This may have been the best meal I've ever had. I know the crescent cake with vanilla ice cream was the best thing I have ever eaten ever in my life.

Update: while Manresa has closed, the staff of Ritual at Manresa keep the dream alive. Every month a new chef brings their creativity and excellence to share their specialty with those lucky enough to reserve. We've attended two of the recent meals and were amazed by both, but I was completely blown away by tonight's trout and wine pairing. Absolutely sublime pairing.

If you get a chance and want to really treat yourself or that special someone, reserve a meal here. You won't be disappointed .

The dinner I bought tickets to was advertised as an Alex Atala dinner. A Michelin 2-star chef. I believed, like other dinners of this caliber I might take a photo with the chef, give him a gift, and possibly have him sign something. I paid $1,000 per person.
I was very upset to learn that Chef Alex was in Brazil. He is/was not present at the restaurant for his whole last week at Ritual. It’s like buying Taylor Swift concert tickets and her understudy’s understudy performs. It’s not the same, it’s false advertising. His sous chef was the one who was responsible for our meal.
I even asked to switch to a meal he was cooking, and was turned down.

Dining at Ritual is like attending a culinary concert with each chef performing their greatest hits. The menu felt like a journey through the seasons with dishes that were as beautiful as they were delicious. I especially loved the attention to detail in the presentation and the thoughtful wine pairings. It's not just dinner–it's an experience!

The winner in terms of best value for a Michelin 3 star restaurant in the Bay Area. Fantastic food in a relaxed atmosphere that seemed to not take itself too seriously while still being of exceptional quality. That is challenging. Too often service here can feel stuffy and overdone, but it struck a perfect balance of being cordial and convivial without being chummy.

The food represented an extremely fresh selection of local fare with truly delightful baked goods, breads, and small bites. The main courses were somewhat unexceptional, sort of blending in among the crowd - but none of us dining really minded. It wasn't a strike against in any way. The plates themselves were playful without being overly gaudy, which I think reminds me of some of New York's more artistic offerings in the culinary space.

Nothing felt out of place, although some flavors just weren't very striking. The richness of savory dishes was subtle, artful, not aggressive on the tongue. Everything here wouldn't offend a sensitive palette, and it felt as though the kitchen staff didn't have to spend 7 hours on plating - like they do at some places.

I think it's wonderful that 3 Michelin stars can settle here in the South Bay and that reviewers don't REQUIRE more pretention. Manresa is delightful and if I were worth 8 figures I'd be dining here regularly, as if this was a neighborhood gem. Just a splendid atmosphere.

Manresa knocked it out of the park for my 40th birthday.  We had an amazing seafood-driven dinner, course after course.  The cuisine was phenomenal, the presentation was impressive, and the service was as good as I’ve experienced anywhere.  It was a lot of food, but thankfully we were able to enjoy each course.  The drink & wine pairings were also top notch.  It was well worth the 3000 mile journey from Maine.

I signed up for a trial membership last May in the hopes of attending a chef meet and greet. Their sign up page sucks though, and I never got any confirmation that I successfully signed up. 30 days later, I get a charge on my credit card. I never received a receipt, invoice, or any communication at all regarding the status of my "membership." Nothing in my spam folder. I never consented to anything. I reach out to them to get this resolved but have heard NOTHING. I've disputed the charges but they keep charging me monthly since then. I've had to deactivate my card for it to stop. Same with another reviewer here, what they're doing is illegal.

I signed up and paid for the membership for several months until I had my first dinner. The experience was decent and I was still deciding whether this was something I'd like to be a part of as the monthly experiences could fall on the week that I'm out of town. But I kept the membership anyways. I recently booked dinner with a Thai guest chef for this Saturday's (August 23) experience. I emailed them over 8 days ago because I needed to change the date (their policy is to give 7 days notice). I have since emailed them four times with no replies., no response whatsoever. I also called and nobody answers the phone either. So my dinner this Saturday will be forfeited ($600/per person). I'm not happy about this lack of communication. I'm now trying to cancel the monthly membership all together and doubt I will get a confirmation for that.

I had a bad experience on the reservation process. I made a reservation and was not informed that it was contingent on buying a membership. A week before the reservation I was informed that I had to buy a membership to be able to attend. I would never consider going there again and have asked to be removed from their mailing list.

Our most recent dinner at Ritual At Manresa was pleasantly far different than the first one. The food, Peruvian in this case, was still very good although would say lacked some of the bold flavors of the previous Indian chef. Speaking of chef it was nice to meet the chef in person. The wine selection was much better with far more fitting our taste preferences. The service was so much better this time with good pace and much better communication. Nice they they remembered some of our preferences. The ambiance is still the same but a bit on the cool side temperature wise and music wasn't as lood which was good. So happy things are looking up and prior visit was just an anomaly.

This is definitely not a new concept, as I have really come to love Lord Stanley (SF)'s rotational concept during the pandemic and shortly thereafter. While the OG Manresa is no more, there is now a featured restaurant from somewhere around the world, every month or so. Yes, it's Michelin pricey, but imo it's even more pricey to fly around the world to try out these restaurants and I might not even manage to visit because of timing and season. If you get a subscription ($95 a month as of writing), you will be able to book your table earlier with more availability. We made a pact with some friends, sharing the subscription and going as much as we can. So far, we've had some excellent meals, ranging from Brazil (a large ant as the first appetizer course is definitely unforgettable!), London, to our own NYC. They also offer excellent non-alcoholic pairings, and depending on the restaurant of the month, those are sometimes better matched with the food than the wine pairing (imo). Luxury is hard to define nowadays. They have remodeled this restaurant into a space that is... interesting looking (like a cave inside) but I'm unsure about it. I also have a gripe with their theatre seats -- hard to move and get into, especially when dressed up. Otherwise, nothing else in the decor or service is really exceptional comparing to other nice restaurants in the area, or even comparing with Manresa of the past. The staff is fantastic and you'll get to chat with the travelling staff, but they've had to iron out some kinks from earlier on. I look forward to seeing them mature in this space; and definitely very thankful to have had some interesting and delicious cuisines here! And yes, I did enjoy the ant, it tasted just like lemongrass.

What some people who are rating low, is the concept. Ritual is a treasure in the fact that they bring a new Michelin awarded restaurant to the neighborhood each month. Yes each pop up is vastly different than the previous - herein lies the beauty! Not over-priced if you value the experience. We've been to each one since they opened and there are some I have enjoyed more than others but that's entirely the point!

Avoid or you will pay forever. We didn't sign up for a membership. We attended a "free" event and then the credit card charges started. We can't stop them despite phone calls, emails. All go unanswered for months. Nothing. Just another recurring unwanted membership charge the following month. We disputed with American Express, only for the restaurant to say "they signed up" with no signature. No proof of consent. Shameful. It is so sad to see such unethical behavior from once was one of our favorite places, Manresa, and Chefs, David.

I arrived with no expectations as my wife had booked the meal. However, in the pre-meal briefing room they hyped it up describing how they had gotten their second star and had hopes for a third in the future. The ambience was certainly on point with well decorated and unique entry rooms. The dining room was also quiet and comfy. The service was 5 star and staff was very friendly. Unfortunately, the food didn't hold up as well. Presentation was great and dishes looked very nice. However, nothing was particularly memorable or flavorful. Best dish was the chicken which was accompanied by a chicken bun inside a cute ceramic chicken that traveled all the way from Scotland. The chefs switch every month so your meal may be very hit or miss. Kind of a pricey meal to leave to a lottery.

In April 2025, we gave them our credit card to HOLD our late May 2025 reservation. We received a "Terms & Condition" stating that all sales are final, there are no refunds, and changes in reservation are done if available. We got a confirmation for our reservation and then a statement that the system would only allow reservations for their members, since they would be implementing a membership for their pop-ups. We called and confirmed our reservation did not require the membership since it was made prior to this new change to members only. We went to the meal and it was an experience but it was NOT one of the best meals that we have had. Fast forward to summer and I see we are being charged $292 a month for membership for Rituals @ Manresa!! I was shocked because we had confirmed we did not require membership for the existing reservation prior to going and that we were not members. We called and emailed Rituals @ Manresa to no avail. ONLY AFTER WE FILED A CREDIT CARD DISPUTE DID WE GET AN EMAIL. Their email claimed we did sign up for the membership!!! We never signed anything, nor did we check any boxes in an email to confirm that we wanted to be members! We scoured our trash and spam folders--- where we found an email in SPAM folder from Rituals@Manresa stating that they were GIVING US A "TRIAL MEMBERSHIP", which would convert to a regular membership! Please note- THAT WAS/ IS ILLEGAL & UNAUTHORIZED USAGE OF OUR CREDIT CARD! I implore anyone who made reservations prior to May 20, 2025 to check their credit card statements for this unwanted membership. This activity of acting in bad faith of collecting credit card numbers specifically for reservations and then charging those credit cards without the cardholder's consent for their membership is ILLEGAL! This could be grounds for a lawsuit against Rituals @ Manresa; possibly a class action lawsuit if there are three or more parties willing to go to court.
