    Beautiful restaurant and location, friendly staff. Went for my wife’s birthday. Started off at the bar and my wife had their specialty drink the siren with tequila - could taste hardly any alcohol on it but maybe that’s by design. We then moved to the patio for dinner, I had the seafood cioppino, it was good, my wife had the seafood tower appetizer for her dinner. Unfortunately when it arrived it was incomplete, the server didn’t explain what seafood dips were what and neglected to give us the assortment of special shrimp toast points, plantains and crackers that came with it, if I didn’t see another patron at the bar get the seafood dip appetizer I would never have known what was expected.. when asked, our main server apologized then brought the assortment but didn’t know what the dips were or how it was supposed to be served. Oh well. The oysters were flavorless and whoever shucked them didn’t know what they were doing, hardly any had juice in the oyster, half a tiny lobster tail on top of the tower and a doz medium shrimp not jumbo shrimp, we’ve had seafood towers at other fine restaurants and this was just disappointing, would never order it again! When the bill came I was surprised they charged 145 for it. Kinda ruined what could have been a great evening.

    We were a party of 4 dining here for the first time. We loved the ambiance and the beautiful Christmas decorations. We were waited on by Lyle who provided exceptional service. Everyone’s drinks, appetizers, entrées and desserts were amazing.

    The lobster cobb salad was quite bland. The cold lobster lost its flavour and the bacon pieces were so hard, it was difficult to chew. Tomatoes had little taste. The salad must have been pre-made and served right out of the refrigerator.

    This place had impeccable service. They paid attention to an allergy in my party, and were able to accommodate, including a special dairy-free dessert for someone celebrating a birthday. Kumar, you were a rock star! Food was great. Enjoyed the shishito peppers, short rib, and tripletail. Clean plates all around. The cocktails are on the pricey end, but justified by their quality. Beautiful views of the bay, amazing outdoor fireplace ambience, and easy access to the courtyard for a post dinner stroll (you’ll need it). Only caveats, the Ritz has weddings in the adjacent event space pretty much every weekend, so the curated DJ list is potentially drowned out by partiers. Be prepared to say “what?” a lot.

    Poor, inattentive waitstaff. Two place settings were missing knives. Very few diners, but bar patrons were quite loud. It took forever for someone to take our order. I finally had to go looking for someone to get our server. Then the Order came wrong out of the kitchen. We were supposed to have 2 salads and 1 fish and chips. We were served 1 salad and 2 fish and chips. Again, the server disappeared. I went looking for him to clear our dirty dishes. He cleared some, left the rest and again vanished. I went looking for him yet again. This pattern continued looking for the rest of the plates to be cleared, getting the dessert menu, and finally the check. As for the food, the main course was good. The desserts were also good. But the service was a real deterrent to going back.
