    So glad CSR introduced us to this place. We went for brunch and loved the menu options--I wanted everything. We had the biscuits and gravy, omelet with shrimp and andouille sausage, and the pastry board. All were fantastic.

    The service is top notch. We got a variety of appetizers and we especially enjoyed the southern spread (crab salad - chef’s kiss)! Shout out to Jacky (not sure if I spelled his name correctly) - he was attentive, knowledgeable, and a pleasure - represents everything you’d expect from a great meal at the Ritz!
