    That was the best Easter buffet brunch ever. The food was excellent, service was great and compared to Some of the classic hotel easter brunches the price was better. We will turn this into an annual tradition

    We had a terrible experience. We were really excited to try the jazz brunch and the food as it looked wonderful on their website. Unfortunately, the service was so bad it made the entire brunch disappointing and when we left we were still ready for more food. No one should ever leave an establishment hungry because they can’t get service to order more. We actually had a reservation for Easter brunch that we have cancelled after today’s experience.

    Bruch selection is very good, quality and quantity are both good with an assortment of salad, eggs, and sourdough bread. Service is attentive and the restaurant seating is very comfortable. Our party of 5 had a great time there.

    Amazing service! Chose Ricarda’s for our 40th anniversary brunch and were treated with an expected glass of champagne to celebrate. Food was excellent as was the atmosphere, including upbeat but not overbearing music. Thanks Ricarda’s for making our day special!
