    I was supposed to have lunch in a different place and saw Ricarda's on my way there. When I got to the place I really didn't like it and made a quick reservation to Ricarda's. I am so glad I did! The staff was wonderful, the place was beautiful, prices were approachable and I could talk to my friend instead of shouting over music. Really loved it, I would 10/10 recommend

    The place is beautiful, unfortunately the food was not the best, the salad wasn’t fresh, tasted moldy and the espresso martini tasted like water down coffee, the service was also not the best, jazz band was amazing.

    What a fantastic Sunday brunch buffet! There were oysters, shrimp, smoked salmon, and tuna ceviche at the seafood cold table. The grill had lobster, short ribs, scallops wrapped with bacon, and chicken skewers. Charcuterie meats and cheeses were plentiful. It’s rare to find bresaola. For the breakfast food selection you could choose eggs cooked to your liking, bacon, sausages, and potatoes. Waffles and crepes at another station with a variety of toppings. For the healthy choices there were salads, grilled vegetables, smoothies, etc. Several baked items were available. Desserts were presented in small portions which is a great idea. Less waste and more opportunities to try different things. The pastries were the only disappointment for me. The croissants were not flaky. Everything else was great! Thank you for the wonderful service.
