We came in for the first time for dinner on our anniversary the other night. We didn't have a reservation but the host said luckily she still had a table for us. I decided to try the lemonade with fresh berries for my drink. I'm not sure exactly what was in it, but it definitely didn't taste like lemonade. The prices are pretty high and we decided to split the ribeye. Our waiter was kind enough to bring the entree on two separate plates and still present each plate beautifully as its own. We also shared the savory fig cheesecake as our appetizer. Everything tasted excellent and was more than enough food for us!

We went for my bfs bday. I made a reservation and they put us at a tiny table for two. We ordered two sushi rolls each and the crab cake tower. The crab cake was probably one of the best I’ve ever had but it wasn’t very big at for the price. The sushi was excellent but again not very big for the price. They did bring out a desert with a candle for my bf which was really nice. Excellent restaurant that I’d recommend.

The food here is amazing and such great quality. Every staff member is kind and helpful, even when suggesting dishes! I just went to their Mother’s Day brunch today with my grandma, mother and sister and our food was fantastic. It was hard to pick one dish! Not really sure about a woman’s negative review from today, but looking at her other reviews I don’t think she enjoys eating anywhere. We will be back and continue to support this local, family-owned, small business!

Amazing service & food. Yes it is on the spendy side, but well worth every penny!!

If I could I would probably give it a 3.5. At this price point I am expecting a perfect steak but mine had lots of fatty areas and some of it was over cooked. cocktail was not great and the duck wings were ok. Oysters were good and so was the lava cake dessert. The hostess and my waiter were awesome and friendly. At this price point I expect perfection all around. In fairness to the steak COVID has probably made it difficult to find good steaks. It did taste good.

Went there for Valentine's day, got seated in the event center next door at a very small table, with barely enough room for our plates. We had a very early reservation and there was still plenty of seating inside the restaurant as a friend of mine with a reservation 15 minutes after me, got seated inside. I ordered the tomahawk steak and was very disappointed in the cut of the steak for the price I paid. It was under cooked, very fatty and full of tendons. I've eaten here once before years ago and the meat quality was way better. I would not recommend this place for their steak or for a holiday event.

The service and food was good. It was nice for the chef to bring out our appetizers and explain them to us. I don't feel the prices match the food/ drinks being served and the environment, as others have stated. This is only my opinion however and I feel everyone should try Ricardos for themselves.

Excellent. I went during dinner without a reservation on Friday night, luckily they were able to seat us. The had a good selection or beers, cocktails, and wines. The complimentary bread was great. I had the house salad with ranch. The ranch tasted homemade. I had the steak tartare as an appetizer, and it was so flavorful. For the entre I tried the 30 day aged filet and it was cooked to perfection. This was a great experience and great food.

Coming from the food/ restaurant industry. We understand what it takes to run a restaurant. I say this to say: We give second chances. We dined here in November 2021, a party of six celebrating a milestone. I wasn't impressed with the service and my food. The waiter suggested a cocktail after I requested a not-too-sweet long Island. It was sickly sweet and when I eventually had his attention, he blew me off. The manager was helping out with our table and corrected my drink. Our bisque was lukewarm and tasteless. Salads desperately need an upgrade. My husband ordered the tomahawk, let's just say we've had better. Three others in our party ordered the ribeye and it was underseasoned and overdone. A few days ago we tried them again for another special occasion. Sadly, it was disappointing the second time. Tomahawk and ribeye were not seasoned and overcooked. They cook everything in some type of cheap butter. The sides was saturated in it and it makes you nauseous if you arent used to fatty foods. I don't know what the hype is. But to be located off the beaten path and less than posh neighborhood, dollar store steak knives, terrible service, and food that is an insult to the culinary profession, what is the deal here. Do your due diligence and buy snake river wagyu open a nice bottle of wine at home. Oh, plus do a deep dive into aged meats.

Fantastic service and delicious food. The cake was so yummy. We had the prime rib and loaded baked potato.
