The food was very delicious and the service was top notch. I was staying at Ritz Carlton for a short getaway and I was craving for dessert at 1045pm so I went downstairs to grab one. Apparently the kitchen was closing in 15 mins but the waiter still put in my order of crème brûlée and even let me order food for take out. The smile was on the face of the waiter the entire time serving even tho they were closing within the hour. Even when the food was take out the presentation was still amazing and the taste was delicious ! I really like the katsu sando.

Do not eat here. They are okay with employing child abusers. Brian Smith is a child abuser.

We actually are there twice! We had cocktails at night with apps. The truffle fries are to die for and the buratta with pistachio and peaches was delish! The service was EXCELLENT.. very attentive but not intrusive. Nice atmosphere with live music. Breakfast did not disappoint either. Very tasty eggs Benedict.. one with the crab and one without... prob the best I've ever eaten. Service again was outstanding!

It's the Ritz. The service is awesome the food is good, over priced but you are paying for service. And the picture opportunities are everywhere. Also conveniently located at the Tysons gallery. Valet parking for the mall is priceless.

The food and service were excellent. We had the Lobster Benedict which was perhaps the most delicious Benedict I have tried. Our waiter, Ismael, was professional, friendly, and anticipated every element of service.

Got a drink and tuna tartare. Service was a little slow and I was sitting on the bar alone.

Honestly not really sure what the hype was for this place because the food and service were definitely on PAR with what you would expect at a nice restaurant, especially one that is associated with such a high end hotel. The ONLY saving grace were the cocktails but even then seemed a little over priced. The menu offers unique cocktails that featured ingredients like eucalyptus and rosemary so those are a must try. They also have your standard cocktails so there is definitely something for everyone. The restaurant itself is beautiful and the decor is welcoming which usually adds to a great experience. Unfortunately, the service was incredibly slow (waited over 30 mins to order and 30 mins to get the check) and when it comes to the food, I couldn't really tailor any of the entrees almost as if they were premade. I originally wanted to try the chicken biriyani but wanted to alter the spice level because the waiter had warned me that the entree was really spicy. After learning that I couldn't alter the spice level, I went with the braised beef short rib which I thought would be a safe option. The meat was not very tender and bland and the mash potatoes and broccolini was also very bland. We also got the pasta with lobster and again it had little to no flavor. We couldn't finish either entree which is rare because we are big eaters. The highlight of the night when it comes to food was the Ceasar salad. It was dressed pretty well with big croutons, Cheese, and dressing and the veggies were crisp. The tomatoes were an unusual addition but it worked. This is an okay option if you are looking for a drink but I'd pass on the food for sure.

Overall pleasant...*almost* very good. Sat at the bar for drinks and a light lunch. The food was very, very good: fries light and crispy, not too thick, skin-on which I love, and the accompanying aioli was truffle-y and salty. Yum! The smoked salmon exceeded expectations. It arrived as a deconstructed bagel with a generous serving of salmon and the toppings nicely arranged separately. The bagel was toasted nicely, but I wished for everything or onion toppings...does anyone eat a plain bagel? Arugula salad fresh and appealingly dressed with crunchy, fresh cucumber chunks. Both dishes featured genuinely delicious tomatoes--if not farm-grown, they sure tasted that way. A rare pleasure. Where things fell down was the service. We waited a long time at every stage despite the bar being never more than half full. Even water refills had to be politely requested. The server asked me how I wanted my salmon cooked--they thought it was the Brunch menu--and our cocktails were slow to show. The cocktails were generally good. Entyse isn't alone in the sin of giant ice balls in drinks. I'm not sure anyone really likes them. The drinks we ordered with bitters, or bitter liquors such as Aperol, arrived tasting astringent and needing a few minutes to mix with the ice. There's a reason almost every cocktail on earth is made with a smaller form of ice cubes; the liquors often need a bit of softening to mix well and present a smooth taste. Minorly irritating: the menus state that smartphone conversations at the bar are a no-no, but some guy was yammering away on his tablet a few seats down from us without any staff mentioning anything. Overall, the kitchen's doing great, but the bar and the service need to step up. I would revisit but certainly never at a busier time.

Stayed here for the weekend food is great and service is attentive we came for breakfast lunch and dinner and had no complaints the menu is very varied and well executed. There's live music on Saturday night the place was rocking with great cocktails. Ambiance is great for date night!!
Ordered four dish. None of them barely reached satisfaction. How can they mess up traditional and classic dishes?

The food here is good. Nothing spectacular, but it meets expectations. For a restaurant inside the Ritz, the pricing isn't bad. It was more affordable than I expected. We ordered the braised beef short rib ($35) and side of truffle parm fries ($11). We had a $30 credit to use for our stay as Marriott Titanium Elite members. Our waiter was super friendly and answered all our questions. I believe the beef they serve is grass-fed, so that's a plus. But also something you would expect at the Ritz. There was live music until 10:30pm on the Saturday night we were there. I was wearing a hat, T-shirt, joggers and sneakers, so I felt underdressed but it wasn't a problem being seated. They gave us some complimentary warm toasted almonds and olives as well as warm toasted but soft on the inside focaccia bread w/ side of butter. Some parts of the short rib were overly saucy and other parts were a bit dryer, but it was still a very good dish. You also can't go wrong with truffle parm fries. If you are staying at the Ritz in Tysons, this is a great option if you don't want to leave the hotel.

I believe that the only reason why this place is in business is because it is connected to the ritz and it gives guest the social validation that they are somebody/ they can flex. It is tucked in the ritz and if you are entering from the Galleria it would be where Cartiers entrance used to be. The restaurant is put together but the band that was there was so loud I could barely hear my server, I am also not geriatric old so I'd like to think I have pretty good hearing. The food is horrendous. I got a lobster pasta and it came out like soup which was very confusing. On taste it was 0/5 I ate it because I was famished from shopping all day and all the other restaurants had a 30-40 minute wait. I usually order quite a few things when I go out to try a place but I did not here. I did end up getting an espresso for dessert and I said to myself "this taste like a nespresso" come to find out they served me a nespresso. At this point I'm just over it.

Pork belly tastes fantastic, really tender, it’s melting in my mouth. Short ribs is good
