Diner Reviews
  • "What a treat! The food was excellent, location perfect and the waiter was the best. (Patrick). We really enjoyed the evening. Better than many "steak places"."
    Dined on 3/2/2014
  • "We had a nice dinner at Ruth's Chris. Their signature filet, however, didn't quite live up to expectation. It wasn't as tender or flavorful as in the past. Normally, their filets are center cut, but this one was not. Hopefully, I'll have better luck next time."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "Easy to stay within the Paleo concept of dining. Steak, veggies and salads were all excellent in portion and preparation. We had an excellent dining experience. Yes, we will return and maybe try the happy hour."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "When you're craving an awesome steak Ruth's Chris, the steak expert, is the place to go. Great steaks with all the fixin's and great menu/food all around."
    Dined on 2/28/2014
  • "Our server Bryan was supercilious with a pretense of friendliness. He could hardly wait to complete his spiel for what the restaurant offered-managing to sound bored the whole time. Service was exceedingly slow: the saving grace was our steaks."
    Dined on 2/27/2014
  • "Service was "when convenient". The steaks certainly arrived sizzling, mine more medium well than medium rare. The creamed spinach (milky, not creamy) and scalloped potatoes arrived semi-hot but were cool by the time that the sizzling steak on the 500 degree plate cooled and stopped spattering enough for us to begin cut and eat. Not quite worth the premium exacted for the reputation and brand."

  • "Lucie took great care of us. Palm Desert hwy 111, Ca"
    Dined on 2/23/2014
  • "We had phoned before getting there and requested to be seated in a section where a friend served. The hostess told us only a table in the front by the entrance was available or else we could have a booth where another server took care of us. We opted for that choice only to find out later that we could have been seated in a small room where our friend also worked. The girls in the front need to be trained better . Our mistake was to order lobster tails, which I recall to be very good there in the past. All four of us had them and they were less than mediocre. I guess, unless you really want steak one should not go there. Overall we found the restaurant too expensive for what they delivered."
    Dined on 2/21/2014
  • "Ruth Chris has performed well for years as an upscale pricey standard steakhouse. We shared a starter and side dish. Both had filet mignons (the 11oz. - better price performer). Our hostess and server and bus boy were all very pleasant and professional and very accommodating. Overall great dining experience."
    Dined on 2/17/2014
  • "Went for dinner the day after Valentines thinking it would be a little less crowded, but it was still pretty busy. Service was good but they were pretty swamped so not as attentive as times prior. $15 corkage fee is very reasonable since i brought my own wine. Food was wonderful. My friend had the seabass and i had the surf and turf with the rib eye and twin lobster tails. Everything cooked to perfection as expected! I would definitely return!"
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "We were a little disappointed, to be honest. We had a reservation, but we still waited about 15 minutes to be seated, and after we finally sat down and ordered drinks and appetizers we waited a good 15/20 minutes before we even saw our server again. She finally came back and took our order and we still had not received the appetizer. Our salads came out before the appetizer did and she apologized and it was removed from the bill, but we were there for over 2 hours. The food was good, It wasn't over the top impressive, but it was a good steak. I think i would prefer going to other steakhouse's before returning back to Ruth Chris."
    Dined on 2/15/2014
  • "we all had steaks fixed perfectly to order. Their classic four course dinner is a great deal. This is a steakhouse that we highly recommend for good service, consistent great food and a fun place. Their happy hour is also worth a visit."
    Dined on 2/14/2014
  • "We went for an early Valentine's dinner to avoid the Valentine's Day hassle. Everything was great from start to finish - food, service, atmosphere. Loved it!"
    Dined on 2/13/2014
  • "Yet another wonderful location that gives Ruth's Chris their reputation of fabulous dinning. Our server was top notch and our 8 year old was treated like royalty. The food was the highest quality. We have visited many Ruth's Chris and this one kept the bar high. Thank you."
    Dined on 2/12/2014
  • "We have dined at many Ruths Chris Restaurants but without a doubt this by far one of the best ever experiences. Brian, our servre was just on top of everything! Great explanations regarding the nights specials and the wine choices. Martine his Assistant was over the top, both in personality and attention to detail. We were there to celebrate a birthday and Darrell Woods, the Manager made it extra special for the evening."
    Dined on 2/11/2014
  • "Open Table doesn't allow for a long post so I'll just say the ambiance was nice, the service good, the cocktails fantastic. But when it comes right down to it, the steaks at what is supposed to be one of the best steakhouses around just weren't very good. No sizzling plates, no melted butter aroma. The smear of butter on my steak (ordered medium rare) didn't event melt and the fat in the rib-eye wasn't rendered."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "We were visiting Palm Desert and we're delighted to find a Ruth's Chris Steakhouse near our resort. The service and food were excellent, as we have come to expect from RCS, and we received excellent services from everyone. Thank you for a very enjoyable meal and the delightful experience."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Always been our favorite for steaks. This time all four of our meals were very salty, Salmon, Filet Mignon, Sea Bass & Roasted chicken. My son's salmon was dry and over cooked. Everything tasted real salty with exception of mashed potatoes and brussel sprouts sides. Now we will tell all our friends and return to Sullivans regularly."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Great service and food. Thank You Carol and staff."

  • "We had a wonderful dinner, Michael our waiter couldn't be more attentive. Food and wine were perfect. A great night!"
    Dined on 1/31/2014
  • "Have been to Ruth's Chris restaurants across the country. Took clients to dinner. Appetizer ordered but salads delivered. Order not entered. Ordered a second bottle of wine to find they had served us the last bottle. With 5 people, they should know we would drink more than one bottle. Why not tell us up front. Had to order a different wine. Three people ordered the same steak cut and were all three different when served. Different size and shape."

  • "One can never, ever go wrong with Ruth's Chris, they are the standard by which I judge every steak and are always the best. This was another exceptional dining experience. A+ quality & top notch service every time."

    Dined on 1/2/2014
  • "We had a very nice dinner, once again, at Ruth Cris. It seems that you can never go wrong in choosing this wonderful restaurant for a great meal. The food is always delicious, and the service is always excellent. We both chose the petite filet classic dinners. The portions were excellent and the side dishes perfect for sharing. Our server Mel, was more than accomadating. We always search out a Ruth Cris restaurant, even when we travel. This time we were in Palm Desert, California enjoying the holidays with my sister and her family."

  • "This us z winner every time. One of our favorites! Since it was Christmas it was very busy snd loud but should be expected. Fantastic food and service from Brian."
    Dined on 1/2/2014
  • "Had the beet salad, but Carol (the wait person) clarified it was a mixed greens salad with beets - big difference and good for her for pointing that out. I asked for mostly beets and few greens - turned out fine. Taste was acceptable, but nothing outstanding. Followed with a rib-eye (no bone); prepared as ordered (med rare), but lacked a rich, beef flavor. It was a RC steak - they're just OK. The mashed potatoes were hot and tasted fine. The dessert of berries in a cream sauce remains the best thing on their menu (which is why it won over another place that has better steaks): rich, decadent, and tastes great! Service by Carol was excellent as was service by the hostesses. Overall, a much more pleasant experience than my last visit."
    Dined on 1/1/2014
  • "We chose Ruth's Chris to celebrate New Year's Eve. We wanted a restaurant that was special and served delicious food - we were not disappointed! It was a great place to say goodbye to 2013."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "We went there to Celebrate New Years Eve with my Husband and my eighty year old parents. We have celebrated New Years together for the past ten years. I made this reservation back in November. We arrived and had to wait 45 minutes for a table. When we were finally seated, it looked like we were an after thought. The table we got looked like a card table they put up with four very uncomfortable chairs. It was such a disappointment. Needless to say our evening was not what we expected. I have already booked a table next year at the Chop House. I think that is where we will celebrate our New Years from now on. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone!!"
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "Filets were great for 3 of us. One had barbecue shrimp served with mashed potatoes--heavy and lacked barbecue sauce. My salad had too much dressing. Veggies were great. It was New Year's eve early dinner and serving staff were very personable and friendly, as well as greetings from the manager--but our waitress was business-like and somewhat cold. At the end, she slapped down the check without a word--no thank-you and never a smile. We never felt rushed, but it did feel a bit "assembly-line" (especially compared to our terrific experience at Flemings the night before)."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "Of all the different RuthsChris that we've been to, this Palm Desert location is our favourite. We ate here on Christmas Eve. Our server, Melanie, was fantastic. We did have some issues with a steak but that was promptly taken care of."
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "It seems that this place as well as other legacy chain steakhouses are not what they used to be very sad. I will not bore you with the details, as I am sure if you have been recently, you know what I mean. I guess we will have to rely on and support on the independents across the country."
    Dined on 12/28/2013

  • "ONE OF THE FINEST DINING EXPERIENCES IN THE DESERT, PLACE IT ON YOUR BUCKET LIST OF 'I MUST EAT THERE.'"
    Dined on 12/26/2013
  • "We always come to Ruth Chris for our birthday celebrations. And it never disappoints. Each morsel of food is perfectly prepared and we enjoy every bite. The waiters are trained well and aim to please. It's always at the top of our list!!"
