Diner Reviews
  • "I used to enjoy going there. Recently went for a birthday dinner with my girlfriend. The waitress was inattentive and distracted, took our shrimp sauce away even though we asked to keep it, and would not check on our table for a long time. I had to wait and wait for another tea refill which never came (the restaurant, btw, was not busy, so no excuse). The food itself was mediocre, the quality of steaks has gone way downhill in particular. Otherwise the atmosphere was pleasant as always and the other staff was courteous and well trained."

  • "Born and raised in Richmond, Va. we are truly lucky to have Ruth's Chris in our city. It is our go to resturaunt when we have out of town company or need a special place to dine for those special occasions."

  • "We've been to this Ruth's Chris many times and have yet to be let down. This time, we had a weekend without the kids and my wife had a gift card she had earned through her employer. Other than having to wait about 10 minutes to be seated (when we had reservations), i have absolutely not critiques. Food was fantastic, wait staff was excellent and ambiance is wonderful here. We will be back."

  • "Wonderful venue! Excellent food and professional service. Quite expensive but worth it."

  • "Ruth's Chris is known for their steaks. When I can grill a better steak at home with inferior equipment, there's a problem. The cost is too great for fair food."

  • "There was not a single aspect of my dining experience that needed to be improved upon. The cheese stuffed chicken was the best I've ever tasted, the cheesecake was decadent, and the coffee was so fresh the oils could be noticed around the rim. The lighting was dim, the pianist well versed in his art, and the tables laiden with rose pedals...the perfect setting for a romantic evening with the one you love. I will certainly be back again."

  • "First time at Ruth's Chris. Not sure why we hadn't gone before. Absolutely loved our experience. James (our waiter) was very knowledgable, friendly and attentive. The food was awesome. I don't have any complaints at all. We loved it so much, we booked a reservation for May 10 (day before Mother's Day)."

  • "You could tell they were having a busy night as we entered...the comings and goings kept the front door flapping like a playing card in the spokes of a bicycle. Most we're two-tops, so the turnover was quick. That said...we were never rushed. As a matter of fact, our "regular" table was unavailable as the previous diners were taking...their...time. We were offered another table, near the piano, if we chose to eat closer to our reservation. Suffice to say, quality of the meal is always high...and folks go out of their way to make you feel you were the guest they had been waiting for all evening. Yes, this place has become our "Cheers" and I think we're okay with that..."

  • "This restaurant is 2nd to None when measured in several categories. First, you will not find more Reproducible, High Quality food---EVERY TIME---at any other fine dining restaurant. Second, the staff at this Ruth's Chris is simply outstanding. Third, the treatment of any and all customers is First Class. Finally, we have traveled to many similar Ruth's Chris----and while all are high quality places, this place is a cut above all others. One might say that this is the standard by which all Restaurants should be judged. Bravo to the Management!"

  • "Went here to celebrate two birthdays, took a little over 30 minutes to be seated even with a reservation, but the service and food was great. Definitely would recommend the surf and turf with lobster mac and cheese and ending with the creme brûlée! Location is in a nice, historic building. Bar is very small, but had construction walls up so it looks as if they are adding on to the building."

  • "Lots of cold and some snow here this week, so decided to enjoy a great meal at one of our favorite restaurants. It was nice and warm inside, with a pleasant view, and the wonderful food and service. The meal and experience lived up to our expectations. "A most civilized evening.""

  • "Everything about this restaurant is just wonderful!!"
    Dined on 1/4/2014
  • "More crowded than in past years, but we arrived and were seated immediately. The waiter asked us if we were familiar with Ruths' Chris and we said yes, but later he proceeded to tell us about the hot plates and their beef specialty, etc., so obviously he wasn't paying attention to the responses to questions we asked. He also had to be reminded to refill wine glass. The service was otherwise very good. The chocolate lava dessert was mediocre for the price."

  • "Went there for New Years Eve. So did a lot of others. Food was excellent, sides were great and enough for two, service was great even with large crowds. The noise level was definitely energetic, but based on past visits I am sure this was because it was New Years Eve. The menu was pricey, but the food was excellent and the quantity more then enough."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "We attend every New Years Eve. It was a tradition that my Dad loved, he has since passed away. We have continued this tradition and love the evening. It's special. We had a wonderful server, Brigitta. She was OUTSTANDING!!!!! Thank you for the great experience."
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "Very good food and service. Music was a little too loud. Server was excellent but go little support from water person. Still a nice place for a special occasion."
    Dined on 12/27/2013
  • "The food is always top quality and expertly prepared. The atmosphere is conducive to conversation. Service is excellent, especially Brigitta. The best thing about Ruth's is you know what to expect and that those expectations will be met time and time again."
    Dined on 12/26/2013
  • "While we don't get to this restaurant often, we always enjoy the experience. This visit was again very enjoyable. We were greeted and seated promptly even though the dining room was busy. Aubrey, our server, provided menu advice and information along with interesting conversation and a good sense of humor. Retiring to the bar afterward, David, the bartender, serves up fine cocktails and after dinner drinks with attentive professionalism."
    Dined on 12/23/2013
  • "This was my first visit to Ruth Chris for lunch. The food was excellent, the service great and the atmosphere very nice. Word of caution, this is not an inexpensive place to eat, so be informed."
    Dined on 12/23/2013
  • "We had a lovely evening with excellent service and food. We were a little disappointed that we had to wait over an hour for a table of the type we had requested. However, we were very impressed with the personnel at the front desk who could not have been nicer and more attentive in the face of a situation that was out of their control (people sitting at tables long after they had finished their meals). A very special thank you should go to the manager and the nice lady at the front desk! More restaurants should be so lucky as to have that kind of personnel."
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "The hamburger was the best EVER!! The ambience is great and the wait staff is exceptional!! Just wish they would at least have one or two days of lunch throughout the year instead of just December! Loved it!!"
    Dined on 12/23/2013
  • "Excellent lunch! Would love to be able to go year-round! Hamburger was excellent and the lava cake was massive!!"
    Dined on 12/17/2013
  • "I love Ruth's Chris in general and the Richmond location especially. Service in the bar is outstanding but it's not up to snuff in the dining room. The food and drink are always great. Could use a few more professional waiters/waitresses to improve the dining experience."
    Dined on 12/16/2013
  • "A birthday gathering. It needed to be a special evening, and it was. A request for a certain table, check. Being seated at that table within minutes of our reservation time, check. Prompt, pleasant service which met our every need, check. A surf and turf special chosen by three out of four of us at the table, outstanding, check. A "steakhouse" that continues to excel in the preparation of lobster, check. Wines selected by the Wine Capt., perfect choices, check."

  • "The wife and I just celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary , we wanted somewhere with plenty of atmosphere good food and drink ,so I booked a table at Ruth Chris , We had a great time , with Live piano music , great waiter service , and good food . So all in all we had a good time. On the down side although the food was good , For the price you pay and for what you get was really disappointing . We both had the lobster bisque soup wife had the petite filet I had the regular filet steak it comes with one side order , it was kind of funny really when the meal arrived it looked all alone on this big plate , anyway it cost us around $120 . Its nice to spoil your selves once in awhile but next time we'll probably eat at the Tobacco company"

  • "We love Ruth's Chris, but during our last visit, the NY Strip steak I ordered had an excessive amount of fat. I was very surprised that this could happen at Ruth's Chris. Our server apologized and a manager come by and credited our bill for the cost of one of our drinks."

  • "Paula, Dan, and Andrew were all instrumental in making for a wonderful evening. Paula was most engaging in greetings us and participating in delightful conversation as we waited to be seated (we arrived just a bit early). Dan was informative, attentive, and efficient, and clearly wanted us to have a great evening. The same can be said for Andrew. The manager stopped by for a visit and since we remembered him and he us from the last time that was also special. Thanks very much for "making our evening" and we look forward to the next visit."

  • "Every time I walk through the door at Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, I feel like a VIP. Their attention to detail, genuine warmth and superior food and wine make for an excellent experience. Any time I faced with a choice of Richmond steakhouses, I always opt for Ruth's Chris."
    Dined on 11/18/2013
  • "Been a number of years since we had been there and I do not remember Ruth's Chris being so outstanding. From the time we walked in the door until the time we left, I've never been to a restaurant where the staff was focused entirely on us. the Food is outstanding and service is impeccable. Not cheap but special occasion pricey if you know what I mean."
    Dined on 11/18/2013
  • "My wife and I were celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and decided to celebrate at Ruth's Chris. We had not been for many years, but had a fabulous experience several years ago. Unfortunately, our experience on Friday night was a little disappointing. - called ahead to let the restaurant know we were running late and the young lady answering the phone was rude - Lobster Bisque bowl was filled up about 75% - bread arrived to our table late - we'd ask for lemon with our water and had to ask again - Porterhouse was slightly overcooked - waitress was delightful, but shared a little too much personal information Our night was still enjoyable and we had a good meal. We just expected more from Ruth's Chris."
    Dined on 11/15/2013
  • "Ruth's Chris is like no other steak house or restaurant and we are so lucky to have one in Richmond. The Bellgrade Plantation is beautiful and creates a true Southern experience. The food is absolutely excellent. You are paying for perfection and you get it. We were there for my daughter's Sweet Sixteen birthday. Will definitely go back for another special occasion."
