    The atmosphere was fantastic, and the staff were very friendly and attentive. The venue was also incredibly spacious, although the table layout was a little odd, with some tables arranged horizontally and others vertically. The food selection wasn’t particularly extensive, but most of the dishes were pretty good. My personal highlights were the roasted chicken, BBQ, pancakes and roast beef. The brunch package also included a complimentary Margarita. I initially thought it was bottomless, but it turned out to be just one drink per person! The DJ playing live music really added to the vibe and made the whole brunch experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it was a lovely brunch experience with great service, a lively atmosphere and some really tasty food.

    10/10 experience! Many brunch locations don’t allow for reservations and having the option to book ahead was perfect as I planned to host my birthday brunch and bridesmaid proposal at Ricarda’s. Staff were so accommodating, answered all of my questions promptly, and ensured everything ran smoothly. The food was delicious and the live music on Sundays was an extra special touch. I would definitely recommend Ricarda’s!

    First time coming here, the food was the highlight of our brunch! Our server seemed to have too many tables as it took a while to order and when our food arrived no one touched our table until our meal was nearly done. We ordered the short rib dish, duck confit sandwich, and shared one of the crepes recommended by the server. Didn’t enjoy the crepe and would’ve asked to order something else in replace of that item, had someone touched our table. Overall the rest of our experience was very nice. Will definitely come back simply for the food!!
