The restaurant is beautiful, the food is good... However I agree with the others: it's definitely overpriced. A way too much overpriced. The service and the food, the presentation of it should be elevated.

I was super underwhelmed. Perhaps I ordered wrong but for the price and location, I was expecting a lot more. The cheese plate was very good, delicious options and a honey foam that was really interesting. The tuna tartare was just average. The salad was good, but a overdressed. Overall, a lot of room for improvement.

The food looked beautiful and so was the restaurant. Everything tasted fine, but wasn't anything special, or even memorable, particularly for the high price. I went on a Saturday night and only 4-5 tables were occupied, which should've been an indocator. Again the food was ok but for the cost, you won't get nearly your money's worth. The only exception was the chocolate dessert, which was wonderful.

Horribly understaffed! You wouldn’t expect such a bad service when you’re staying/eating at the Ritz, specially for their overpriced meals and their imposed high service / large table tax! One would think they’re more understanding when having 3 babies on the table… not even a piece of bread!
