"At its core, The Ritz Restaurant is a theatre kid who went to finishing school. There’s the ensemble cast of servers in morning coats, the ties-required, glitzy costumes of the diners, and tableside drama of the flame-throwing persuasion. A ‘Versailles, eat your heart out’ Mayfair dining room serves as the set and everything—the voluptuous, pearl white langoustine on your plate, the light tinkling of piano keys, the blushing blue skyscape hand-painted ceiling—is aggressively beautiful." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
