    The service was not good unfortunately. I think our server had too many tables so we did not get the attention I expected. Also the food was just ok for the price we paid. My burger was nothing special. My husband’s steak was delicious though. Hopefully they can improve.

    My wife and I were married at the Ritz Carlton 25 years ago and were quite excited to celebrate New Years with friends in the Lobby Lounge. I’m sorry to say everything was barely passable to unacceptable. I realize we are older than the average crowd there but the musical entertainment was weak and terribly out of character for an establishment the level of RC. I expect to pay a good amount at a 5 star location, but the tiny portions and very mediocre food were very disappointing. On top of that, when we were presented with the bill which was to be split, I was charged one half and the other party the full amount. This was remedied of course, but sure didn’t look very good after everything else. Once again, I’m sorry to report this after all my good memories there. I think they can do better.

    stopped for a quick bite before the Michelle Obama event on December 10th. I drove in from Marin & had tire pressure issues (screw in my tire I learned later). I contacted the lobby bar through OpenTable because Inwas running late. I want to personally thank Mr Daniel Delgado the food & beverage manager who was concerned with my safety on that rainy night. I will recommend the Ritz to all my friends and relative across the pond the next time they come to visit

    Celebrated my husband's birthday at the lounge with an overnight stay at the Ritz. Our server was Stephanie and another young lady who's name I don't remember but is equally deserving of recognition. Everyone we encountered helped to make the event memorable. The food was delicious. Stephanie recommend the Cauliflower appetizer. Who new Cauliflower could taste so good. Portion sizes are small, but filling.

    From the high end service and the host who are very professional and offered us a complimentary champagne and snacks due to late check in even though we don’t mind at all waiting, we had so much fun with my boyfriend who is celebrated his birthday with a classic surprised that they pay attention to my notes for him. Thank you so much and will be back again soon! ❤️

    Food Service was a bit slow. Service at table was attentive, polite and I was very appreciative they showed up for work. Enjoyable evening and really good food. My husband had the burger and French fries, he was pleased, I had the squid ink pasta w/seafood. Was good and the seafood tasted fresh. Thank you for showing up to work and a nice evening out.
