I’ve eaten here at least three times over the last few weeks, and the staff are all over the place. I sat at the bar recently, and the service was fantastic, prompt and professional. Outside, however, is a different story.
Firstly it takes ages to get served, then when you do the staff kept bringing out food which wasn’t for our table, by this point we hadn’t even ordered but they’d be walking around looking confused. This happened maybe four or five times. Whoever the food belonged to which they were carrying would have soon gone cold, considering it’s below freezing outside.
That probably explains why our chilli was stone-cold by the time we got it. The cheese on top couldn’t even melt it was that cold. I asked for the salt to which the server said “of course” waited 5 minutes before getting up and looking for it myself.
The nachos are probably the worst we’ve ever had. We didn’t want to pay an extra $20 for meat, so we got the basic nachos thinking there’d be some decent toppings but they were basically melted cheese on nacho chips, no salsa, no beans, and no jalapeños. They were so basic it’s almost beyond belief.
Considering the prices, they are charging, the service and food should be way better than this.
If it wasn’t for the pleasant experience I had at the bar, I’d give this...
Read moreWe came to the Ritz for lunch during a ski vacation. My friend has celiac disease and really, really loves nachos. It is surprisingly difficult to get truly GF nachos! She inquired whether the nachos were fried in a commingled fryer and our excellent waiter, Rahul, went to check with the kitchen. The kitchen very kindly fried scratch chips for her in a GF fryer so she could safely enjoy one of her favorite foods. The nacho plate was HUGE and I had some of it also. Very well-layered with the toppings on every chip.
I had the pozole which was very well done and not made superfluously "elevated" or bougie in any way. Just a solid pozole served with the appropriate toppings. Our other friend had the bison burger which was perfectly cooked to medium and quite delightful. I'm a chef and have high standards and they were exceeded.
We were treated so well and had such a wonderful time. I wish we could afford to STAY at the Ritz but lunch at Buffalo's is a fine enough...
Read moreExceptional Dining Experience at Buffalos!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at the restaurant and I must say, it was truly a culinary masterpiece. From the moment we walked in, the impeccable service and elegant ambiance set the tone for an unforgettable evening.
The culinary journey began with an exquisite pan de elote, perfectly toasted and infused with a hint of sweetness. The bacon appetizer was cooked to perfection, with a tender and juicy texture that simply melted in our mouths.
However, the true masterpiece was the lobster pasta with poblano a dish that can only be described as sublime. The succulent lobster meat was expertly paired with a rich and creamy sauce, all perfectly balanced.
To conclude, the desserts were a sweet and satisfying finale, my favorite.. the banana pudin.
Congratulations to the culinary team, particularly the Chef Shadow, for creating a truly unforgettable dining...
