The service was very slow and often absent. There was a mandatory large tip for terrible service. The food seemed old. Prepared ahead and stored poorly. There was a fly buzzing around our table. It’s a tea. They had only a few tea choices. The tea pots were poorly designed. They dripped every time a cup was poured. The Ritz has a reputation of good service. I’d like to know where it was. A bar tender was rude when we asked a question. Will never go back to the Ritz Rancho Mirage.

I think the $49.00 service charge was unnecessary. I would rather include that money in the tip

I had high expectations for Thanksgiving dinner at this property, but unfortunately, it fell short. The food was mediocre at best, and the ambiance of the ballroom felt like a poorly executed wedding reception. Adding to the disappointment, a 27% service fee for what was essentially a self-service buffet seemed excessive. While the property itself remains stunning, the level of service that used to set The Ritz-Carlton apart has clearly declined. For the price, this experience was underwhelming and disappointing.

We had a lovely lunch with a nice glass of wine. We sat outside with the pool off in the distance, but not loud at all. Many places to sit and have a nice view if you can't get outside dining at the restaurant area; the bar area inside is lovely to eat at, and the outdoor bar area also looked like. Nice option to dine at

As stated in an earlier review, when you are eating towards the end of the day for the buffet, some of the food items are dried out and not as tasty as earlier in the day. For the money, the food was not worth it. However, the service was excellent.

It was a nice buffet, but $150 per person just strikes me as steep. When I made the reservation I mistakenly thought the cost was $85 per person. Knowing what I know now, I would not have booked the reservation.

Don't waste your money on average food, in a large plain banquet room, no service except when first sat down and waiter?? explained where various food locations were, all spread over a very large area. Never told us of complimentary champagne which was terrible in retrospect. Carver could barely cut Prime Rib and I needed steak knife to cut at all with also being almost cold. Some salads were very good but that is all I could give any recommendation for, like eating at a Red Robin or something like that. Extremely expensive even though knew would be very pricey and had no complaints if there would have been any service or a wonderful dining experience. Men that were supposed to be waiters extremely lacking in any service whatsoever. All food AVERAGE at best. NOOO!!! Experience interesting!!!!!!!
