The The service was excellent. The waitress, whose name I don't remember, but who has dark hair, was so nice and kind; she treated us like family. You should give her a raise; she deserves it. I highly recommend this place.

Giving a restaurant you've never been to a try can be dangerous but sometimes rewarding. Well the ritz is one of those wonderful moments when you're glad you walked in. Doesn't have much atmosphere and a bit noisy but the food and service is excellent. Portions are enough to take home and so fresh and well made hats off to the chef. Great service by laurie. Prices are very reasonable and definitely make a reservation. Highly recommend.

Awesome little place in downtown Northport. The drinks and food and service were perfect. The restaurant is small and comfortable and seem like they were regular customers and the staff/owners who really took care of people. There was a nice acoustic guitar player who was an excellent entertainer, and the sound was also at the perfect level, not too loud.

I write this review regretfully because I really don't want too many people to find this place, we want to keep it for ourselves. I walked in this place for business, 20 or so years ago, and to date, I have not had a meal here, where I didn't lick my plate clean. The place is a hidden gem. Ever so slightly off the many drag in Northport Village, it is so worth the short walk from main street. Listen, Northport has lots of really good restaurants were you can eat a good meal at a good price, or a good meal at an absurd price, Ritz will give you such an amazing meal you won't give a damn about the price and then when you do see that price you'll say "really, that's it"? Are you sure I can't give you more? The portions are more than enough for some leftovers, but you probably won't have any because you aren't going to want to stop eating.

Went on New Year's Eve. We shared Coconut Shrimp for a appetizer, was fine. I had Chicken Franciase (photo, I like lots of pepper). It was very good. My wife had Seafood Fra Diavolo. She said it was good, could have been a little spicier. Had Key Lime Pie for dessert and that was excellent, nice and tart.

I was here 36 years ago when Joey first opened. Now on my 70th birthday I had the Good Fortune to eat at this same restaurant. Joey has made it to hard times and the product he puts in front of you is fantastic. The presentation is gorgeous and the food, well, MANJA!

Just left The Ritz, and oh my goodness, the food was EXCEPTIONAL! Our waitress, Robin, was so peppy & friendly & the bartender, Jess, made the yummiest Sangria! We even got a visit from the chef, Fernando, who by far made the BEST KEY LIME PIE & FLOURLESS CHOCOLATE CAKE! Seriously the best we have ever had! What a treat! 🤗

Great atmosphere, and good customer service.The food wasn't hot enough; serving it hotter would make it great.

The menu is extensive with excellently prepared dishes. A home run. The escargot with mushrooms and the Tuna sashimi appetizer which we had last week was excellent along with the Blackened Swordfish and Flounder Florentine entrees. Drinks are mixed and served well. Service is attentive and friendly. Prices reasonable. We book the high top tables along the window with a view of the park and harbor. The other tables are low not offering any view. Many folks eat at the Bar which is active. The food and service make this a worthwhile restaurant with repeat visits.

Always a pleasure at The Ritz. It's been around long before me. It's like "Cheers" everyone knows everyone in this small town. I would have given 5 stars except that we came for a friends Birthday and the person whom we were celebratings dish was supposed to have salmon on the salad and it arrived with Chicken instead. I do not believe we were compensated for the error either.

We have dinner here more than a few times a year. Very good pub grub - drinks, wine, beers done well by bartender - prices reasonable. Big draw is reservations - good for prime time summer months when crowds fill up the town. Bar crowd tends to be on the subdued side - many older locals, not kids who get loud after a few rounds.

The food was ok the both pastas that my family ordered were under cooked and my mothers had a hair in it. my fathers pork chop had the same black hair in it as well. A common theam with the meat we were served was that they were tough. Both my father’s and brothers meals were tough but the rest of the dish was good. My meal was mostly good such as the fries and the onion, the burger was cooked past medium(what i asked) and was well done and tough. The servers were very nice and took care of the problems and always were around to fill up the waters and they held up the drink menu for my wheel chain bound mother. The price for each dish was a lot around $20 per and I expected a better meal for that price

Good great- adorable restaurant. The waitress- an older woman- nasty as can be. She really was very nasty. I understand there is a limit on how long patrons have a table but there is a better and more professional way to speak to a customer. There was a misunderstanding on the phone when I made the reservation. The young woman who I spoke to was awesome and so accommodating. Very professional. If she got in trouble by the old cranky waitress - then I am sorry. Please personally contact me and I will be happy to speak to your manager. The old waitress needs an attitude adjustment and a class on how to speak to customers. She’s lucky I left her a tip. She truly didn’t deserve one. Nasty to me and to my friend and her family who sat at a different table. I would return but I would make sure I didn’t get that waitress.

My wife and I went to the Ritz Cafe for dinner tonight before seeing a show at the Northport theatre. I have to say, I was not pleased with the overall dining experience. The one positive I will say, is the young hostess was very sweet and she seemed to be the happiest person in the building. When I asked for a lower table instead of a high top, she did try to accommodate us, but we managed okay with the high top. i say to the young hostess keep up the good work. I am not pleased with the waitress and the overall attitude with the rest of the staff. First off, it took the waitress a long time to even approach us to take our order. Secondly, when she took our order, she had this attitude and look on her face that said, "Hurry up and order, so I can punch out and go home." Thirdly, my wife orders a diet coke and it took about 10 minutes to bring her the soda. Fourthly, the food was below average and it looked like frozen product out of a bag and the waitress just dumped the check on the table without even looking at us. I can handle the food not being outstanding, if the overall attitude and vibe of the restaurant was more positive. I never waited tables before and dealing with the public and their food is a very hard job. I understand if the waitress was busy and was upset about something else. In that regard, I look at management and question whether they are giving the wait staff the tools to be successful. Unless I hear that there has been a change in attitude and food quality, the next time I attend a show at the Northport theatre, I will not be returning to the Ritz Cafe.

Disappointed . We arrived at 7for our res hostess said it would be a 1/2 hr or so wait they’re really busy. I say we have a res for 7 her reply while laughing we can’t do that. We don’t have that table for you I said OK I understood it was restaurant week we stood in doorway waiting. 35 sat at table 15 minutes later waitress shows up not very pleasant got our food around 8.20 Food was OK but I was hungry so ate it. check my phone there an email from OpenTable about me being a no-show for my reservation. The hostess was nearby and I asked why she said I was a no show she said who cares and was very dismissive and when I explained that it goes against me, she came up with a Story about the tables being split, and open table doesn’t allow you to split tables. the waitress asked was everything OK and I said I tried to find out why your staff member said I didn’t show up for my reservation. I tried explaining that it goes against you when you’re no call no shows on OpenTable. The person sitting next to me had overheard the conversation and chimed in saying it happened to her I was a no call no show and I was banned off OpenTable so really you should have your staff member correct that.she did say she would talk to the hostess about it. I got my dessert. My husband did not get his dessert. We got the special Bill was placed on the side of the table. I was told she had to spend 20 minutes on the phone with OpenTable trying to sort this out with a lot of attitude at no point did a manager come over and apologize did they make any compensation for their complete mess up and how they treated us.I usually don’t write reviews negatively because I understand that there could be a lot of things going on a lot of times I just forget to write reviews, but I do go to a different restaurant every week so I have a ton of eating out experience.spent 1am to 6 am throwing up

We had a reservation tonight and we still waited 30 minutes but sure no problem it was a nice night so we waited outside. When we sat we waited another 20 minutes for a server. I asked where our server was and then she appeared but with no apology. We then ordered drinks! Server was Not friendly at all. Drinks came and we ordered a soup to start and our entrees. Soup never came out so we asked when it will come out and yes again it appeared it’s like they forgot until we asked. Food also took a long time to come out. We were never asked how our dinner was and if everything was ok. Nope . We had to ask for our check. Not asking if we wanted dessert. She was working on a larger table so obviously she was more attentive to them . Food was ok but won’t be back. Restaurant is small with a few tables outside curbside. Not appealing at all. Plenty of other places in northport to eat!

We had to wait 30 minutes for our table. The pasta, which was supposed to be in red sauce, was just boiled with raw tomatoes and lacked any flavour or proper preparation. There was hair in the water, and the chicken patty was undercooked and raw. Please look into the food quality and hygiene.
