This restaurant is an embarassment to the Ritz name. All that it lived up to was the high price. We ordered very good martinis, but after the bartender made them, it took another 10 minutes for our waiter to serve them. The menu was lackluster, without very many interesting food choices. We settled on the mussels, which were large and plump, but the broth was diluted and weak. The scallops were large and good quality, but were paired with plain, bland mash potatoes. The skirt steak was good, but served with rosemary french fries that made the experience very pub-like. After ordering a $64 bottle of red wine (complete with screw cap), the waiter said the year was wrong and they spent another 20 minutes looking for the correct year. Finally after our meal was 2/3 completed, we gave up on the bottle of wine and the waiter gave us wine by the glass, which was oxidized and undrinkable. The cheese course had grocery store cheeses, and some rubbery dried apples on it. The experience was not very pleasant, and far too overpriced for the quality of the food and level of service (about $90/each). There are too many other good restaurants in downtown Boston to waste your time here.
Pros: Trendy bar
Cons: Lackluster food, poor service
