Ritual House opens in Downtown Pittsburgh's Union Trust Building

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.

The menu will feature salads such as a Waldorf chicken salad with bib lettuce, honey candied walnuts, plumped cranberries, honey lime crème fraiche, and candied frozen champagne grapes. A few of the dishes might be familiar to diners as they are from Coast & Main Seafood & Chophouse in Monroeville, which the couples also own. There are plans for a second location of Coast & Main coming to East Liberty. Michelle Kirsop said it was important to pay attention to every detail when designing the restaurant and the menu. The goal was to entice all of the senses while creating a welcoming atmosphere, she said. Being able to gather for such happy times for a drink or meal in a place that feels like home is the inspiration behind the name of the newest restaurant in Downtown Pittsburgh – Ritual House.

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 wine list leans heavy into California, and the draft beer list is quite small with the likes of Miller Lite and Yuengling (plus a few bottle options with one or two local choices). The dining areas and bar span multiple floors- our table was in the level closest to the door. We've always thought this space was awkward, even when previous restaurants were in this space. We think it kind of feels like a hotel lobby or a place you should be walking through to get somewhere else with the rest of the restaurant disconnected from the area.

Owners also collaborated with the design team of Tracy Delisio and Taylor Schaffron from Next Architecture and Bill Krowinski of Bootstrap Design, both local companies. At one entrance there is a secret garden bursting with wisteria and comfy chairs hanging from the ceiling, created by artist Mia Tarducci, whose large colorful painting is displayed on a back wall.

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.

Edwin and Amanda Smith now run the back and front of the house, as executive chef and general manager, respectively. The restaurant opened Feb. 26 in Downtown’s Union Trust Building, in the space once occupied by Union Standard, which closed in June 2020. Michelle and Chef Ricky Kirsop, original partners on the project with co-owners Herky and Lisa Pollock, are no longer involved. The Kirsops run Coast & Main, a stellar seafood and chophouse at The District at Monroeville Mall.

Instagram is "boring, exhausting, and generally not fun" compared with TikTok, Farah said, which boomed during the pandemic and quickly became her most-used social media platform. But Gen Zers who spoke with BI said social media platforms all have different purposes, and they doubt Instagram can capture the magic of scrolling on TikTok. Side dishes include BBQ sweet potato with whipped Mascarpone and new pasta offerings such as lobster macaroni and cheese.

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.

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.

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. JoAnne Klimovich Harrop is a TribLive reporter covering the region’s diverse culinary scene and unique homes. She writes features about interesting people and a weekly column about things to do in Pittsburgh.

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.

In 2014, The Davis Companies, a Boston developer with local roots, bought the Union Trust Building and invested $100 million in its restoration. Since founding the site in 2015, we have explored over 1,300 attractions, restaurants, bars/breweries, events, cool public spaces, and so many more things to do in Pittsburgh. Sweet and sour Brussels sprouts were a second appetizer for the night which, while having an expected sweetness, was perfectly balanced with a zippy acidity from the citrus that we appreciated. Grilled lamb chops will be served with rosemary thyme honey and mint chimichurri and a double cut pork chop topped with cherry bacon relish. The Chilean sea bass has smoky bacon miso, stir fry vegetables and pickled cucumber. Entrees include the Turkey Devonshire on sourdough, roast turkey breast, beefsteak tomatoes, mornay sauce, and candied pepper bacon.
