Pittsburgh's Ritual House starts summer with new, lighter dishes

The owners spent 18 months fine-tuning the aesthetics of the place to meet customer demand for a unique night out. They plan to add a private dining room on the second floor, which guests will be able to access directly from street level.

She writes features about interesting people and a weekly column about things to do in Pittsburgh.

The coconut shrimp skewers were subtle, not saccharine like the overly-breaded miniature shrimp that lesser restaurants deep fry and pass as coconut shrimp. These shrimp were lightly breaded, their crunch more like a delicate fritter than coconut shrimp. The final two components of the Ritual Sampler Platter alone are worth ordering the entire dish to get to eat. Teriyaki filet skewers are tender, cooked in a sweet and sour teriyaki sauce that warms the mouth like liquid candy. But the tempura squash blossoms are this platter’s crowning jewels. These savory, crunchy delights are filled with creamy ricotta cheese and porcini mushrooms.

Yap said she's heard whispers of people moving to Discord and Twitch, but these platforms don't have short-form video people can endlessly scroll like TikTok does. TikToker Cassandra Marie, for example, called Clapper the "new TikTok" and praised the app's growth potential, as well as the nostalgic feel of being like TikTok in its early days. It's unclear if such AI tools would convince Gen Z to scroll on Instagram and use it more often. However, Sophie Lund-Yates, from Hargreaves Lansdown, told the BBC that Meta's "substantial investment" in AI has helped it get people to spend time on its platforms. It is hard to make sweeping statements about any generation, especially one that spans the ages of 12 to 27, but a mass exodus of the ones who use TikTok to Meta's photo app is unlikely, they said. "The TikTok ban bill was just passed in the House, which is a bummer," she said.

The fish was cooked to juicy perfection, we just thought that the broth was also intensely sweet and, in our opinion, it overpowered the fish. We also weren't expecting the spinach, daikon, and carrots to be raw and served as a sort of salad in the broth. The weekend brunch menu features items such as lemon meringue pancakes, cinnamon sugar French toast sticks and crème brulee waffles.

We invite you to make Ritual House your sanctuary, and create your own rituals — whether that’s toasting major moments or gathering with people you love — here, in our house. New entrees include Asian-inspired fried chicken piled high on the plate atop a fresh Asian slaw and drizzled with Szechuan syrup. The sous vide beef short rib has a Burgundy wine demi-glace, pearl onions, carrots, and Parmesan grits. At the full-service bar, hand crafted, hand shaken cocktails using all with fresh ingredients are served.

Omelets will be served with breakfast potatoes and choice of toast. Herky Pollock said it took about 18 months to prepare the space — supply chain issues caused delays. The location is prime because it’s close to several hotels, the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, and not far from sports venues and the Cultural District.

The menu advertises that the platter is for 2-4 people, but the portion is probably closer to two people with healthy appetites. I say this because after you try some of these components, you’ll want to go back for seconds and will be disappointed if they’re not there. Each dish is portioned on a smaller, puzzle-piece-shaped dish for sharing. This one was flavored with miso and orange in a poke broth, with spinach, daikon, and carrots.

Rituals mark special moments in life that are worth celebrating — a birthday or anniversary dinner, retirement, a new baby, a business deal. After an appetizer duo like the above set, it’s easy to doubt that the second course could possibly match its predecessor. At least two entrees on the menu, however, surpass these exceptional starters. Once inside, the atmosphere was far more welcoming than the door staff. The outdoor seating area is comprised of long rows of tables and a perimeter of cushioned banquettes. A giant water feature is the center of attention, and hundreds of candles set the mood.

Ritual House opens in Downtown Pittsburgh's Union Trust Building

The restaurant is about providing memorable and delicious moments for everyday diners as well as guests who have something to celebrate, said Ritual House co-owner Herky Pollock, in a statement. The lemon dream has lemon cake, white chocolate cheesecake with lemon curd, lemon gastrique, and is topped with an almond lace. Executive chef Edwin Smith and pastry sous chef Zoe Peckich have brought their American cooking styles and modernized dishes with ingredients and techniques from around the world. The landmark building was was designed by noted Pittsburgh architect Frederick J. Osterling.

The Pittsburgh native learned simple, honest cooking from his grandma, who ran a catering business out of a fire hall in Reserve. Drink and food ideas have come from places the couples have traveled. The endeavor is the couples’ “love letter to Pittsburgh” Ricky Kirsop said in a statement.

Overall, although the proteins in our entrees were cooked exceptionally well, the flavors here missed the mark for us- the recurring sweetness was something that stuck with us well after leaving. Whether or not this was something we misunderstood from the menu descriptions or that we just did not craft a proper meal outright remains to be seen, but this one ended up being not quite what we expected. The meal's highlight was definitely the service, as our server was very attentive and gave many suggestions on what to order (we, admittedly, probably should've asked more questions about flavor here!). We had a long chat about the delicious-sounding dessert menu despite opting to miss it, and we found out that you can order desserts for takeout which is definitely on our list to try in the future.

The abundance of candles, dimly lit dining room, and serene water feature create an unbeatable aura of romance. And if Ritual’s beautiful menu doesn’t inspire courage, the stiffly poured specialty cocktails from the bar certainly will. The lobster dumplings, perched in large soup spoons, were perfectly cooked and chock-full of fresh meat.
