The food. Plain and simple. The service by the hostess and Jamie was great, but we sent the French onion soup because it had herb stems and parts of onions not to be eaten. The server agreed and showed it to the chef and we saw him laugh from our table. Unacceptable! The hamachi and yellow tail was flavorless on the seafood tower, however the rest of the tower was good. I had the broiled lobster with roasted vegetables that did not seem to have a grain of seasoning. Pretty, but flavorless. For the prices, I expect better. The chef laughing about our issue with the soup is unforgivable. A nice restaurant, a little noisy, but the food isn't as good as the decor. An odd touch is they serve complimentary cotton candy after your meal. We will never return here. read more

We had a most wonderful experience at dinner. Our party of 11 (3 children), could not have been more enjoyable. Our waiter (Mike) was beyond attentive, he anticipated appropriately. The supporting staff worked seamlessly together. This has become one of our favorite locations on property. Thank you! read more

Service was amazing. While the prices may be high, the fish special and filet were worth a special visit.

We were so excited to try this restaurant located on the Ritz property. It was our first time in the area and we love Lake Oconee. Trying to find a lake house can be difficult when it's a second home but enjoying a steakhouse shouldn't be as pain staking. The food was good, my in laws both had the scallops and wifey and I both had the sea bass. The kids items are spicy for some reason, who puts spicy spaghetti sauce on kids pasta, so we sent that back and ordered the hot dog which was also spicy, he ate most of it but so weird. The server lacked all the energy and passion one would expect at a high end restaurant. When I spend $500 plus I expect some energy, unfortunately this gentleman must have hated his job. Shame on the ritz for such poor service and overall experience. read more

Bartenders were friendly and personable, Mike-our server was very attentive! Food was delicious except for the truffle frites which were not frites but haystack. Ambience was lovely. read more

Our server, Laurel, was phenomenal! She was very knowledgeable and helpful with the menu in ordering drinks and food. Our meal was delicious! read more

Service felt very rushed, asked for the steak to be spiced in the back but they just split it. For the 18oz Ribeye being $110 it was not very good, just average. Bacon on a wire was great and the complimentary cotton candy was nice. Lobster Mac and cheese was a large serving with a decent amount of lobster. read more

Got us in quickly, but downhill from there. There were 5 of us including our 4 year old granddaughter. Took over an hour to get our food. Steak was still not cooked as requested so had to send back and still undercooked. No apologies from manager or waitress even when we complained. A waitress from another table came over to apologize. This is part of the Ritz so you would think service would be better. read more

The food service in ambience was impeccable. I look forward to returning to this restaurant. Monica and Heather took care of everything for us. Terrific evening. read more

Tough to pay $80 for a filet and $300 for a bottle of wine and watch people walk around in flip flops and old blue jeans. I get casual dress but this is an expensive steakhouse, have some self respect and that for your fellow diners. Going forward I'll eat at other restaurants on property and watch the entertainment at a lower price point. read more

My wife and I were in town for our daughters college golf tournament. We were unable to stay at the Ritz because it was a booked but we wanted a great steak dinner . The reservationist called us back very promptly, and it was very easy to book Every person who greeted us from the hostess to the bread and water service personnel greeted us by name. Our server, Monica exhibited a great desire to make our experience the best possible. My wife and I were trying to decide which salad we wanted to split. To our surprise, Monica brought us out both and said one was on the house. when it was a apparent that my bone in fillet was a little overcooked, I can't tell you how many times she apologized immediately and got the proper temperature delivered to me with a new steak. The dining experience was exceptional in every possible way, even with the overcooked initial steak, but they more than made up for it by taking the price of that steak off of my total bill. I am always amazed at the level of service at any Ritz Carlton facility, this one was no exception ! Bravo, bravo bravo! read more

Only sat at the bar but had the worst service. We sat there for quite a while before the bartender appeared. She informed us that she was in the back doing her banking! And it went downhill from there. I would describe her personality and the service as downright surly. She seemed rather put out that she had to wait on us (a group of three women from the neighborhood affiliated with the Ritz). She was even more put out when she had to do three separate bar bills with our membership numbers, even complaining about how long our last names were (apparently too many letters for her to input!). Mind you, there was only one other patron at the bar so she wasn't busy. We golf at the golf course adjacent to the restaurant on a regular basis, but we will be taking our business elsewhere in the future. Who wants to spend money at an establishment where you are made to feel like an inconvenience?! read more

Sat at the bar, which was fortunate for me. Bar staff took great care of me all evening, making wonderful food recommendations and drink accompaniment recommendations, too. Nice, upscale environment. White tables clothes, but character in the decor. Everything I ate and drank was top notch. read more

If you're ready to be entertained, get the candied bacon. They light the bacon on fire. Literally. It was very entertaining to watch. As for the food, can't say I didn't enjoy a bit of everything. I was also extremely full by the end of the meal. My favorite part was dessert--banana foster? Yes please, and thank you. read more

We came here Easter weekend for dinner and had an exceptional experience!! The food was delicious and the service was even better. Morgan, our server was amazing and made sure we had the best experience here. We will definitely be back again soon!! read more

Expensive. Food bland. Disappointing while we really want a good steak this is not the place.

The ambiance, and service was great but the food was not good. The steak lacked flavor and was severely undercooked, the sea bass was watery and just tasted bad. The shrimp cocktail was fair. The crab cakes and bacon were great. Overall would give it a 7/10 and probably wouldn't eat there again. read more

Always a great meal with great service anytime we come in. They require you to wear a mask while you go to your table. But obviously can take it off while you are seated. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. We had a party of five. We all loved our food! Most notable are the steaks (always on point), the mushrooms, French onion soup and the truffle Mac and cheese. The mushrooms were SO flavorful! The French onion soup was delectable. The truffle Mac didn't skimp on the cheese at all. Overall an amazing (yet pricey) meal. For sure a place for special occasions (a birthday and an anniversary in our case) read more

Love that place. We come to the Ritz with lots of family in the late fall; sometimes even for thanksgiving. We love getting there after the Christmas decorations are on display. Longer longer is a must experience. read more

We got a special tomahawk with a lobster tail. It was my boyfriends birthday and they gave him a dessert in the house! I did call earlier to switch the reservation to 7, and they said they couldn't, so we got there at 6:15 they still sat us... and it was dead the two hours we spent there which was strange. read more

Martini had ice chunks in it. Steak was medium well instead of medium rare. We pointed it out and asked for money back rather than a new steak. Also they didn't deliver the bearnaise sauce because they ran out and had to make more. They came out ten minutes later with a new steak that was still over cooked. We didn't know there would be new steak so that was confusing. All in all service was fine except that at those prices it should have been perfect and the food should have been perfect. It was not. read more

average steakhouse- on the Ritz property so very convenient, but that's about it. Steak was average at best, service was ok, meh meh read more

I would have like to give 3 stars but considering the cost ($500 tip included) it would not be commensurate with the fare The staff at the Ritz couldn't stop talking about the bacon appetizer which was just "meh." The service provided by Morgan started off fine, but then she got a table of 6 or 8 which completely required her attention. The special bone-in ribeye was mediocre at best, the baked potato came to the table cold and the creamed spinach was just okay. Their wine list is heavy with California wines, one might expect a better selection of Italian and French wines. The best selection imho was the ZD cab. All in all this is not a steakhouse one would expect to be associated with a Ritz Carlton. In actuality all the restaurants in the area are just so-so. I imagine if one buys a home in the area it's for the lakes & golf. Be prepared to cook at home. Linger Longer?... couldn't wait to leave. read more

The waitstaff was very professional and knowledgeable. The food was delicious!!! Great atmosphere. Will definitely be back.

We had stayed on the property and had a great dining experience the night before and was really looking forward to having some amazing steaks from this Resturant. The steaks really didn't have any flavor and all the sides where extremely salty. Considering how expensive it is to dine here, I wouldn't recommend this location. read more

Our food was outstanding, and our server, Lindsay was one of the best we have had! She had two large tables in addition to our table for two. We never felt neglected and she handled all with a smile!! read more

Cassandra was our server and absolutely enhanced our experience. The food was great. We asked if we could move our table when she first greeted us because we were in a cramped corner. She immediately made that happen and we were appreciative to at she would still be our server. She took great care to ensure that we had a good experience. Dinner was outstanding as always. read more

Everything about this dinner was absolutely amazing! We had the ribeye medium rare and steak was cooked to perfection and very flavorful! The beef tartare appetizer had ice cream on top and at first, we thought the combination was a bit strange but it was the perfect balance of savory and sweet! The shrimp cocktail was a decently large size and was delicious. The truffle potatoes & broccoli side dishes were very tasty with flavor! The additional lobster tail add-on was perfectly pouched and melts in your mouth! Definitely worth the add-on! You won't be disappointed! One of the best dinners we've ever had! Not to mention, the service was wonderful and very attentive! Highly recommend! read more

Took our son for his birthday. Beautiful restaurant and grounds. Staff were friendly and attentive. Had the bison rib eye. Bad choice. This was the worst steak I have ever had. It had more sinew than a good pair of snowshoes. The rest of the meal was on par and met expectations. I would not recommend at this time. If you do go forget trying the bison. read more

Food is pretty good. Steak was good. Steak fries were delicious. We had a dinner and breakfast here. Our breakfast was OK. Omelet was not very warm and my English muffin wasn't toasted much and cold. Servers are very friendly. read more

Delicious steaks, bacon appetizer and cotton candy for dessert. The service was phenomenal.

Impeccable service! The restaurant is observing social distancing. We celebrated a birthday and the staff were very accommodating and attentive. We started with octopus which was perfectly prepared and extremely tender. Main course included filet, ribeye, creamed spinach, Brussels sprouts, and truffle Mac and cheese - all were seasoned well and tasty. The cotton candy at the end was the icing on the meal. Beautiful property, will definitely return. read more

Great food and service. Attention to detail and very well ran restaurant. Both the server and the manager were very attentive.

The food was overpriced and mediocre, the service was worse. The restaurant was half empty, but you would have thought they were over capacity. It took forever for anyone to come to the table, and that was constant throughout our meal. My $65 steak was over cooked and the side that I ordered was forgotten. So my wife ate her meal, then mine came out, "re-done", then her dessert came out. I was never asked if I needed anything else or wanted dessert or another drink. The random woman, who I assumed was a manager of some kind, continued to trash talk Alabama, she did not seem to care who she offended, and also offered no apology. She had no class and it showed. When you consider that our meal cost $250, I feel that we got ripped off by a factor of at least 5. This was a $50 meal AT BEST. read more

We just moved to the area and this was our first visit to the restaurant and it did not disappoint! The food from the appetizers, salad, steak, soufflés to the cotton candy were all delicious, on-point and well presented. The service was impeccable, we especially enjoyed having a conversation with Heather who could not have been nicer. A great way to spend a romantic evening out. read more

This place is my favorite restaurant. We got here every Christmas Eve and for every birthday celebration. Considering it is the closest formal restaurant to Athens they continue to go above and beyond. Their cocktails are very good and the two different spreads that come with the bread at the beginning of the meal are divine. You can not go wrong with any cut of meat but I also highly recommend their fish specials. I am not a big fan of getting fish out because often times it is dry and over cooked but I have never had that problem at Linger Longer. The last time we were there the sun was streaming through the windows and going directly in my mother's eyes. She was frustrated but was trying to not cause a scene, Mikealaus noticed that she was obviously uncomfortable and went above and beyond to remedy the situation. He also was extremely friendly and we enjoyed him throughout our entire experience. I am not sure if he is a full time waiter at this point but if not, I would highly suggest promoting him. We enjoyed his company very much and it made the night even more enjoyable. This is a great spot for both locals and for people visiting the beautiful Ritz at Reynolds Plantation from out of town. We will definitely be back. read more
