The food and service was great. Although the restaurant is very expensive, it was very good. The mixed drinks were good, but not great. Thei strength is in their service and entrees. We started with the French onion soup and crab bisque. Both were excellent. We also had a glazed salmon dish, Chilean sea bass, and asian chicken. All three were excellent as well. Definitely a nice restaurant to try if you haven't had the opportunity to do so.

We love coming here! We have been here a couple times - Got a cute table by a window on the second floor. The place always has good vibes everyone seems genuinely happy to be there. Our server Ava was so sweet and friendly! She made our daughter feel so grown up for her birthday! The steaks were cooked perfectly and our apps, drinks/movktails and deserts were so yummy! The mocha cup ganache was definitely enough for the 3 of us to share. The birthday surprise is always so fun and the decor is adorbs. Even parking is close at the Oliver garage.

Came here somewhat on a whim for brunch on our honeymoon. Made reservations for a Saturday around 10. Probably didn’t need the reservations but nevertheless from the minute we walked in to the minute we left the service was stellar and the staff was alert and friendly. Asked all the right questions about allergies and preferences and gave us a very comfortable amount of time to read the menu and make selections without feeling rushed. Once the food came everything was perfect, very tasty, and we had zero problems. Never felt that I was without drink and never felt like I was waiting for our server to remember us. There’s a couple reviews mentioning dress. I think the location and style lends itself to the visitors of both the will-penn and Monaco hotels. It’s pretty safe to assume that you will see resort casual especially for brunch. I would say this style matches the blend of upscale but still casual that the building and staff give off.

A wondrous dining experience! The decor was mesmerizing, and the service was impeccable! That being The Fried Burrata had a bit too much sauce for my taste, the Ritual Cheesesteak was underseasoned, and we didn't like the texture of the noodles in the Power Bowl very much. The manager was very kind and courteous and allowed my cousin to swap his plays for the Ritual BLT. The sandwich was amazing! Definitely recommend trying it out 👍

We sat at the bar and ordered a bunch of items. Develed eggs - normal, exactly as you'd expect, Brulée oranges - refreshing and interesting, do yourself a favor and order these. Crab fondue - tasty and hits the spot. Pork dumplings - meh, they were ok. Steamed and soggy, nothing too amazing. Fried green tomatoes - tasted more like a blooming onion from that steak restaurant. Which meant it tasted good, just didn't taste like a tomatoe... So did that mean it missed or hit the mark? Halibut (entree) - it was ok. Steamy hot, but no real pop of flavor. Pork roast - fell off the bone, good meat. Lavendar lemon drop - tasted just like a sugary lemonade from the carnival. Which hit the spot on this hot day! Strawberry pretzel salad - AMAZING! From the presentation to the taste. We probably weren't going to come back but we will make a special drip to just order 2 plates of these next time! Some coconut desert cake mascarpone thing. Underwhelming when compared to that outstanding strawberry pretzel salad. Some Cereal desert cocktail - they were going for cinnamon toast crunch but it was more just vanilla liquor with way too much cinnamon dusting. Honestly, they should have served it in a shorter glass on a plate and decorated the plate with actual cinnamon toast Crunch cereal spread around the plate and it would have been awesome.. Instead it was served in a martini glass and confused me. We ate at the bar, which got us quick attentive service all night. They have a valet, $15. Too convenient not to use it.

This was our first visit to Ritual House … we’ll definitely go back. The service was great, the food was fantastic, and the atmosphere made us feel like we were somewhere special. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great brunch!

Came in for my birthday brunch and Natalie gave us such a sweet experience! We got smoked salmon starter (🤤), the quiche of the day, and the crème brûlée waffle (🤩)! Everything was delicious with gorgeous presentation and Natalie was on top of everything, including my surprise birthday dessert!

Weekend getaway to Pittsburgh and we had nothing but bad luck for the most part with service and food quality. That changed at Ritual House. Our server Maddie was amazing and very friendly and the food was spectacular. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant was also spectacular. This place easily rose to the top of the list of places we ate at this weekend and we will definitely go back if we ever venture to Pittsburgh again

Friday night denner while in PGH for the weekend. This is one of a several places on my punchlist and was happy to book a reservation. We checked in at 8:30 for our reservation and were sat in the front room. Dark accents, Edison clear shade lighting, and a trendy club type atmosphere. We placed a cocktail order to start, with me choosing a campfire old fashioned that had s'mores notes and a marshmallow for a garnish. I liked it a lot - had a nice flavor and sweetness to it. For appetizers we shared an order of the deviled eggs, as well as the crab bisque. The deviled eggs were good - nothing that stood out flavor wise, but the bacon chunks were good and added some saltiness. The crab bisque was very good and was served separately with the soup poured at the table and mixed. I don't really necessarily need that kind of exhibition, but the soup was really good: just wish there was more. Large bowl, small amount of soup. Added a bread board as well to have for our entrees which was good and came with butters and jam. For my entree, I went outside my comfort zone and got the short rib. Large chunk of meat that fell apart when touched with a fork, and a nice sauce and cheesy grits underneath. I really liked this dish, which had great flavors, was presented well, and all the components complemented each other. For dessert, I ordered the pumpkin cheesecake which was a circle rather than a slice. It was good - but more spice than pumpkin flavor to me. Overall - I really liked this place and hope it stays around so we can come back again.

While in Pittsburgh on business, we stopped by Ritual House for drinks and appetizers. This downtown spot exudes a trendy, hipster vibe with a cool, laid-back atmosphere that feels both current and welcoming. The cocktails were excellent, well-crafted and balanced. We also tried their house-made chips, which had a satisfying crunch but could've used a touch more seasoning. Ritual House is definitely worth a visit, especially for a happy hour outing. We'd happily return the next time we're in town.

My friend and I went to dinner at Ritual House before a concert at PPG arena. The service was amazing! Our waitress was very attentive and the manager made a point to come around and ask everyone about their experience. The food came out super quick. The drinks were delicious. The food was exceptional. The restaurant was huge and super cute on the inside.

The blueberry lemon pancakes were really good! It was sweet, but not overly so. The pancakes were nice and fluffy and the berries were fresh. I had a side of eggs too. The service was great. She checked on us throughout brunch and was very sweet. She gave good recommendations on the food. This place is also decorated very well. Trendy, but eclectic at the same time. A great spot place for brunch.

Service was excellent from Isabella. She was very personable, upbeat, friendly, and helpful with the menu. The bloody ritual was very tasty. My wife had an espresso martini when she enjoyed. I had the shrimp and grits, which were very good. Shrimp were Cooked nicely, unfortunately the grits were very dry and clumpy. She had the classic eggs Benedict. The potatoes were outstanding, while one egg was cooked perfectly, The other one was hard. the ham was very odd and very much like lunchmeat versus traditional Canadian bacon.

I only came here for a drink with a friend. The ambience was noisy because the space is so open. Drink was alright, nothing I would get again. Service was standard. I will come back to try the food, but my experience was nothing short of basic.

Ritual House was great! My friends and I went to a concert across the street at the William Penn. We had planned to eat there but the wait was insane and decided we needed to go elsewhere. Ritual House had our party of 5 in within 15 minutes. The waitress was running slightly behind so they sent out the manager to get us started so we wouldn't wait too long. The food and drinks were incredible, and we were even treated to their celebration dessert just because we asked what it was! The vibes in there were amazing and we all had a great time!

We stopped by last Monday and sat at the bar for happy hour. The inside is gorgeous as always, especially with all the chandeliers and the flowery waiting area by the front door. I thought the drinks and food were pretty reasonably priced for happy hour. We especially liked the truffle fries. Service was okay for the most part. One of the staff wouldn't allow me to order a spritz tree for me and my friends until one other friend got there. My two friends wanted to take advantage of happy hour and tried to order drinks but were told they had to finish the ones they had first which was strange to me.

Such a great happy hour bar! They have great deals on food and drinks for that post-work drink. The service is excellent every time I'm here. The girl crush cocktail was delicious! Definitely on the sweeter side but not over the top.

A few girlfriends and I visited Ritual House on a Monday evening for happy hour. We were able to find seats at the bar very easily and were quickly greeted by the bartenders. It took no time at all to get our drink and food orders in. However, that is where my overall positive comments end. While the aperol spritz tree is a great deal at $25 for four full-size drinks, I felt mine was overly bitter. We also split a martini tree at one point, and we were informed that not only did the martini tree only come with three drinks (there were four in the pictures) but they were also out of some of the options listed on the menu. We ended up just doubling up on one of the flavors. Our food came out relatively quickly, but I didn't find any of it to be very good for the price. I went with truffle fries and the flatbread of the week-- a braised short rib flatbread-- and both left much to be desired. The truffle fries came with truffle flavored oil, not actual truffle oil. The flatbread was very thin and relatively small, with not much meat on it. I don't feel it was worth $22 at all. The service was good and the décor is chic, but the food and drinks were very underwhelming. I would probably only return if someone else really wanted to go there.

Perhaps we should have come for brunch. I chose this restaurant for a birthday dinner. Valet $15. Handicap accessible with an elevator to reach all three levels (2 short sets & 1 long set of stairs). Wild Turkey and Southern Comfort aren't available. Comparing the looks of the octogenarian to the rest of the party didn't go over well. The fried green tomatoes with green goddess dressing were very good. The crab cakes weren't impressive. The whipped potatoes were very creamy. The serving spoon was huge. The medium filet was enjoyed. The octogenarian's dessert arrived with a sparkler and (made onsite) cotton candy. The orange sherbet was refreshing.

This review is long due! We got seated immediately upon arrival in the dimly lit interior. I got a patio punch mocktail for drinks and it tasted very sweet. We had the crab fondue for appetizers and it was fantastic! I ordered the Asiago stuffed gnocchi for entree and it tasted great. For dessert, we got the enchanted chocolate cake and it was fantastic. The dessert display came with a candy floss and a torch. The cake was decadent and we loved it. The portion of the cake was huge that we had to box it up. Definitely recommend Ritual House if you're looked for upscale dining!

The service was great! They were very busy but still attentive. They say our group on the sofas and it was a gorgeous view overlooking the rest of the restaurant. I really loved the Avocado Toast, the oven roasted tomatoes were amazing and most importantly, it was so easy to eat with a fork without everything falling apart. My partner liked the short rib Benedict as well. The cocktails/mocktails were a bit sugary and a little warm, but overall not too bad! One of my friends got an aperol spritz and said it was perfect, and very large!

What a fantastic brunch! Inside is beautiful! Probably the most photogenic restaurant I've been in. For a busy Mother's Day brunch, service was excellent! I had an espresso martini and it was delicious. We started with a pear prosciutto flatbread. It had so many layers of flavor. Salty prosciutto, Granny Smith apple and caramelized onions, silky Bree cheese, arugula, and honey. We devoured this! I had an egg white omelette for my meal. It was stuffed with spinach, marinated tomatoes, and feta. Again, fantastic! My wife loved her avocado toast, as well. Delicious brunch, and we can't wait to come back for dinner to try that menu!

Just landed in Pittsburgh for the first time. My Downtown hotel suggest a short walk to the Ritual. Great first night suggestion. I went with the fried Green Tomatoes just because. They were a great starter. I chose the fine crusted herb panko halibut. The cavier cream and lump crab sauce was amazing. My panko crust got a little to over done, but still tasted amazing. The Halibut was cooked perfectly.

Ritual House restaurant and bar serves brunch, lunch, and dinner in a setting with stylish swings, flowers, and chandeliers--and if you are lucky, sparklers and cotton candy. My husband and I ate one dinner here for a late Valentine's celebration. The seating hostess, waiter, and chefs performed their jobs in a timely manner. Here are my ratings for what we ate: Strawberry Shortcake Mocktail - 4.5 stars - This mocktail contained strawberry syrup, coconut milk, and vanilla, and it had a strawberry chunk and cream around the rim. I enjoyed the sweet flavors. Deviled Eggs - 3.5 stars - These deviled eggs were piled high and were topped with smoked paprika and pieces of candied bacon. We liked the bacon but thought that the yolk could have been more flavorful. Crab Fondue - 5 stars - A richly delicious dip contained blue crab, goat cheese, and parmesan cheese. We used fondue forks to dip chunks of bread into this crab-cheese mixture. This appetizer was our favorite food that we ate here, so we recommend ordering it. Beef Short Rib - 3.5 stars - This short rib was a large size, had tender meat, and was accompanied by parmesan grits, onions, and carrots. It was covered with some burgundy-wine demi-glace, but I thought that it needed more seasoning for flavor. Seared Tuna Sashimi - 4.5 stars - My husband ate this entree, and it tasted very good. Slices of tuna were covered in sesame, togarashi, wasabi aioli, sweet soy, pickled ginger, and cucumber. Dessert Sushi Roll - 3.5 stars - This sweet dessert consisted of sushi-shaped lemon-vanilla sponge cake and lemon cheesecake that were filled with red-fruit gelee and passion-fruit gelee. On the side was blueberry syrup. The total price was $150 *plus* a tip. We did not think that the quality warranted the price, but I felt happy to try this restaurant.

The staff make this place especially wonderful. Drea host : kind and helpful with getting a table that was best for me at the end of a long day Emily server : answered questions about restaurant decor, knowledgeable about everything, enthusiastic, made recommendations, checked in at all of the right times Fun vibe and well decorated! Really great for celebrating. Had the orange slices appetizer which was strange since I was alone but wanted to try something totally different. And it was. Very unique dish. I liked it but I think I would have enjoyed it more if it had more goat cheese and if the greens were more substantial. I also had the salmon. The soba noodles were tasty and the salmon was cooked well but I found the dish to be overly sweet, it needed more acid and a different kick to the salmon, maybe a spicy touch to offset the teriyaki and peanut butter. The teriyaki was way too sweet for me.

This place was so accommodating. We had our book club here a couple of Sundays ago and they gave us a private area so far away. Not to mention there were photo ops on the walk alone to our table. Our server,Ruby, was very sweet and helpful. The prices didn't fully make sense to me. My friend ordered The Avocado toast snd it was over $20 for one piece of toast with avocado and an egg on it. I got a creme brulee waffle for $16 and it was amazing. I didn't even come close to being able to finish it. The drinks were great. Next time im going to get a nearby bottomless mimosa so I can sample their mimosas.

Had brunch here about noon on a football Sunday. They were busy but service as quick and efficient. Everyone was please with their food. I had the breakfast tacos. They were good sized and well made. I, however, do expect some kind of salsa on tacos. My son and his partner, ate lunch there earlier in the week and were very pleased with all their dishes.

What an absolute gem of a spot! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the stunning interior--chandeliers, beautiful artwork, and a modern yet inviting ambiance. The service was equally impressive; our server was knowledgeable, attentive, and made excellent recommendations. We started with the deviled eggs, which were perfectly seasoned with bacon on top and the tuna poke with shrimp crackers--fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. My husband thoroughly enjoyed the rich and savory French onion soup, and we shared the smashburger, which was cooked to perfection. Overall, we had a fantastic lunch and will definitely be back. The only downsides were the limited sparkling wine options and the challenge of finding parking, but neither took away from the wonderful experience. Highly recommend!

We attended the Harry Potter themed Chef's Dinner and the staff and services went way beyond my expectations! The experience from start to finish was immersive and filled with details in the private dining area to make you feel like you stepped into the wizarding world. The menu had delicious food and cocktail pairings that were both yummy to consume and fun to capture photos and videos to remember your time. Looking forward to see what Chef's Dinner they offer next!

We were seated in the bar for dinner tonight, which was a pretty good option. The restaurant is 'energetic' (damn loud). We shared the fried green tomatoes (very good) and brûlée oranges (excellent). For an entree we split the lobster mac and cheese. It was good, but a totally ridiculous portion for a single person. Service started well but deteriorated as the night went on, we waited more than 15 minutes to get the check.

We had an incredible experience at Ritual House despite what could have been a logistical nightmare. Our large group arrived in Pittsburgh with multiple flight delays, and we needed a last-minute dinner spot. Not only did Ritual House accommodate us on short notice, but they did so while experiencing severe system issues due to the Amazon shutdown. The manager, Shakur, was phenomenal--calm, gracious, and solution-oriented. Our server (whose name I wish I remembered!) was equally exceptional, juggling staggered orders as people trickled in over time. They handled everything with professionalism and warmth, making sure everyone felt welcomed and taken care of. The food was fantastic, the ambiance was perfect, and the service was above and beyond. Huge thanks to the Ritual House team for turning a stressful travel day into a memorable evening. Highly recommend!

From the moment I stepped into Ritual House, I knew I was in for something special, the atmosphere practically hums with energy, all velvet shadows and golden light, like dinner and a party had a very chic baby. The shishito pepper appetizer was an unexpected knockout (seriously, who knew a pepper could flirt?), and every dish that followed felt like a perfectly timed plot twist: bold, beautiful, and exactly right. The bartenders? Effortlessly cool and clearly alchemists in disguise because each cocktail felt like it had a storyline. (You must try the "Do You Like Scary Movies" cocktail if you're in town for Halloween!) I wasn't just fed, I was entertained in the best way, and honestly, I'm already plotting my return.

In Pittsburgh for a conference and tried out the ritual house. Just wanted drinks and some appetizers and it showed up for us! I got the tuna poke and French onion soup. Both were amazing. The drinks were exquisite and the service was wonderful. Fun, eclectic vibe and cool place to have a lovely dinner - every dish that went by looked yummy! Would recommend

This is my second time here for brunch. And each time was amazing. Both time I got the crème brûlée waffle which is so good. We also got an order of the bacon appetizer which was delicious. My friend got an egg Benedict and added the salmon to it for her food. One of her eggs was overcooked but still delicious. I got the chai spikes latte which was delicious and tasted like fall. I got a side of scrambled eggs which were fine( they were eggs) our potatoes Layla's were over cooked and a little to crunch for me so I just didn't eat them, but my friend liked them so she took them home. Overall I love this place.

Whether you are here for lunch, dinner, or drinks, it is always a fun and unique experience here. The atmosphere is one of the best in the city. They have a lot of different and over the top signature drinks to start off with. For food, you can't go wrong with anything, but some of my favorites are the French onion soup, crab fondue, truffle fries (get a side of their house made ranch), Caesar salad, and Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Their burger is my favorite and one of the best in the city.

Downtown has so many hidden items that we never think are for the masses. What's mistake... The Ritual House Breakfast Brunch and Drink Menu is full of flavor options that tickle the pallet and promote another drink please. As Heather says " How can you go wrong with a place that has over 15 chandeliers over the bar. Service A+ Food A+ Lighting Perfect- Don shy away when asked for a reservation, they made us walk-Ins feel so welcome. Pull up and get in the Porch ( Porch Punch that is) Highly recommended to not pass up!!!!

We have been here for both brunch, and dinner, and I could highly recommend this restaurant. The atmosphere is lovely, pretty much created for guests to take photos of their food. Menu selection is great. Affordable, and the portions were generous. Our first visit included one of their birthday surprises, a cupcake with some sort of sparkler in it - so fun! Our waitress made our experience very memorable. They also offer affordable valet parking.

Ritual House is so unique and so much fun! I went here for my birthday brunch and so glad i did. The restaurant itself is really beautiful and cool. From the decorations to the walls and the ceiling and light fixtures, everything is very eclectic and artsy. They also played really good music. Our waiter was really good. He knew the menu and suggested some really good choices. The food and drinks were really the star of the show. I would have loved to try the whole menu if i could. Everything sounded great and all of our food/drinks were delicious. I want to come back for dinner because that menu looks even better, especially the desserts! The most fun part of this experience was the cotton candy and cupcake they bring you for your birthday, along with one of those sparkler candles. It was just such a memorable and thoughtful experience!

Came about 3:30pm for late lunch but said they switched to dinner menu which was fine. Not very crowded at that time so the bartender doubled as a wait staff which was no problem. overall, ambience was very nice and we were seated promptly. specialty cocktails were excellent. we ordered fried green tomatoes for appetizer which were under cooked and extremely bland with no flavor. I ordered the teriyaki salmon, which was very good. My fiancé ordered crab cakes, which were also underdone and extremely bland as well. I mentioned the blandness of the food dishes above and they asked if he wanted something else but I said no we're just real hungry and just ate it. Except for the specialty cocktails, and my teriyaki salmon , the rest of the food was very bland with no real taste and undercooked. It does have good ambience for a restaurant, but I would not come back again.

It has been quite some time since our first visit, but the ambience and food absolutely blew us away. We did brunch during picklesburgh. Servers were fantastic and everything we ordered was perfectly cooked. Only down side was the price of the bill at the end but worth every penny!

Glad we made a reservation weeks in advance for a Saturday evening. It ended up being Kelsea Ballerini concert night downtown so the place was VERY busy with groups. We ended up getting sat upstairs right by a speaker so it was a little hard to hear. The staff was all very attentive and friendly. The chef came out to ask my vegan friend about some options for her meal, and the manager came to check on us also and was very helpful and kind. The portions were bigger than I expected - great deal for the price. I really enjoyed the shrimp dumplings and the poke. The strawberry mocktail was unfortunately way too sweet and rich so I couldn't finish it. I'm not itching to go back again soon but would definitely recommend checking it out once if you haven't yet!

This restaurant was a home run. Wasn't sure when I got there bcuz the music and noise level were on the high side. We dined upstairs and it seems the speakers are there. Manager was very attentive and turned the music down enough that we could converse easily. Server Alexis was friendly, gracious, and helpful. Drinks ( one cocktail for Mrs NMD and one glass of wine for THE NMD were quickly delivered and hit the spot. Fried green tomatoes. French onion Soup. Asian style fried chicken ( outstanding sauce and perfectly cooked). Brussels sprouts. Very pleasant meal overall. Alexis brought us a couple of cookies to sample as we weren't really going to order any but love the whole Pittsburgh Cookie Table concept. Manager is super friendly and attentive. This was an excellent dinner experience in 'da Burgh ( Pittsburgh).

I chose this place for my birthday and I'm unhappy that I did as it was the main thing I looked forward to but we were rushed the entire time that it felt like greed instead of welcoming service. You're treated like a conveyor line of money for them without anything in return. The staff was helpful in accommodating my party issues as friends had things happen that prevented them from coming but I told her don't wait for them otherwise our first group were only 10 minutes late from our reservation but we only lost 10 mins on our doing to spend $350+ for a dinner we had no time to enjoy. We were rushed from the moment we arrived. I informed the waitress that I can't eat chocolate and the waitress brought chocolate cake for on the house - what? It was useful for a photo, that's it. I don't fault her for the full thing which is why I feel bad but the full experience but I feel that I threw my money in the trash as I was uncomfortable the entire time - I asked the waitress to help the temp as we were SWEATING they must not have a/c (said nothing can be done) & manager (said he'd address idk nothing happened) $100+ per person to sweat and were supposed to be happy with your service? Are you serious? We barely ate a few bites before we were rushed to leave & there were LiTERALLY empty tables upstairs. Then the staff stared at my friends the entire time we were downstairs after rushed out of our table: If I spend this amount of money I expect to enjoy myself & have time to do so which wasn't the case. I'm disgusted and upset. The manager was nice but nothing was attempted to fix anything & it didn't make up for the horrible experience. Food is alright but if you offer an atmosphere and food for a price then meet the experience. Have comfortable temperatures, treat your guests with respect & not like $$ sign. I'm upset & I don't EVER leave this type of review but once before & the waitress isn't entirely at fault but it was the wrong choice. We work hard for our money and this did not give anything in return. Quality service is worth more than filling your schedule. I'm unhappy and it ruined my birthday.

Wow! If I could give more stars I would! My boyfriend and I flew out to celebrate his birthday and this was my first stop and I have NO regrets. The staff and service was AMAZING and a great way to start our trip. Definitely a must visit!

The food was absolutely delicious. We loved the ambiance of the building- it looked like they either had an artist designer or a designer artist. The service was great too! My husband talked about how much he liked the food the next day - that's how much he enjoyed it!

I stumbled upon this place while visiting Pittsburgh and I'm glad I did! It has a nice ambiance and friendly employees. It seems reservations are generally needed, but since I was dining alone I was able to sit at the bar. They were busy so the service was a bit slow, but the bartender was apologetic and otherwise extremely pleasant. I tried to order the house quiche but they were out. Therefore, I ordered the shrimp and grits and I'm glad I did as it was fantastic! It didn't have a lot of shrimp (about three pieces), but the fried eggs were excellently cooked, the grits were delicious, and the potatoes and veggie side medley was a tangy treat to be enjoyed. The beanie-tini vodka expresso martini was also delicious. This was a good choice for me, and I'll venture to say it will be a good choice for you too!!!

High end restaurant downtown Pittsburgh. Reservation is required. Excellent white glove Service, crafty foods served in a very cool ambiance. Price was on a high side but they made a special celebration for my family.
