The food was good. I went for lunch the staff was very friendly and our drinks were Instagram worthy. The inside is so beautiful. If you're looking for a cool experience I would definitely go here.

Came for brunch to celebrate a birthday & was not disappointed! This place is so cute, so clean, & might be the best place for bottomless mimosas! They weren't premixed and they had a few options for juice! They brought you a small flight of juices & a glass of champagne where you could add as little or much as you wanted! This was definitely worth the money & time! The food was delicious! The deviled eggs are always good, and my shrimp & grits was also good. Not the best I've had but their spin on the dish was good! We also ordered the Crab Benedict, Monte cristo, and breakfast tacos. Everyone loved their dish! Our server was fantastic! So nice & attentive! She was so fun & personable! We will definitely be back!

Date night on a Friday, made reservation and were seated on time by the host. Our waiter Tanay was awesome, patient and took care of us all evening. We had the garlic hummus as an appetizer and it comes with carrots, cucumber and naan. Very tasty and shareable For dinner had the iceburg wedge, truffle fries and roasted beet arugula salad. All the dishes were well presented and tasted very good. The Manager also stopped by twice to check on us. Great atmosphere and service, awesome place downtown.

From the moment you walk into this restaurant, you know you're in for something special. The decor is amazing. Such a well done fusion of classic meets modern meets Asian. The chandeliers in the bar are spectacular and the wicker swings in the front create a fun Tropical vibe. The tables are well spaced giving enough room in between to move around easily for both the servers and the patrons. But what about the food? Well I've got to return to adequately comment on the entrees because this was a pre-theatre dinner, we wanted to keep it light. So mostly we had soups and salads and cocktails. The cocktail menu is quite interesting, but I settled on one called Spa Day. It was light, and refreshing and would have been great to sip by the pool or on a beach. It was cucumber vodka, elderflower liqueur, coconut water, lime, and agave. Garnished with cucumbers and an orchid! Plus it was a beauty to look at as well as sip. I had the She Crab Bisque and it was as good as any in the Carolina's. Creamy, briny and delicious. I wanted to lick the bowl! Two others at our table had the French Onion Soup and both commented on how cheesy (in a good way) it was. Next up were the dumplings. Two of us shared them and it was the perfect amount to satisfy. They were also very yummy. Salads and the gnocchis were the next course. My daughter marveled at the gnocchi. She eats them often at restaurants and she said these rivaled the ones she loved at the old Papa J's in Carnegie. Those of us having salads chose the mixed greens or the Caesar. They were just the right amount and were very good. We ordered the side bread board to accompany our salads and there was a nice selection of cheesy breads, multi seeded pretzels and soft chewy breads served with two different compound butters. One sweet, one savory. Lastly we shared the dessert we came here for, the pretzel salad. Zoe does this classic in a new and fabulous way and it was not at all what I was expecting. Same flavors as Gram's but in a modern presentation. Fabulous! Our server was very nice and kept our water glasses full and brought us plates or silverware if we needed anything. Overall, it was a most pleasant dining experience. And I definitely need to return either for dinner or to try the brunch.

We came here for Sunday brunch to celebrate my niece's birthday and had a great time! The food and service were excellent and they went above and beyond for her birthday. They brought out a complimentary cupcake and cotton candy appetizer with a sparkler for her birthday - she loved it! I highly recommend the deviled eggs, BLT, and carrot cake pancakes - delicious!

Ritual House is the quintessential picture when you think of an upscale, urban restaurant! Upon entering, you are embraced with wooden swings and a wall of boxwood that makes for an excellent photo op! It really sets the tone for the vibe of the restaurant! As an added bonus, there are chandeliers hanging over the bar, and the entire restaurant has an urban vibe to the core! The service was spot on. Our waitress was attentive and helpful. The seating can be super close so much so that you can hear the conversations of the tables next to you. However, our waitress easily was able to communicate with us! We started out the meal with the bread board because why not?!? I love that the bread came with a few different kinds and different butter flavors. I had the salmon dish with apples & mashed potatoes. The portion was small but the flavor was unique and delicious! I'm looked forward to trying many dishes here as well as brunch and desserts. I've heard good things about both, and after this meal, I know that I won't be disappointed!

So this was actually my 2nd experience here, the first time was for dinner. This was brunch. I will actually say that I enjoyed my food at dinner more. However, this was still extremely good. Especially the oranges!! Also, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND asking for Stephen as your server. He was absolutely hands down the best part of the entire experience with my friends. This was a Galentine's Day brunch for 5 of us! Crab cake Benedict - good but honestly nothing special to me. Potatoes weren't seasoned very well. But a few of us got it and I think they all enjoyed it more than I did. Brûlées oranges - absolutely my favorite thing I tried!!!!! So different but so good. Tart and balanced, Drinks: Kylie drink was good but it's only for Valentine's Day. Also had a beani-tini. That was decent, but not the best I've ever had. And it was very pricey. What my friends got that I tried: carrot cake pancakes, potato latkes, grits. My friend LOVED the pancakes. Like she raved about them. The potato latkes were good but again nothing super special. Grits were cheesy and good too. The carrot cake was absolutely massive....however it was $18. So you could definitely get it and share it between like 4 people truly. It's like half a cake lol. Overall, it's such a beautiful place. And designed super well. I'd come back but probably not for brunch. My favorite upscale brunch place is still The Commoner, hands down.
