utensils but by the time I was able to order coffee, we had finished eating the cake.
The place was very slow. Not sure how the ball was dropped on this. Unfortunately it undermined the entire dining experience.
In addition, this place has no sweet wine of any kind. Not even the most basic Riesling.
I have never been to a relatively high end restaurant, especially, within a Ritz Carlton, that didn’t have some kind of sweet wine. This place should have a Resiling at minimum. It’s such a basic staple for any wine menu.
It’s like saying we don’t have any Chardonnay.

I'm in the state for my bachelorette so huge props to my MOH for choosing this place. We had high tea here. Everything was so pleasant, the service, the food, the atmosphere. I want to return in the future.

The drinks were $25 for crushed ice and a splash of mixer. The desert was better, brought the rating up. There are better options, like a 6 pack.

We enjoyed brunch here during our stay at the Ritz-Carlton, and it was the best brunch we’ve ever had in the US.
We ordered the eggs Benedict and the shawarma hash, both served on large plates at very reasonable prices. The eggs in both dishes were perfectly cooked. The eggs Benedict featured incredibly tender asparagus, while the shawarma hash came with a generous portion of richly flavored lamb and beef. The accompanying naan was also delicious.

Came here for my bridal shower tea. Two guests had nut allergies and were given different tea services to accommodate. However, one of the items in their tray had nuts and caused my friend to have an allergic reaction and was forced to use her EpiPen. The response was unacceptable - especially for being the Ritz. The server did her best to support but the manager refused twice to comp her meal and offered her a free tea for two (to risk her death again- by giving her an indistinct business card with no indication for this promise). Finally after several conversations they comped her meal. If you have an allergy - please be careful.

I made the mistake of attempting to eat here when I was thirsty and hungry. The service could not have been worse if there wasn’t any servers on duty. I received a drink once and in 45 minutes saw the server once, once to order and once to receive the check. There are better options in the area.

Came here for afternoon tea with some girl friends and we had a great experience! Tea and food were nice and service was good too. Ambiance was classy and elegant. It’s a bit pricey but most afternoon tea spots are around here so no complaints.

We took our daughter here for High Tea and we had an amazing time. The staff here was knowledgeable and friendly about the tea and the food had more hits than misses when it came to the spreads. The atmosphere was fine, it's still a hotel restaurant, but the staff and being around other families made warm and inviting.
